--I have to wonder what the long-term effects of this process could be. Say they start using this to make paint; what happens 20 years down the road, or when the paint gets worn or damaged?
--Remember, they used to use ASBESTOS as building material.
--Picture the scene from the movie "Gremlins 2" where the Electric Gremlin is trapped in the phone system with his hands over his ears, and screaming his little head off...
--Shoot, I wanna be the Elevator Operator! Then you get to pass out oxygen masks, food supplies... Each one of these cars better be a self-contained living environment, some people could get stuck for a LONG time...
--I wonder what the contingency plan for a stuck space elevator would be?
--I'm worried that if convicted and found guilty, this will give "legitimacy" (or at least the "feel" of it) to the DMCA, which is what the lawyers want.
--BTW, if the DMCA is *repealed* does that mean that they will then have to be set free??
The old DOS "Shadow Warrior" game had a nice little cheat code called "winpachinko" that would give you free items from every p. machine.:)
Still some good quotable stuff from that game, and (strangely enough) I actually enjoyed the 2 paperback books they published (fiction) based on the game!
--Also keep in mind that I used the PC for about AN HOUR after it started overheating, before noticing the problem; the diff may be the fact that it's a Duron. Faster, more "modern" AMD Athlons would have fried in about 2 SECONDS with no cooling.
--If SBC buys DirecTV, I will cancel my subscription. SBC service SUCKS. (The Bell breakup was supposed to FOSTER competition and breakup the monopoly, remember?!)
--Seriously, I lived w/o TV for 2 years, I can do it again.
>>Self shutdown - if the heatsink falls off an Intel processor, it throttles itself down until it stops, if required, so that it doesn't burn, whereas an AMD chip just burns. >>Less heat - this is a major issue in a datacenter
--My AMD Duron 900MHz had its cooling fan STOP once. I continued using the PC for about an hour, then smelled something funny. Shutdown, reactivated the cooling fan, and I'm still using the PC right now for this post.
--However, if it had been 1GHz or better, I think the chip would have fried...
--The truth will out once it goes to video. Most of the comments I'm reading on this article proves once again that the world is full of mean people.
--If you guys think you can do better, go out and make your own movie. I *liked* Nemesis. Yes the Trek universe has its problems right now, and arguably the plots need more work (no more time travel, people need to be in SERIOUS danger, physics need to be more believable, etc) but come on - Nemesis was enjoyable to watch.

Moderators on crack, parent post is NOT offtopic!!
--True. I'd rather use Linux to host multiple Win sessions, since Linux is MUCH more stable.
*WHAT* did you say about my mutha??!!

--IIRC, SF author Charles Sheffield also placed his space elevator in Australia.
