Self-Assembling Nanocomputers

Posted by timothy on from the pour-yourself-a-desktop dept.

A Semi-Anonymous Coward writes: "According to this article a researcher at Harvard University has developed techniques for self assembly of nanoscale wires that operate without resistance due to a property called ballistic conductivity. He hopes the research will provide an 'end run' around convential top-down circuit designs, allowing much smaller, faster and more energy efficient computers."

    I'd swear this guy was working for (in the cult of) Microsoft, except that if he was, he should be pushing XP and not Win2k. Also, he wouldn't have mentioned the licence restrictions...

    Amazing, a person that does VB for 8 years and thinks he is a kernel hacker, and refers to linux as "the" linux. Some consultant. I'm sure you may have written a few VB scripts to reboot those win2k boxen every day. Meanwhile I have had a webserver that served 1Gb/3days up for over 200+ days (hardware upgrades are a bitch). Smells like someone is spilling some FUD.
