I work for a website that is (semi) regularly featured in the topic of Slashdot threads (no, its NOTZDNet). A link to our site from the Slashdot homepage adds several hundred thousand extra hits in the time its featured. At the rate of handling a "several requests a second", it will only take that poor Atari 800 a year and a half to crawl out of the hole.

Having read this article and its predecessor, which proclaimed the death of newspapers, I'm starting to wonder if JonKatz is trying TOO HARD to get a writing gig at Wired or The Industry Standard.
These articles sound like auditions for those outlets that we're getting the second-run of and not original, provocative content written for Slashdot.
I'm sure anyone who read the article noticed that the author claimed this new device can transfer data at up to 1GB per second. Hell, he made us read it twice.
"Constellation 3D's fluorescent multilayer optical data storage technology can be used to produce compact, removable, inexpensive, rugged, ultra-high capacity data storage devices, having data transfer speeds in excess of
1Gbit/sec."
I guess to the author, there's no difference between 1 and 01101011.
The non-skip technology is based around an amazing and revolutionary new compound called GLUE. GLUE allows you to "adhere", or "fasten" parts together so that they don't move. Its simply amazing. What will Sony think up next?! (Maybe sodder)

Too bad its not true.
The conclusion paragraph on C-3D's webpage states:
