  1. 640 kb on Bill Gates On the Past, Future, and Google · · Score: 0, Redundant
    'We're at the beginning of something important again' in the development of technology -- just as in the 1980s with the advent of the PC'
    ... around the time he professed that 640 kb should be enough for everyone. :-)
  2. Re:So, i install such a thing at my home. on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the point. You use frequency hopping. The sequence and timings of each frequency change is only known by the power source and the tapping device. This sequence can be established cryptographically, so that it cannot be guessed.

  3. Re:So, i install such a thing at my home. on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    Just a hypothetical thought: What about using cryptographically based frequency hopping? Then you could only power the clients that have been approved by the wireless power source.

  4. Re:'Detailed Panorama'? on Detailed Panorama of Mars Released · · Score: 1

    True, but the atmosphere on Mars is pretty thin compared to Earth's, so I think the color you see is that of the ground. But I am not an expert.

  5. Re:'Detailed Panorama'? on Detailed Panorama of Mars Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would *guess* normal color. Mars is brownish red, as you can see. In fact, if you look at mars with a telescope on a good day you can actually faintly see that it looks reddish-colored.

  6. The IPv6 Mess on IPv6 Essentials · · Score: 1

    I'd love to use IPv6, but reading djb's take on ipv6 really makes me wonder if we're ever going to get there. I don't know what the current situation is, but from reading djb's comments it looks like if I deploy servers on IPv6 only, then I'd have a network that would be completely separated from IPv4!

  7. Re:Language and assumption troubles on Scientists Shocked as Arctic Polar Route Revealed · · Score: 1
    With fossils unearthed recently showing _tropical_ weather in Northern Canada, I think it's safe to say that the Arctic ice cap is a temporary feature.
    Yep. But depending on the age of the fossils you're mentioning, the climate might simply be a feature of the geographical location of Northen Canada at those times, e.g. it was part of the super continent of Pangaea.
  8. Re:It would be cool... on First Neutron Pulse from SNS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or rather: As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station! from ROTJ. :)
