  1. Video is only half the story on YouTube Filtering Is On-Line · · Score: 1

    The sound track is probably easier to check and we're *much* more sensitive to changes made there, leaving very little wiggle room for deception.

  2. Re:Manufacturing costs will make or break this on Company Claims New Chip Converts Heat To Electricity · · Score: 1

    FTA: The chips are so small that packaging them together in a module is tricky and the focus of the development effort is currently in this area.
    Stikes me they'd be better off trying to get this technology on the same die as the CPU/GPU/WhateverPU. Be an interesting fabrication problem but should be more efficient that adding to the component count, double-stacking "Chips" and other such shenanigans...

  3. Re:Containment? on China Claims Successful Fusion Power Test · · Score: 1

    Guess they'd call that the "America Syndrome"

  4. Re:yeah but, on Giant 'Leap' for Robotics · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hop so...

  5. Am I missing something? on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 2, Insightful
    FTA: Our data recovery specialists have been able to provide a partial file list of the email data, but it has since become clear that we will not be able to recover the directory structure. Without the directory structure we cannot recover any meaningful data, due to complexity of associating the data with the relevant customer accounts.

    If they've got the e-mails why not just re-queue it? Surely the "To" field is a bit of a give-away.

  6. Re:Great! on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Granted, Sarge using a 2.4 kernel as default for the installer wasn't sharp. You *can* boot with a 2.6 kernel very easily by entering "linux26" at the boot screen instead of just hitting enter. That get's you up and running on the majority of "Modern" stuff.

  7. Re:"best" out there? on Fedora Core 5 Review · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. I wonder what OS *he* runs.....

  8. Re:Backup and preservation of investment? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I do! That's why all my music is ripped and streamed - CDs in garage in case of HDD fail.

  9. Re:Backup and preservation of investment? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 0

    Arguably, a digital copy isn't going to degrade with use like an LP.

  10. Re:The belly of the bureaucracy on RIM Wins BlackBerry Patent Dispute in UK · · Score: 0, Troll
    I was sure there was a semi-recent interview by Slashdot with someone that worked at the USPTO, but I can't seem to find it.

    Nevermind, someone'll dupe it in the next day or so anyway...

  11. Re:Use tape - drives can't just sit there unused on Offline Storage for Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing there's a fair ammount of data here (?How much?) - if you're worried about a drive dying whilst in storage, archive it to 3 Disks in a RAID 5 (Just one choice of many).

    You could do a periodic spin-up of a volume and check they're still alive, say one volume a week?
