STUN GUNS
Police in New South Wales Australia are considering purchasing stun guns for every response vehicle in the State.
These weapons are able to fire a pair of barbs at a person who is causing a problem for police and deliver a high-voltage shock via wires to disable the person up to approximately four metres away. The guns weigh 240 g each and cost $1800.
Intel has just shown a new Pentium processor prototype capable of one teraflops, which is one trillion floatingpoint operations per second.
10 years ago a computer of that power required 10,000 Pentium processors in 85 cabinets and took up storage space of 2000 ft.² + had a value of $50 million to build.
