But, and I feel like I'm going to get a proverbial reprimand for asking the obvious, but why, in all this time, has no solution been proposed?

What about personal caches? I know that few people likely keep locally saved Web pages in near line accessibility. But if you only build the tool, I would happily mount the nearly 5 terabytes of ULTRASCSI drives I've got in storage, wh

I absolutely agree with your premise. But I cannot help but feel saddened, to reduce the prize to a level of the publicity it conveys. Neither can I eradicate the thought that awarding such a prize in this manner surely is felt as a provoca

Exactly. In my father's life, it was not allowed to vote unless you were the owner outright of property and women gained suffrage in his early years. My father lacked a birth certificate, and this prevented him from voting, until resol

Frankly I believe that Intel could sell processors now with ten times more cache per core, and the queue for them at $50,000 a socket would be just immense. I probably underestimate the likely cost by several times and then the cooling woul

I dream of being able to tell the file system to be ready for a range of requests when they are first anticipated. In a extreme, I think about getting a NV store to load the pointers to the physical data, in cache and to not flush the cache
