The funny part: Those on this list who have cited Moore's Law don't seem to have an understanding that it does not directly apply to custom routing logic (since general-purpose CPUs are no longer fast enough to do the lookups on the high end). In addition, GP CPUs are no longer scaling exponentially, but rather closer to quadratically and approaching linear. In short, Moore's Law is dying, and even if it weren't, it is not a valid argument for "let the swamp in". -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
