I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking

Whoda thunk it? Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a high-temperature superconductor using Scotch tape[^]! This could lead to new advances in quantum computing, they claim.

Oh great, now the girlfriend is going to want superconductive presents. :rolleyes:
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

High temperature is a relative term. In canadia the average temp is like -150C so ...
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

I have not and I won't vote this post Zac, but truly, those big white letters on that background make my eyes to desire to jump from my head and commit suicide...

What an amazing product. Another fun use is producing x-rays with it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Tape#X-rays[^]

Hey, I can do amazing weird things without tape after a little Scotch.

Indeed! I'm glad they looked naysayers in the eye and stuck by their principles. (Nice to have you back.) :) /ravi

I'm sure they rewarded themselves with a little Scotch after their findings.
