Stanford, IBM Team To Explore Spintronics

saxylife writes "NYTimes and various other media are carrying a story on the latest venture between IBM and Stanford," which will concentrate on spintronics, in other words, controlling "the magnetic orientation of atoms to store data. It's supposed to ease the pressure of hitting the barrier of Moore's law."

Maybe it's because they feel that people deserve karma for all positive moderations, including funny, and they are acting on that belief.

I saw a sig recently suggesting that instead of modding things funny, people should mod things underrated, until the "broken" moderation system is fixed. Well frankly, the very idea of the slashdot crew ever fixing the moderation system is utterly hilarious to me, but it's still a pretty good idea.

Why should providing humor be any less valuable than providing insight or information? Laughter is, or at least should be, an integral part of life.
