Moore says his law won't last

        "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.
