  1. Links, information... on Star Wars-like Holograms · · Score: 1

    This has been in the works since December of 2000.

    Google-returned links to (hologram) images are Here and here.

    -Berj

  2. Re: July 3? on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Even so - people will buy it so they can play on the official battle.net network.

    -Berj

  3. Re:If we can't beat Moore's Law... on Nanoimprint Lithography · · Score: 2, Informative

    See this post... Moore's Law deals with transistor density. Anyway, increasing the die size doesn't work when we're talking about operating at hundreds of thousands of gigahertz, because the propegation delay from one end of the die to the other becomes longer than a single (or even multiple) cycles. -Berj

  4. If Katz can say it... =) on Cops Have Got Your Number · · Score: 1

    Feel free to use "post-9/11", hehe.

    -Berj

  5. Re:Wiretap? on Cops Have Got Your Number · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're talking about an Inductive Wiretap. There's a brief blurb on the different types of wiretaps here.

    Now, I don't know if the fact that it's not physically connected to the wire makes it legal, but I'd think it does not.

    -Berj

  6. Re:Glib reasoning on Information Valuation - The Most Buck for the Bits? · · Score: 1

    What it comes down to, though, is thare you are paying thousands of dollars for ONLY the name and password. In other words, if you were able to get those two piece (20 bytes) of information another way, you wouldn't need to pay any money at all - you could just steal the account.

    Similarly, it's totally fair to say you're being charged $1000 for a KEY to a box with $1000 in it - for JUST the key. This is because if you were able to obtain a duplicate of the key without paying for it, you could just take the money from the safe.

    -Berj

  7. Haha, point proven! on Open Source Limitations? · · Score: 1

    They get a job?

    Yeah, they get a job writing software for a company like Microsoft =)

    Point proven.

    -Berj

  8. Hehe, cash prizes.... on Calling All Dungeon Masters · · Score: 1

    Wonder how much they'll be making off the new books? =)

    -Berj

  9. To be on the safe side... on Felt Tip Marker Defeats Copy-Protected CDs · · Score: 4, Funny

    I threw out all my felt-tip markers when I read about this... I wouldn't want to have any tools for the circumvention of copy protection around my house.

    -Berj

  10. Obligatory GOOGLE CACHE on Ultra Efficient Chip Cooling Passes Boeing Tests · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Some useful google caches:

    Main Page
    Technology (hype?)

    -Berj

  11. Re:One of the flaws on Using Google to Calculate Web Decay · · Score: 1

    This looks like something tossed together in a few minutes, just to get posted on slashdot =) Very thin on details and data.... Google itself should do this type of analysis - publish something like the zeitgeist

    -Berj

  12. CNN - story and picture on The Perfect Plate for the Nuclear Family Car · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Here is the story on CNN, complete with a picture.

    Enjoy =)

    -Berj

  13. Link to the page? on Google vs. DMCA and Scientology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where can I find the page that features "prominent link to another site that shows the complaint that the Scientologists filed, along with the delisted links" without registering for NYT? Someone post it, please? =)

    -Berj

  14. New processor features? on Interview With Herb Sutter · · Score: 1, Interesting

    No mention of IA64, or X86-64 =( I'm really curious to know if compilers will be in place to exploit these platforms, ESPECIALLY IA64.

    -Berj

    (hyperthreading, too?)

  15. UPTIME? on VoIP for the Masses! · · Score: 1

    My Verizon DSL line goes down every now and then... sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few hours. My phone line almost NEVER goes down.

    I wouldn't want my phone service linked to my internet service.

    -Berj

  16. Stop trying to karma whore... on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 0

    I can go to concerts, even if I disapprove of Ticketmaster... I can buy my favorite artist's album, even if I disapprove of the RIAA.

    The solution to "MPAA BAD" isn't to stop renting, buying, and going to movies.

    -Berj

  17. FIRST POST on Self-Heating Can · · Score: -1, Troll

    First time ever =) Sorry, had to.

  18. Haha, there's still a bottleneck =) on Finally Real P2P With Brains · · Score: 1

    The link to the IE plugin is slashdotted =)

    -Ando

  19. Good VIDEO and GUIDE for connecting the bridge... on Paint Yourself An Athlon MP · · Score: 5, Informative

    This could come in very useful when you're trying to MP-enable your chip.... or maybe you can unlock the multiplier and MP enable it at the same time? =) BWAHAHA.... Where else, but Tom's? =)

    -Berj

  20. SWIFTBOARD on Sites Wary of Adopting P3P · · Score: 1

    Couple of my friends work at this place... maybe this would be a better solution.

    Check it out: SWIFTBOARD

  24. Re:an incorrect assumption? on Jef Raskin Talks Skins · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Suuure... you're just trying to double up on Karma points so your monthly subscription cost is reduced!

    -Ando

  25. Re:More resources.. on Nuclear Mutant Flies Are Good For Africa? · · Score: 1

    Uh, those are INCORRECT NUMBERS, but look at me, I can't edit posts on slashdot.... I posted a reply to my own post with TAKE TWO in the title that has the proper numbers.
