Are Vacuum Tubes (Valves) Making a Comeback?

LOL

Nice thing about tubes is that they give the data a, ah a quality you can't get with solid state devices, dude.

I believe they typically refer to that quality as "warmth". Nothing like warm data.

What happen to March? I did not realize April 1st was here! but with the engery usage it would warm things up ;P Charles metalSmiths

Plug your guitar into that and make Rock n Roll history baby! Can you dig? Incredibly groovy.

This is good. Why model global warming with numbers when you can have an actual model?

We're proud of this baby, it can pump out zetta-flops on a cold day! Forget those slowpoke IBM super computers. Sadly, on a hot, sweaty day it does slow down to mere exa-flops.

On the bright side, all that generated heat produces some prodigious steam generated electrical power helping to cut down its coal demand. One of the best closed loop power generating systems on the planet.

Now this is distributed computing at its finest.
