That is a falicy. Moore's law is most certainly not accelerating -- in fact:
1965-1990 Moore's law stated that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits (and therefore, the speed) doubles every 2 years. The pace has since slowed down a bit, but appears to be holding steady at doubling every 18 months (1995-present).
Not to be too picky, but how is going from "doubling every 2 years" to "doubling every 18 months" slowing down? :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
