  1. Google's parallel internet on Could the Web Not be Invented Today? · · Score: 1
  2. Radiometer on Laser Powered Paper Plane Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    I have a radiometer at home. It consists of 4 fins. One side is white and just reflects the radiation (sunlight), and the other is a special black paint that absorbs and re-radiates causing the fins to spin.
    If they coated the underside (or rear) of this plane with that stuff, wouldn't that cause the same effect and also allow for extra thrust during flight by zapping it again with more radiation?

  3. Re:how to quiet athlon xp or P4 without fancy case on Noise Control Stealth Tower · · Score: 1

    I'm curious how you setup a ramdisk root partition?
    What operating system etc...
    How much memory is required

  4. My first computer... on Slashback: 640K, Pioneer, Payback · · Score: 1

    had a turbo button from 4.77Mhz to 10Mhz.

    640kb (instead of 512kb), and

    a huge 40Mb HDD. And I thought that was great.

    I won't compare it to my Athlon 1600XP now :)

  5. Re:Looking for an alternative on Will CS Students Switch From Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I bought Office XP. And still used the MS Activation Crack.
    Why?
    So when I upgrade my computer, I don't have to worry about losing/re-registering my computer to them.

  7. Will this take off? on Limited-Use DVD Technology · · Score: 1

    I can't particularly see this taking off for a number of reasons. 1. How long will it be before the DVD's are cracked (if it is a software time limit) 2. When DVDR's become (very) cheaply available, won't people buy them, copy them for a substantial discount like people did with PSone CD's. However, someone thinks it will work and save money, so someone else will find a way around it and abuse the system.

  8. Re:Google Press Release on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if I were to cut and paste this email rumour. Could cause some interesting results :)

  9. Re:The article misses some key points on Java Native Compilation Examined · · Score: 1

    So I tried Jet-Excelsior today. It worked for me! But it didn't work when I copyied the .exe to another machine. What's the use when I have to drag these huge .dll's around? I might as well just install the jre on the other machine.

    Like ping www.microsoft.com with a few hundred universities?

    Ohno second - The minuscule fraction of time in which you just realised you made a BIG mistake.
