  1. uh I mean the interconnects too on DARPA Looks Beyond Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    The physical layout is actually multi-layer already. It's on a single wafer though. Dope.

  2. amen on DARPA Looks Beyond Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    It's not a law. It's a prediction. Poorly named really. Do they call it Greenspan's law when he predicts lower inflation?

  3. they already are on DARPA Looks Beyond Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    Multilayer chips have been around a long time. Think it's up to 7 or 8 by now. This idea, which exists outside of time, has been discovered on earth indepedendently of you. Neither you nor the earlier discoverer created it.

  4. Enough with "moore's law" on DARPA Looks Beyond Moore's Law · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's just a wild guess. It has absolutely nothing to do with physics, which is the real laws we all live by. It has much more to do with human laws such as patents and copyrights that limit progress.

  5. Re:Article text, fsck registering on New WiFi Standards, Double the Data? · · Score: 1

    Actually it's only the idiots who give real information that they are stealing info from. The rest they are just annoying.

  6. What do you think about "tip jars"? on Ask a Music Producer/Publicist About Filesharing and the RIAA · · Score: 1

    No less a mainstream paper than the USA Today brought this up in an editorial. They suggested in the July 21st editorial that tip jars be provided to allow people to donate what they thought appropriate to a freely available song. Has this been tried with a mainstream act?

  7. Geek centric? on Wireless Growth & Wireless Interference · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yeah, mobile phones are for the stupid mainstream people who just like to talk. Wifi is for the future, intelligent geeks who need high-bandwidth data streams. Geek spin going on here?

  8. A chess article without Go mentioned? on No Magic In A Knight's Tour · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is this a /. first? Well I won't let it happen. Hey, screw the magical knight tour, how about solving 9x9 Go?

  9. Anarchy. on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    And geeks like anarchy, right?

  10. Re:Strictly technical discussion possible? on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    I never said that's how I want them to be used, I said it should be possible to discuss them that way. Aren't we technical people? There are plenty of places to get moral and ethical discussions, but few to get scientific discussions.

  11. the answer...defense technology. on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    The answer to technology is more technology. What are ways to defend against this? What are ways to fight back (detecting stockpiles or such)?

  12. scary? Is that an intelligent thing to say? on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think it's fascinating. Only stupid people think it's scary.

  13. Strictly technical discussion possible? on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    Especially among nerds, isn't it possible to just discusss, coldly and clinically, the technology, without regards to ethics or morals?

  14. How about a higher court of reason... on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 1

    ...declares copyright and patent law illogical. Kind of like how that one judge wants the "higher law" of the ten commandments in the courthouse.

  15. Status of resistor-based solutions? on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 1

    That seems more elegant certainly than an external webcam or lava lamp. I'm not sure what happened to these that were supposed to be on Intel chipsets.

  16. Asking for ten years is the problem... on Computer Expectations of Today, and a Decade Hence? · · Score: 1

    It should be eight, or sixteen years. Decimal is the main thing holding us back.

  17. Learn to use weapons. on Playing God with Monsters · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you want to do research that could be controversial, learn to use weapons. There's no point reasoning with these illogical religious loonies. The only way they can affect you is through weapons (their own or the government's). Don't stop lobbying of course, but learn how to use and shoot guns (while that's still legal).

  18. Step away from the computer, please! on The Diamond Age · · Score: 1

    Flawless, beautiful gems for cheap. *silence from the geeks*. You can get married now! *more silence*. It can be used for faster computers. *Loud cheers--inform slashdot as fast as possible*. Don't be as obsessed with computers as the mainstream is obsessed with inanity. Isn't there a middle ground somewhere?

  19. no, that's not the point of gift economy. on Higher Education Committee Releases Report on P2P · · Score: 1

    They should be selling CDs for cost of making/sending if they want. The idea behind gifts is to let the buyer set the price. Unusual, but it makes sense with a non-scarce resource. One person with means will donate enough to cover those who donate less. The better you like it, the more you give.

  20. copyright was never a good idea on Higher Education Committee Releases Report on P2P · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Your web page still doesn't take a solid stance that copyright is always and was always evil. It should be removed through a consitutional amendment, even after the law has been repealed.

  21. keeper wow! on Higher Education Committee Releases Report on P2P · · Score: 1

    Hmm, how come when I say this I get down modded. Oh well, good to see this. Remember, repeal, do not compromise. Do not ask that the time limit be 20 years. Ask that it be 0 years. By the way, do you have any links to music that accepts donations? Prefer .flac or other lossless.

  22. Open source? I'd like to donate. on Interview with SLASH'EM Developers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I want to further the gift economy if I like it. I'd like to donate to something. In fact if I can't donate I'm less likely to be interested.

  23. music for donations? on Rio Announces Networked Ogg Vorbis Player · · Score: 1

    I've actually been looking to get music that is freely available but accepts donations. I'd like .flac or other lossless if possible.

  24. unrelated distraction on EU IP Enforcement Directive Criticized · · Score: 1

    Making an instrument and composing music are entirely different things. That person in a box thing is interesting...do you have information on it? Language clearly is a dumb thing to expect (especially something like German). But drop a piano in there and you might just get the "Mary had a little lamb" tune.

  25. You get to use Ogg too... on Rio Announces Networked Ogg Vorbis Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...but someone else may donate twice what your share should have been.
