Re:enough! (Score 1)

I'm not sure that the quantity of computation really matters anyway. More computation does not always equate with computational quality.

Just for kicks imagine that future computational environments are largely restricted to massively parallel systems: any application/problem that does not scale well in that system will fail Moore's law long before those that do scale well. And there are many other considerations that are going to raise their ugly heads in the next few decades that will probably require severe discounting in order to perpetuate Moore's law.

Quantity may have a quality all its own, but it might be a very bad one.

Now, hmmm... where's that mechanical spanking machine I keep hearing about?
