Moore's Law

The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future.

In subsequent years, the pace slowed down a bit, but data density has doubled approximately every 18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's Law to hold for at least another two decades.

Trying to maintain "Constitutional" protections to prevent abuse of database information won't work. If you look at the violations of our Constitutional rights going on today, how you expect them to protect us in the future?

Very interesting.

Back when I was in the USMC, some guys in the barracks designed a man-portable surface-to-air missile using Radio Shack gear and model rocketry technology.

I'm PRETTY sure they didn't actually build the thing.

Good. I want the one Will Smith had in MIB!

The link now links to a different article. I'm not sure what's up with the 'exerpted' trend. Other than I don't like it. Has Jim asked people to do this now? Last I heard you were supposed to post entire articles if possible (except for Washington Post and LA Times). One thing this allows is bookmarking, linking on FR, and retrieval and searches years later. Interesting article like the one here are repalced quickly on most news sites. This one appears to be gone already.

Why did you excerpt instead of posting the entire article? If nothing else it makes reading it much easier.
