CGI? You got to be kidding. You should take a look at J2EE, then maybe you can attract and retain some talented programmers.

On: Quantum Evolution Poses Challenge to Darwinism

Now I'm no creationist, but it seems clear to me (always has) that there's more going on than simple *chance* when it comes to evolution. Of course there is. It's called "Natural Selection". Go read a bit of Richard Dawkins. It'll become all clear to you.

what this means

On: Evidence for a Flat Universe?

What this means is that the universe is going to expand forever, so there is no big crunch, there is no "Omega Point", and there is no God.

Of course, you have to believe in Frank Tipler first to draw that conclusion.

David Deutsch's The Fabric of Reality

On: Time Doesn't Exist

Hasn't anyone read that book? All this stuff is explained in detail, and IMHO, quite satisfactorily.

You can buy the book from amazon.

On: Linux Based Stereo Components

You may want to take a look at the Hoontech 4D Wave NX card, which uses the trident chipset of the same name. Trident has released a GPL'd driver, so it should work "out of the box" with ALSA ( Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). The Hoontech card has S/PDIF out (optical & coaxial). You can buy it from http://www.audiencedp.com for $47 plus $5 S&H (I did). You can also try to buy direct from Hoontech, but I am not sure how they handle the oversea shippings (unless you live in Korea :).

Well, this thing is made by Logitech. That's why it's called *Logitech* WingMan Force Feedback Mouse. See http://www.feeltheweb.com for more hypes.
