  1. Re:Or in other words... on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 1

    Hmmmmmm. 1.44 million 100GB hard drives does not seem like such a large number. How many of those did WD, Maxtor, Seagate, .... sell since they were released? I seriously wonder if it is possible to address all recorded digital information in even 64 bits.

  2. CRC still censors..... on The Return of Eric Weisstein's World Of Mathematics · · Score: 1

    http://br.crashed.net/~akrowne/crc/math0.htm

  3. Unreal? on Game-development on Compaq iPaq · · Score: 3, Funny
    Fathammer founder Samuli Syvähuoko helped write Unreal, a 3-D demo that ran on old 386 PCs

    I wonder if the engine could be rigged to run something else by that name.

  4. Re:release often on Kernel 2.4.14 is out · · Score: 1
    it's not unusual for a development kernel to go above x.x.100.

    I would not call it "not unusual" if something only happens once.

  5. Talk to my advisor? on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1
    Talk to your advisors, too. That's what they get paid for.

    Hmmmmmmmm. That sounds about right. The advisors at my college are the professors in the department where you major in. That means that our professors are paid to advise students instead of teaching, which is an accurate statement, unfortunately.

  6. Re:A4 size? on The Dream Handheld · · Score: 1

    If Xerox e-paper is foldible, why not position all the "hard"-ware in such a way that the whole thing can be compacted into something a little larger, and three times thicker, than your hard drive.

  7. Jack o' Windows on All Hallow's Eve · · Score: 1

    Hollow with a crappy facade that reflects the true face of its creator. No wait, that's Windows!

  8. Terrorism on All Hallow's Eve · · Score: 1

    Put on a Cowboy Neal costume and you will be fried harder than bin Laden under the new Anti-Terrorism bill. Just imagine what kind of a traumatic experience the kids will have.

  9. Light... on Dark Matter Measurements · · Score: 1

    ..sabers in a scientific site? This is just another perversion from the dumbed down culture we're in. Well anyway back to the topic, I was wondering what kind of a gravitational effect light has on the universe. As we all know, there are ALOT more photons in the universe than any other (non virtual) particle. Perhaps if light, or rather the energy contained in the photons, had a gravitational effect then it may plug up the discrepancy that dark matter is supposed to explain. Just my 6.02*10^23 cents.

  10. Another number base on Ternary Computing · · Score: 1

    Didn't I read somewhere that reality is encoded in some kind of "dense base one" number system. It would be interesting to see memory elements that can store an indefinite amount of information at one address. (Sorry for not remembering where exactly I read it)

  11. Re:What are they filming? on Large-Scale Video Archiving? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you have smart "hubs" that connect to a small (1-30) number of cameras. This way you can save ALOT of network traffic by doing motion detection and compression all at a local site. I'm no security expert but wouldn't it be nice to have a firewall, also embodied in the hub, between the camera and your central server? Oh and another thing, what about installing sonar detectors while they are at it. I think you can find some pretty cheap and they can act as much better intrusion detectors than normal video cameras :-)
