  1. Sounds like "Ghost In The Shell" on The Hivemind Singularity · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the 'Cyber Brain' implants from Ghost In The Shell. The military or group application seems exactly like the section 9 in the series.

  2. Arrogant to presume no life. on No Intelligent Aliens Detected In Gliese 581 · · Score: 2

    Just because there are no detectable radio signals doesn't mean there is no life, it may just be pre-industrial. WWII pushed us into the modern era. Without that we may still be using megabytes or even kilobytes and leaded gas. Maybe there is a planet with a single race and less aggressive tendencies, they may develop in a different fashion, while being advanced they may not be pumping massive RF for long-enough for us to detect. Not every species is going to be or was as addicted to TV and Radio as we are.

  3. Ideal mesh backup AKA CrashPlan on 60TB Disk Drives Could Be a Reality In 2016 · · Score: 1

    Even half this space would yeld sufficient space for a 'mesh' backup network AKA crashplan software for a good size organization, with a solid gigabit or 10 gigabit switch on your network, a full cross backup could be completed overnight even for a org that produces a lot of multi media content. One exiting option would to do a full then differential snapshot backups for all pc overnight to a central server with a box of these drives. Any major problem with a pc and you can just re-image yesterdays snapshot.

  4. Re:Waiting for... on Hitachi Promises 4-TB Hard Drives By 2011 · · Score: 1


    Yeah. That's me backup in a backup in a backup >>>

    Seriously I had my full music library nested 3 times over. When I backed up, I left the main folder on the other drive and absorbed it into the next backup as so on. Very sloppy management on my part.

    Now that I have a new laptop and am retiring the 5yr old desktop I plan to manage data much better.

    Not that I have a choice on a 120gb main drive and a 160 external versus a 300gb+80gb + 160 external.

    Too many drives just make for a mess of data.

  5. Re:a "novel" idea. on Handling Interviews After Being a Fall Guy? · · Score: 1

    Maybe his boss was bad at prioritizing? After a while 'bosses' can end up not knowing a lot about the best way to do certain things. The people doing them day after day have opportunity get more hands-on experience.

    This is just my personal experience. I do see where you are coming from.

  7. Re:Anything on the router level? on Rethinking IM Privacy For Kids · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's possible or practical. Closest thing IMHO is a LIVECD, and no network connection.

    Sorry but I just don't see any other way besides just no computer at all. Try a typewriter, without any computer junk to distract them they should achieve a good WPM.

    where is mention of this software on your webpage ??????????

  9. Re:"work" on Gamers Itching To Switch To Macs? · · Score: 1

    Some hardcore gamers are dicks and constantly in danger of dropping/failing out of college. TRUST ME, while in college ive seen many people pack up their dorm room by midterms, because they were failing, or housing found out that they withdrew from all their classes.

      One such example spent the semester amassing half a terabyte of music and movies; he evenly sold his whole setup when he got kicked out of the dorms.

  10. Re:Something makes me think that... on Sony Plans Digital Distribution? · · Score: 1

    You acctualyy have a bandwith limit??

    GOOD GOD!!!

      Here the only real limit is if you maybee pass a hundred gigs in a week. And then ITS would look at what sources/destnations, before they distrubed you with a phone call.

    right now there is no free academic debate, just "if you dont agree with me".. then you are part of the "homosexual comspricy.. blah blah blah" , or " you hate women...blah blah balh"

    YES, it is the law that profit must be maximized, one time henry ford, decided to stop paying stock dividends and use the money to create a scholarship program. He was sued and the court ruled that maximum profit is the LAW, and non investors are nobodys, no matter what 'good' might be served.
