1 Terabyte Optical Storage Disks
fenimor writes "Physicists at Imperial College London described a new method for potentially encoding and storing up to one Terabyte of data, or 472 hours of film, on one optical disk the size of a CD or DVD. Maybe it won't be as large, as 100TB holographic optical storage, but still should be enough to fit every episode of The Simpsons on one disk. Dr Török, Lecturer in the Department of Physics, believes that the first disks could be on the shelves between 2010 and 2015."
I still love Naomi! :-(
Down with linux
Dump George W. Bush!
Who cares? Syllable 0.5.4 is out: the open source desktop OS!

Man, a whole terrabyte. Imagine the number of slashdot threads that could be stored on that!
You call that a pr0n collection??!!!
Bah!
haha.. you made me laugh so hard and suddenly, I ended up in a painful coughing fit!
I think it was the "sigh" at the end.
Well then. Name some other uses other than condensing one's movie collection, and massive backup.

Great. I'll need to invest at a pretty high interest rate to afford EVERY episode on one disk. Single-season sets are running $30-$50. Ten seasons and you're looking at a CAR PAYMENT...
who da man now? :p
Do you have enough condoms or if your by youself then lotion?
Why would a Slashdotter ever need condoms anyways? Lotion maybe. But condoms? Now I don't mean using condoms to get oneself off because of some fettish. I mean actually needing condoms. This is something that Slashdotters will never need.
