"In less than a year"

Small Times. IBM spokesman at nanotech conference (another strong indicator of acceleration):

Kelly also said he thought carbon nanotubes would find their way into semiconductor devices sooner rather than later. "When I was here last year, I said that carbon nanotubes were 10 to 20 years off," he said. "The progress the world has made in only a year has really surprised me." He cited research at IBM and elsewhere that has advanced from producing single nanotube transistors to building working circuits in less than a year.

Chances are

N.Y. lottery numbers drawn: 9-1-1 [Google News]

For a number with three digits, 0 through 9, picked every day, this should occur at least once somewhat more often than every three years. However, no one is reporting about how often this happens.

A single value of a random sequence cannot differentiate between causality and coincidence. So get over it.

Riding the Rambus out of town

Intel dropping Rambus for workstations. CNET Sep 11 2002 7:15PM ET [Moreover - moreover...]

Thank goodness. I've been really ready for folks to get over Rambus. Forgetting the legal issues for the moment... while htere may have been some neat ideas in there, it just wasn't a good implementation of them. Negative timing budgets make me cranky.
