  1. 1.5 mile high stack of laptops.... on IBM's Blue Gene Runs Continuously At 1 Petaflop · · Score: 1

    How many furlongs per fortnight of Library of Congress would that be able to process?

  2. Re:Two DVD disks? on Genome of DNA Pioneer Is Deciphered · · Score: 1

    Two DVD disks in each one of our trillions of cells. Pretty amazing data storage density, really. How much of it actually encodes for useful proteins/enzymes/etc may only be a tiny fraction but at some level it's all functional. Perhaps DNA computing will reduce the size/cost/power consumption of data centers someday. Wikipedia DNA Computing

  3. Re:governor on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It · · Score: 1

    During the last election Schweitzer mailed out pictures of himself holding a shotgun in full on hunting garb. I cut out only his image and proudly taped it in the back window of my jeep. He was quoted as saying "Hell no" on our local NPR station (http://www.yellowstonepublicradio.org/) in response to the National ID.

  5. Cowboy iPhone SDK on No Third-party Apps on iPhone Says Jobs · · Score: 1

    I understand Apple's reluctance to have craplets on what should be a streamlined user friendly device however regardless of whether or not Apple releases an official SDK -- I feel that to most slashdot users the bundled apps will not exploit the iPhone's full potential. What good is a handheld computer with out an ssh client, or vnc client? I've registered iphonesdk.com in response and hopefully with enough intrest/talent/bricked iPhone's we can create a 3rd party SDK and app loader to make all our iWet dreams come true for this device.

    Please don't forget to mention the 100,000's of Iraqis that have also given their lives.
