	"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.
