"This transistor will be three magnitudes of order smaller than the gigabit limit for MOS as predicted by Moore's Law."
Could someone please tell me what a "magnitude of order" is?
An order of magnitude would be equivalent in this context to a "power of 10", however, a magnitude of order seems more like a description of the Supreme Court.
LabVIEW is an expensive package ($1995.00 USD), but for high end systems, it is undoubtedly the best. I have used it as both an employee and a customer of National Instruments, and I have found it to be quite useful for reducing development time and cost in the long run.
Run time licenses are free, and there are thousands of drivers for different types of hardware, some of which would be useful for this wireless data acquisition application. Of course, the FieldPoint system that another NI employee mentioned above is designed to be controlled easily with LabVIEW.
Finally, though LabVIEW is primarily used on the Win32 platform, most of its features are available on other OSes, including Linux.
Once the fiber is laid down, they may not ever have to upgrade it, since the fiber provides more bandwidth than a typical group of home users will need in the foreseeable future. They save money in the long run on maintenance costs.
...be bad in the right way. If, for example, the most significant bit of the addressing bus were damaged, you would only have access to half of the chip's memory at a maximum.
To fix this problem, you'd have to use 2 "half-working" chips to get the same amount of memory that 1 of the non-damaged ones would have provided.
It seems that buying several damaged chips to make up for the one non-damaged chip would not be very cost effective in the long run.

It'll be interesting to see how both the console version of the game, and the online version deal with expansion and customization...
Oh great, now I have to figure out how to build and live in a virtual house using nothing but csh.
>> Well, maybe not an order of magnitude, maybe only a factor of two.
But wait! Base 2 offers you both the order of magnitude AND the factor of two!
It's the genius of the AND.
How did this guy get to be an anonymous "submitter"? Was he not as cowardly as the others who've anonymously submitted in the past?
As a layman, I would have thought that all galaxies would be moving generally away from one another.
I love the fish's translation of this word:
Nobelpreistraeger .
I hope that, like Albert Einstein, I can be a Nobelpreistraeger, too.

He thinks it's a good idea, but he points out several key issues that differentiate free hardware from free software.
That would have been proactively taking steps to avoid the /. effect. (And I wouldn't have had to wait 30 seconds to see the image!)
