"Something like this cannot continue forever," he said.
"The dimensions are small enough now that we're approaching
the size of atoms and that's a fundamental block. I think
the law has another 10-20 years before fundamental limits
are reached."
This has obvious implications for brute force attacks -- projections
based on Moore's Law are thus much too conservative.
