I am sure we *will* see 1 Terahertz CPUs.  Just not with todays technology 
and to imply that you could manage it with liquid hyrdrogen cooling is, 
franky, idiotic.

I don't mind offering help and encouragement (in the very limited areas 
where I might conceivably be qualified to do so).  But Karl's post was just 
plain daft.
