Actually, this couldnt have less to do with data storage (you cannot really focus your femto-second laser down to spotsizes lower than what we currently have in HDs, plus there is no real way for a femtosecond source that not bulky, wastefull and expensive).
On the other hand is the switching of magnetic domains by the polarity of a circular pulse an archivement in itself. But of course fundamental research doesnt interest anybody, so they have to create a stupid "next storage medium" out of it.
Google maps, google earth, picassa, google goups, youtube, ect, all were just bought and relabled the microsoft way. Give it another 2-3 years, and original developments at google will have gone the way of the dodo. As they all will have much better use of their time (like searching for ways to put those venture capital billions to some use).
Sorry, car stereos are the biggest pile of audiophile bullshit around.
The whole accustics of a car are horrible at best, and disastrious normaly. The speaker position in the corners of a stiff cage make for ugle interferences. If the motor is as little as running, the noise background drowns any kind of dynamic (not to mention if you are actually driving around).
I wouldnt know any place where you would see the difference LESS then in a car (well, maybe in a particularily loud airplane. But there you usually were headphones, so even with the noise there should be a better representation of the music).
Well, even more jarring is: he car gets 300bhp (which equals about 220kW) out of those 4 MW.
Just about 5 percent efficiency (compared to well over 25 for gasoline/Diesel/LPG internal combustion cars) show quite well why steam engines are obsolete.
The avogrado number is defined as the number of C12 in one kg. Not the other way round. If you look it up, you will see it to be known with much lower accuracy as the kg today. Thats because carbon isnt that suitable to be weighted (c14, activation of c12 by cosmic rays, ect).
There IS NO exact Kg. Its only defined to a value with a limited number of digits.
Lets say the current kg is exact on 9 digits. If you have any new definition, which has more digits (for example 22, as in the number of silicon atoms in one kg), it wont be the same number. Of course its not, as its more accurate. The new definition will be a NEW value for the kg, which is more precise, and within the uncertaincy of the old definition.
Thats the same way like when they changed the meter. It actually shrunk a few parts of Angström during the redefinition, but it didnt matter, as it wasnt reproducable to that extend before.
Well, how about thinking before dismissing it? It isnt just a wireless adaptor, it also got 2Gbyte of memory.
This means that if, for example, you shoot raw with 10 Mbyte of filesize (which is quite typical), you can take 200 pictures. If you are in a studio (or whereever else you have wifi),now every 10-20 seconds, one of them will be transfered away, freeing up that space.

Yeaha. Google protects the data from the Justice Department. But it DOESNT (and thats the point of the rating) protect the data from google itself. The google privacy idea is more or less "We are good. Thats why WE are allowed to do everything, and you WILL like it (trust us, we know you better than you do yourself)".
Wavelet based codec SUCK for video. REALLY REALLY REALLY suck.
You can get a bit of boost by compressing the I-frames with wavelets, and doing P/B frames classically, but that aint giving you much of a benefit, at the cost of having to worry about the convolution of 2 completely different error sources.
(and yeah, i know stuff like snow. Those actually prove that point)
In you first post, you mentioned a 500 Mhz k8 to be ok, and 128Mbyte ram to be fine. After the GP showed that its a 1 Ghz VIA (they are about compareable to an half speed k8), and 4 times as much ram as you demanded, you suddenly paddal back just to be able to futher nag around.
And btw, ALL performance is ALU. Where else should it come from. No need to use big words (or acronyms) in show how intelligent you are. You are not going to fool anybody anyway.
SD cards are CHEAPER than CF cards of the same capacity, and have been so for at least a year. Thats because few companies bother supplying that dying market anymore.
Add to this the fact that (HD)SD cards are now at 8GByte ($80, cheaper than compareable SD).
Result: THe only people buying it are those contrained by legacy hardware, and dumb suckers like you.
Core2 has 2 or 4 Mbyte l2 cache. 1 bit cache is 6 transitors == more than 200 of those 291 million transistors are high-density cache. (Density of cache is a lot higher than that of logic, which the 80 core cpu nearly solely is made of).
(Btw, i fucking HATE the "millimeters squared" expression. Its square millimeter. 275 mm squared would be more than 65 cm^2.)
"Lost has a pre-planned number of seasons". Yeah right. And i tell you what the plan is: Just noodling down the thing until you cannot quench a buck out of it anymore, than dumb it.

What exactly doesnt google buy nowadays?
Google maps, google earth, picassa, google goups, youtube, ect, all were just bought and relabled the microsoft way.

Maybe because steam engines arent turbines?
You know, Rankine cyle vs Brayton cycle....

Thats a strange way to read that post.
But if you define "us" as "bigot assholes", then i sincerely share the oppinion you claim the GP-poster had.
Basically, i agree.
:)
But i have to go there for my job, so i cant help it.
At least when i am there, in berkeley the facist police state isnt visible yet
You got it backwards.

It might last quite a while that way.

Sorry, but i think you _believe_ he exists.
The only way you could "know" he exists would be brain damage (i.e. implanted memory, or a result of trauma).
But we all know that the real original sin is DUST :)
Ha!
Banta-kun was the first thing that crossed my mind after i read the summary, too.
Come on, dont act like an asshole.

Its also not true.
For example, Giotto visited at least one other target after halley.
What do you thing that sound is?
Just another way to adiabatically compress a working gas...
how should a jam then in his arm, and why is he a masterfighter?
Otoh, fucking retard faggots like you should get the ass gangbanged to hell.

But i dont have a problem with roland. Everybody if fine to submit as much as he wants.
./ editors dont give a fuck and continue so put is submission on the frontpage.
What i DO have a problem with is the fact that
Yeah, we KNOW they are all idiots, corrupt and incompetend, by why not even try to hide it a bit?
Btw, is cowboyneal back from brokeback mountain yet?
Oh, they do. Or give me a patent or whitepaper for the technology they use instead :)
