  1. Re:Get a Sansa Clip instead on iPod Shuffle Finds Its Voice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actual the Sansa is 1.35" x 2.17" x 0.65" = 1.90 cubic inches = 5 shuffles, but your point still stands.

  2. Oblig Futurama quote on National Debt Clock Overflowed, Extended By a Digit · · Score: 1
    but I can't help wondering if we should be fixing the problem rather than the sign

    "Of course since the debt is growing and growing it takes a bigger clock to measure it each time. Thus solving the problem once and for all!"

  3. Re:What is the use of anonymous networking? on Tor Anonymity Network Reaches 100 Verified Nodes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the great benefit is allowing people to hide from censorship, how about having a whitelist of sites that can be visited through your Tor Server?

    A good start might be all the appicable sites currently blocked by the great firewall of China (e.g. BBC and goolge).

    I know I'd be a lot happier to run a server if I knew that my computer would not be publicly accessing dodgy stuff.

    Admittedly this would somewhat limit the usefullness of the tool, and there is always the question of who decides what is on the list, but given the potentail number of new people that would start running servers I think it would be good if this was at least an option.

  5. Re:Understatement of the week? on An Introduction to IPv6 · · Score: 1

    2^128 = 10^(128 * log 2) ~= 10^38.53

    So 2^128 10^80.

    In fact there is only 1 IP addresses for every 10^41.47 particules

    Very roughly 1 IP for every 10^15kg of matter in the unverse.

  6. size isn't everything on Chi Mei Announces 20" Active Matrix OLED Display · · Score: 3, Funny
    From the caption

    'World's largest 20" OLED full color display'

    I'm I the only one that thinks 'world's smallest 20" display' would be more impressive"
