  4. Space image of the day on Crab Nebula by Hubble · · Score: 1

    I tend to get my space image fix from NASA, but this looks good as well. I will be adding this site to my daily round of websites to procrastinate with. **clicky**

  5. Re:Mostly independent? on First Quantum Byte Created · · Score: 3, Funny

    We are qubit 7 of 8 or computing matrix 65536. We will will add your cryptographic and entangled distinctivenes to our own. We are the qubyte. Resistance is uncertain.

  6. Re:Que? on First Quantum Byte Created · · Score: 1

    You are correct. A qubit can be in a 1 or a 0 state. However, can also be in both at the same time. Therefore, it can be in 1, 0, 1/0 or 0/1.

    I think. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong.

  10. Re:Wait a second there... on I2hub Shutdown Due to Legal Pressure · · Score: 1
    As far as I know Internet2 still uses IPv4. But there is a push to implement IPv6 in order to -
    • Resolve IPv4 address exhaustion issues
    • Preserve of the original End-to-End Architecture model
    And, according to some information I found online, they do still wish to run concurrently with IPv4. Here's a link to a powerpoint presentation about it - http://www.greatplains.net/activities/meetings/mee ting-20020418/presentations/SteveCorbato/SteveCorb ato.ppt

    I'm not on I2 or anything, so anything I've said here is second hand from info I've got online.

    Two words for you - "Region Encoding"
    They do know that people want media to work in other countries, but they actively try to stop it. Also, look at the sheer number of multi region DVD players out there to see how completely futile this attempt is.

  14. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong, but... on Quantum Computing Regulation Already? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sort of. There is a branch of Quantum computing that will detect any eavesdropping called Quantum Cryptography. As soon as the eavesdropper is detected, whatever they see is rendered useless by the uncertainty principle (I think ... someone more intelligent than me will probably explain it better)

  15. Re:Nintendo's comeback! on Revolution Least Expensive Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    I know I'm being trolled and this is majorly off topic, but what the hell. The DS is an older console compared to the PSP; how did the DS owners feel at the equivalent time in the DS' lifetime?

    Also, consider Burnout Legends, Star Wars Battlefront II, Medevil and GTA San Andreas. Four excellent games, IMHO.

    Slightly more on topic, I will probably be getting a Revolution. The controller intrigues me and I don't really care about the lack of HD support. I agree with the parent that Nintendo are the only innovators left in the industry.

    WorldWind ... Uranus ... Naah, too easy.

  17. Re:I wonder on View the Moon in 3D on Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the 20m per pixel resolution will put paid to that. I don't think any of the landers were more than 20m along any one side, so I doubt they'd show up. And if they did, it wouldn't be in any easily discernable form.

  18. 20m resolution and the landing sites... on View the Moon in 3D on Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    I guess this means we still won't be able to see the landing sites in enough detail? Maybe someone with more knowledge can explain why we can't provide a higher resolution for these images if we can see celestial objects millions of light years away...

  21. 7th Guest & DarkSeed on What Scares Game Developers? · · Score: 1

    I remember playing 7th guest with my brother and thinking that it was one of the most atmopheric games ever. We were only about 7 or 8 but it left us pretty twitchy.

    While Dark Seed wasn't a very good game (puzzles weren't as good as Monkey Island for example), the creature designs and backdrops were very creepy.
