  1. Re:first post - no way on How Well Does Windows Cluster? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "... toolkit is used for creating and evaluating computational clusters" I really hate to say it but M$ would call any cluster of computers a computational cluster.

  2. liability on Microsoft Enters the Cell Phone OS Market · · Score: 1

    Will they (M$) be held liable when some one gets a BOD while making a 911 call?

  3. Re:don't use a RAM disk on How Many CDs Can You Burn at Once? · · Score: 1

    uh, no... You dont need drive sector info because you are not on a drive. Its just data.

  4. Re:Delusions on The Laid-off Techie · · Score: 1

    e.g Microsoft

  5. Re:Umm, depends. on How Many CDs Can You Burn at Once? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you mount the iso in RAM as a filesystem so all could access the same iso?

  6. Re:RAM Disk, not Hard Drives on How Many CDs Can You Burn at Once? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oh and another thing: 1.Why isn't there an edit post option? and 2.Using a service would save you from swapping new media 1,000 times if you make 10,000 at a rate of 10 at a time. I know a student time is cheaper than prison labor, but that cheap I think not. Spend your time doing real research (not that you aren't ).

  7. Re:RAM Disk, not Hard Drives on How Many CDs Can You Burn at Once? · · Score: 3, Informative

    hmmm, I really like this idea about RAMDISK. But don't forget duplication services like http://www.ctexinc.com/ or http://www.cd-rom-replication.com/ . Take your total cost of your design and weigh it against using a company like these. 10,000 cd's should run about $4,000.00 US

  8. Well at a glance.. on How Many CDs Can You Burn at Once? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    [(max bandwidth to drive)*(n disks)]/[(max bandwidth cd-r drive)*(n cdr's)] > 1

  9. Re:Not an expert in patent law. on BT Pushing Hyperlink Patent · · Score: 1

    I would also like to add that aussie that patented the Circular Transportation Enabler. AKA the wheel. These attempts at patent scamming are inevitable because all patent laws (every country)need major redefinition.

  10. This reminds me of Shawshank Redemtion... on Fossilized Dinosaur Vomit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Remember that part where they are looking for rocks? scientist 1: "I've found a new species of dinosaur that must have lived totally in a larval state!!" scientist 2: "Why, thats thats just vomit, Bill."

  11. Re:Whoa whoa whoa... on TiVo Watches the Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    "Anytime it makes a change to it's privacy policy, however minor, it sends a email to its subscribers explaining what the change is, and why it was made"

    And if they don't have a computer? Is is thought that email should be considered official contact. Well, it most certainly isn't. That is reform 1 of 10^128.

  12. The real weekness on Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft == Anti-Terrorist Device? · · Score: 1

    You all seem to be forgetting why the WTC collapsed. They hit high enough up to weeken the load bearing outer skeleton of the building. I would venture to say that any explosion or impact could collapse them.

    The steel gets weeker as you go up. Name you weapon and you could probably do it.

    You would have to realize though the steel gets weeker as you go up. Failure in even the top couple floors could cause that professional looking achordian effect.

  13. Re:What's worse is on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    That horrible thing is that most universities use you SSN as primary i dentification on all documents, including tests and attendence sheets. I inquired about an alternative number and they said they never heard of a way too. I have read many places that you can put all 0's in place and it is legal, but if the database looks up SSN's you are out of luck getting whatever done.

  14. Re:I integrated my psOne into my car... on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    I guess on geocities you only exceed you data transfer allocation, not /. effect... Sorry dude, guess I put you over the limit. Got to see the pictures though.

  15. price on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    Its hard to get people to work for free, but he must since he didnt include labor in the cost.

  16. Re:National ID card on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah thats right, they are too "soft"ware

  17. National ID card on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 2, Insightful
