321327 2005-02-04 01:36:00 An intersting development in hardware architecture and software implementaion is in the wind. Or better put, social engineering changing the face of IT (society engineering tech!).

Read this first (www.theregister.com), courtesy of El Rg, for an idea of what it does and how it works. There's some geeky stuff in there, but give it a crack anyway, it's short and sweet, it'll give you a better insight into what follows.

Now that you've realised that you could/should/did have thought of that all by your self, doh! give self uppercut for not petenting it, hop over to this article (www.theregister.co.uk) to get a commentary on what it means to your listening or viewing pleasures and what it means to Wintel, oh and, Linux sucks and the intrarnet webnet, et al, is a flash in the pan :cool:

Is that guy talking through his most utilised orafice or what!, or is he spot on :thumbs:

321328 2005-02-04 01:40:00 I read a 15 page report on it from some computer scientist a few weeks back (it was heavy going but i just had to know)

I'll take a wait and see aproach.....But I won't be unhappy to see the end of the x86 platform,and the colapse of MS and Intel.

Such technological wet dreams founder on one simple thing . It's not that easy .

It "only" requires perfect code . It "only" requires robust secure error-free (or efficiently implemented error-correction) communications . It "only" requires the infinite bandwidth at zero cost which many ISP users seem to think their entitlement .

There's no such thing as perfect code . Even I can't write perfect code . :cool:

A few years ago, the US spent a lot of money on the "Star Wars" anti-missile fantasy . The computational requirements for that were simpler than this envisages, but even the most grant-hungry computer scientists had to admit it was impossible to write, impossible to maintain, impossible for it to work . Ever . They can't even count votes with computers . :)
As for the anti-missile hardware . . .
