The linked article is an editorial. It links to another article summarizing Ron Paul's plan. That article links to the actual proposal:

The plan is actually really interesting. It DOES cut DOD by 200B per year. It makes some deep cuts, and balances the budget by 2015. I don't know if he could get it though congress, but at least he is proposing SOMETHING. We can't keep our heads buried in the sand and spend money we don't have. Even with RP's plan, it shows national debt as 92.5% of GDP in 2013!
Getting out of the mess we are in is going to require some hard choices, and sacrifice.
Speed Matters, which is a project of the Communication Workers of America, conducted the study between May 2007 and May 2008 by asking users visiting its Web site to test out their connection speed to check how quickly they could download and upload data. In total, nearly 230,000 connections in the United States were tested.
a survey of visitors to their website. Gee, that sounds like a scientifically valid sample.
Silicon scaling will run out. We will reach a point where we can no longer make working circuits any smaller, but it will NOT be in the next four years. 45, 32, 22 nm circuits are already in the lab. 16nm (which may be the limit,) is expected to be in production by 2018 (10 years from now.) After 16nm, quantum tunneling may be a problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_nanometer
If I wait a day to respond to emails at work, I will get an email from my manager asking why I haven't responded to
Most coworkers can't wait for email. They IM and expect immediate response.
All these people who say "stay on DST all year round" must not have to get up early in the morning. Dark at 6:00 am sucks much more than dark at 6:00 pm. It makes it very difficult to get out of bed.
Why is the parent moderated troll? My question was legitimate. I can use 3 gig of memory on a 32 bit processor. The reason I need a 64 bit processor is so I can address 32 gig or 64 gig or 128 gig. I have actual need for a machine that can address this much memory. I have applications that take 40, 50, 60 gig or more to run. I would love to be able to run them on a notebook.
The same argument was made when DVD & PS2/XBox came out. But nobody I know uses a PS2 or XBox as their primary movie watching box. Everyone bought stand-alone DVD players (even if they didn't have a game console.)
I'm not a fan of steeling, but after seeing stories like this:

I'm not going to cry for anyone. When Mick and the boys can make $162 million in North America alone, who needs record sales?
When they charge you over $100 to see the show, they should give you the CD for free!
Have you ever heard of supply and demand? If we fix oil prices at $25 per barrel, the oil companies will just sell it to China at $70, and we will have NONE. If China convinces Venesula to sell them all their oil, we will see $100 oil very soon.
There are MANY cars sold in the US that are made in Japan, Korea, Germany, etc. However, Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys (the two best selling cars in America,) are both made in the US. More than half of all "Japanese" cars are made in the US. Even BMW makes cars in the US. But not ALL of them.
The senate majority is not big enough for this to happen. The 44 Democratic Senators will make sure that Judges are (relatively) moderate.
* ruining of Social Security
It was ruined in about 1964 (under a Democratic president.)
* relationships with allies severed
Strained, maybe. Our allies understand that administrations are temporary. Money talks.
* inability for Americans to safely travel overseas
Neither party has a viable solution that will improve our safety.
* the imposition of fundamentalist christian morality on all citizens (prayer in school, no abortion, discrimination and violence against gays, teaching creationism, etc)
Move to New York or California, or another "blue" state.
* bankruptcy of the Federal government due to grandiose overspending and insufficient tax revenue
Actually, it's part of the Department of Energy budget, which is $24 Billion.
From:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2005/energy.html
The 2005 Budget provides $9.0 billion for the national security activities of the National Nuclear Security Administration to include maintaining the safety, security, reliability and effectiveness of the Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile; preventing the spread of materials, information, and technology of weapons of mass destruction by eliminating or securing nuclear materials and related infrastructure and providing the U.S. Navy with safe, effective nuclear propulsion plants.

In the New York Area, Optimum Online Ultra is 101 Mbps

granted, it's expensive.
There are IP credit card terminals. They are much faster than phone line ones too.
Online distribution won't happen if Comcast has their say!

Intel thinks we may hit the limit by 2021. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-5112061.html
RTFA. He did.
They already do, but it is a bit more expensive than 8 PS3s: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/cell-based.html
just what we need: Congress making knee-jerk reaction legislation about things they don't understand.
Actually, that is a Nano. The "classic" is bigger.

What good is a 64 bit processor that can only use 3 gig of memory?
This article says that YES it does run Linux. And, it is using AMD Opteron processors (not Power 5.)
The same argument was made when DVD & PS2/XBox came out. But nobody I know uses a PS2 or XBox as their primary movie watching box. Everyone bought stand-alone DVD players (even if they didn't have a game console.)

I can hardly wait until some other media companies learn how to be as smart as google.

My limiting factor is the number of 2.4GHz wireless phones nearby.

Both parties are working on this quite well.
According to this article, Dartmoth has 12000 computers for 4000 students???
