    What a surprise, computer made by communist China has a kill switch.

    Re: Remote kill switch
    The entire business world appears to have been infected with the kind of copyright insanity that has completely taken over the music industry. I see a day that we won’t be able to buy anything without a copyright czar coming to live with us to keep us from violating their fantasies.

    Is the mouse dead?
    I can’t believe Microsoft and (from their TV ads) HP really believe people will spend all day touching their screens instead of mouse and keyboard. Yeah, that’s just what I want to do — sit there with my arm out all day…

    It’s amazing to me how carbon and it’s various atomic structures are revolutionizing so many basic materials.

    These two most recent carbon structures graphene (lattice) and nanotubes (tubes)are destined to be miracle foundation materials. It is worth noting that these two magical structures came about when Obama was sent to earth. Change is coming.

    # 5 Dallas said, in part:

    “It’s amazing to me how carbon and it’s various atomic structures are revolutionizing so many basic materials.

    These two most recent carbon structures graphene (lattice) and nanotubes (tubes)are destined to be miracle foundation materials…”

    I guess this means one day we will all be able to say in complete truthfulness, “It’s a series of tubes!”

    Graphene, a single-atom thick sheet of carbon. Useful for small stuff, it can be “doped” with semiconductor material to create micro-circuits with spooky thin-film quantum electro-hydrodynamic behavior. It can be used to make ultra-efficient ultra capacitors. It can be used to stop hydrogen gas leakage, no atoms can pass through it. More applications are coming.

    #8 Yes, indeed. You noticed too?
    Glad you finally BELIEVE!

    Happy Thanksgiving.
