  1. Re:login id on War Driving Version 2.0 · · Score: 1

    How about setting up a caching proxy to the nytimes times. Or a few to spread the bandwidth.

  2. Re:They are using time travel! on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Well all they are really saying is that their algorithm takes up more cpu time than is practical.

    "ZeoSync intentionally randomizes naturally occurring patterns to form entropy-like random sequences through its patent pending technology known as Zero Space Tuner (fuck you mark)"

    Someone took those goofy pi jokes to heart. The corny ones with the main theme; Every program written is contained in pi, you just have to find the offset. Which in turn means that the offset is a form of encryption that happens to be smaller than the original file.

    Now if these guys were truly onto something the implications for data storage would be increadable. However, they've admitted in their press release that the cpu usage is impractical.. they just haven't said how impractical, yet.

    If Echelon's existance were admited... They would end up loosing it to any robber that is smart enough to pronounce the word.

  6. Theory of Evolution on DNA To Solve History's Mysteries? · · Score: 1

    I got an idea... Why don't we use this new found DNA technology to prove to the bible [t]humpers that humans evolved from ape-like animals... Whats that you say? We've done that already?

    :P

  7. MSN All over the Place on InterNIC Redesign · · Score: 1

    Before I go into my bomb shelter...
    I took a look through their services.. Which are composed mainly of MSN services.

  8. They seem to be having fun... on InterNIC Redesign · · Score: 1

    I saw this yesterday, the homepage was different..
    It had all dot com (tm) plastered all over the place, along with a lot of 404 erros.

    Could someone explain to me why this move was made?

    I also saw a $117 price tag to domain names, but I have no idea what they switched it to now.
