Well, this technology may actually exist in the lab (though I'll believe it when I see it), but getting a 12 year old to create their website at http://www.colossalstorage.net/mainframe1b.htm ?
Seems like they are getting too excited and shooting their load off early. For example, in their 'comparison' table with current technologies, they quote.. 10 terabyte Sony 4.7 GB rewrite DVD disk drive @ $595,560 my calculations, based on me buying cheapo Princo 4X DVD-Rs at the markets for AUD$.50 ea, and a DVD burner for $200 gives me 10TB of storage for AUD$1265. I guess a small markup for DVD-RW?
Unless these dickheads are buying a DVD burner for each disc, I can't see how they justify their figures.
more creative accounting: 1 Colossal drive uses 12 watts/hr versus 120,000 watts/hr for 10,000 Hard Drives
uh, using an array of 1GB hard drives? why not use a massive array of 4MB MFM drives, or 400kB washing machine drives as a comparo to REALLY make your vapourware look good, I mean shit, my 120Gb hard drive uses -much- less power than a warehouse full of punch card readers.. aint progress wonderful!
Whatever happened to Flourescent Multilayer Discs?
Unless it contains decent punishments of course, like say.. Dragging the Spyware foisting bastards out into the street and shooting them in the back of the head, or some sort of testicle electrode device (like a "home detention" prisoner, goes off whenever the spyware "calls home")
How about a Gmail invite generator? Probably do-able if folks post there (used) gmail invite URL.
ie, the parent post was a-621ffb71a8-f9a9e31f19, which is obviously hex 10-421443367336-1072297090841, If people post a few more we can figure out how they are generating them, and it's a simple process to make a keygen from there.
Oh Boy!/me rushes off to patent "a money-minting machine"
wonder if I can patent the concept of making money via fraudulent / nuisance patents...
Rambus may have prior art though, phooey..

Unfortunately, It is rapidly becoming Soviet Australia.. Just ask any gun owner. :(
There's lots of us in Canberra.. Muahah :)

funniest. post. ever.
I am not a consumer, I am a free man!
And you would have won a free Gmail account.. Oh, wait...
It is, but I can't see it being useful.

Pretty interesting stuff..

Duke Nukem Forever? I'm guessing it'll cost around 300 NuCredits a month after it comes out in 2085..
Should be great though!, I can't wait!
I'd rather burn my money than give it to Telstra.
I live 8 miles from Parliament house in Canberra, and I can't get anything faster than 33k dialup.
Doesn't look like that will change until late 2004 when TransACT finally roll out in my suburb.
Not Happy, Jan.
