  1. Re:10 years too late, Gibson on William Gibson on The Age of The Remix · · Score: 1

    It is interesting how by using the term "re-mix" everyone assumes this is only referring to music.
    I "edit" what I watch thru a PVR. I choose the complications for my I-pod. The community helps define the top links on Google...
    Scroll up and down and witness a /. remix of the Gibson article. The Slashdot audience is definitively participating.. And the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

  2. Re:Intentional obfuscation... on $100,000 Poker Bot Tournament · · Score: 1

    This is on the right track but timings would not be very useful.. With less than 30 seconds to call on most sites a difference of 10 seconds one way or other would not be a useful indicator. This may work against other bots but not a human...
    I do suspect that Bot developers use this and other techniques ( Chat Bots?) to "hide" the fact that they are bots. I play a tight game and rarely chat and I have been accused of being a bot.

  3. Re:Microsoft has planned this for quite awhile. on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    Oracle Released thier Oracle File System at least a couple of years ago. Same thing

  4. Rail Gun tech.. on Rail Guns Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    A rail gun weapon does not need to be near this fast(35km\sec) to ruin your whole day
    A projected naval rail gun with a 2.5km/sec muzzle velocity could deliver a guided projectile with an impact velocity of Mach 5 to targets at ranges of 250 miles, at a rate greater than 6 rounds per minute.
    A test demonstrated that a rail gun projectile's kinetic energy could create a 10-foot diameter crater, 10 feet deep in solid ground, and achieve projectile penetration to 40 feet - 3 to 5 times more effective than current guns.
    Rail gun projectiles are smaller and easier to store: a standard AGS magazine holds 1,500 rounds; a rail gun magazine could hold 10,000 rounds in the same amount of space.
