That leaves you only.34 cm cushion, or.17 cm cushion per side. That's a very tight fit, and doesn't leave much room for vibration cushions. So assuming they overcome that, they then just have to deal with the fact that everywhere in creation that sells or packages media is set up for cd/dvd sized media, and now they'll be left fighting against that. In all seriousness, they should have cut back to 280GB and gone with standard format size. When a small company is trying to launch a new storage product, doing battle in the realm of physical format is stupid, particularly if your strategy is 'bigger' rather than 'smaller'.
You have to keep in mind, they'll be using advanced data compression. They probably only need in the range of 32 bytes or so of payload for their machine learning code.
Considering the number of scientists who have been looking at this over a number of years, I think it really is a credit to Goto's work. Optimizing at this level is very challenging work on modern processors.
Their software only has to succeed on one machine. From there, its learning power allows it to read internet manuals and discover how to infect more modern machines.
You've completely missed one of the fundamental rules of slashdot moderation. Mods do the opposite of what you tell them to do. Mods: I forbid you to find this post insightful!
It won't be supported, any more than aol keywords are supported (in fact, far less than AOL keywords are supported). Basically, these people are ripping off stupid businessmen who missed out on the.com domain goldrush and are afraid to miss out again.
Presumably, they'd make org/com/info etc reserved names that you can't register. They'd then be forced to revoke any dotless TLD that became a real TLD later. Presumably that risk will be covered by their contract.
There's a whole range, but the basic options are manual lever, motion sensor, and timed. Motion sensor are by far the most common in public accomodations in the US. Up to maybe 10 years ago, it was all levers, then the motion sensors took over. Timed are comparatively rare, but you do see them. Another common category is 'broken and flushing constantly'.
Note that your reply was probably too late to get moderated, the story was well off the main page by then.
So your post violated the 'early enough' rule, and hasn't gotten any moderation (and likely won't). Mine however was just in time to receive 3 informative moderations that I had forbidden the mods to give me.
Re:Which is actually cheaper, soda or ice?

You have to factor in that if they don't deliver you any ice, the soda isn't cold enough. So they get some ice-making overhead essentially for free, and only need to produce enough additional ice to defray your soda expense.
Besides which, eat at a restaurant with unlimited refills, and you'll have none of these worries.
Yes, using lemon juice as an acid and sea water for your salt, this is actually fairly straightforward. Not that you'll get anything like the power indicated on GI, but you can generate at least 10 watt this way, and light some small incandescent bulbs.
Must have been an incredibly dumb rich kid. It's hard for me to imagine how else you have enough spare money to pay $5k for an xbox, but don't see the numerous other options to get one cheaper.
Nerds who play games. I guess this is a sort of news, of interest primarily to nerds. Maybe there's a more appropriate site for this information. Whoever posted this should go find some internet site devoted to 'news for nerds'.
It's not so ironic as predictable. The mods will moderate you whatever you ask them not to, provided you post early enough, and the rest of your content is good enough to make them look.
Mods, I forbid you to moderate this post informative.
But just to be clear, if we find a guy driving a distribution truck full of these, we can kill him with impunity, right? Because if the CD never reaches the consumer, we'll have protected that property.

Wow, actually that's an interesting idea I hadn't thought of, thanks for posting, even if AC.
Ah, well it may be a misreading on my part. I took it to be a 30% improvement over the closest competitor, which I thought was quite impressive.
You can't fit a 13cm disc drive into a standard enclosure! Who do they think they're going to sell these to!

As funny as these comments are, that is covered in the first page of the article.

What you're missing here is that gamers are the new jerks. And we all know a woman can't possibly leave a jerk.

And you're proud, no doubt, because it is better to be an ass by choice, than to be born ugly. ;-)

It's 1.5 times as fast as your average flash, and only half as slow as your typical USB hard drive.

Thank you, that was the worst moderation I've gotten in quite a while.
... how to properly insult the stupid french over this. But then I saw that, really, this represents the french surrendering to our open source power.
Is the obfuscator reversible if you have some sort of key? Otherwise, how will you be able to maintain the code better than anyone else?
