Let's all just hope that the deal goes sour and the two titans start digging at each other's heels. Maybe there are people here who could help with that.
you assume nano will be organized just the same as the computers you're used to. BOFN: nano don't need silicon. Something like babbage's machines would work just as well on the nanoscale, except you could stuff lots of 'em on a pinhead, make them compute/execute their own evolution. And no 'lectricity needed either. Van der Waals force, tunneling other various quantum effects could do all the "now push electron" work if you don't like mechanical calculators. Speaking of quantum effects...ever thought of that as a source of computing power for nano? Mataglap will happen.
rtfa! they proved very toxic (i.e. caused extensive damage) when washed through said mieces' lungs. In layman's terms, this means mieces were drowned in a liquid which contained nanotubes among other things, and then were found to die from this treatment, and their lungs found to exhibit massive trauma in the post-mortem. Now how scientific is that?
Hould tell you a lot about the potential use of the internet media. I know that movie under a slightly different name: "Too stoopid to follow the river". The analogy with the Dean campaign stands, dunnit?

methinks you aren't aware of the differrences between Aspergers and "functional" autism. One of the things Aspergers sufferers cannot is divining other people's hidden agendas. Therefore they learn early enough that there is much more pain than pleasure for them in interacting w/ other humans, whether in a mediated or a direct fashion.
I deal with journos quite often in my line of work.
You can bet your last 2c they have paid the man. Only they payed for an article, not the whole person. Journos w/out morals reap a lot of money and advantages from such deals. Some are subtle, some aren't.
Also, The MyDoom virus represents a new level of sophistication in soc-eng, a field of expertise restricted, alas, to non-geeks.
You make a fine point, sir or lady. The end result, if spammers choose to adopt this technique, might just be the ultimate tool in targeted advertising, brought into being by the people who are supposedly doing the exact opposite, i.e. sp*m. Let us hope the benefits of Mr. Graham-Cumming's research are reaped as soon as possible by the people who need to use them to make a buck. That way, I might stop receiving Viagra ads, when what I really need is cheap webhosting.
"A warm, fuzzy feeling" is what kept Mikko Hypponen fed during the years he spent developing F-Prot into a state-of-the-art antivirus. It was damn good to begin with, mind you.

Methinks the *best-designed* game ever and overall is Elite, indeed. There are though other strong contenders for the "best game ever" title.
What messrs Bell and Braben did was to code an innovative and thoughtful game , rather than just another bloat, full of eye-candy that works almost half of the time.
When I say innovative, think vector graphics and a state-of the art economic model inside 64k of eight bit to the byte RAM , using a crappy instruction set on a 3MHz processor.
Which comes to my point: Game designers need to be more than under-educated 19yr olds with highscool degrees in C++ programming and a penchant for violence. I'd rather see the likes of Braben and Tresham designing games again than a new edition of Half-Life, or whatever.
There's a much easier way to reduce drag through water. It's called supercavitation and basically involves turning liquid water to gaseous (i.e. steam, or fog, on a very thin front on the leading edge of an object. Ever heard of the "Skhval" torpedo?
Also, you don't move the torch. You control the plasma/ionised gas flow over the wing's edge, using good ol' tried-and tested rules of aerodynamics.
Oh Lordy dearie! Next in line: IPods get enlisted into the drive to Mars.
On a more serious note, I'm sick and tired of the Apple PR machine. Kudos to whoever's behind it, but please, stop it already. I'm sure that by this time *everybody* knows the IPod is the next best thing after the mouse.
Plasma torches were experimented on for other reasons too. At some point, they were seen as an effective way to reduce drag at supersonic speeds by ionising the air directly in front of the aircraft, to make it less dense. The MiG 25 was even fitted with a prototype mod to check the theory. Dunno what happened to the test craft. Oh, and btw... If you can't find something with Google it doesn't mean it ain't there.

soo.... you read the book, or did you just cut and paste its beginning? Don't see many literati in my neck of the woods, so i'm asking...

Do NOT fsck with The Mouse. It has bigger balls than most anything on this planet. Many, many politicos and execs have learned this the hard way.

You must know that one of the entropy sources for the linux system entropy pool is keystroke time logging. Any thoughts on that?

Have to say this...
Think about it... a Beowulf cluster of humans!
