H. G. Wells, When the Sleeper Wakes, 1899.

His concept had multiple speeds as well, but even that was predated by the working design at the Chicago World's Fair.

Best slashdot post evah.

FTFY.

Great post.

Too many people viewed the Web as just the latest development in client-server technologies, and this is how it is often employed within companies.

Another chip designer here ...

Anything that lets us make transistors faster without paying a huge cost in leakage (power consumption when not switching) is a win. It sucks to go from one process node to the next and get almost no performance benefit unless you're willing to pay a leakage penalty. SOI rocks, but not everybody has it. Therefore, I'm a bit more excited about graphene than you are.

Thank you.

It's mimicry, not "lying".
