Fueling IT <Motorola unveils 'revolutionary' superfast microchip technology news.independent.co.uk "These new chips could run at more than 70Ghz, compared with the 2Ghz speed of the best current chips. It has not been possible, until now, to combine silicon with III-V materials – such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide – as their crystalline structures did not match up and they could not be successfully bonded." > All grist to the mill.

* Triple Witching * AND 20.02 20.02.2002 Omigosh, like, you know, the Dow closed ABOVE 10,000 today, 10,001.99 precisely. We now have triple witching of the Dow, Nikkei and Hang Seng above 10,000 right now! If we have a triple over 10,000 on the triple palindrome date, we have got an incredibly combustible mix. Not even a week to go. Hold on tight to your grips folks!! Omigosh, I'm so, like, you know, superstitious. I should check out some astrology stuff in cyberspace. Maybe Nostradamos had a reading on the situation. Mqurice PS: Edit... I've just realized, it's Valentine's Day over there... that just adds fuel to the fire. After all, it's love and passion that fuel the world. Wow! Hmmm, mention of "USS Enterprise" on 6 September was timely too, even if only a metaphor, given what happened 911 and subsequently... Well, it's time to bulldoze the darkness of the Taleban and evil out of the way and make room for the creative, energetic light and life. There's no stopping humans! From 6 September 2001: ========================================================= < It was nearly 8 years ago that the Hang Seng first reached 10,000. It was nearly 20 years ago that the Nikkei first reached 10,000. It was 2.5 years ago that the Dow first reached 10,000. Now, all three are converging. This is remarkably similar to the convergence of GSM, CDMA and TDMA into cdma2000, with Vodafone issuing instructions to equipment manufacturers that they want convergence and they want it now. VW40 was a will o' the wisp. The Emperor's golden raiment was imaginary. My guess is that we will see simultaneous convergence in a Telecosmic Big Bang which will come to be seen as the beginning of IT. This is the cusp. We are entering a singularity. We are going beyond the event horizon. All previous understanding of physics, economics, humans, and how things work is irrelevant. This is globalisation, cyberspace, Ted Kaczynski's nightmare panix.com Bill Joy's concern wired.com Stephen Hawking's recommendation clinton4.nara.gov CDNA and CDMA, together the world. I wonder if cyberspace will blow up when the 3 x 10,000 is reached and 3 orthogonalities superimpose. Uncle Green$pan has pulled the nickel zirconium rods right out of the reactor core and USS Enterprise is being fully-powered. Will there be a colossal explosion or will USS Enterprise accelerate right off the planet, carrying the rest of us with it? This sure is a LOT of fun. It's so great to live in these interesting times. I suppose I should come up with some incantations. Synchronicity now! Mqurice PS: snip from Hawking's <...Because biological evolution is basically a random walk in the space of all genetic possibilities it has been very slow. The complexity, or number of bits of information that are coded in DNA is given roughly by the number of nucleic acids in the molecule. Each bit of information can be thought of as the answer to a yes no question. For the first two billion years or so the rate of increase in complexity must have been of the order of one bit of information every hundred years. The rate of increase of DNA complexity gradually rose to about one bit a year over the last few million years. But now we are at the beginning of a new era in which we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA without having to wait for the slow process of biological evolution. There has been no significant change in human DNA in the last ten thousand years. But it is likely that we will be able to completely redesign it in the next thousand. Of course many people will say that genetic engineering on humans should be banned. But I rather doubt if they will be able to prevent it. Genetic engineering on plants and animals will be allowed for economic reasons and someone is bound to try it on humans. Unless we have a totalitarian world order, someone will design improved humans somewhere...>>
