  1. This will block legal file transfers on Kazaa Forced To Modify Search Engine · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here is an example of one of the song names that was a part of the complaint against kazaa "Yellow". This basicly means anyone searching for "yellow something" is going to have their download blocked.

  2. Inifinite storage. on Breakthrough for Quantum Measurement · · Score: 1

    If this really works and you can read states then we have just found the ultimate information storage system. 256 qubit disk would store way more bytes of data then there are atoms in the universe.

  3. Very nice but its very obivous on Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5 · · Score: 1

    Only works with programs which can read the file. Its vary obiviously (both documents encoded in same file).

  4. Re:It's not MS bashing! on Bram Cohen's Response to Microsoft's Avalanche · · Score: 1

    Except Bram didn't even bother to read the whole paper and made false claims such as that avalanche doesn't solve the problems with verify blocks when it clearly does. Atleast MS did some research even if its 4 years out of date Bram just didn't bother to do it at all.

  5. Re:Asterisk on Chat Online with Cordless Phone · · Score: 1

    Umm if its patented then the specification for the compression is public so wheres the problem with reverse engineering it?

  6. Re:Single Dictator? on Hyper-Threading, Linus Torvalds vs. Colin Percival · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Linux developers can fix it but the fixes won't go in linus says what goes in and what doesn't.

  7. Re:Well actually on Nanomaterials Used in Possible Cancer Cure · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes they cells can develope natural mutation but they will only occur in one person they don't spread like normal infections so for all but the most unlucky individuals it won't be a problem as we will have multiple attack stratergies.

  8. Exactly what did the test CGI with? on Red Hat/Apache Slower Than Windows Server 2003? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Notice the total lack of the CGI script?

  9. Re:Room Temperature on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 1

    Ehh hows this any different you have gas discharges that contain super heated plasma?

  10. This is not room temperature!!! on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 1

    1. When heated, ...... so A) its not room temperature
    2. The ionized deuterium atoms then accelerated by this field towards a solid target of erbium deuteride (ErD2). B) Temperature is a measure of the average kenetic energy of the particle well I think accelerating particles would increase their temperature and in this case by heaps.

  11. Re:This is good news on NSA Announces New Crypto Standards · · Score: 1

    Can you name any public key system that can't be broken easily with a quantum computer?

    in this paragraph.

    "Someone asked me the other day why there's no comments anymore here, but I'll let the transressors explain it. Basically trying to keep the comments clear of spam and idiots was taking far too much time for a site that's supposed to be my personal waste of time. It's too bad some people can't discern between one's career and one's personal web presence. They could have at least told me where they work so I could come down there and "terrorize" it, whatever the hell that means besides being an annoying asshole. I hope at least one of them had a nice time jerking themselves off afterwards.".

  13. These sorts of batteries don't use capacitance. on Nanotech Brings Battery Life Extender for Mobiles · · Score: 1

    These sorts of batteries don't use capacitance to store energy so how would changing it effect anything? As I have like 1 subject left in my chem degree I say this is a load of @#$@#$@#$

  14. Simple fix on Data Transfer Has A Speed Limit · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Basicly we will just go back to using multiple headers ( so writting in parrel ) or switch to other storage methods other then magnetic storage.

  15. Re:windows any one? on SCO Licenses Now Available · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has lisenced UNIX so they don't have to worry about this. Though can I please ask everyone to contact the Ineternational Standards Organisation ( ISO ) and please ask them to revoke the POSIX and C standards ( You know the programming language C ) because this lisence which is not reasonable or non discriminatory. ISO standars are required to comply with a RAND ( reasonable and non discriminatory ) policy and since POSIX and C implementations require code that has similar functional ect with SCO UNIX this means you have to buy a lisence from them.

  16. Re:Driver strategies on Futuremark Replies to Nvidia's Claims · · Score: 1
    When the output goes to a normal 32 bit framebuffer, as all current tests do, it is possible for Nvidia to analyze data flow from textures, constants, and attributes, and change many 32 bit operations to 16 or even 12 bit operations with absolutely no loss of quality or functionality.
    Pitty nvidia didn't just do that with their compiler in the 3dmark saga they went of and replaced the shader with a different one.
  17. You think your cpu is produces heat?? on Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for US Military · · Score: 1

    This is like carrying around 1000 cpu running at full speed you think a heat sink and fan is gonna cool it?

  19. Re:The Car will run LESS EFFICIENT!!!!!!!! on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 1

    but if you alternator isn't producing the extra current for you electrolysis then there is no extra magnetic force oposing the movement of the alternator.

  20. The Car will run LESS EFFICIENT!!!!!!!! on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 1

    Okay basicly you are sperating the water turning it into hydrogen and oxygen then burning it again. Now you can't get more engery back from burning then you had to put in. So your running engine to power you battery then you using that power to turn water into hydrogen and buring it in your engine. Basicly you have formed a cycle system and if any stage isn't 100% efficent then you loosing energy. Yes hydrogen engines are usefull but only if you making the hydrogen using a more efficent fuel the petrol.

  21. a side note about developement of ecc on Using Memory Errors to Attack a Virtual Machine · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I Believe I could be mistaken but the guy who made up the finite state machine for ECC had a mental break down. Making something like that is very complex I wonder how long parity checks which offer no correction where thought to be state of the art.

    If we have physical access or full system access why not just change the JVM code letting us do whatever we want? and if u just wanna stop it and you have full privildges why not just shut the system down? and if we got physical access why not just pull the power plug? This would be usefull if it didn't need full access or physical access.

    Omg this is soo much better then we get in australia most users who can get broadband pay a similar monthly fee and get 3-5 gigs of data at 512/256 kilobit or pay more like 50 US$ for 1500/512 kbit. I would so love this here in australia :/
