What is Debug/Checked Build in MSDN Downloads of Windows
The debug/checked build contains binaries with additional debug information,
assertions, trace messages, and no compiler optimizations. This version is only
meant to be used to debug your applications or diagnose system problems, often
with a kernel debugger. It is not meant for normal use since it is substantially
slower than the retail builds.

Drawing circles (and lines, triangles, squares, octagons, etc) with HTML5
<!DOCTYPE html>

Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.

Reviewing Optical Lithography since 1995
Optical lithography has been extended to feature sizes below 50 nm using the 193 nm ArF excimer laser and liquid immersion techniques. Also termed immersion lithography, this enables the use of optics with numerical apertures exceeding 1.0. The liquid used is typically ultra-pure, deionised water, which provides for a refractive index above that of the usual air gap between the lens and the wafer surface. The water is continually circulated to eliminate thermally-induced distortions. Water will only allow NA's of up to ~1.4, but materials with higher refractive indices will allow the effective NA to be increased further.-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photolithography
Experimental tools using the 157 nm wavelength from the F2 excimer laser in a manner similar to current exposure systems have been built. These were once targeted to succeed 193 nm lithography at the 65 nm feature size node but have now all but been eliminated by the introduction of immersion lithography. This was due to persistent technical problems with the 157 nm technology and economic considerations that provided strong incentives for the continued use of 193 nm excimer laser lithography technology. High-index immersion lithography is the newest extension of 193 nm lithography to be considered. In 2006, features less than 30 nm were demonstrated by IBM using this technique
