I don't recall why 10^-6 W, though. Well, if we need 10^-4 A, and we use voltages in the 1-2 V range (that's what CPU, AGP etc. use these days), then we obviously need 10^-4 W as well. -- Jean Delvare - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
