Some random notes

• slashdot
• On slowing the speed f light.
• On Moore's Law
  • From Pfister, _In search of Clusters_
    • It MAY end in 2010
    • Cost of chip factories doubles every 3 years.
    • Too few electrons to detect
    • Effects of quantum mechanics
      • Electrons go where they can't go.
      • Electrons are in two places at once.
    • Pfister doesn't beleive it because:
      • About 60% of the 154% growth has been due to size changes, algorithms, techniques, and other such changes have done the rest.
      • It has been predected before, but was not true then.
      • It is a long time from now, and we will find a soultiong.
    • Others suggest
      • Increasing chip width .
      • Increasing chip thickness.
      • New technologies.
  • An Interview with Gordon Moore
  • A good article on the matter
