I'm not trying to be a smart arse but do you mean "memristor"?

I think it's just too darned difficult for most of us to write mainstream apps whilst figuring out the how to take advantage of multiple cores, or figuring out how to write a web browser in erlang etc. I'll be curious to see what comes out of the stanford pervasive parallelism lab, I think they have the right approach to tackling the 'coding for many cores' problem. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/30/stanford_funding_ppl/

sounds like you just spouted a bunch of hand wavey crap, much the article. You don't work for new scientist do you?

this world is rough and if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough, and i knew i wouldn't be there to help you along
So i give you that name and i said goodbye an i knew youd have to get tough or die, and it's tht name thts helped to make you strong.
now you just fought one hell of a fight and i know you hate me and you got the right to kill me now and i wouldn't blame you if you do.
but you oughta thank me before i die for the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye cos im the son of a bitch th named you sue.

you should give up fish and seafood as well.

A less technical way to put it is that the average lobster doesn't give a shit about whether humans suffer, so there is no reason for humans to give a shit about whether lobsters suffer.
Sounds like a great argument for cannibalism, plenty of humans out there don't give a shit about other humans suffering right?...
