With as many stories as I've read in my life, I don't recall this one... I'm 
sure who ever is posting it over on the other SCI-FI list will most likely 
get you an answer. 

Kwan - If you really like Sci-fi, check out Asimov's Science Fiction. I've 
got a subscription (I think good till 2009) and the stories range from bland 
(a few, very rare but some are a bust) to good (many are like this) to 
OMGTISFC [OMG - That is so F cool] (usually one per book which is per 
month). Example of the OMGTISFC was about a vest that moved between Parallel 
Cosmos [Same universe, different version of the time line]. Imagine if you 
did move to another Cosmos where 1) Gates was a waiter and 2) the rubic's 
cube had not been invented. You could stay there and invent something better 
than windows and the rubics cube [make plenty of money]. The kick was, once 
you went to the next cosmo, you can't come back. 

Oh, asimov's URL is www.asimovs.com . They also have "Analog" which is also 
suppose to be sci-fi at www.analogsf.com . 

BTW, the stargate that did something similar to what your asking, I don't 
recall which one episode did that. And did even sounds like how ST-TNG did 
an episode where they could not use warp drive because it was tearing up the 
fabric of space [super far fetched - ugh].
