Yes, Now I can find a place to gripe. Give it a rest people, and Seti extras. I am inundated constantly for money which I do not have now or later. I can easily delete the jobs that I have running now that are eating up my cpu cycles. I am only responding in kind to to your appeals. Please don't give me heartburn.

And we thought 45nm was amazing...
Atom Transistor to speed up computers | Taking the quantum leap

Excerpt:
"An international team of scientists have created a tiny transistor that could one day help quantum computers process impossibly large amounts of information.
The researchers are the first to make a transistor's electrical current pass though a single atom in a controllable way, another step towards the quantum computer chip." - ABC

So I'm assuming this constitutes Moore's Law being broken once again, when they become viable enough to be cost-effectively placed on to circuit?

And it looks like they are using the big bad semiconductor industry monster known as "Quantum tunneling" to their advantage.

I hope Moore's Law never ends...

- Luke.

The will isn't there to do this, not on earth anyway.

If we devoted the resources spent on worldwide military over the last few decades to space exploration, we would have an underground city on Mars by now, maybe even outposts on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Maybe WE were colonised billions of years ago, naturally, by micro organisms, Panspermia, Contaminated by bits of a planet blasted to pieces by it's Sun going nova.

In Finnish version it clearly says "älä tapa" which means "do not kill". "do not murder" would be "älä murhaa". Don't blame me, if they teach us wrong in the rippikoulu (Confirmation).

Your logic is basically saying that shooting/killing random people is not wrong, because it is not murdering people.

No wonder there are still wars, if majority of people think like that...

PS. I am a scientist, who believes in the String theory. I'm not interested in politics or religions. I'm a modern person and I have read enough of the modern Finnish Bible.

What do you think of these:

?

A little over my $50 budget (by about 10 times) and I wouldn’t have many opportunities to wear them, wow, they sure are pretty.

So, do I buy new shoes on Dec 26th, or do I donate $50 to SETI? That is up to you. If at least $1000 in new donations to SETI are posted here before the 26th, I donate. If not, hehehe, I go shoe shopping!

Hitler and the execution of Pekurinen predates the Council of Europe's prohibition of the death penalty in all circumstances.

Pekurinen was first and foremost a conscientious objector. He would have been a coward to have forsaken his beliefs, that he did not do this even when faced with execution demonstrates that he was no such thing. As for being a traitor, I've found no evidence that he directly provided aid or assistance to the enemies of Finland, perhaps you could direct me to some.

When one reaches the end of reasoned argument, there's always "It's in our nature". It may be in your nature to be a dictator and fight wars, but you do not speak for me.

While I fully believe in the responsibility of the state to step in and regulate matters of national economic importance, does this responsibility include stepping into the personal lifestyle choices made by citizens?

...

The question is simple: Does the state have the right, or the responsibility to intervene at the level of personal choice where no harm is being done to anyone else?
