  1. Holographic Storage on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1

    While this laptop may be bogus, holographic storage is not:

  2. Re:HP Needs Linux to Survive on HP Embraces Linux for its Toughest Servers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Having worked on HP-UX and AIX, I have to say that I don't see HP-UX as being inferior to AIX.

    My personal experience is that AIX seems quite unrefined and buggy. It seems more like a clone of Unix (than say Linux.)

    Perhaps I've just scraped the surface of both. I definately think Linux has more features than both HP-UX and AIX.

  3. Taxes on 100,000 More Social Security Numbers Exposed · · Score: 1

    Maybe some accountant gone cracker will do my taxes for me.

  4. Truly a PC? on Steve Ballmer's $100 PC, Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    Without a harddrive and such a limited applicability, can this really be the $100 PC? I guess it really depends on your idea of PC.

    It's an interesting contraption, but I wouldn't consider it a mainstream usable PC.

  5. Re:Not sure at $900, it's such a great value? on Tom Tom GO Personal Navigator Source Code Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    Walmart.com has it for $736.


    Sounds like $900 is a "suggested retail price."

  6. Spaceballs on Let the Mindgames Begin · · Score: 1

    I prefer to use The Schwartz!

  7. Java on Use x86 Boxes to Compile Mac OS X Binaries · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Ahhh, heck. People have had this cross platform functionality for years.

    It's called Java.

  8. C64 on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but can you hook up a Commodore 64 to it?

  9. Got the Bunny Inside? on Mars Rovers Still Going Strong, Mission Extended · · Score: 1

    Is NASA using Energizers?

  10. Wind Power on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not an expert on this but I believe you would also get wind off the river. So you could combine water turbines and windmills.

  11. Leather on Exotic Wood Computer Cases · · Score: 1

    I want one made out of "pure corinthian leather."

  12. Wally World on Inventor of Low Tech Fridge Wins Award · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting to buy one of these at Wal-Mart for $18.95.

  13. Stillsuit on Make Your Own TRON Costume · · Score: 2, Funny

    And if Tron-boy gets too bored he can turn his costume into a stillsuit and get lost in a desert somewhere.

  14. ThinkGeek on NASA Gravity Probe Set for Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can I buy one of these satellites on ThinkGeek?

  15. Ozzman Cometh on Homemade Subliminal CDs · · Score: 1

    Just dispense with your CD making biz and buy an old Ozzy Osbourne. Oh, wait, that might make you kill yourself; or at the very least stammer too much from all the drugs and alcohol you'll consume.

    I supect buying a CD from The Carpenters would do the same thing (and you could find it on the bargain bin.)

  16. Great Things to Come on X-43A Hits Mach 7 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think this finally points to a replacement for the space shuttle that was sorely needed. The shuttle is a decent space truck, but we need a cheaper (and safer) space "bus."

    Hopefully it will be designed with a space station or dock in mind. It's my understanding that the shuttle was retrofitted for in-space docking such that the International Space Station almost had to be built around it.

  17. Slash versus Goog on Google Traffic Takes Down Web Site · · Score: 1
    Well, maybe Google should feature Slashdot and vice versa...

    Let's see who wins.

    and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

  18. Re:beware! on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    I have a Denon AVR-3300 and it sounds pretty good powering my Klipsch.

  19. Denon AVR-3300 pushing Klipsch on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    You should seriously check out a Denon AVR-3300. It is solid, has 4 digital inputs (3 of them are optical) and supports 6.1 surround. It is quite fun to configure, and its on-screen display is pretty cool. Also, you can't go wrong with a good set of Klipsch speakers.

  20. Re:Excuse me! on 30+ GB Databases On Unix? · · Score: 1
    SQL Server and NT is stable enough to do TB sized databases. I think that SQL Server is actually MS's best product and I can't think of one that is more stable.

    The poorest thing about MS SQL Server 7 is the fact that its admin console uses IE (the most unstable creature in the Universe.)
