  1. Re:OT: The size of the internet on CERN Collider To Trigger a Data Deluge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Have you read that article? Firstly, what you say exa, is peta really. But, according to me the size of the internet is the available data through internet. And my emails are not available through the web (hopefully). And while the data transmitted through the network is redundant and huge part of it worthless data (eg. my post), this experiment will give us an enormous amount of meaningful, therefore valuable data.

  2. Re:Hope on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    That is exactly what I'm saying, but open sourcing would fix it. The only trick: open source flash. I mean the macromedia/adobe thing. You know, that runs your code... And currently it is not OSS. If it would be, we would already have 64bit flash up and working.

  3. Re:Hope on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    If you are talking about binary-only packages, I share your opinion: why can't they compile/build it for other architectures too?
    You don't have this problem with open source: the code is (very much) CPU-independent.

  4. SW isn't the most basic element of failsafe design on Software Error Likely Killed MGS Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    I think, this time, the hardware failed. If you can actually drive permanently sg. against a mechanical stop, it's not well designed. Or, if it provides an interrupt that actually switches to degraded mode (and not failsafe: that means nothing can go wrong), then that is a system design problem.

  5. Re:Oh, I thought it was a mouse that moved itself on Output Mouse · · Score: 1

    I really like the idea. Imagine it as a feedback in games... Or with this skip to default feature... I do not think it would be too tricky. But I do not know how could we create enough grip to move your hands too.

  6. Re:You need to check your facts... on Intel Unveils PC for Developing Nations · · Score: 1

    I do not want to flame, but ... Guess what, I did not look it up. An guess what, I don't want to look it up. Maybe it's not $5, but less than they could give. Definetely less. And guess what, that is the important thing. I have a strange feeling: the money they are putting into the developement of this kiosk-computer could be spent better - of course it would not produce income. I mean not immediately. And guess what, I appreciate those who give charity anonymously. And I hope that after the last sentence you know why I do not respond to your last question. What's more, I do not want to go personal.

  7. Third world needs help... on Intel Unveils PC for Developing Nations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... and not the words of some hypocrites. It is very spectacular to build nice projects, run big ad campaigns. But when will they start to give something? I guess the answer is never. These guys give 5$ to the red cross, and that is their yearly offer for the poor. And I agree: we should first help them with food, medication and education. If this [wikipedia.org] is not a good reason for sticking to this order, then what? To say the least: I can't code when I'm starving or when I'm ill.

  8. Re:VMware? on Quad PCIe Motherboard · · Score: 1

    Yeah, imagine the memory and the CPU needed to run all those systems ;) And the resource conflicts they would have :o It is better if you use those all the heads for watching the same porn

  9. Re:Which innovation? on Intel Unveils New Chips to Battle AMD · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you're right in a way. Still, I would rather believe anybody that they have detonated a nuke. They don't have to show it to me, that it works. If I see the bomb, and they tell me that it works, that's fairly enough... :). By the way, some people around did this "do you beleive it?" game for some decades :(

    Well, I do think Fokker was a great guy, but whatever you say, the Wright brothers (or Whitehead) were the first to fly with a self-propelled plane. I could enumerate many other examples. It is great to have something that anybody can buy, but it is rarely the first step.
