I think the idea is that laser optical interconnects can criss cross each other without interfering, while copper tracks can't. So there is potential for increasing densities, while the roughly 50% propagation speed increase would probably help as well.
Hmm, the US haven't even been able to adopt the Metric system - I don't have any hope for the adoption of Open Documents. Sanity doesn't prevail in the USA...
Uhmmm - Pebble bed reactors are still somewhat unproven. I don't know of any commercial one in operation yet. One of the things that can go wrong is a breakup of the 'pebbles', which can cause problems.
Cool idea - you don't even need to clean them up before selling them on Ebay either - that way another geek can make money by cleaning it up for the idiot buyer...
Christianity is aimed squarely at children. Didn't that Jesus guy say "...render your children onto me...", not to mention the previous pope going "I just loooooove the children" and the priests who just loooove the children a bit too much as well and get sued for it.
At least as far as I know, neither the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus raped any children...
Exactly - if the spyware is that advanced, then it could also subvert the rest of the DNS lookup system. Once the machine security is breached, the rogue program can do anything it wants.
"What part of 'arbitrary code' don't you understand?":(
You don't need to break RSA - just replace the DLL that handles RSA with one that does nothing. Remember the PC is compromised - so the virus/spyware maker can do that and I think they have done it in the past.
Silicoses must be extremely hard to catch though - there are lots of people living in deserts or near beaches, who don't get silicoses. More people die from coconuts falling on their heads than silicoses and bird flu combined?
Yeah, islands of clock sincronicity is not new either - in old mainframes, where a processor could span multiple circuit boards, this was done already. It is a logical(!) development. I guess the big chips have pushed centralized clock circuitry as far as it can go.
You can turn the logging and NTP off and it will still work. I bet you never looked at the log file and you are a geek. Ordinary mortals will look at it even less...;)

Sure, but only citizen numbers 4975637200 till 4975637299 are allowed to leave...
My VIC20 never got a virus either...
I can feel a new market in advanced skipping equipment coming on...
The crumbling of the pebbles is a very real problem. It is not as simple as you are trying to make it out.

The empty tomb of who?
The used the technique to remove ice from the bridge structure, not the road surface.

Wow, they found an ozone hole on Venus too? ;)
Sure, but if you want five or more then they will do whatever it takes.
I guess NASA did learn something from all the Mars impacts after all... ;)
Hmm, like in Clockwork Orange, or the Vogon poetry appreciation chairs...
Man, go to any server farm and you'll see bazillions of Dell machines running Linux.
Yeah, that must be number of laptops stolen from the LAPD only...

iPod nano - just give a bunch to a creche of 3 year olds. Pretty soon, it will be inhaled, ingested and various other unspeakables...
Well, it seems Ol'Nixon wasn't so bad after all...

It is an asynchronous design. It is basically a regressive step, going back to the way things were done many decades ago.
