Back before I went pure Linux I had a couple NT machines. My desktop was quite stable. I think my longest uptime run was about 50 days. It was broken when I installed a new disk. I've also had an NT machine that crashed every few days. I think it all really depends on your luck. Even on my workstation I had to avoid certain apps that made my machine unstable. I wish it was possible to avoid using Netscape on Linux.
In a word, no. Sram uses latches. Capacitor eq: C = keA/d. k = dielectric constant, 3.9 for SiO2. e = permittivity of free space, 8.85e-12 F/m A = area of plates. d = distance between plates.
Solution? Make d really really small. The capacitance values are only a few femto-farads (1e-15) anyways. http://www.ryans.dhs.org
> You need a certain MASS of plutonium to get a reaction... Whatever. You probably need a couple of pounds to make a self sustaining reaction [boom]. It appears that this device used an alpha source to prod the reaction along. They makde a little bit of uranium and plutonium. If you can make a little you can eventually make a lot.
Of course this will be available to everyone! It isn't a neat new invention, it's just the normal incremental progress we're used to.
Let's do the math and see if this is anything remarkable. 2.5 gigs per sq inch, this comes out to 10 gig per surface for a normal 3.5 inch disk (or something around that). I assume a 3" OD, 2" ID. So with 4 platters, 8 surfaces, you get 80 gigs. Big whoopee. Maybe I did the calculations wrong. With 3.2" OD and 1.5" ID you get 120 gigs. Current 20 gig disks are about $270. So it costs $1200 to do this with current technology. Anyway, in three years it'll cost a couple hundred dollars and be standard equiptment.
BTW, lots of people DID dl the Matrix. I know 'cause I served it:) Email me if you want the url. ryanlist@altavista.net
It's a really simple program to make. You can get bigger tiles and finer detail by dividing the tiles into smaller squares. Algorithm:
1) Grid the source image and computer the avg color for each square.
2) Grid each tile into 9 smaller tiles (3 by 3). Find the color values for each subtile.
3) For each 3 by 3 section in the source image find the tile with best match. Use the normal sum of squares of differences.
The last section is the most compute-intensive (for large tile libraries). It's extremely easy to parallize though. Clever people can also sort the tiles ahead of time somehow.
The hard part is getting a source library of a couple thousand tiles (10s of thousands?). This is probably why porn was used.

I just wish Netscape wouldn't crash when I enabled Java. Arrgh. Piece of crap.

GNU really isn't a central part of the operating system. Just utilities, compilers, etc. Maybe they mean "inside this shrink-wrapped box?"

Wow! What a jacked up definition of broadband! A good definition of a > 200k/s connection would be "fast connection" :)
:)
Broadband basically describes a communication system which where the information sits on a carrier signal.
cable broadband
ethernet(10baseT) baseband
ethernet (10broad36) broadband
telephone (POTS) baseband
telephone (xDSL) ?? probably broadband
radio (american walkman type) broadband
fiber broadband, high frequency carrier, 500nm
rs-232 baseband
You get the idea.

More likely 4 years for $1k/TB. Figure double every two years. Rust seems to move a little slower than silicon.
