  1. Re:Not Engrish on NTT Develops Stamp-Size 1GB Hologram Memory · · Score: 1

    I do think it was Engrish:

    Is data transfer rate about which?
    As a portable prayer, because it is necessary...

  2. Re:Link to FICTION article. on Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released · · Score: 1

    It also says Using anything other than plain ASCII text on websites or in e-mail is a guaranteed way of terminating your net account, Sherlock. Of course it's a fiction piece.

  3. Re:So, why did the sale happen so early? on Own a Piece of An Apple-Based Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    but apple really wanted the PR of having the computer cluster, and perhaps to list the revenue in 4Q2003. so i can't blame them - looks like a fair deal.

    You fool. Apple wanted the PR, so they forced the G5s down VT's collective throat. Yeah, right.

    Why couldn't VT hold their horses?

    Because they had a deadline to meet if they wanted to make that Top CPUs list.

  5. Re:It's Black, It's Boxy on It's a Laptop - It's a Desktop · · Score: 1
    It's what you get if you take a beige box, glue the monitor stand to the top, roundoff the corners and make it out of plastic.

    Very radical. I'm sure we all could use some more clutter in our rooms. Would you prefer to string power cords to each one of those boxes, or have them run on AA cells?

    It's easy to criticize "boring" industrial design, but it's harder to suggest something that actually works.

    The DARK DARK Blue cd's (not light blue, the only brand I know of like this is Verbatim) *600* hours.
    I was under the impression that the recent Verbatim CD-Rs aren't dark blue, but rather a pale yellowish-green color?
  7. New online music venture clothed in Napster brand on German Constitutional Court Blocks Napster Suit · · Score: 2, Informative
    Napster may be long dead, but the name and the ``kitty'' logo of the pioneer online music-swapping program could return to cyberspace before the year is out. Santa Clara-based Roxio Inc., which owns the rights to the Napster name, plans to shelve its current online music service, pressplay, and roll out Napster 2.0 by Christmas, Chris Gorog, Roxio's chairman and chief executive, told The Associated Press.
