This is not to say that Einstein wasn't insightful
At first, he was a troll. Then he became interesting. But he was very underrated. His theories were all flamebait. But he was very informative. And insightful. Once in a while, funny. And now he's getting overrated?
are the transparent orange eyeglasses like the ones Vegeta used in DragonBall-Z. They look WAY BETTER than the eyebud. (And that's about the only thing worth watching in DBZ lol)
The transition to new nanotechnology techniques could occur around 2015, when chip makers will have exhausted their ability to shrink the wires and switches
Shrinking the wires can ALREADY be done with carbon nanotubes. Already some of them are being used for heat dissipation in audio chips.
So, IMHO, it'll be more or less like this:
1) Carbon nanotubes will replace copper wires in CPU's, disminishing the required operational voltage and current leakage.
2) "Conventional" technologies used today (like multigate transistors) will be optimized for nanotube wires.
3) The first nanotube transistors will appear a couple of years after 2) is developed.
4) As this technology is improved, one day we'll be able to use spintronic or optical transistors.
Somewhere in the middle of these, 3D-layered chips and massively-parallel computing will be developed. Oh yes, don't forget about the system-in-a-chip.
A (redudant - read my past posts on the subject) glimpse into the future: In 20 or 30 years our computers will be smaller than a Nintendo gamecube. No floppy disks, just flash (or magnetic?) memory cards and solid-state HDs. PCI bus will be cast into oblivion, when the new add-on cards fit in a PS2 memory stick. Small future, indeed.
Question, why did you submit the lemmings story as bonsai kitten? (I liked the Lemmings game, btw... altho reading that lemmings story made me feel bad about the poor rodents)
Now all we need is a superstrong protective layer, a pursuit mode, and cool red lights on the front!

Why Use GTK+?

Um, you mean like this C# code?
DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Quit without saving?", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel);
...
But one thing that definitely helped is that, for much of GUI history, it's been easier to write GUI code for Windows than for almost any other platform.
Um, perhaps you meant something like this cross-platform C++ (wxWidgets) code?
int result = wxMessageBox("Quit without saving?", "", wxYES_NO | wxCANCEL);
Using wxWidgets isn't that hard, it's very similar to MFC, and it's used in many F/OSS apps, like ABC bittorrent client, Shareaza and FileZilla.
In a competition, having a dinner with your rivals to know them better, is desireable - even exciting. But this dinner was organized by a journalist - they couldn't possibly refuse.
don't anonymous comments are supposed NOT to have any validity? I mean, we have Anonymous Coward, and anything said by an AC is generally classified as "troll" or "flamebait". Why bother to sue them?
I mean, for crying out loud, it's like if you go to a bar and say something bad about a company, and it turns out the CIA has the bar all wired and the police is out to get you because something you said while you were drunk. That's what anonimity is about.
If anonimity is broken, then what use is posting as AC?
Certainly these data retention laws defy free speech in the net.
From the link: "A few years ago, a Catholic friend of mine visited a dying relative in the hospital. The old woman had led a good life, but could not see her way to a belief in God. She was not a militant atheist, simply an agnostic, like so many modern people. God, in her view, had not given enough "proof" that He exists. My friend gently tried to argue the point, but to no avail. Finally, she produced the trump card which so often ends these discussions: "But, Jim, evolution has been proved by science. So the Bible can't be true!"
The article goes on to explain how Darwin's theory was formed, and that Darwin's theory is not the only one that could define evolution. Finally, it states (and explains) the Catholic Church's point of view regarding the book of Genesis and Evolution.
I second the motion. Indeed it is a gift from God that kids are now protected from those looneys.
In other words: Just because you claim to follow God, doesn't necessarily mean that God agrees with you. Fundamentalists like those put God's name to shame.

Wow!
how about 3-D cameras?

Just because a few people still develop and play with an outdated, old, and rather crappy system
How funny. Yesterday a cousin of mine was playing "Super Mario Bros" on his GBA.
The title read:
"Malicious Web Pages Can Install Dashboard Widgets". It was about Safari and OS/X, *NOT* about MS-IE.
I suppose that's to play GTA on it, right? :)
..."spintronic"...
:)
Admit it, you made that word up.
No, I didn't

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Don't listen to him, he's a troll-bot. Oh, wait...
You obviously have a defective robot.
Chiiiii?

Um...why? Good products don't need advertisements.

Pardon me, you were saying?
Father: Hey (girl's name) where are you going?
Daughter: With my neighbor, his computer always works.
(Pan to neighbor's computer, he's using firefox)
PunchLine: "Firefox. The web as it was meant to be."
don't anonymous comments are supposed NOT to have any validity?
Man, my grammar check must have failed. I meant to say:
Aren't anonymous comments supposed NOT to have any validity?
Lapsus keyboardus, guys. Sorry.
Wait, are you saying that not everything I read on the internet is true?
:P
Yes, that's what I said.
But I lied

Errr... Last time I checked I was still getting about 50 spam messages a day.
:)
That's why it's a success! Why do you think it's called "CAN" spam?
I have found NO free development tools for the Windows platform that are easy to use and as well thought out as the Visual Studio product line.
What about Codeblocks? It's still in beta, but IMHO it's much better than Dev-C++, and it's GPL.
it is possible that these two ideas don't have to be mutualy exclusive?

did you guys check out the image used for the article?
It looks like the teachers are laughing in the ID guys' faces with this.
