the theories behind an anti-matter engine are quite stable, bring matter and anti-matter together, and boom, energetic explosion. the explosion itself can probably be controlled with modern day technology, and harnessed as a sound energy source. the major obstacle behind this type engine is a)obtaining/creating the antimatter, and b)storing/confining the antimatter until it is used.
I would think that deregulation would work against something like this happening on such a large scale. Shuoldn't deregulation cause a larger number of smaller grids to be created, which when they fail would cause more of a rolling blackout then a single large area one. of course thats just my 2 cents.
interesting...never got to see the stuff in action (which i guess is a good thing for the power company i worked for), but the window chamber on the side of the container looked like the stuff inside was dark blue.
the "magic" smoke is probably Sulfur Hexafluoride, used in many parts of power equipment, especially large (bigger than you and me combined) circuit breakers. They shoot the stuff into the space between the freshly broken circuit to keep it from oxidizing the actual breaker itself and starting a very large explosion and fire.
i've also heard of a town in japan (i think it was japan at least) called Usa, and they made items that said made in USA on them, that is until someone in the US Trade office realized this and forbid it anymore.
It is meant that it COULD NOT be built in a sweatshop in china, since they are all under American control, whereas imported labor in the US is more readily available to the chinese.

I would worry more about Craig Thomas, the guy who wrote the book that the movie is based on (read the book if you get a chance)
how are you supposed to do the crossword puzzle in the Times? with a dry erase pen or something?
if they can get that much power out of molson, just imagine what a pint of guinness would do...

well, i couldn't find any other use for scroll lock or its two neighbors, so i remapped them to be volume controls for my soundcard.
now you can wear a white shirt to eat spaghetti, and leave with a spaghetti sauce colored shirt...maybe italian food WILL have a second coming...
This is a great sign that not all kids and young adults have weak or corrupt minds.
Just wait until he reads his name on slashdot.
