For the majority of users there wouldn't be much advantage in making the drive smaller - it would just be a lot more inconvenient to handle. I wouldn't want to have to resort to tweezers to pry the pendrive out of the USB socket:p
A hash of a hash? You mean something like SHA1(MD5('data')) ?
In that case, if MD5 is broken and 'data' can be constructed to give the same MD5 hash, the SHA1 hash provides no extra security. In fact calculating a hash of a hash reduces the security, as if ANY of the algorithms in the chain are broken, the final result can be manipulated easily.
I agree that it would open up a lot of interesting posibilities. Unfortunatly there would be a lot of problems with security. For example, it would be trivial to write a web page which sends spam using visitor's own SMTP servers, or bypasses firewalls to get data which isn't normally accessible to the web page owner.

I wrote my thoughts on the subject of life after death a while back.
Basically, you are saying that your consciousness might not be linked to the physical body and brain. However, we know that if the human brain is damaged, it irrecovably alters a persons character. If you die in this world, and your consciousness suddenly attached itself to another body/brain in another world/universe, you wouldn't be 'you' anymore. You wouldn't have any of the experience, memories, brain structure, etc which shaped your individual character.
Whenever life gets you down Keeps you wearing a frown And the gravy train has left you behind And when you're all out of hope Down at the end of your rope And nobody's there to throw you a line
If you ever get so low that you don't know which way to go Come on and take a walk in my shoes Never worry bout a thing Got the world on a string Cus I've got the cure for all of my blues (all of his blues)

Thank God. I'll be the first person to download and patch my PC version of "Grand Theft Auto." I want to shoot people in the face, bang prostitutes, traffic drugs, steal cars, and terrorize police officers without this filthy smut in my game.
We have repeatedly stated that we keep a TEMPORARY backup of the flash block we change - generally as a precaution in case we screw something up and need to restore the phone.
"People who are foolish enough to have unprotected sex... [deserve to die]"
The argument makes little sense. If it wasn't for STDs, it wouldn't be 'foolish' to have unprotected sex in the first place (assuming some form of oral contraception is used).

First to file? How is that supposed to work?
If I invent something, but choose not to patent it, can I be stopped from using my idea simply because someone else decides to patent it *after* seeing my invention?
While I can't say the above example would be applicable in my case, I sympathise with people like you who may be somewhat embarrased by the personal ads;)
Yeah, but smaller drives use more space, more power, and make more noise.
Not to mention if you have an array of 15 disks in a RAID-5, there's a higher chance of two failures happening simultaneously, than if you have only 5.

Damn... at first I read fishing as phishing, so the rest of the post didn't make much sense ;)

If the phone had CellTrack installed on it, we could have had more fun... ... but we found the prick, got the phone back, so I guess I can't complain ;)
I'll bite this troll.

So people can face legal action for copying an idea which isn't patented, just because it *might* be patented in the future?

Somehow I doubt it...
"The iPod was launched in November 2001 but Apple waited until July 2002 to file for a patent;"
I thought you couldn't patent an invention once you had publicly discolsed your idea?

That wouldn't be a problem, if not that the fact that it refuses to run under XP's reduced privellage mode.
Why would there be one, and only one universe?
Since it's clearly possible for a universe to start existing, why couldn't it happen again elsewhere?
Oddly enough, I haven't seen the Google watermarking recently. Did they remove this, or am I the only one?
Yeah, but smaller drives use more space, more power, and make more noise.
Not to mention if you have an array of 15 disks in a RAID-5, there's a higher chance of two failures happening simultaneously, than if you have only 5.
In that case Microsoft owns Windows XP.
I'm not sure how you're giving away your age. I heard it in high school 3 years ago, but I believe it's existed for a lot longer than that.
