  1. Re:Sweet! on Matrix 3D memory is World's Smallest · · Score: 1

    Well, you may be able to get 65GB in such a small area but what of the cost? I'm sure that optical storage will be much cheaper for a long time.

  2. Re:Sweet! on Matrix 3D memory is World's Smallest · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that. 128 megabytes is very small compared to the size of games today. Jade empire is over 5 GB, the cost would be unreal. I would love to see game companies move back to cartridges too, but unless there is a insane breakthrough in memory technology you will only see them in portables, even there they are dying.

  3. New iPod on iTunes Music Store Sells Videos · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder if this is a sign that the next generation iPods (which are bound to be out fairly soon) will have video playback.

  4. Re:But... on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are right, where I live you have order them and wait months for them to come in. To save $5000+ in gas you would need to drive so much. The only reason to really buy them now is if you are really concerned for the environment and have to own a car.

  5. A Trojan Horse on Testing Out Cell-Phone Viruses on a Prius · · Score: 1

    I wonder when someone will be able to install a trojan horse into a cars on board computer and disable important functions like, lets say braking remotely.

  6. In a perfect world on Nanomaterials Used in Possible Cancer Cure · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A good friend of mine found out today that she has inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). I would like to belive that a technology like this could help her, but I don't think that she will ever get that chance.

  7. Re:grammar old lady on Cell Phone Virus Threat Overblown · · Score: 1

    This post has become a grammar war, I think I'm going to copyright that...

  8. Umm Sanitize on Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features · · Score: 5, Funny

    So this will clear all my tracks automaticly when I, say look at the hardcore of porn?

  9. Re:MacNewsWorld? on Qualcomm Adopts Linux for 3G Handsets · · Score: 1

    Not really, you can install linux on a mac, it is not as good as it wouild be on a pc, but it could be done.

  10. I may not be a big city lawyer but.. on HP Deletes Negative Corporate Blogger Comments · · Score: 1

    I have never heard of this blog before, and quite frankly it seems like a waste. The only comments are those by thomashawk and David Gee, oh and another guy suggesting he has nice hair. Besides it is his blog, why can't he delete the comment? I think mr. Hawk is taking this a bit too far and Zonk should never have posted it.

  11. Re:Once again, Zonk lowers the bar. on How To Conduct Your Very Own Buffer Overflow · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lowered? I didn't think that it could go any lower.

  12. Really? on Phishers Using Keystroke Loggers · · Score: 0, Troll

    Next on slashdot: Humans require oxygen to live.

  13. Re:This post goes out to the humour-impaired. on Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    Man, you must've really wanted that karma.

  14. Re:And Furthermore... on The Dual-Core War - Is Intel in Trouble? · · Score: 0

    That was a pretty good burn. If I had them you would get it.

  15. Re:Domo Arigato ,Mr. YamuchiO! on Yamauchi Retiring from Nintendo's Board · · Score: 1

    It is amazing how each of those translations are so differnt. To really know a language you really have to be immersed in it.

  16. Re:everyone please on Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges · · Score: 0, Troll

    fuck I said this post wasn't a troll, I should get like +infinity insightful.

  17. everyone please on Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges · · Score: -1, Troll

    First of all, this isn't a troll, offtopic, overrated, post. I have been karma whoring ass off trying to get excellent karma so I can get mod points, in like the month I have had it I was given 5 points, this is bullshit. So long slashdot.

  18. copied? on Next Generation X11 · · Score: 0, Troll

    To me a lot of these effects are just copied from OS X.

  19. Now on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 2, Interesting

    people who play everquest for a living can actually play everquest for a living.

  20. Re:Lets just hope it isn't too revolutionary on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 1

    The game cube uses a proprietary disk developed by panasonic. It is amazing for preventing piracy because they don't sell blank disks nor recorders.

  21. Re:It Doesn't Matter on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 1

    The DS and the revolution are in two differnt markets. 4-5 years between major console releases is pretty much standard.

  22. What I never understood... on TrekUnited Campaign Ends · · Score: 1

    was why paramount didn't consider their offer, how much did they raise? Somewhere in the millions? Was it ever said how much it would cost to produce the season? Now all the sets and everything are pretty much useless. Enterpirse ratings must have been really hurting.

  23. sounds familiar on Microsoft Proposes Thumb-Driven Interfaces · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems that microsoft is looking to have some kind of setup like apples iPod, but for a PDA. This might be a problem for some though, my thumb is gigantic so trying to make precision movements might be difficult.

  24. Spotlight on Tiger's 200 New Features · · Score: 0

    Does anyone else here find spotlight to be sort of useless? So it starts searching on the fly rather then after you hit enter, I really don't see an advantage here other then saving yourself a few seconds.

  25. I just figured it out on Intel Ships Dual-Core Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Intel is leading in chip sales because their processors are Extreme
