1) We're approaching another boundry for processor technology. In other words, we're about to cap out how fast we can make chips unless they come up with a new technology. We can only make the wires in the chips so small before they can no longer carry an electrical signal. We're getting close apparently. Some say in the next 4-6 years we might hit that mathematical minimum size, unless we get a new paradigm in processor tech!



That's where carbon based computing comes in...

BAH.. coders are depending more on processor speed instead of optimizing their code... YIKES... what''s the world coming to?

The nightmare travels across the cosmos with his burning mane. The trail of ash that is produced.

?Have a nice day!?

Hmmm... I''ve always advocated clear logical understandable code, even if somewhat bloated, over harsh banged out optimizations (which may be hardware/language dependant). Could it be all these years... I''ve been wrong? Just something to think about.
