Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed
holy_calamity writes "Although flash memory that stores each bit on a single nanotube has been tinkered with in the lab for years, it has always been much slower than the devices in use today. A Finnish team has now cracked that, demonstrating single bits of nanotube memory that can be written in just 100 nanoseconds. Existing flash memory takes tens of microseconds."
what will we do when these "tubes" become clogged, and we can't get our email?
meh
That should be faster than anybody would ever need...
That's what she said!
Don't rush me, Sonny. You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
Is this like some sort of scaled down version of the internet?

No, it would be 10^-9 LoCs. You're thinking of deci-internets.

Jay Garrick isn't as fast as Wally West or Barry Allen...
ENIAC was orders of magnitude faster. These guys do 100 nanoseconds/nanotube -> 100 seconds/tube!
Heck call me when a product is availible....at ANY price
Sure. You can order it now for the low low price of $3 billion. Shipping time is estimated at 10 years and 7 days with free standard shipping, or 10 years and 3 days with Express Shipping for $15 extra.

That's a very ineffective use of time. It can take minutes just to make reliable oral contact with a cock that is in the process of fucking, and once achieved this contact is rarely any improvement on the previous status of the cock even in those cases where it is not an uncomfortable hindrance.
This is, of course, assuming that the orifice in question cannot accommodate a human head positioned such that sucking is possible from the inside. In that case, it's really questionable if what's happening can be called "fucking", or if it's really more like thrusting uselessly into a giant gaping void in reality.
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
There is no SI unit for shit, you insensitive clod!
