HP's Crossbar Latch... Next-Gen Transistor?
moojin writes "CNN.com reports that "in a paper published in Tuesday's Journal of Applied Physics, HP said three members of its Quantum Science Research group propose and demonstrate a "crossbar latch," which provides the signal restoration and inversion required for general computing without the need for transistors.""
Funny? If by "funny" you mean "crazy", then yes. You write that as if you actually believe it. Based on one man's poorly-worded testimony, and a bunch of documents he claims to have but no one has seen, and a super-transistor thousands of times faster than anything we have now, which, for some odd reason, has never had a commercial debut. I mean, there's paranoid, and then there's just gullible. By the way, Mulder called, and he'd like you to help him with funding some research on the Black Oil, so if you could please send all your money to a Pay Pal account I specify, we'll have a hyperdrive working by the end of the week, based on the 10,000 year old martian schematics
WTF are you talking about? I pay $50/month for cable internet service which I think is 4 Mpbs.
Maybe your problem is you live too far away from civilization for anyone to bother providing you high-speed access. The answer is simple: MOVE!!!
There's a reason most people live in cities.
Far too much money in this country (USA) is wasted subsidizing services for people who choose to live in rural areas.
