  1. What ever "everyone" did this? on Computers That Solve Problems Without Being On · · Score: 1

    Mitchison and Jozsa's 'counterfactual computation' essentially taps into worlds in which the computer did run in order to extract the result into a world in which it didn't.

    Once all the other worlds caught on, no one would be running the problem, so everyone will just sit there waiting for someone else to do their work.

  3. Re:Buy Micron & Infineon RAM!!! on Rambus Loses; Vows to Appeal · · Score: 5

    I'm not sure about Infineon (anyone with Neon in their name can't be all bad), but I've always used Micron/Crucial RAM, and am very happy with it.

    I bought 4GB of RAM from Crucial, 2 Tyan Thunder 2500s, and ordered 4 PIII CuMines. I got the RAM and motherboards in normal time, but the CPUs ended up being back ordered for several months.

    After I got the CPUs I found that the RAM that Crucial had listed on their site as being compatible with the board actually didn't work with the board. So I called Crucial about an exchange. Since so much time had passed the first person I talked to didn't know if they could do it. But after they talked to a manager, they said it would be no problem. I got the exchange, and since RAM prices had dropped in the mean time, they gave me some money back.

    I have no problem recommended Micron/Crucial to anyone.

  4. Re:Communications cycles on New Fiber Optics In The Works · · Score: 1

    As a kid I knew the inherent limitations of a string based network, and chose to forego it for costlier, yet more flexible hose network.

  5. Re:Off Topic, but what's down with Slashdot today? on Banner Ads: Biggest Advertising Mistake Ever · · Score: 2

    Really? That's funny. If banner ads are the biggest advertising mistake ever, isn't it an even bigger mistake to cause outages because of them?

    Who knew, I was on topic after all.

  6. Off Topic, but what's down with Slashdot today? on Banner Ads: Biggest Advertising Mistake Ever · · Score: 1

    Anyone know what's going on with Slashdot. I keep getting either time outs, or rather interesting rendering of pages.

  7. Great... on X-43 Scramjet Rollout · · Score: 3

    Great, the Chinese will probally end up with this one too.

  8. Re:First cyborg? Not hardly.... on Testing The First Cyborgs · · Score: 1

    He probally says, "I have a gun, nobody move, and nobody gets hurt!"

  9. What option would you like? on Testing The First Cyborgs · · Score: 1

    As long as we are grafting cybernetics onto biologics what new options would you like?

    I'd have to go for the vision enhancements. I'm a very visual person, I learn best by seeing.

    I'd like spectral enhancements, nothing too crazy, just low infrared, and upper ultraviolet, but I want filtering so I can select on a small range of the avalible spectrum. Zoom would also be nice, again not crazy 48x would be good. But most important the ability to record what I see. A low power transmitter so I could save the images/video to a near by device.

    This is all I ask (probally wouldn't hurt to get the hearing done at the same time).

  10. Re:Effecient engineering on Is Your P4 Working At Half Speed? · · Score: 1

    Intel is rumored to be making a Xeon P4 that will have SMP capabilities.

    I'm waiting for an SMP motherboard for the Athlons.

  11. Re:T-Shirt. on Amazon 1-Click Patent Shenanigans Continue · · Score: 1

    I knew someone would not think what I wrote was that funny, but...

    I submitted a prior-art to BountyQuest that was probally better than the three that won prizes, and all I got was this lousey t-shirt.

    ...wouldn't fit on a t-shirt.

  12. Re:Classic RPGing on Rewriting The Past With Zelda · · Score: 1

    The NES was not a Z-80, it was a 6502, the Sega Master System/Game Gear and Nintendo Game Boy systems were Z-80 based, but not the NES.

  13. T-Shirt. on Amazon 1-Click Patent Shenanigans Continue · · Score: 5

    I destroyed Amazon.com's 1-click patent, and all I got was this lousey t-shirt.

    I'm going on a hunger strike right now.

  16. Everyone know something about Taco I don't? on Quake on IPv6 · · Score: 1

    The first three posts that I see at of above my '1' threshhold are about CmdrTaco and his bedroom activities. And all insulting. So is this a widely known fact, or just something a select few of the fastest posters know?

  17. Re:can't possibly be ALL of them... on All Digital TVs To Include Copy Restrictions · · Score: 2

    And don't forget the hardware hacking crowd, they'll have mods out for the popular sets/boxes.

  18. Re:Now give DC a keyboard, mouse, X & a browser! on Dreamcast Runs Linux · · Score: 1

    The mouse is out too. Have one at my house. Has a wheel and everything. Too bad it doesn't work with the current version of their web brower software.

  19. A little move I've been working on. on The Universal Planar Manipulator · · Score: 1

    Didn't Homer do this in the episode where the power plant employees were racing to a cabin? There was a bowl on the table. He vibrated the table until the bowl moved off and into his hand.

  20. Fibre Channel on 320 Gig HD in 1U Of Rack Space · · Score: 1

    Would be nice instead of some network file system, if they'd just give me the storage with a fibre channel interface.

    Again, these are probally IDE drives inside, cause Maxtor doesn't make SCSI disks (anymore).

    But then again, I don't care cause I built a 160GB thing just like this of RAID5 storage with an FC interface.

  21. Great Glass Elevator on Riding The Space Elevator · · Score: 2

  25. Time for a BIOS upgrade on .75 GHz Athlon Released · · Score: 1

    Most of the K6 motherboards I've seen support at most 5x100MHz for a 500MHz clock speed.

    What is 533 anyway? 7x75?
