    no ones made a porn of that happening though, so that logical barrier must first be overcome or computers will explode trying to analyze it

    Graphene IS doped in experiements, and interesting and useful properties have been found. look up "doped graphene" in google and see the cool stuff that comes up.

    nonsense, you just think you were doing oo development. C structures with pointers to functions aren't really objects, sorry.

    microsoft inactivates your ability to get patches that you paid for just because you changed a hard disk. sometimes the indian that answers the phone argues with you about restoring that access.

    meanwhile, in the land of free software, upgrading to new OS and apps is free. so you complain that they don't support a years old version, yet you should just upgrade.

    quit yer whining.

  13. Re: There are still contingency plans on Plan C: The Cold War Plan Which Would Have Brought the US Under Martial Law · · Score: 1

    Examples of flammables including soaked flaming blankets used to stop and then incapacitate tanks are all over history of war, from Spanish War (writings of Tom Wintringham) to Finnish Winter War and World War II etc.

    Tom Wintringham wrote of technique of using rifle or shotgun fire to make tank crew close all the hatches, then men could rush it out of reach of its guns to either jam stout iron rod in tracks or to apply the flammables such as molotovs or soaked blankets. That's when fuel soaked tire slices (not his technique) could be jammed into tracks, then more tires throw on later when the conflagration gets going.

    In WW II, your Marine predecessors used device to kill tanks that was diesel fuel with a self-igniting system, tube of nitric acid with sodium, many of those applied did all kinds of neat things like making internal fuel and ammo cook off

    You are confused, those early examples found in Pakistan for instance were NOT widespread and thus not the adoption of writing by mankind. Those are examples of an idea that was tried and then lost again.

  16. Confused Summary on Graphene: Reversible Method of Magnetic Doping Paves Way For Semiconductor Use · · Score: 3, Informative

    Graphene might be used in semiconductor devices whether magnetized or not; being able to magnetize it opens possibilities of making some types of devices but in no way is a prerequisite for practical applications of graphene in computers, semiconductors, etc.

    Your imaginings are silly, that's not how the tire trick is done, nor how tank traps implemented. Another branch of the armed service has put more thought into the matter....

    You need to study up on the history of technology and civilization, steady stream of advances were made over thousands of years not hundreds, including the widespread use of written language four thousand years ago.

    you are silly. tanks can be taken out with nothing more than pile of burning tires, when it gets too hot for the occupants, they will die. tanks can be trapped in pits, or the machinery of their tracks jammed. many, many ways to take out a tank without explosives or heavy weapons.
