It seems that much of the technology news lately has been about engineers/chemists/etc working with nearly a single atom. How far off does everyone think we'll have a storage device where we can store 1 bit per atom. I'm assuming that this material would have to very pure. Will we ever be able to use any substance? This would be a perfect use for all of those pizza crusts laying around. Just pop'em into Mr. Storage and instantly you have 500 extra Tb laying for the prOn collection.
How do the people feel about this? Do most of them even care? Would this money be better spent on education? I don't like the idea of having many computers in the classroom as we have in the US. My little sister learned to add on a calculator. I think we need to go back to the basics. Getting everyone online is a better idea than what china is doing, but I think we should be somewhere in the middle.
What can the people on the outside do to help? It can't be that hard to smuggle info into China. Look how easy it was to get US nuclear plans. Anyhow, Does anyone know what they use to filter? Can we set up anonymous proxies for them? There has been than dang/. banner about "Protecting the privacy of your users". Any idea know how to implement this on a large scale. (And probably low budget) Are there any organizations working on this? What about wireless? During wartime, we love dropping leaflets/flyers. Any modern day equivalent? I doubt the casual end users will be able to purchase a DirecPC style system. (Even if Hughes coverred that area) Are there any underground clandestine pipes/routers in China? Freenet or the like available?
They state that the expected there to be more chaos. Why would this event no follow the laws of physics? Yes, I'm sure there was a load of turbulence. weird gravitational/magnetic fields and the like, but wouldn't these make the object have more of a shape than a random placing of the resultant material?
You need the OS to provide the provide solid base. If all applications had near total control, think of how often you would crash. I don't see how this could be secure. Does this mean the meat of a program would have to re-written from program to program instead of using an API type interface to the OS?
Great, now when I find myself searchig for more spaces for my mp3/pron collection, I can just cook up a batch of jello. I can probably get a greater bit density by using different colors from the different flavors.
Would I be able to store more info in blue-rasberry as opposed to cherry due to the wavelength difference?
I guess this brings a new meaning to home-brewed system.
replacement? What happens when these fans go bad. I understand that there are probably many of them and a single failure won't hurt, But will I have to throw my chip away after 25% of them die?
imagine a beowulf cluster of these rendering images of natalie portman being upset that the goatse.cx guys are more of a popular download than she is now.:)
I'd rather have off the shelf HW. Proliant servers are what I what call commodity HW. These things are a pain in the rear. Anyone offering pre-configged/built clusters using "standard HW"? I'm glad to see Compaq doing this, but I would like to see use of HW that if it takes a crap, I can run to the local Computer store and be back up before lunch. How long would it take to get a replacement PS from Compaq? (Yes, I realize they should be redeundant/hot-swappable)
This is the greatest benefit to me. We have tons of open RJ45 jacks around that anyone can plug into and siphon off data from the inside of our filrewall. Now we can track down to the mac address, this should make it much simpler to place a stronger secondary wall around the more sensitive servers.
I was referring to actually being absorbed. If I sent a radio transmission in the direction of the moon, Some of the waves will go around it due to the waves not traveling in a straight line. With a laser, the light might be reflected, but it probably won't continue to move in any direction close to its original path.
Room for all scans. We have an over-abundance of computing power to process these signals as is evident with sei@home. Why is searching using radio signals wrong? Once the sensors are built, there are millions of people willing to spend their cycles analyzing your data. I believe there is room for both projects, and many more.
Also, won't most stellar bodies block laser light , whereas Radio signals will tend to 'bend' around them?
Great just because we are putting linux everywhere, do we have to do the same to Quake? Playability has got to be quite limited. I'm glad people have the ambition to do this, but this seems to be straying from "pure hack value".
Are we going to have to sign a license agreement to buy one of these now like all of the 'net-only' computers? Or will it be implied that we won't tinker with it like the cuecat?

Yes, I know it's from Sun so it's probably stable. I'd hate to see it crash.
Grid-Lock sucks.
C'mon guys, it's a Friday

That's all I need... The piulot gets a cold.... I get on the plane..... And he sneezes turing take off. Boom!

I believe the 0g they are talking about is during the descent, not the trough or apex.
Already thought of :
Space Ads
Well sorta' anyhow.
Is reading printed material a true saving of energy? How much power is really saved? It seems that printing would use more energy(and resources),
Nah, I'd say that transformers corrupted our youth if the previous author is correct. We were all set and fine until OOP came around. :)
Don't get you panties in a bunch, it's a joke.
vi? emacs?
NO!
gijoe vs transformers vs gem (for our female geeks)
my collection of ansi screens that I converted from .gif's to .ans's for the use on my old bbs?
Anyhow, I think it will come down to intent. The origin isn't what qualifies it as kddie porn, but what the actual nature of the image does.

Prior "wire techs" labelled nothing. It would be a month long job to figure out. We do clean it up as we upgrade though.

On a side note, is there any downfall to this?

They person who tripped over the line must've been running full force. We can yank on our cords quite hard and never pull them out.
Wouldn't the true reason they went to jail be becuase of the Scam and not the Spam? Has anyone gone to jail for purely spam?
