Moore’s Law has been an important benchmark for developments in microelectronics and information processing for over three decades. During this time, its applications and interpretations have proliferated and expanded, often far beyond the validity of the original assumptions made by Moore.

In this short note we discuss the influence of power-law magnetic field decay on the evolution of old accreting isolated neutron stars. We show, that, contrary to exponential field decay (Popov & Prokhorov 2000), no additional restrictions can be made for the parameters of power-law decay from the statistics of isolated neutron star candidates in ROSAT observations. We also briefly discuss the ...
