    I'm sure the jimp would find this interesting, as he claims to be an
    electrical engineering type. But his anger may prevent him from
    reading this cool article.

Sammy, you are STILL an idiot. What kind of article talks about Moore's 
so-called "law" in one breath and than talks about our savior with 
micron size devices? Here's a hint, Samson: What are the current 
dimensions of transistors in the current generation of Intel processors? 
  How about the NEXT generation? Are you REALLY this dumb?
