Most people run about 200
milliLampsons. The eponymous Butler Lampson (a CS theorist and systems
implementor highly regarded among hackers) goes at 1000. A few people
speak faster. This unit is sometimes used to compare the (sometimes widely
disparate) rates at which people can generate ideas and actually emit them
in speech. For example, noted computer architect C. Gordon Bell (designer
of the <a href="../P/PDP-11.html"><i class="glossterm">PDP-11</i></a>) is said, with some awe, to think at about 1200 mL but only
talk at about 300; he is frequently reduced to fragments of sentences as
his mouth tries to keep up with his speeding brain.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="middle-out-implementation.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../M.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="minor-detail.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">middle-out implementation </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> minor detail</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
