He did work on cellular automatism for fluid dynamics, but that whole field was just a stopgap that never went anywhere. The quote you said is pretty telling. 1000 times the speed of a cray isnt really much at all, especially for algorithms poured into custom hardware.
How many of your alternatives have nothing to do with that phenomenon?
How do the two that might be used to descripe the phenomenon make a distinction towards all the normal electrons flying around in the interplanetary space (they move, so they are accelerated, and nearly anything out there is fast enough to be ionizing...)?
For 1250 (a bit more expensive than 500, ok) you can get the hexacopter, which: - has 20 to 40 minutes endurance - is fully automatic - can fly to GPS coordinates without outside commands - can carry over 1 kg payload.
would make a lot of stuff easier. For example, you would not have to use Gmail, Google Voice or Chrome anymore in order to get an optimzed web experience. They will happily evaluate whatever other service you use, thus improving your life by not being evil.
Not quite "that" system, but a quick search gives me for example this: http://geizhals.eu/a450039.html for less (samsung dual core 2, 3GB ram, 15.6" screen, 356) The only thing is the 4GB ram. If you are happy with 2GB, you get laptops starting from 300. All having "microsoft tax" and dual core core 2...
Just some pieces of info for people who might not know:
Nowadays, all the major publishers dont have an issue if you post a prepring on arxiv, prl included. If you want to get a preprint out, the procedure is as follows:
1) You put something on arxiv and submit it to PRL. 2) After a few weeks/months, you get your referee reports. 3) Then you revise it, and update your arxiv version. 4) Paper gets accepted. Paper is entering the editorial process, and you get proofs.
-> at this point, APS has contributed to the paper. The specific version proofed by PRL can no longer be uploaded to ARXIV/etc. 5) Final corrections, ready to print.
Nowadays, the proof and setting part is relatively minor. Most likely you will have written it in RevTex, and have PDF figures, so its an no issue. But they still allow you to send them the text in word and the figures in phyical form (ink drawing, whatever), if you are really interested in it not getting published quickly.
So for most issues, a paper on Arxiv might be 99.9% identical to the final published paper, and only diiffer by the editorial issues. But you cannot know it. It might also represent a state from before the peer review.
I am working with HF stuff. I run on cables that cost as much as that one, but in bulk supply from industry vendors (Huber+Suhner, for example). Because they are linear to 18 Ghz.
I also did an experiment where i had to synchronize two signals to some picoseconds, and that is damn hard. Damn hard in the sense of "a day of quality time with a network analyser and a few delaylines".

Speaking again on HDMI: Yeah, it matters for it, as its fucking running at several hundred times the datarate than an audio connection. HDMI is specified to transport up to 10Gbits/s, multiplexed on only 19 conductors. Compare again with audio datarates...
Signal speed in copper is about 15-20cm per second. Even if they were running those things at a GHz (how many hundreds of audio channels do they transport), being correct to the cm would be quite ok.
And even bog-standard cables are easily in side that tolerance.
Ok, just once, giving you the benefit of doubt concerning trolling:
The mediterrean doesnt have that many rivers flowing into it, but is in a relatively hot climate. This means that much more water evaporates than it recieves.
Several times in history, the connection of the mediterrean with the other oceans (i.e. the atlantic) was closed by the way of plate tectonics,ice age, etc (plate of africa going north and forming the alps...)). During these times, the entire sea evaporated away. IIRC, it was once MUCH deeper, but at the ground there are a few km of salt and sediments from those times.
But such things cannot last. Thousands (if an ice age) or millions of years later there was a breach somewhere to let water enter (be it by way of an earthquake, rising water level of the outside oceans, etc). And after that, erosion had its way.
It must have been an unimagineable awesome display...
Hey, the damage was on a surface electricity line. Which was most likely installed by the power company running that part of the grid. I am sure no scientist bothered to work on it.
And even if it would drop down to 1/4th, it would still be 10 times as expensive as hard drives are today.
It will NEVER be cheaper to make chips than to put magnetic films on some metal / glass discs, at least if you are looking at large amounts of storage.
Its just the fact that the performance gain will enable more and more uses. For bulk storage of Petabytes i will bet that you will go for hard drives even after 2020.
PS: Tri/quad state (is really 8 / 16 state, as MLC already has 4 states to get 2 bits) will be fragile as hell. Those 3bit/cell chips availabe today are more like 100 write cycles...

Oops. Did i just break the stupid concept in another way?
Apple Strongarms Publishers: They are not allowed to sell it cheaper anywhere else!
Damn, thats emberassing. got the wrong person...

My bullshit detector is tingeling quit a bit in your post.
He hasnt published anything even near that direction.
He isnt mentioned or documented in even working in that field.
If he really did a breakthrough that was so top secret they have it still confidential 20+ years later, than why did he tell YOU?
Well, first one to throw a stone...

Hint:
"Browser Game" implies a game that is started by visiting a web page.
No local installation existing before.
Otherwise it would be pointless.... if you already have it installed locally, why not just run an executable?
Glasshouse, meet stone.
Or in other words: Are you functionally retarted?
Look up the meaning of "digital". Hint: it has nothing to do with all the stuff happening if you _compress_ digital signals.
would make a lot of stuff easier.
For example, you would not have to use Gmail, Google Voice or Chrome anymore in order to get an optimzed web experience.

Or you have the internet.

Better than you may expect.
Just add up how much distance it is crossing while orbiting the earth...
Sorry, you are right of course.
I usually work in nanoseconds, but left out the "nano" in this post.
I tell you, audiophiles have NO IDEA OF SCALE.

The GP did fall for the same fallacy that was propagated by those big brother people.
I never got this "first Amendment" as a sign of importance argument.
If it was that important, why was it only later added as an amendment?
Nothing is ever a complete solution, for anything.
But every single Joule helps.

This is the guy who complained about that "idle process stealing 97% of his cpu power".
Do you expect he knows what he is talking about?
expicitely no.
