One of the links Adrian included in his original question had them using an electron microscope. For what it's worth, I found the same link a few months ago when I was researching the same thing for campus, and passed it on to one of our CS profs (this guy: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~iang) and he said it looked reasonable.

Of course not. We've been told for our entire professional careers that it's not enough. Folk wisdom is a powerful force. Mike -- In an experiment to determine the precise amount of beer required to enjoy this film, I passed out. - Dave O'Brien, on "Highlander II"
