  1. Re:They did on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I owned one;) Actually it was Nokia's first N-series phone. I played mostly java and C64 games with it:)

  2. PIII on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    My first computer was P3. I wend to polytechnics (university level) and I got money from my parents. Computer served me well and few years ago I bought my second computer, Thunderbird. Although I have used my brother's C64 when I was a child mostly for gaming and I loaned my god father's computer (486) for learn programming when I was eighteen. I think it's all most funny how late I really get to together with my own computer. But considering that my girlfriend used computer first time when she was seventeen is hilarious. Now she uses computer better than I.

  3. Re:Accuracy on Faster DNA Testing · · Score: 1

    I have heard that PCR is very accurate for positive control. Negative control is not accurate, so you can easily have negative output if PCR fails. That is why in most cases negative results are reproduced many times, but positive not.

  4. Re:Many similar articles, but not one answers this on The CPU: From Conception to Birth · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know that diamond cutter is used for dicing. Actually have done that personnally. Our gadget will remove about 200nm (width) silicon.

    Actually there was writen that sand is chemically purified to electronic grade silicon, which is pretty much correct. And that electronic grade silicon is melted in a quartz bugget.

    And you should also keep in mind that they have done their research and engineering work already when optimizing their processes.

    If your design is flawless and they have masks. The job to fabricate the chip can be done in two weeks i think.

    Fabricating a chip with already optimized processes should be as easy as printing our design from a printer.

  7. Re:Incomplete testing on AM Radio Waves May Be Harmful? · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    In biological point of view there is ionization radiotion and uninization radiation. High frequency waves do ionizes so they harm human cells, this is fact. In high frequency I mean UV and above. With sunlotion we protect ourselves mostly from UVB radiation.

    Then there is this low frequency radiotion that don't ionize. I think it is controversial that do this kind of radiotion harm human cells.

    Low frequencys heat tissue and can this way harm cells. I have hear that radiation have altered protein production propably due to heat. But ofcourse change in protein production can change things. I actually don't know, i m technical but interested in biological issues. But in my oppinion there must be more studies.

    Theoretical calculation about penetration in human tissue at cell phone frequencys is 3 millimeter, if I remember right. Did the calculation about three years ago. And have heard that cell phone can increase brain temperature 0.1 centigrade.

  8. Re:Only a matter of time I guess... on First Trojan for Windows CE Released · · Score: 1

    Your are right about that people aren't stupid but they just don't think when they press the button.

    Once my friend pressed the button and said "I can't open this attachment. My computer went nuts. Could you open the file from your computer, please."

    I m sure that he doesn't do that again;)

    And yeah, it might be good idea to restrict mail-program to open other than selected programs. At least it sounds good for me.

    I think that washing survival is because of applications such as washing period monitoring and keeping those damn sock pairs together;)

    Of course it would be beneficial to disable the radio transmiter so that no one can scan your RFIDs in public places.
