    POWER TRANSMISSION Wires spun from carbon nanotubes could carry electricity farther and more efficiently.

    And with the decreased load on electrical power consumption we might now be able to decrease the rate of nuclear contamination from power plants.

    You are right. Only later did I realise you are still all my Linux brothers. I am paranoid these days. As soon as I see a story like this I expect all the MS zealots to come out of the woodwork. Windows 2000 and XP are fantastic O.S.' - no really they are but not as good as Linux in many ways. They have the $$$ to keep the lions share of the market for a long time to come, so much so that my increasingly cynical mind expects them to almost pay people to post on /.

    I hope not!

    Theres'a a slight problem with that. Americans are more innovative as a whole in terms of generalising. ( Had to get the generalising part in there in order not to contradict my logical syllogisms...). The problem is that many Americans are just selfish - out to make a difference for their own personal glory - not to genuinely help their society and the poor. They just generally don't give a crap. Bram Cohen is an exception though. Go Bram ..

    Foreign students seem far superior in math/science as highschool graduates. However, their colleges are often quite bad, letting us Americans catch up. For example Asian countries focus on memorization, not critical thought, which makes them more like cogs. I find I have to heavily manage them, rather than delegate.

    Maybe in the US, allot of Asian students are cogs but that's not always the case. You will find very creative and mathematical people amongs them as well.

    I am reminded of the Chinese remainder theorem I studied during Number Theory in Uni.

    As for US students catching up, I would say they overtake most countries through University and a highly competitive society ( too competetive? )

    Some say the American school system us badly designed (before college) but I think it's better - the impetus is on the student to go that extra mile and join the Math teams etc. or just not go to school and join a gang. It's a very good system provided that you have a good family background etc. I don't think US schooling is the problem at all. I think it's something else in your society - bad social welfare system and in general inadequate opportunities for the poor. Anyway, that's how I see it. Oh, also too much focus on American History andnot enough on Global history (not nearly enough). The U.S is the most powerfull country in the world - in a sense the mother country. It has a responsibility to teach students the ancestry of all of it's people ( good for race relations and nation relations on an external level) . Better not to focus too much on Cowboys and Indians - How many Native American Indians are there in the U.S as a proportion of the population??

    I wish I could write this down and send it off to a US senator or something but my country has it's own issues. I guess I just don't have the time..

    Sorry, I also want to pont out that American kids in my opinion are often more well rounded at youth. The problem is they just don't really do a really advanced level of Maths... and I don't think there's enough focus on writing your own answers and learning in the U.S. Once Americans reach college/University though, I would say they have among the best courses in the world..but it comes at an unbelieveable cost...

    It's not just that. It's really the WAY in which Russia teaches Math. While young kids in American high schools are learning Civics studies etc. Russian kids are already foing advanced Maths.

    "What cool stuff comes out of OpenCores? How about Java on a chip? [jopdesign.com]"

    Hmm, ok, lets make an architecture that is very similar to a stack based VM. What the !

    You can't lead a horse to water but you can lead water to a horse??? Thats how it sounds to me. I have to be honest, I was creative enough to come up with this idea, and I'm sure countless geeks were. So why has it not been done. There's just really no need for this. Java is just fine without this. It can generate native code for the architecture better every year. I really do believe this is like trying to "lead a water to a horse"..! haha. sorry, just the way I feel

    Game tester?

    I don't know. I used to work for a leading Games publisher only recently. The games testers love their job but the lead tester hated it.

    The promotional opportunities are a bit bleak. Besides, games publishers use their employess like toilet roll because they know there are always young people willing to play games for a living... Demand outweighs Supply in this stressfulll world..
