Excerpt fromt the EE times article on it for the lazy:)
The latch consists of a single wire acting as a signal line, crossed by two control lines with an electrically switchable molecular-scale junction where they intersect. By applying a sequence of voltage impulses to the control lines and using switches oriented in opposite polarities, the latch can perform the NOT operation, which, along with AND and OR operations, the essential logic functions for general computing. In addition, the crossbar latch can restore a logic level in a circuit to a nominal voltage, which allows a designer to chain logic gates together to perform computations.
I can't believe this is story was posted. As much as I dislike MS on many levels, THIS IS BETA!!!!
Furthermore, some of the most effective anti-spyware tools I have used have broken windows before. It is in Microsofts best interest to be carefull in their approach to this. If they break legitamite programs with their tool, they a looking at lawsuits (EULA or no) and they have money to go after.
Please save the bashing until this thing is released officially as non-beta.
While the twheel probably weighs a small amount more than a tire/wheel configuration.. I give you this.
Up until very recently MOST cars had steel rims, now they are moving towards aluminum. The difference in weight between an aluminum and steel wheel is quite bit more than what will likely be lost due to the rubber fins.
Also due to the construction of the twheel, it will be easier to make a forged spoked wheel as oppossed to the pressure cast ones used in most consumer cars. This will HELP to correct the small gain in weight.
There are tons of things manufacturers can due to drop unsprung weight that they do not do in non-exotic cars. things like aluminum rotor hubs, lighter suspension components... etc.
The only people feeling the weight issue are exotic owners and racing circuts.
I would guess they would use a beam splitter and do simultaneous tracks at once. That would be the only way to defeat the physical rotation speed limitation.
The sole reason this will not work using current internet infrastructure is bandwidth.
In the making of Final Fantasy, it took longer to send the information to the nodes than it took the nodes to process it. That is with dedicated gigabit networking.

I hear when you do that, you get Director Commentary as an added bonus. (still trying to figure out what agency he is a director of though)
Also, did you know that tin foil hats cause excessive sweating when hidden under a beanie?
Is it just me, or is configuring ALSA a black art?
Black art.. no
It's more of a spiritual quest on the path to total enlightenment. Truly a study in the art of Zen.
The trick is learning how to configure it for hardware that will not work with it. Think about it.
Make this one a threepeat!
I believe on FARK, this would be refered to as a "tri-fecta".
Many radio stations have websites that you earn points on by answering questions about stuff they play/say at a specific time of day.
Mine records all of the countdowns (that happen while I work)
I redeam points, and earn lots of free tickets to concerts, that and it is usefull for recording select radio shows.
I see you half got my joke :)
How long do you think it will take some bored script kiddie to end up tracking everyone and watching the results like a bad game of the sims.
Is it really all that beneficial to have this securing mechanisms?
Either way I am not gonna complain unless this effects Belgian Beer production.

Next thing you are going to tell me is that this will run Duke Nukem Forever.
Bravo... BEST RANT EVAR!!
my appologies for running out of mod points.
Don't associate the two. Seriously. Also, is the Internet ready for this kind of traffic?

Where's my pitchfork?

V and VI,
Best games in the genre I ever played. Day of the tentacle wasn't bad either. Plus it had Maniac Mansion hidden in it (on the computer, duh).
Too bad Kings Quest started to suck at No. 7.
Hated the interface. And I wasn't a fan of the puzzles.
That's a swell idea. LET THEM GOUGE US ALL!!
Seriously though, I did the same thing.
Seriously though...
This has nothing to do with spam laws. Plain and simple identity theft prosocution.
Wake me up when he is prosocuted for breaking the CAN-SPAM act, he is asking for the additional penalty sections.
umm... is this thing on? Hello?

Is Slashdot broken?
Seriously though,
This has little to do with spamming at all. It was using identity theft for a money making scheme.
Wake me up when there is something pertaining to SPAM laws.
A CAN-SPAM conviction would be interesting. I can see him being prosocuted in the future with harsh penalties.
We had a game on the Apple IIe back in elementary school where you were an escaped slave trying to follow the underground railroad.
They took it away after a short time, something about racism. Anyone know the name of that game? I never did finish it.
In order for this to be a breach of the DCMA, he would have had to break a digital security measure.
Seeing as this is Windows, it was less of a security measure and more of an invitation.
Bah, all you need to worry about is when your mom sets a bottle of lotion and kleenex next to your PVR and it starts playing pr0n.
