...once sluggish South Carolina economy is high-tech, global and in a hurry today, thanks in part to what Hollings has done during his 50 years of "politickin'." But the shiny new offices outside of Greenville are filling with voters who prefer Republican promises of anti-regulation and tax cuts. Inglis is their man, representing part of the heavily Christian "upstate" region that has most benefited from the boom...
...gifts to the party to more than $400,000 in the 1997-98 election cycle. Coincidentally, about that time, 10 Republican Senators signed a "Dear Colleague" letter criticizing the CLINTON Administration for subjecting the software industry to "needless regulation through overzealous enforcement of antitrust" laws. "We must protect our high-tech industry's freedom to innovate," said the Oct. 12 letter, copying Microsoft's p.r. machine practically verbatim. While the letter was circulating, CEO BILL GATES appeared in North Carolina with one of his most vocal Senate defenders, LAUCH FAIRCLOTH, who is locked in a squeaker of a race. Gates...
...smaller, cozier ones. Eachof these new classrooms are wired to the hilt withaudiovisual technology. Wall-mounted speakers,permanent video projectors and fully-automatedscreens make showing videos a simple process.Simple, that is, except for the fact that theinner walls of each classroom is made of glass.So, in spite of the high-tech, fully automaticblackout window shades, light from the hallwaycannot be blocked and provides enough glare torender the movie screen nearly unwatchable.Perhaps the architect momentarily forgot that hewas designing an academic building rather than adesign showcase. Also, the video projectors arepermanently fixed in each of the classrooms,prompting some...

More specifically, 28-geared high-tech ultra-light mountain bikes with front and rear shocks and tires with treads an inch deep. Astride this machine of terror rides the Harvard student. We all know how mild-mannered and bookish Harvard students usually are, but on top of these behemoths they become pilots of destruction. I glance behind me in apprehension, and find a bike-riding Harvardian screaming down the narrow Yard paths, no doubt late for his or her "Sex" section. They...
...however, the only thing he does. Last February Torvalds moved his family from Finland to Silicon Valley. He now pulls down a six-figure salary as a full-time programmer for Transmeta Corp., a top-secret, high-tech start-up backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The combination of Allen and Torvalds has fueled wild speculation about what Transmeta might be up to in its Santa Clara, Calif., skunk works. Is it building a new microprocessor that will compete with Intel's x86 chip set? Is it using, as some seem to believe, technology borrowed from visiting aliens...
