*Who is Irwin Jacobs?* It would take quite a few billion bytes to be complete, but here's some background:http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12327324 An excerpt < Dec. 17, 1999 (Electronic Buyers News - CMP via COMTEX) -- It was the early 1950s when Irwin Jacobs' high school adviser told him there was "no future" in science and engineering. So young Jacobs set off for Cornell to major in hotel administration. Today, however, you won't find Jacobs wandering the halls of a Holiday Inn. Instead, he sits atop the powerhouse he co-founded in 1985, Qualcomm Inc. The San Diego company has parlayed its digital wireless CDMA technology, products, and services into fiscal 1999 revenue of $3.9 billion on pro forma net income of $525 million, and Qualcomm has catapulted to No. 16 on Fortune's list of the 100 fastest-growing U.S. companies.> The report says that he's reading "The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory" by Brian Greene amazon.com This should be fun! Qualcomm will soon be teleporting people from anywhere to anywhere, including to the restaurant at the end of the universe, via superstrings with quarkian and graviton inversion {Mq Graviton Spin Reversal System [TM] Patent Pending}. No more tightly cramped airline seats, interminable queues, high costs, intrusive customs and security checks, bureaucratic bullies and the odd 'Inshallah' as the pilot points the plane to the ground or the USA or Russian 'defence' systems blast another jumbo jet from the air. Mqurice PS: Inshallah muslimsonline.com They are stretching a point that there was peace brought to hearts! <Ayah of the Week "Be informed that recounting the name of Allah will bring peace to your hearts." (Ar-Raad:28)> I don't want to be on any planes where the pilot is recounting the name of Allah! They can do that after they have landed safely.
