Sun Turns to Lasers to Speed Up Computer Chips
alphadogg writes to mention that Sun is attempting to move from the typical design of multiple small chips back to a unified single-wafer design. "The company is announcing today a $44 million contract from the Pentagon to explore replacing the wires between computer chips with laser beams. The technology, part of a field of computer science known as silicon photonics, would eradicate the most daunting bottleneck facing today's supercomputer designers: moving information rapidly to solve problems that require hundreds or thousands of processors."

Hey Commander Asshole!! Do you have any fucking clue what the hell you're doing?!? When are you going to realize that this new discussion system just doesn't fucking work?!? It's bad enough I have to spend half a fucking day trying to retrieve comments, but now about 50% show a few lines from the comment and abruptly end with "loading . . .". But here's the catch - THEY NEVER FUCKING LOAD!! So, in order to read these comments, I have to click on the comment header. Then, when I click on the Back button, I GET TO START ALL OVER WITH THE COMMENTS RETRIEVAL PROCESS, FOR THE SAME FUCKING COMMENTS I ALREADY RETRIEVED!!! If you don't want me script-flooding your site, then ya gotta come up with a better solution. Oh, and test it before you implement it. Oh, yeah, another thing, GIVE PEOPLE THE FUCKING OPTION TO TURN IT OFF!!. Don't pull this Micro$oft bullshit by considering you user base beta testers. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF FUCKING IDIOT, OR WHAT TACO?!?!?!? Come on. Let's get with the program.
