Terrific feedback on those corrections that I'll certainly take into
consideration.
My original numbers on the population of available computers was perhaps
a wee but on the high side. After all, only 0.1% of humanity really
matters, whereas the remaining 99.9% (scum of the Earth) hasn't a
freaking prayer. However, within institutions and certainly throughout
vast government installations (thousands of those) are dozens of spendy
PCs, plus loads better off than PCs, running amuck per individual.
Uncle Al; "1) We need more civilian power reactors if we wish to think
and play. A rational civilian fuel recycling plan, too."
I'm thinking lunar He3 as clean fusion energy, and/or perhaps another
spare terawatt as derived from the tether dipole element that's
essentially driving the dozen or so 100 GW laser cannons focused upon
Earth receiving stations, or perhaps from time to time focused on the
butts of certain warlords running amuck. In the mean time, I've
suggested we need to order a thousand of those French reactors that are
so much safer and thereby more fuel efficient to boot (we certainly
don't have any shortage of cold-war nuclear fuel).
As far as heat recovery from computers, I'm thinking of the R-1024/m
worth of basalt microspheres as offering the ultimate structual medium
and insulation, and perhaps micro-gap xenon selective-back-illuminated
TFT screens that'll knock your socks off at 1000 cd/m2, and a 100,000
half life at that, all at roughly 20% of what most 500 cd/m2 accomplish
as of today.
Uncle Al; "If you count music and video, 99% is garbage without
argument."
I think you're remaining way too conservative on behalf of the crapolla
and disinformation factor, as I'd have to give 99.9% as being entirely
without moral or even subjective worth.
Uncle Al; "You can have my WordStar when you pry it from my cold dead
hands."
Good for you, as I'd say the same on behalf of 'NOTE TAB PRO' and of
just about anything other than "Microcrap" is not only more user
friendly but directly more computer friendly and thereby more energy
efficient in terms of my biological considerations as well as
hardware/processor related.
Uncle Al; "Europe and russia will be interesting."
Don't underestimate those wise old Chinese, they've out lasted most
everyone else and they still have those nice little ET Dropa/Dzopa folks
helping them out.
Uncle Al; "No way. That won't even run the motherboard."
I agree that 100 watts is a bit marginal, that is if we all needed every
possible bell and whistle and those 200gb drives absolutely chuck full
of interactive smut, as then a full KW may not suffice. However mostly
text based and limited graphics is entirely capable of being doable. An
LED cluster/array or micro Xenon office work light, by which 10 watts
will nicely illuminate your cubical as well as burn your eyes out,
subsequently demand darn little if any HVAC, whereas such we're looking
at the 100 watt/unit.
Uncle Al; "By 2050 First World civilization will be abolished, smothered
within its socialist Ponzi schemes and overrun by reproductive warriors
who value life beneath all else."
I personally will not last another 45 years. However, at the current
rate of pissing off the havenots and of draining their remaining global
energy resources into extinction, it isn't looking all that prime for
surviving the next decade without another and another round of 9/11s and
WMD snipe hunting.
I think your 2050 deadline is incorrect, as per the Pope that has a
thing against Cathars, and that of our resident warlord (GW Bush)
already values "life beneath all else".
Thanks again for your honest perspectives.
BTW; I have an ongoing need for accomplishing a little back-in-time
supercomputed efforts on behalf of stellar motions, of the whereabouts
of Sirius as related to our existence. Any chance you've got that sort
of capability?
