Back in 2002 a lecturer for Computer Systems Engineering explained to me why the GHz race was ending (did end). Apparently the engineers were running into issues with clock propogation through the chip. As the leading edge of a clock propagates through a chip at say 10Ghz the wavelength is below 10mm. Thus before the falling edge the signal would have only travelled 5mm. Different travel paths and instruction times was leading the engineers to impossible asynchronous errors. It was predicted that with modern chip design would peak at 5GHz.
They never quite got that high but he was close nontheless.

Dining alone tonight?

I was referring to organising a dinner with friends. You know the kind that involves communication with multiple people over a period of time enabling all of you to meet at some pre-arranged destination so that you might enjoy each others company. :)

But how do you organise your dinner? Email? Mobile?
I work on a Gas Plant where i must leave my phone at home all day every day.
I felt serious withdrawal. Its a great convenience to be able to make and recieve calls whenever you want.
My friends got used to it and so did I, but it really did feel like i was addicted to it.

And 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot!

News just in.
Pirate bay gives up vagabond lifestyle to move to permanent home in Spain.

it will be more likely that you have a wireless net connection to the cloud which does your processing for you. and sends you back the results. Bandwidth will be infinately cheaper then computer power. Will make us more connected but as previous posters have said, possibly more enslaved should this technology be used for control.

Haha Made me LoL.
Will probably be back down in a sec too though.

Or perhaps you don't know what government sponsored reports are. They pay you to find the results they want. Thats how it works and its what started the whole climategate affair in the first place.

You missed the point. The point is that what effect the demand of biofuels will have on the hungry. Regardless they will have to feed themselves. Having a greater demand for biomass to use for feed stock will no doubt lead to greater supply of the said stock.

No matter how much food the world produces however the market will always find a more profitable way of distributing it then giving it away to the hungry.

Zimbabwe is an interesting point, where because of reasons (now stated above by other posters) the people dont have access to their own highly fertile land which could easily produce enough food to sustain them and instead they are starving.

Therefore, one day in the future when I fill up with biodiesel I wont be worried that I am somehow contributing to their plight.

Poor market management, lack of planning or agricultural investment and war cause famine, not biofuels. Zimbabwe is host to some of Africa's best ariable land and yet there are thousands who are starving. If the people hadn't let all the farms fall into disrepair after the revolution they would have so much food they could be exporting to other regions.

There is enough farmland available to grow enough food for all the world. Better prices for biofuel stock might drive up prices short term, but will lead to greater investment and supply long term.
