Moore's law will probably not survive this decade, yet alone "forever"!
You can't grow # of components per IC indefinately due to power consuption costs and production costs. At current rate, the number of components will need to grow past a billion soon, and then it has to go though a trillion in next two decades! And then a 10E15 components in 40 years!! This is unrealistic.
Sorry, this will not happen. There will be no trillion component IC, yet alone 10E15. And how big would the processor need to be in a 1000 years to accomodate all of the components? The size of the solar system?
Isn't this one reason to allow them to marry? I mean WTF? If you think they are a genetic mistake, then allow them to marry. Their genes will not pass on and problem solved, right?
Just search google for "Gay Aminals" to see that being gay has little to do with evolution. Here, third link is here http://www.zoofur.com/gayanimals.html. Seeing is believing, eh?
If there is a vote, it will pass. The Liberals will vote for it, so will the NDP. The Bloc will as well (at least that's what they said). The so called conservatives are alone on this issue.
Well, this observation is dead. The computing power and processor's bandwidth can continue to increase for a while, especially when the quantum computer does more than 3*5, but the chip cannot get a lot smaller. There is such a thing as Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and unlike Star Trek, there is no Heisenberg Compensators for it!
BTW, gay couples shouldn't be allowed to be foster parents. Foster kids need normalcy in their lives. Sorry, gay parents aren't normal.
I think you meant stability?
There are always morons that think you can "teach" children to be gay or straight!! This is usually the basis of what parent poster said.
And about being unnatural, well, there are gay animals all over. For example, a lot of elk have homosexual tendencies in non-mating-season. Gay penguins all over the place (like some zoo got 3 pairs of penguins and then wandered about their poor ofspring production!!). You can even read old Nature from 1800s where you will see priests talking about "animals exhibiting non-christian behaviour".
What is unnatural is cloning kids but with current medicine the human gene pool is already crap (ie. natural selection stopped a few generations ago). So, cloning can't screw it up anymore.... (read: no natural selection => our genetic future is in our own hands, for better or worse)
Now, I'm not gay or anything, but I do agree with you 100%. The situation will not improve in the US anytime soon. You should consider moving to a country like Canada that already has gay marrige in many jurisdictions (BC, Ontario, etc.) and it will be Federal law soon enough.
Now we need a new slogan for Canada, "Canada, more free and tolerant then the US!"

I have an alarm system, a large dog, and several guns. My neighbor has none of the above. Which house would a burglar decide to break into?
A bank has armed guards, silent alarm and a big safe. Much harder target than your house, yet, people will break into it.
Anyway, you are no safer with your guns than your neighbour. Heck, you might be a lot worse. The neighbour might get away (window, etc.) if someone armed breaks in. You might chose to fight. Guess who has a higher chance of survival.
For once, at least I'm happy I'm using an open source OS like Linux. At least no single company can put keyloggers and backdoors in and everyone can detect the malware.
Anyway, if people wanted peace, why do we have (need?) a military?
Graph partitioning in mathematics (can be used for processor layouts, etc..) can use up enourmous amounts of RAM. Just image a weighted graph (or hypergraph to make things more interresting) with 1 billion nodes and then you want to partition it. Lots of ram and CPU power needed for this (especially since you can run in parallel).
I worked on something similar (a little bit less nodes:), but we filled up a 128 processor, 256GB machine for the duration of the partitioning. I think only 30GB was left free...
Now, I don't think a machine like this is in the budget of the poster.
I would not buy a processor with a rating of 100W. 80W is crazzy, but beyond 100W the fan gets noisy as hell.
100W * 5c/kWh -> ~$45/year to power it (yeah, low power prices in Canada thanks to tons of hydro:). If you raise it to 20c/kWh, you are paying about $180/year to power your 100W processor... Double that? 10x that? Not me.
No. When it falls back down, it most likely will give back the same photon, unless it goes though more than one transition to get back to ground state.
Heat is caused by friction, not electron energy state transitions! There is no energy "loss" as heat in eletron state transitions.
For me, the problem with one process stalling another of the same priority is only visible on Windows. Very high disk usage seems to do the same thing.
The solution of dual core is like putting in a bigger engine into your car so your car feels less slugish, yet the real solution would be just to oil the axle and change the oil.
If the flu scares you, this will shit your pants. Now, did US really end its development of bio-weapons or did their program just go underground (like in USSR)?
And this is funny/flaimbait/troll how? US did not sign onto the International Court just because of this reason!! "This is a body based in The Hague where unaccountable judges and prosecutors could pull our troops, our diplomats up for trial," Bush said in his first campaign debate.

Hey, that's what you get by having majorities imposing laws on minorities. Never worked and never will.
In Canada there is the Charter of Rights And Freedoms. Especially look at #15.
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
In Canada, the Supreme Court rules that the current marriage act discriminates against gay/lesbians on this basis (ie. don't have the same rights under the law). http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/12/09 /scoc-gaymarriage041209.html
Gay marriage is already law in many provinces now, but it is be voted federally soon.
So? It's not like real cash. If someone lost it, well, just get another check.

Yes, it seems this works so well for things like ICBs, cruise missles, bioweapons, etc... I mean, if you know how to attach, you know how to defend?

Now, US is threatening other countries to cut aid if they don't exempt US citizens. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A132 57-2004Nov25.html
I guess it is OK for the US to jail citizens of other coutries WITHOUT a trial http://www.notinourname.net/restrictions/prez-powe rs-16apr04.htm, but it is not OK for others to put Americans on trial...
Saying this is not right must be a troll?
