The symbols are only dots when inactivated, when the gate is activated and dialing, the symbols light up and form a spinning track made of light, which should look like the first pic of the Atlantis gate up there, the one that was just concept art.

Chi, to answer the question about power, the gate system most likely uses either stored energy in capacitor-like crystals. These crystals could possibly be charged by solar or more likely geothermal energy. But, since the Antarctica gate was so low on power, it had either become disconnected form it's power source, or the capacitor theory is correct and it had a depleated charge.
The SGC gate is powered by good old fashioned electricity. That's why Hammond made the comment that it cost 7 Billion dollars a year just to turn on the lights.

how cool is that though! I mean, some dudes just say one day! "come on chaps, lets move this city, ohh, i dunno, another galaxy ?". How cool I cant wait for atlantis to start!
btw, are we assuming the wraith are pure evil? from what i have read they live off life, and so need other races to survive. Sound sliek a case of survival to me, not being evil. Maybe soon ill be proved wrong

It made me think of a computer game I used to play - Eye of the Beholder. You had to travel through doorways and portals and things, and every now and then on reaching a new level everything was sort of the same but different. When I saw the new gate in Rising I thought "Hey! New Level!"

Holy cow! You may not be able to find a mini replica of the gate to sit on your computer, but look what I found online for sale....

Have you ever had the urge just to go to the home depot and construct your own replica gate? The perfect spot for mine will be right at the egde of my diving board into the swimming pool. Or, maybe I should just write the producers of "Monster House" to come and construct me a "Stargate House".
