Does this mean that MySQL will become easily breakable like its cheap furniture counterpart, and that Craigslist will be inundated with used and crappy MySQL databases?
Perhaps this also means that MySQL will not handle data moves very well, and becoming rickety over time.
Maybe it will baby-sit your children in a virtual ball bin. (perhaps the only perk of IKEA).
Poor analogy. They should really work with a PR agency before they associate their name with a place that harbors inferior quality merchandise.
This article says that "The paper records are then stored, and can be counted after the polls close. "
If this is as I read it, then why have electronic voting at all? For faster news coverage and give instant gratification to the winner? I'd rather wait for the tally then succumb to vulnerabilities of electronic voting.
There are so many surrounding e-voting, at teh center is hacking and privacy. For me the issue of stealing votes through hacking is small compared to the larger problem of privacy. Now, this proposal is better than ATM style receipts. If you notice, this bill proposes a paper trail verified by the voter and kept by the machine. But I still feel that if my votes are kept electronically, then my personal vote is a risk of being captured and analyzed. I fear the future that when after election day I get a phone call asking me why I voted for the person I voted for!
I agree with you on the usefulness outside of processors, digital logic, etc... But even companies like Freescale (ex- Motorola) and ADTRAN, all doing communications, use a derivitive of CMOS. Why? Because of infrastrucutre and economics. What you can do in HBT, CCD, etc you can get similar functionality and even speed (heard of strained silicon?) from CMOS.
But yes, there will be more indium phosphide op-amps, as there are currently on the market, aimed towards the high speed communications market.
More and more we here about these new HBT circuits that are faster than all get out. The truth is that nothing will replace CMOS anytime soon. The infrastructure is already there, and it is being optimized over and over again and has a huge work force to man it.
I once heard someone ask Intel is they ever plan to switch to HBT for speed. Their response is, and will probably be for a while, that why would they switch technologies after investing $50 billion a year in their CMOS foundries etc.
These advancements may never make it to the point that the average consumer will take notice of them. And it may be that these academic inventions will never find any market relevance.
Actually, they do. Some fiber access providers are allowing cached versions of movies and tv shows to be stored across routers and boxes across the network using liscensed BitTorrent technology. DynamicCity is the company that originally pointed me to this idea, they provide the topology and brainpower behind the UTOPIA fiber project in Utah.
There is actually a travelling smithsonian exhibit going across the country to smaller communities on this ery subject. You read read about it here, it is currently in Rexburg, Idaho.

ODF will more likely be a good ride for 10 years.
but you can also beach whales with our new sub-woofer!
