With regards to nanotube Field Effect Transistors, as the gap is bridged, more electrons flow over using that bridge. It is the easiest route, and with enough Voltage, the jump get's easier, yet the gap gets larger.. And so you have a shift, a switch, whatever it is called.. But when we reduce the scale to the size of nanometers, we are getting closer to the disintegration of the walls. From here on in we are playing in the world of the small, yet powerful. One could speculate that this layer of abstraction will mimic the least, the underlying layer. The area where the fundamental properties start to change. Now we are starting to play with things that can hurt us? We will play.

You must be blind, or in the city looking up. Last year, I was seeing about 8 every minute. Of course, I was kilometers away from any town..
>Suppose MS disappeared tomorrow and everyone moved en masse to Linux? Bingo, a new monopoly. What's the difference?
Linux (order from chaos) could quite possibly become a monopoly like microsoft (chaos from order), but a monopoly that has source code available to every user of the system, and anybody with a bit of knowledge, and some drive can become a member of the monopoly... Some day... Someday..
Do 2000 / NT have these embedded "features" in them?
Sounds like XP is a great way of monitoring the home user's habits. Seems like big brother is increasing a stranglehold on the polulation masses ( uneducated / incompetent computer users )
But then, do their computer related abilities give a monopoly like microsoft the right to exploit these weaknesses?
? I always thought of them as rather good, but then again I'm an American, so I'm mainly comparing them with American news...:/
American news sites seem to be more close minded and biased (patriotic, self centered) than most other sources and doesn't really realize that there is a world out there beyond the scope of war / exploitation.
But I guess they are not as bad as china in the way of repressing the majority of the population.
Do you pick bottles for a living? That is a good trade to do outside.. Along with those construction monkeys.. Hmmm, let the ole sun burn ya up you cancer mongrel
Live at night, It's a wonderful life. Fuck the system from home.
RTCW, QuakeIII, and of course DOOM in (svga mode).
All ported and run beautifully.. I remember the first time I ran a game under linux. Unreal Tourney at 1280x1024 on my geforce3. Linux never looked so good. And with WineX support, it's only getting better. Soon that old windows partition will be outa date
Is it just me, or does life feel a little surreal these days.. Soon we'll have constant streams of data coming into our house, custom tailored to our way of life, telling us the price of gas has been lowered, and that our victory gin rations have been raised !!
Those reasons, and more, are exactly why I don't really use Windows anymore, except for the odd game, and maybe some arbitrary process I can't run on my linux box. The whole ease of use that ms comes with is great for the computer illiterate user, but in the process of greatly simplifying tasks, many default assumptions have been made, usually the right assumption, but sometimes choices users wouldn't make.
Give me control over my operating system, and I will be happy, unfortunately windows is a few steps behind on the evolutionary chain pertaining to that aspect of os's

Hmmm, wonder if the dbase is running on an open source os.

Tank wars was by far the best, much better IMHO than Scorched Earth

Just had to comment on that sig file.. So true, so true...
I love my KDE windows-like interface with all of it's pleasant sounds and and cute gears!! I thought I was getting Gnome just looks better to me..
