  1. Re:Why is this under science? on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    ok, so trivially debunk it for us all... Have you studied the data? Have you tried to influence random number generators, and get your friends and family to do so? Your statement, like Science, requires irrefutible evidence...

  5. Re:GCHQ on Secret Agents Hold Code-Breaking Contest · · Score: 1

    I live in Harrogate, 5 miles from RAF Menwith Hill - the UK owned but US run "Communications Relay" station, which GW himself has said is a vital asset to the US. I dunno which they would go for first. GCHQ or the hill.

  6. Re:Once again, why needless use of Javascript is B on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 2, Informative

    He specifically said html 4.01 strict, not html 4 transitional....

    In strict, frames and target= are depricated

    you can not jog or run with a hard-drive mp3 player

    I jog just fine with my iriver. No skip whatsoever... works just great

  9. Re:Daring Fireball covered this on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked · · Score: 1

    I do not buy hd players because moving parts fail

    Most hard drives are ultra reliable, heck they come witha 3 year manufacturers warrenty. I run 4 machines at home, and have a total of 6 hard disks, never had a problem with any one of them. Admitidly, I'm not walking round the street with them in my pocket, but I DO carry an iRiver everywhere I go and have that about 6 months without any sign of trouble.

    Moving oarts are not so unreliable really. Flash memory has a finite number of write cycles, I have no data bu I would imagine that they would both last a very long time. I would much rather have 40gb on tap than carry a library of flash cards around with me! Battery life on flash players is obviously better but again that's not an issue with my iRiver, 16 hour life between recharge is more than adequate, and the new zen touch is 24 hours (yes, I've tried it - my daughter is getting one for Christmas)

    For me, it's hd every time... the capacity issue is what is more important to me.

    omg! "Two steel tines (parts of a fork lift) weighing 80 pounds each were accelerated by the magnet striking a technician and knocking him over 15 feet resulting in serious injury. (6/5/86) "

  15. Re:They could get better speed on Another Internet2 Speed Record Broken · · Score: 2, Funny

    >>The Library of Congress is quite compressible

    I do hope you mean that the data content within the library is compressible... The building itself is quit tough to compress!

  16. can the disks cope? on Another Internet2 Speed Record Broken · · Score: 1

    Such a blazingly fast connection is amazing, but how the hell do they get the data onto and off the pipe? Are the disk read and write speeds up to that? What about the ram? how the hell do they do that!!!

  21. Re:Really? on Math Whiz Breaks Calculation Record · · Score: 1

    huh? roots != factors?

    so, 2 * 2 * 2 = 8... is the 2 a root or a factor? It's both.

    What you should have said was roots are special case factors.
