How Moore's law stabbed us in the back

[Eirikur Hallgrimsson]

I can see using as many computes as become available to me.   Bandwidth, 
too.    Not averaged over time, but in response time.  In "not having to 
wait." 

If (and I don't agree with this) Free Software degrades the average 
quality of software packages, that's another pull for more computes to 
take up the performance slack of less than optimal code.

I think it's Moore's law all the way.   I hope it keeps going for my 
lifetime.   I'm aware of physical limits in the present technologies, but
I expect them to be bypassed by adoption of new technologies.  I don't 
care if it's implemented in DNA or quantum interference, it just has to 
compute.

Eirikur's corollary to Moore's law:
Moore's law is not about technology.  Technology does not drive itself.
Moore's law is about human behavior.
