I winder if CDROM drives and HDD can benefit from multiple lasers which themselves use a scanner like hexagonal reflector to rapidly scan 5/6 tracks of the cd, and you have about 100 lasers reading, then you can cut down wait time like this?
Isn't this like building a scanner with two scanning heads? (and uses a different type of light source?)
I guess we are all wondering, what is the storage medium, what is the non-volitile medium that we can all trust our data on.... and can it be corrupted using off the shelf doomsday data guns!
I am curious for sure... just need details... you can never be too careful in this post dotBomb, bomb, bomb economy.
This may be high speed but:
limited capacity $$$$$$$$$$
in which case they might use it for storage in some databases apps. [?] or if it has very special data retention properties could be useful on space missions or certain storage.
If it *is* 10% of the cost of a HDD and hugely faster, then we coudl all have nice little fobs on our car keys that carry all the cars service histories... hmmm not a bad idea!!!
a key fob that stores you cars service history! (or the car itself, or the car keys...)
Well... here is hoping *remembers first 20MB hard disk, codenamed 'air-raid siren' on the amiga *wipes tear*
Release a rumour, have some 3rd party effect, then fade away.
Just take it from infineon, SCO and now kodak, it works!
Anyone see a patent for this anywhere? Sounds really stupid to me, and I keep thinking of any obscure religion that has April 1st today (because of diff. calendars etc.)
Well I can imagien it will take as long as it has taken platter technology to give us these capacities and speeds right? So maybe in 10-15 years we will use these vibro-storage devices.
I can see a porn tie in somewhere here... just not sure where...
Does the processes and technology used have to be patented and available to license?
Or is this a thinly veiled attempt for some P2P R&D? Get everyone to think about best ways to reduce costs of building space bound military hardware, then censor the shit out of them and refine it and kill people.
Can we see open technology for space travel? At least give other countries a chance to catch up with US super star war bombs and lasers and death stars.
The idea that we should escape the world and live in space...
Why not jsut say lets live on water? Sure as heck easier to get to, and you can have sub-aqua settlements for those hoping to have gone to space.
Benefits of living on water:
No rocket accidents Cheaper to ferry supplies Less Gamma radiation If the global warming occurs, water prices (like land prices, get it!) will plummet! Coastal regions will always be prime real-estate! (for the land views) You can use desalinisation to drink sea water, you can use devacuumisation to magic up water in space. You can have solar power and wind power and wave power. You have a comfortable 1G, and sea level air pressure, and a salty air that will put a healthy hue in your cheeks. Topless sunbathing. Can move around the oceans, and fish.
Benefits of being in space:
0g sex wearing silver clothing
Well I can think of a few more arguments, but going to space 'to live there' is so dumb, living in the desert is easier and cheaper than living in space. Many poor people with camels already do it!
Recycling and filtering our pollution is easier than recycling and rebreathing space station air.
Terrorist attacks are worrying on a space station, which brings us to the question:
So why do people want to go to space and offer prizes for new space technology?
Not for living! not for Star Trek/Wars/n!
But for commercial flights, transports, satellites, RIAA, Micheal Jackson and Military purposes.
So there, I hope we are all done pandering to the space race, as we will be living int he oceans before we live on mars.
Actually, we will all be dead from all the new space weapons.
I think they call it 'chocolate tin' style. Where all shop windows are made of 100 panes of lead glass, everyone has rosey cheeks, dimples and wrinkles where they smile.
Eyes glint, and teeth shine.
I would also say coca cola ad... does this movie feature coca cola or is this submilinal?
When somthing gets too real it gets judged by a different part of the brain, whereas a comic gets judged by the same part of the brain that understands writing and maps, a photo of a person gets looked at by a different part of the brain (or those synapses make a pattern that eventually gets a response from the complex and random flood of chemicals we call our brain)
It will be a feat to try and step over this point, make something so realistic that it is not flawed enough to sound alarm bells... but this requires more work making things look less real in a way that makes them look more real. (i.e. less perfect)
For now, less realistic things make you feel more comfortable, and this is a seperate but similar issue as to why in the future we will choose human looking robots or obviously man made robots.
JUst to note, that the article does bring up some fairly interesting bio-diversity and software diversity issues, but fails to realise that the worlds most #1 used internet server and and smtp libraries are far less buggy and exploited than thier M$ counterparts, so the whole article tends to fall apart.
it smacks of an article written to be published on/.
The problems are not the fact that C/C++ can overflow faster than a toilet at a "bulemics anonymous all you can eat buffet" - but that M$ do not invest the time to make functional (hah) code secure, well tested, and usable (with right features) because they *know* that by the tiume this gets an issue, they will be flogging us the getCurrentYear() + (Math.random()*2) version.
Thier bad programming works in thier favour.
Now, C/C++ are pants for making sure you cannot pwn teh w0rld easily. M$ just doen't help things.
Now Jaaaavaaaaa on the other hand *overlooking bad implementations of MIDP with a rush to market on antiquainted handsets* has a nice little bytecode security thingy TM(C)(R).
Unless you use a non-official JVM which may not bother with such things..Net sucks, after using it solid for 6-8 months, I say that with conviction.
Java is fairly damn l33t, after using it for 4 years solid.
Yes, it has problems (name one problem it has that affected me, and you win an ascii cigar!)
The Republican party must find a way to reach out to these people or at least somehow counter the perception that Republicans are racists.
Or actually act the right way, and show initiatives that bring people together in communities, one way is to quell the misrepresentation of 'black' criminals rife in the US media today (that is out of proportion to crime figures etc.
I watch the aweful truth where Micheal Moore had a Day Glo Orange Wallet Exchange Program (DGOWEP) that was great for bringing this issue to the forefront. Also the African American Taxi was quite good, the faces of some posh white people when he said thier area was 'too rough'.
Recently, I was in a shower in Korea, and the shower knobs were smooth and covered with soapy water. I could not turn on the cold water, and I was almost scalded. I suggested that the management go to the hardware store and buy new handles for the faucets, ones with rougher knobs. This would be possible due to the standards in the plumbing industry that set the size of pipes, screw pitch, etc., and allow you to put several different styles of knobs on the end of the pipes. If Microsoft had built the hotel, they would have to rip out the entire piping system, all the way back to the water supply on the street and replace the entire thing, just to allow me to use a different manufacturer's knobs.
Freud would have a field day on this chappy!
OK it was immature. and fun! (it worked if you saw the subtext)
I hate people claiming ideas were thiers. Unless it is muffin tops, that kind of idea isn't just out there.
As far as I am concerned, these may be similar, but they cam about through different thought processes.
Konfab. was built out of small development processes, make a product, niche market, way-hay $$.
Apples little tools are designed from a desktop usability perspective, trying to re-enforce or evolve the desktop analogy.
Now isn't konfabulator just a COPY *SHOCK-FUKING-HORROR* of those little applets you have in *step?
Or even, the first dockable apps, or minimisable little small tools.
So thier idea is small applications, is that it?
Why not patent them and SUE Apple, that would be as successful as getting our sympathy.
Two^H^H^HThree ideas that were mine
Optical router - uses prisms or other light refraction and lazer light which maps frequency to an ip, and instantly routes fequency light to a physical output (a cable)
I googled and shit, and found something (ONLY ONE!) paper that made sense and seemed to do the same thing, oh, and a patent similar.
Second idea that is mine, but I never really bothered with
[disc: this was before those photo printing kiosks, way way before]
Use *an electircal device* to scan the mylar of a negative film, in total darkness (the user drop it into a slot) this scan can read the elecrto-chemical properties of the negative, and scan it without processing it (like discharging a CCD - albeit a complex chemical emulsion)
Then I worked out exactly what they have today, uincluding all formats etc, and ftp, email outputs, and all kinda of funky one click publishing
This was 4-5 years ago, when digital camera were a bit queer to us all.
Of course, I thought about simply using cdrom and CF media and mcamera media, and bluetooth (when it came out I thought of it) and IR and shittzle like that.
3rd idea of mine
Sell electronic data - not via web, but using IR and bluetooth, and have small kiosks that young-uns can easily access, and using BT or IR, grabs games, naughty pics, music, shizzle like that.
Now, I can't even see *THESE* as patentable, even if noone thought of them.
Also, for some reason, some high end training material and applications used to be sold in CD format, with all the information.
By simply printing a copy, binding it, and attaching the CD (about 0.0000000...001% of the costs) the customer thought it was worth an extra grand or so...
I think there should be regulation of the movie industry, and of course, where there are regulations, there are things that break regulations, and if they do, and are edited to not break regulations, you can call this censorship.
I personally preffer tougher regulation of graphic violence and sexual content in films, for the simple sake that hollywood ponytail spivvs will see:
sex and violence == $$
and we will have the silly trash we have on the movie today (see showgirls)
I thought bad boys 2 was far too graphic, and badly written at that.
I am not imposing anything on you, just stating my own preference in this mad world.
Just like, I preffer mustard and ketchup together, if you don't then fine.
I would go to a regulated cinema for normal movies, and adult cinema for adult movies, and perhaps 'gore houses' for gratuitous violence.
Just don't paint these under a fluffy cinema experience.
Games however, I like 'em bloody and gratuitous, go figure.

I saw your pic here: http://www.detechnologies.com/biopage.htm
You look like a spivvy wanker, I hope there is no Mrs Spivvy Wanker for you to torture with your small penis.
Don't think you can pwn the internet else we will track you down, and monitor your network traffic, voice calls, toilet frequency, choice of floss and diethabits, until we find that little pressure point, and apply pressure, with a jack hammer.
Thank you.
Dear Penny Arcade,
I would love some nice juvenile rhetoric aimed at these bitches. They may increase costs of games online, or stop the whole idea of tipping artists and micropayments.
Oh did someone patent online busking yet?
The plan is:
1: Take something from reality 2: Put 'e' in front of it 3: ??? 4: Profit
Where 3: is usually just pretend to makea fake product and sue the shit out of people until you go SCO (which is lingo for fucked now I hope).
So:
1: Selling to johnny-foreigner 2: e-Selling to johnny-foreigner 3: Sue Dell 4: Wander around looking where they stached your penis, except you have no arms, and they spooned one of your eyes out.
My first year of uni the ecommerce module, which I just hacked out myself, thinking, I need this.
For fucks sake, just because noone was doing it, I have the internet, I had (at the time) asp, I made an ecommerce site.
Why the fuck would I patent that? I hate these guys.
What I hate about patents is, they take something that is so remedial and simple to us, and they make is sound special, and beyond our grasp, and that we should thank them for it.
Amazon make a $$$$$$ empire on thier own (lets overlook thier fuckwad patents right now) and they do not need some egotistical squirt saying that noone else could have figured this out, and he was th eonly one, and gee, it is worth so much.
This is so fucking wrong, why the fuck can this happen. Next thing you know someone will say Bush got relected.
*slaps own face to wake up*
How did they get NZ patent and shit? Does the USPO have intl. reciprical links with other offices?
For the intellectual crowd, we just shudder and think, what the fuck are these guys doing, trying to take away intellectual freedoms because of thier small penises.
Official, DE tech employees all have small penises
http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/jun 20 00/te000628.htm BUSINESS WEEK ONLINE, Wednesday, June 28, 2000 - DE Technologies has patented a technology for processing sales worldwide -- easily -- via the Internet...
I plead that Dell doesn't do a Sun (oh how I am sad that they didn't beat Kodaks furry little arse to hell and back, I feel like suing Kodak just to be a speck of grit in thier eye)
MAYBE I WILL PATENT THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS
Fucking arseholes. Pardon my english. (technically it is French, which is why we say 'pardon my french' and if www.gaurdian.co.uk makes a policy to *have* 'fuck' in every single fucking story, then maybe we should. Fucking fucks)
I agree, this is what is happening, i wish larger new sources would make connections like this, but, oh wait, they would probbaly be sued because of the stupid US laws.
Hang on, didn't SCO say something about limiting legals costs?:-)
Suing bittorrent would be like suing tim-berns-lee for http.
bit-torrent == http == ftp == smtp.
If I email someone an MP3 are you going to sure Outlook makes (please pelase say yes, and I use thunderbird, but sue M$!)
Right, 35% I am not suprised look at my previous posts on bittorrent, I predicted that ALL internet traffic will use this, so even 'http' pages will use a bit torrent architecture, either at client level, or as a higher node level, like proxy level.
If the technology comes good enough for d/l web pages quickly via a torrent, then we may enjoy a more balanced and quicker routing internet.
Of course, right now you wait 30 minutes, then it does its magic.
I agree with 'commodity' in the sense that MS have cut thier embedded prices to hook the market in and castrate them while they are naive.
However, now in long term, if MS have done what i think they have done, the development costs for moving away from winsucks might be a little wierd.
Then they will jack up thier prices and laugh a hearty fat bellied laugh.
Then quick as a flash HP says, oh Python runs on Linux as well, lets try this:
BOFH style *tap clickety click tap*
It runs linux! omg wooooo lets open up all our sources, and have huge jump in sales, and everyone will write little visualisation plugins asnd neat gadgets and stuff for our playthingy.
So if they do abstract the OS from development, then good.
I hope Dell, HP, IBM etal will really really push linux onto handhelds.
Dell, I have 4 of your PDAs, give me something I can work with!
You can have 100% GPL software and charge $10 Million for it.
GPL doesn't define its price tag. Only your rights.
You can also release it under two licenses, one proprietary for instance, which gives no rights of modification or distro (or no source!!) for free even, and this is free beer, but EGADS! you cannot tinker.
NOW, linux distros can just charge for a download of the kernel, but they wouldn't do much business, they charge for thier whole package, etc etc, which, wow, is like free commerce ain't it, but like, even better.
I have an overwhelming urge to hug trees right now...

Cheaper to ferry supplies
Less Gamma radiation

You can use desalinisation to drink sea water, you can use devacuumisation to magic up water in space.
You can have solar power and wind power and wave power.
You have a comfortable 1G, and sea level air pressure, and a salty air that will put a healthy hue in your cheeks.

from the interview
Recently, I was in a shower in Korea, and the shower knobs were smooth and covered with soapy water. I could not turn on the cold water, and I was almost scalded. I suggested that the management go to the hardware store and buy new handles for the faucets, ones with rougher knobs. This would be possible due to the standards in the plumbing industry that set the size of pipes, screw pitch, etc., and allow you to put several different styles of knobs on the end of the pipes.

Fucking arseholes. Pardon my english. (technically it is French, which is why we say 'pardon my french' and if www.gaurdian.co.uk makes a policy to *have* 'fuck' in every single fucking story, then maybe we should. Fucking fucks)

THey cannot set up in NZ (maybe they want to go to NZ for legal reasons?)
Because the MZ dudes are pissed off by thier patent, and see it as a conflict of interests (obv. somewhere like NZ relies on import/export a lot)
So fuck you DE!!!!
I agree, this is what is happening, i wish larger new sources would make connections like this, but, oh wait, they would probbaly be sued because of the stupid US laws.
:-)
Hang on, didn't SCO say something about limiting legals costs?
Suing bittorrent would be like suing tim-berns-lee for http.
bit-torrent == http == ftp == smtp.
If I email someone an MP3 are you going to sure Outlook makes (please pelase say yes, and I use thunderbird, but sue M$!)
Right, 35% I am not suprised look at my previous posts on bittorrent, I predicted that ALL internet traffic will use this, so even 'http' pages will use a bit torrent architecture, either at client level, or as a higher node level, like proxy level.
If the technology comes good enough for d/l web pages quickly via a torrent, then we may enjoy a more balanced and quicker routing internet.
Of course, right now you wait 30 minutes, then it does its magic.
I agree with 'commodity' in the sense that MS have cut thier embedded prices to hook the market in and castrate them while they are naive.
However, now in long term, if MS have done what i think they have done, the development costs for moving away from winsucks might be a little wierd.
Then they will jack up thier prices and laugh a hearty fat bellied laugh.
Then quick as a flash HP says, oh Python runs on Linux as well, lets try this:
BOFH style *tap clickety click tap*
It runs linux! omg wooooo lets open up all our sources, and have huge jump in sales, and everyone will write little visualisation plugins asnd neat gadgets and stuff for our playthingy.
So if they do abstract the OS from development, then good.
I hope Dell, HP, IBM etal will really really push linux onto handhelds.
Dell, I have 4 of your PDAs, give me something I can work with!
Das ist alle.
You can have 100% GPL software and charge $10 Million for it.
GPL doesn't define its price tag. Only your rights.
You can also release it under two licenses, one proprietary for instance, which gives no rights of modification or distro (or no source!!) for free even, and this is free beer, but EGADS! you cannot tinker.
NOW, linux distros can just charge for a download of the kernel, but they wouldn't do much business, they charge for thier whole package, etc etc, which, wow, is like free commerce ain't it, but like, even better.
I have an overwhelming urge to hug trees right now...
