new scientific discoveries
If by 'geometries' you mean 'scale', then no, that hasn't been the case for like 5 or 10 years. It's called nanotechnology (a subfield of materials science). I'm majoring in it. It's very interesting and useful. Look at graphene: http://images.iop.org/dl/physicsweb/2010/phwv19i11a34.pdf I wasn't talking about nanotechnology, I was talking about conventional lithographic integrated circuits, which is what flash is so far as I know. So feature size is limited to the current process, something like .28 nm at the moment, but obviously they can still use the tunneling effect. That may have something to do with the thickness of vapor deposition, don't know.

I didn't mean quantum mechanics is far fetched, I meant using it at the integrated circuit level. Usually the geometries are too large to see a quantum effect.

You're funny, I asked because I wasn't aware of what you link said, and it seemed like a far-fetched idea.

Well, you can explain how tunneling works to make flash memory.

Age of Decadence
The graphics look pretty good. Hopefully it will come out eventually. At least there should be a self-contained demo with about 15% of the game out soon.

You didn't actually answer my question. In other news, saw this in another forum, this is awesome: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/hi...on-1869187.html

Some cool new finishing animations:

Well, nothing could exist without quantum tunnelling, but are you saying they actually used quantum tunnelling to design it?

Bin Laden is dead
It doesn't matter to them one iota. It matters to their useful idiot enablers in the West.

Libya
Russian army horribly brutalizes even its own new recruits, to say nothing of the enemy. The Russian record in Afghanistan and Chechnya is well known, no matter how much internet trolls try to deny it.

Mass Effect 3
I will no longer be pre-ordering ME3. I now have lost all interest. WHY ARE YOU RUINING BIOWARE EA!!! STOP! EA is just doing what EA does best. Having said that, Bio's been brain dead for some time, it's just that not many people noticed at first.

Libya
I have to think you don't know much about Russian behavior in Chechnya. Yes, US does use deadly force, but only when necessary and always trying to minimize civilian casualties. If you don't believe it, you're not well informed and there's no point of arguing with you.

Bin Laden is dead
They already said he wasn't armed, but somehow "resisted". May be we'll never know the whole story. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharn...-doesnt-add-up/ That article is just a bunch of speculation though, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Seal Team Six appreciation thread
The SEALS have been assigned to deal with Afghanistan, while the Delta force is assigned to Iraq. That way they don't step on each others toes as much.

Bin Laden is dead
It won't make a bit of difference. http://news.yahoo.com/ We shouldn't do anything to appease that scum, it's useless and we demean ourselves. Edit: Alternate link for when the first one changes: http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Osama-bin-La...795fd5c2a43d991

Sometimes national security considerations override legality. Spying is illegal also, yet everyone does it anyway.

Bin Laden is dead
Incredible. Why? Would you prefer it have been mutilated or otherwise dealt with in a manner that would given more ammunition for the radical individuals to toss at America? If not, what you prepose we have done with the corpse? I wasn't going to respond to you because it's pointless, but since you got into it with Greasy, I'll point out the discussion was about celebrating Bin Laden's death, not mutilating his body. As far as what to do with his body, they should've just dumped it into the sea like the dog he was (sorry for insulting dogs). Certainly giving him a little ceremony before that was moronic.

Incredible.

250GB Xbox360 for $200!
Even a better deal now, you also get 1600 MS points ($20 US).

Bin Laden is dead
Could you give a source for this? That would be unfortunate. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_bin_laden

Bin Laden is dead
I wouldn't mind. Apparently the story about whether Bin Laden was resisting or not has changed. At first they said he had a gun, now apparently no. In that case legally they should've captured him, not killed him. Don't think too many people in US care though, I know I don't.

Seal Team Six appreciation thread
I seriously doubt that. What law would we be breaking? The newspapers have obviously been publishing Wikileaks materials for some time now.

Canadian Election
IMO, Canadians very sensibly voted for continued economic well being. Really the Canadian record over the past few years has been quite extraordinary, being able to escape the morass almost every other Western economy sank into.

PC control scheme made me lose interest in the game
KOTOR did not have point and click, unless you were moving towards a targettable object.
