DARPA Looks Beyond Moore's Law

Posted by timothy on from the and-around-and-through dept.

ddtstudio writes "DARPA (the folks who brought you the Internet) is, according to eWeek, looking more than ten years down the road when, they say, chip makers are going to have to have totally new chip fabrication technologies. Quantum gates? Indium Phosphide? Let's keep in mind that Moore's Law was more an observation than a predictive law of nature, despite how people treat it that way."

  2. WHY DUBYA WILL PREVAIL by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Dubya will never be held accountable because he makes his primitive followers feel proud. Face it:

    • Liberating poor countries from their oil is cool. It makes citizens with a low self-esteem feel like THEY PERSONALLY rule the world.
    • Firing a few hundred missiles from a safe distance is very heroic.
    • All of the soldiers who killed their own comrades and allies were heroes.
    • That blonde chick who failed her mission because she was too dumb to find her way is definitely a hero.
    • You don't need to be worth something to be accepted. You just need to wave a flag and shout "God bless America!"
    • Every failure can be a hero in Bush's America!
    • Seeing Dubya in a flight suit on board a carrier makes republicans shoot their load in seconds!
    And as long as all of the above is true, the lies will go on.
