  2. Re:I am confused on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 0

    Hey. I have idea, don't worry about it.

  3. Re:Nano-technology on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 0

    I forgot to mention the serious reasearch into chemical computing that was derived from recent brain research. And to clarify, atomic CPU's use the motion of a few atoms to convey complex mesages from place to place. This would mean that an entire computer (provided ram, accelerators and all the other stuff gets smaller too) could fit in your pocket if not smaller. These would not be PDA's but full home computers. Some of the other uses for nano-technology are super strong archetecture, protein mapping, nano-bots for medical purpouses........

  4. Nano-technology on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 0

    Nano technology is sweeping the R&D community, everthing from carbon nanotubes to 20 nanometer wire to atomic CPU's are in thought at the moment. These ideas are not constrained however to just computing, but that is a large part of the proposed market.

  5. FOR THE FUTURE on Re-Building the Wright Flyer · · Score: 0

    Perhaps, with the restoration of the plane, we can someday fly as easily as we can hitch a horse and buggy.

  6. THOUGHT POLICE on Billions of Habitable Planets? · · Score: 1

    Just keep in mind that there are no difinitive answers, theories or results to this idea. Anything can happen, we coulkd find a billion, and we could find none. The whole idea is onle inductively conclusive.

  7. Hope no one gets fried! on Free Wireless Networks at Airports · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/01/23/132223 8&mode=thread Remember this artictle @slashdot awhile back. I'm willing to bet that al least 10 people try to sue the airports because of something similar to this.

  8. Re:A bottle? on Coleman To Sell Portable Fuel Cell Generator · · Score: 1

    A bottle is equal to 1.85 metric craploads

  9. Yes...but on Black Holes Disputed · · Score: 1

    All atoms (and other particals) are moving really fast 0.1 the speed of light. This creates alot of entrophy between particles, so they are not likely to fuse together. When one partical does not move at all, every other local partical (and theortetically every particle in the universe) is attracted to a single point. This minimizes entrophy, thusly maximizing energy ( ant velocity to that point) in all local particles. This theoretically means that local particals will smash into eachother from all angles. Since most velocity vectors will cancel, the new fused partical will also have no kinetic energy. This process will excalate into a full on black hole.

  10. Re:What about -273K? on Black Holes Disputed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, thats what I meant. I guess I need some more coffee

  11. What about -273K? on Black Holes Disputed · · Score: 1

    Scientists theorize that in the event that a particle attains no energy (absolute zero) it would create a black hole. This is a higly complicated idea involving the similarities between absolute (infinate) energy and zero energy (absoulte zero). Here is a good web page involving multiple ideas and mathematics on black holes/gravity ect. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/htmltest/rjn_bht.html

  12. No...I have the record on P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz · · Score: 1

    I think I hold the record, I overclocked my 120 to a 133mHz. (You can laugh now) I also upgraded to 32 megs of ram (You can laugh more now)

  13. Here's another question on The 11 Greatest Unanswered Questions of Physics · · Score: 1

    Here is a question science has yet to answer: Why can I remember my locker combonation from sixth grade, but I can't remember the day of the week?

  14. Think about what Mac really is? on Steve Jobs And The Oh-So-Cool iMac · · Score: 1

    Do you know what Win95 is referred to as? Mac'89 Mac realized that Gates was obviously dominating the industry with software (allmost exactly like MAc's), so they simply tried to find something with the hardware that people would buy.

  15. A Bad Idea on Pain-free mice · · Score: 1

    Pain is nature's way of saying something is wrong. Without it, a person could have a heart attack and not know until they are already dead (then again if they were dead how would they know?)

  16. Re:What is NASA thinking!!??? on NASA Researching Antimatter Engines · · Score: 1

    This would not be convienient unless we could find a way to convert energy back to matter and into the same origional configuration. Science just does not have the capability of understanding such a concept.

  17. Home use on Start the Presses: Printable Circuits Nearly Ready · · Score: 1

    In a few more years, it could be possible to to by a circut printing kit. It would make home PC creation alot easier and cheaper.

  18. What is NASA thinking!!??? on NASA Researching Antimatter Engines · · Score: 1

    I wonder if NASA has even began to consider how they will contain the reactions? Nuclear particles (electrons, protons, muons, positrons ect.) are a defined entity. An electron of an iron atom is no different that one from a water atom. This means that particles from the hull of the ship and the nickel that they plan to annihilate have equal probability of colliding with an antimatter particle. When one collision between an anti and true particle take place, the resulting energy could send trillions upon trillions more particles into similar collisions. The entire ship could be converted into pure energy.
