  1. Tape drives on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    As probably half the responses will say, use tape drives. They are affordable and store very large amounts of data.(500GB) Also, LaCie drives can come be about 2TB(or 1TB after formatting ;-) 2TB drive: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=1059 8 Last time I checked, it was about $5,000 for 1TB, so get 2 1TB drives and never have to worry about space again.

  2. IIRC on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My cable ISP has something in their TOS that says I can not use my connection for profit (making money for my bandwidth). According to that, there's no way I can use this P2P legally if I get credits for my bandwidth which can be used to purchase things which normally cost a set amount.

  3. But does it.... on Linux on Nintendo DS, Update · · Score: 0, Redundant

    run linux?

  4. Real question is.... on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    How many hours does it take to install Gentoo (stage1)?

    I can get a stream up, but I have a lot of work today (yes, I know, I'm on /.). If you could get me the script that would get a the stream, convert it, and stream it out again for the web, I'll mirror it. Reply to this, or e-mail me with the script if you could.

  6. Re:easy solution on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 1

    And if it were open-source (the breathalizers), the DUI people would be handled properly. Now, the people are getting away with potentially killing people.

    As well as high quality digital photography. LCD monitors do not display the color and resolution that high-res/high-quality work requires.

  8. Re:Hardly X-Rated. Maybe R-Rated... on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    Unless depth can be seen, a knife could be placed against the leg and would probably not be seen from the side, and only a small bump from the front.
    I'm taking a flight to Oshkosh this summer, with alot of friends(~15y.o.) Just off of my friends, those pictures, and some artificial coloration, imagine the website that could be made? There's too many possible abuses of this technology.

  9. Re:Oh geez, thin clients again. on Microsoft Developing Windows for Low-End Machines · · Score: 1

    And they'll do what all schools I've been in do. Get the lowest specs possible. Yep, 2000 students can run off of two T1 lines. I bet they also think the entire school's processing power could be done by a dual-Xeon box attached by 10Mbps ethernet cable.

  10. Re:Arbitrary marketing decision on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    It was definately amusing when I went to a restaurant that happen to have a few arcade games. One of the ride-on motorcycle games' screen was showing a Windows NT boot up screen saying "based on NT technology" (redundant?) And it took several minutes. Weird, considering no user can change OS settings.

    At least 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% got where they're going.

  13. Re:Slower! Slower! on Using Diamonds to Create Unhackable Code · · Score: 1

    Isn't that how RAM works? Once its set, it puts the signal out and sets itself again?
    Maybe I'm a little off, but it sounds like how RAM works.
    And why should they use this cable more than other cables for storage? Just use ethernet and send out the signal and keep getting it back and you could "store" as much data as the cable could hold. Unless of course this diamond cable is higher density of data.

    And I'm gonna duct tape my shift key down and clone a cd or two.

  15. Re:Casual attitude about SSNs on Carnegie Mellon Says Computers Breached · · Score: 1

    I've rarely found that a SSN is needed. If you make a membership-required website, you ask for a lot of information that just stays in the database, and nothing is done with it. Maybe companies feel the same about SSNs, they have it, and they have no need for it.
    I can't even get Google Ads on my sites because my father(I'm under 18 in US) to give his SSN to Google.

  16. Re:Wow. on NNSA Supercomputer Breaks Computing Record · · Score: 1

    Using the 'infinite number of monkeys' theory, this super computer could eventually develop the code for Duke Nukem Forever.

  17. Re:Heheehe on Burn Grass, Get Green Biofuel · · Score: 1

    If drugs were legalized, there would be a lot more of it happening and it probably would endanger others, even though prices would go down and the need for money wouldn't cause quite as many problems. I might disagree with someone's beliefs, but I would die for their right to think and do what they want, as long as it doesn't affect me. I just feel that there is no way to run a safe world without some things being prevented.

    But guess what else: You can also look into the new iPod accessory iCopulate which allows intimacy between mp3 players never before fantasized. And for the suit that has everything, Executve Pong.

    ah, I know it's too late. April Fool's Day posts were just pissing me off enough. It led to pointless comments on almost all posts, and this really late first post. Because I proved on a few other posts that nobody's wasting mod points today.
