You save and index a couple billion web pages on your hard drive someday... let's say at an avg of 10k a web page (random guess), one billion web pages takes up 10 terabytes of space. plus they all have to be put in the database for easy searching.
Not sure about jet fuel, but some chemical reactions (burning thermite is one) create so much heat that it actually splits water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, then the two fuse back together (the hydrogen burns) causing an explosion
It's pretty much DVD quality... 780xwhatever Super Video CD

I mean, you don't have to be a scientist to imagine the possibilities of a vaporous hard drive, with a huge capacity, that gets written to by a laser that changes the state of the atoms within. Drool..
Wouldn't it be hard to read off of said hard drive? How would you know which atoms hold which data if the particles in the vapor are floating around, mixing with each other?
Um, yeah, did you know that concert ticket revenues and such all go towards the people who funded it (the label) and very little of that goes to the artist, just like CD's?
ASM code translates _DIRECTLY_ into machine code - it's just a different way of writing it (i.e, mov ax, bx as opposed to A2 FF BC) (given you're using 'pure' ASM as opposed to a macro assembler)
Does anybody really use usenet anymore? everytime i've poked around on my ISP's NNTP server, it seems to be filled with 90% spam, and non-spam posts seem to always be grossly offtopic. And no, i'm not just talking about the alt.binaries groups either.
Well, it was just stated a little higher in the thread that Linux users might not need support
Then you'll get a bunch of John No-Nothing wanting this new Lunix operating system who can't figure out what "Login:" means.
Immagine hiring staff to help him recompile a kernel over the phone.
People are stupid... I put an alpha workstation (w/ red hat 6.2) in the paper once and got tons of calls asking me "can I play Deer Hunter on it and does this Linux thing run on windows 95, or does it require windows 98?"
did you ever take the disk out of a 3.5" floppy and try and tear it? i've never sucessfully torn one (though they all end up mangled byond regognition)

Here's a Google Cache of the site

your comment and your .sig contradict one another

Real common sense would prevent it from being passed at all

It requires faith in one's own intellect and reason. If your theory isn't proven, doesn't it require faith the belive in it?
I always thought they got around $1/CD?

Back in 1912 there was hardly an entertainment "industry"
Shift+click in IE requires two hands

So, why can't you use two hands?
OH, that's right, your talking about pr0n sites
He most likely means SMP
Can't this have possible legal reprocussions?
Wrong again.

No, you just have a really big nose.
Thanks, i'll give some of these groups a try
NOTE: This is actually a question, not a troll

Tera-BITS per second. So that would be 320 Gigabytes per second, so half would be 160 Gigabytes of MP3's.
Also, when you get into numbers this big, whether your using 1000 or 1024 bytes per kilobyte [or mega/giga/terabyte] makes a difference.
Using 1000: 1 Terabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
Using 1024: 1 Terabyte ~ 1,099,511,628,000 bytes
there's a difference of just under 100 gigs
Hmm, I think this ties in well with the previous article on Scientology.
Hey, Sen. Hollings is 'fair game'!

If only it would work on other platforms
Sounds a lot like a standard remote X session to me.

if the speed of sound is ~345m/sec, then it would be moving at just under 2x (1.96) the speed of sound.
you divided the numbers incorrectly. (345/676 instead of 676/345)
