Re: 128-bit IP addressing is a different story. The spammers would love to send junk e-mail to every single atom in the universe.

LOL!!!

A universal truth!

Kap, "There are only about 10**42 atoms in the universe. Such computer can't be constructed."

Intel executives may argue with you in their eternal
efforts to prove the sustainability of Moore's law.
2^128 = (2^10)^12.8 = (10^3)^12.8 =~10^38, or approximately
10^39 bits. If you say there is 10^42 atoms in our Universe,
it leaves about 1000 atoms per bit cell.
The 1000 sounds like a pretty big number, so it must be
a piece of cake for the most advanced Intel
manufacturing technology. Long live Moore's law, and
investors who buys this.

Numbers of such size are nearly impossible to comprehend. But the total information required to model the universe is 10 billion times greater than the number of elementary particles--neutrons, protons, electrons and photons--in the universe, the Nature report said.
