  1. Re:Needs constant power on Why Not Solid State Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    STORE power? For LATER use? Are you CRAZY? Man, take your science fiction thinking and your crazy moon language to alt.99mpg.on.a.cup.of.water -- this is slashdot, a place where *some* of us look for high quality information.

    (darn, I need to recharge my laptop. I'll be back to flame you more later. ;)

  2. Re:Is this research into superconductors? on Nobel Prize In Physics For Bose-Einstein Condensate · · Score: 1

    Careful -- "best" doesn't suggest what it is best AT. You're right, that all superconductors present zero resistence, but a superconductor that does this trick at room temperature would be "better" than one that required exotically cold temperatures. And one that tasted like chocolate would be better than either of them.

    In fact, it might very well be "best in show."

    You see? You can't just say "best" -- you have to say what dimension you're measuring. ;)

    mmmmmmmmmm chocolate superconductors .... grrgldrool....

  3. Re:Open Letter to Phil on Blaming Encryption · · Score: 1

    I have to echo the thoughts of others here -- you are not one of the bad guys. While it's right to weep for the dead and missing, it doesn't mean that your hands are somehow stained with their blood.

    Set aside for a moment the question of whether the terrorists used PGP. One thing is for sure: they used DID use airplanes. Does that suggest that airplanes and their inventors are somehow to blame? I dare say that the ghosts of Orville and Wilbur are at peace in the knowledge that this wasn't their fault and that the terrorists alone will answer for their crimes. The undeserved pain, doubt and regret you're feeling is just another wound inflicted by the terrorists.

    Be strong. There's a huge community of people who are behind you.

    When something is everywhere, the body learns to deal with it.

    Are you sure about that? I mean, MSFT is everywhere and...oh, nevermind.
