...died last Saturday, I watched as her soccer teammates rallied behind her in support. I looked around and saw person after person just waiting for that moment when Emily might turn around and need a comforting hug or an encouraging squeeze of the hand. I saw tears flow from many who did not even know Matt but were so moved by seeing his sister in pain...
...dropping 300% from the mid-1980s--and remained flat last year, pounded by a wave of delinquencies as consumers maxed out their debt. "The credit-card free-for-all has come back to haunt the industry," says Robert McKinley, president of RAM Research. To stanch the southern flow of profits, card issuers are seeking to edge up their income by retrenching on offers and charging penalties, new fees and higher rates...
...logical solution was to replace the tubes: build a device that performed the same role--storing electrical charges--but that was less temperamental. The device was an electrical "switch" called a transistor, essentially a tiny electrical gate that controlled the flow of electrons that computers needed to do their math. Yet wrangling infinitesimally small electrons into place demanded phenomenally pure chemical surfaces. In the 1950s and '60s this was an act of near alchemy, certainly beyond the capabilities of most scientists. What the world needed was a reliable base for these circuits. What would...
Each transistor on the surface of a silicon chip acts as a switch that can open or close a gate. Computers process information by manipulating sequences of opened and closed gates. A positive charge applied to the gate attracts electrons, allowing current to flow across the gap from the source to the drain. A negative charge stops the current and closes the gate...
CHICAGO: The government may be trying to curb the flow of weapons of war into the hands of criminals, but a Chicago Tribune expose has found that an officially sanctioned program may be inadvertently supplying large numbers of infantry rifles to anyone...
