  1. Re:Probably not enough DVDs/sec on Bandwidth Challenge Results · · Score: 1

    Assuming 2 dvds per second, thats around 7200 dvds in 1 hour. assuming streaming, a movie takes around 1.5 hours which is around 10800 users per 1.5hour.. I'd say its feasable.

    So if you are dying some person who is a fuckload nicer than you may save your worthless life.

  3. Better then real life testing on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster · · Score: 1

    Glad to hear that the Military are going towards simulations to test their new fangled gadgets rather than catapulting chickens and sending poor test pilots on flights that are most likely going to make them sterile (or worse) :)

  5. How to fool an eye scan on Cry To Beat Iris Scanners · · Score: 4, Funny

    I recently had a bad fall and ended up in hospital (no need to mention the shopping trolley and the amount of alcohol that caused this situation)

    After some standard tests, the doctor spotted that one of my iris's (sp?) was larger than the other, which had something to do with the head trauma.

    Basically that means that if you need to pass an eye scan, just drink lots, grab a trolley, fall on your head, and nothing will be able recognise you by your eyes any longer as the features of them will have changed.

    (probably talkin s%$t, but i could be right, right??)

    This technology would be purely for database read speed at the present moment, though down the track I would imaging that this technology will be used to rapid access, Read only, operating system storage. Basically to make idiot proof operating systems for future, high speed computer systems.

  9. Virus Scanner Sales on Apple Uncommunicative About Security Holes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who is to say that certain virus protection companies are hoping that virus infections in OSX start to become wide spread. I know that most mac users do not use virus scanners, and the virus scanners that are available seem to only list windows viruses with about 1000 very old Mac viruses. To allow widespread security breaches promotes the creation of viruses, which in turn, promotes the creation and sales of antivirus software.
