  1. most data is lost on CERN Collider To Trigger a Data Deluge · · Score: 1

    When I was at a tour of the facility a couple of years ago I asked how they could store so much data so fast. They replied that in fact most (80-90%) of the data was lost instantly at the collision but that they could selectively record certain amounts of data that they would use to validate theories.

  2. Re:Total cached page limit. on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 1

    Thanks, what a silly feature. I use Firefox a lot but when its memory use gets to 100+ megs I have to essentially restart it to reclaim my memory. It has been really annoying. I guess I fall into the 60% minority of web users that don't use that feature.

  3. Re:i know it might be a stretch but... on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but at the current 30 feet they'd have to blind not to see the house where the microwave oven/ access point is beaming from.

    Spinning around trying to find the signal strength might not help after a few days without food.

    Maybe with a built in GPS sytem and use the LED to beam the map out of the ring would be better. Or with one of those super LEDs you could make a beacon and just shine it up (of course trying to avoid any airplanes).
