If you truly didn't make it through the first episode of Firefly, you may want to consider giving the series another chance. Yes, there are a lot of overbearing Western elements, but I really thought it was one of the more enjoyable shows I've seen. It's a relatively small commitment of time given there are just 14 episodes as well.

I know this is Slashdot, but at least give it a full episode before you condemn it. I've yet to encounter someone who gave the show a chance and didn't thoroughly enjoy it after getting into the first few episodes.

I also must admit I find your acceptance of Insurrection disturbing. There hasn't been a memorable Trek movie since First Contact, and the complete disregard for the story and character arcs from DS9 is downright criminal in the face of the tripe that has been trotted out under the Star Trek banner since that series' demise.

IBM Creates Ring Oscillator on a Single Nanotube 159

deeptrace writes "IBM has combined CMOS circuitry and a single carbon nanotube to implement a 5 stage ring oscillator. Even though the oscillator runs at just 52 MHz, they expect that it could reach the GHz range with improvements. The frequency of the current oscillator was higher than previous circuits using multiple nanotubes. IBM describes the achievement in the paper "Integrated Logic Circuit Assembled on a Single Carbon Nanotube" to be published this week in the journal Science."
