Chaotic Computing In Practice

Posted by Hemos on from the using-the-machines dept.

codyhess writes "The Economist published a great article detailing efforts to use Chaos in computing - "Speaking at the American Physical Society's annual March conference, William Ditto of the University of Florida told of his efforts to create a 'chaotic computer'." Dr. Ditto can create standard logic gates (AND, OR, etc) that output a value according the their chaotic threshhold. Different logic operations can be performed by simply changing the threshhold, making an incredibly flexible computer that can perfom different functions instantaneously."

    Right when I opened up Slashdot today I see a HUGE banner ad for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Why the hell is Slashdot doing this?
