Comment Re:Python for Scientific use (Score 2, Informative) 119

Not even quite sure MATLAB "does what it does well". Its usually a great way to get started, especially if you don't quite know what you are doing. But then I often find myself wondering why I am working around bugs and re-writing functions in a $10k software package. Moved almost everything to python/numpy/scipy/Matplotlib over a year ago and really haven't looked back.

Here's one thing that Matplotlib should not have replicated from MATLAB: insane memory usage.
Please folks, lets get it under control: 1G of memory to display a med-large image is a joke !

Comment Universal memory (Score 1) 153

Advanced "universal" memory technologies (fast, non-volitile) such as MRAM, FRAM, maybe RRAM will alter this landscape significantly. While some are available now, we'll have to wait a few more technology generations before they have the density to realistically compete with hard drives or even Flash.
