  1. Re:Still skeptical on 1TB In A Cubic Centimeter · · Score: 1
    See this company which doesn't mention price, but does state a 48" L x 20" W x 12" H unit with a power supply that's 24" H x 23" W x 38" D and this article which mentions a $60k price tag when they were first developed.

    Doesn't seem that big or costly . . .

  2. Alright just a cubic centimeter on 1TB In A Cubic Centimeter · · Score: 5

    Keep in mind that they don't mention the size of the equipment needed to interface with this tiny chunk of glass. While it probably doesn't take up a room or anything, it would also need to bee minimized for any actual space savings.

  3. Re:um what about the GPL? on Linux for the PlayStation2:It's Official · · Score: 1

    Let me clarify: Where the heck is the download link?

  4. um what about the GPL? on Linux for the PlayStation2:It's Official · · Score: 1

    Isn't Linux GPLed? In addition to selling it for 200 bucks, don't they have to make it freely available?

  5. Like GI-Joe! on Mood Home · · Score: 3

    I can see it now! Battle damage 4 bedroom homes. Temporary obscene graffiti by kids with ice water in their super soakers!

  6. Simple on What's the Oldest Web Page? · · Score: 1

    This one probably came up first and is available on almost every computer in existence.

    All software products are algorithms.

  8. Re:Does anyone else hate its name? on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    Boohoo, they call it a Playstation, and I've been working it for weeks, but the dang thing still won't give me any play! Or the genesis for the second system Sega made. Hmm . . . . nope, nobody cares.

  9. Go Zilog! on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    Am I the only person who didn't realize that the GB still used a Z80 processor still? Too bad, they finally went to something good, but MAN! The Z80 has driven everything from the Osbornes of old to TI claculators to the Game Boy!?!?!?! That rules!!!

  10. Bad things: on Reaching Unsanctioned TLDs With A Plug-In · · Score: 1

    1) Idealab has a plethora of nonexistent companies listed on the front page of their homepage as partners.
    2) How could they possibly put a Napster comparison into an article so blatantly unrelated!!!

  11. Big Deal on Samsung Introduces 24-Inch LCD · · Score: 1

    The Phillips-Magnavox Plasma Screen is bigger and better for only $2000 more. OK so it doesn't have DVI in. . .

  12. Re:Ouch! on Marine Corps Testing Maser for Anti-Personnel Use · · Score: 2

    This is the same technology used in the anti-missile system the Israelis deployed on their border. It has many uses

  13. Gov't jobs . . . on What Are Government Tech Jobs Like? · · Score: 1

    are the same as regular jobs, but you have a security clearance. And you have a lot of regulations about travel and other stuff. Contractor work is generally more likeable though.

  14. What a shame on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    And the only sure thing is that Vin Diesel is going to suffer because of it.

  15. Looks like you've got it down already on OpenSource Banner Exchange? · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that you've gotten decent exposure by asking a question tangential to your project and getting that link up there in the story for thousands of /.ers to click. You've got an uber-ad!

  16. What in the heck? on Where Is My Heavy-Duty Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Do you do to your mouse???? Aren't they still under warranty after 3 mos.?

  17. Simple on How To Really And Fully Wipe A Hard Drive? · · Score: 4

    Put it under that gun that shrinks quarters. Give it to a friend. Say "Hey man I compressed my hard drive" :)

  18. They're all artists on Where Is The Line Between Programmer And Artist? · · Score: 1

    The jist of it is, programming isn't as much art because the end goals are defined and refined continually throughout. The artsy stuff is artsy because the end result is not predetermined. Sure it's gonna be a tree, but it could be cartoony or real. And it's not gonna be pretty to everyone. Of course I've seen some butt ugly code, but that's not the end product. What the code produces is the end product.

  19. Re:Geeks and toons on Interview With Tenchi Co-Creator Hayashi Hiroki · · Score: 1

    Discuss. Well can't ignore something as authoritative as that!
    Geeks are more comfortable with having childish interests. This due to exclusion by the people who made up the word geek when they were little kids. And also, other geeks saw this stuff in Japan and it spread well. It's good entertainment. I know lots of people who aren't geeks or nerds who love the stuff when they see it, they just haven't seen it yet.

  20. Why not a filter? on Will Flat Screens Save Your Eyes? · · Score: 1

    My experience with these devices is good, and almost everyone sells them. While you may not find them easily for larger size monitors, that shouldn't be a problem if you've been working with laptops. Or if you're not opposed to paying more, get one of the Phillips flat HDTV's. We've got one at work and it's spectacular. Expensive and not the best with every video card (we had to use an ATI to get it to work well *cringe*), but when you get used to it, it's hard to go back.

  21. Classic Dating Question on What Will Human Cloning Mean For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    Will go from "Does she have a sister?" to "Does she have an exact genetic duplicate?"

  22. College reimbursement on Reimbursing Employers For Training? · · Score: 1

    Training, well not usually of equal caliber with college courses, should be treated similarly. Most companies will contribute towards continued education if it benefits the company by your continued presence there. Likewise job training is an invesment which should be repaid. Conversly it shouldn't be an unreasonable requirement.

  23. It's not like the SAT's meant much before` on Cal Schools May Nix SAT In Admissions Process · · Score: 1

    I got rejected at 80% of the colleges I applied to and I had a fifteen something on the SAT. I was indignant and got what I deserved. A good school knows how much leveity to give to the SAT's.

    Um, what are the odds that it'll be known down to the second?

    And even when you think the stories are over, you'll get one about the divers going thru the wreckage.

  25. Re:Good Luck on Distributed Video Systems Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    To get around the legal issue of rebroadcasting, he could always install an optical network. That is, a bunch of, mirrors which would reflect the screen to different rooms. And then use the aforementioned CGI script to control channel.

    But seriously doesn't a rebroadcast involve time-shifting? Just don't store it. The network would then be the same as my mirrors.

    As for Java, behold!
