Submission + - Scientists store whole image on a single photon

WebWeasel2006 writes: "Taken from The Register Scientists from New Yorks University of Rochester have stored an entire image on a single photon. The image is stored by passing a single photon through a tiny stencil, quantum physics forces the photon to pass through all of the the holes in the stencil picking up a shadow of the image. The photon is then slowed in a caesium gas cube. The potential for information buffering is staggering. Thousands of photons could be stored in a single cell...."

Submission + - Google expert debunks 'undetectable' link spam

netbuzz writes: "Google's Webspam expert Matt Cutts sort of channels Chris Rock's famous "No matter what a stripper tells you" bit in debunking new SEO claims of the "undetectable" link scheme. To illustrate his point, Cutts digs out a 2002 e-mail from another SEO "expert" who inadvertently and amusingly makes the point for him — a point he contends is as valid today as it was then.

I never met that guy, but I do have a strong memory of being held captive aboard an alien ship with funky mirrors. When I returned, I told everybody a bout my ordeal. Now I'm living out my days in this damn hospital. Oh well, at least my sister won the swim meet.

True conservatives are not for big government.. A strong military, yes. But limited size and power of government is part of the base conservative philosophy. As is low taxes across the board, etc. The difference is that may people equate Republican with Conservative. While it's true that most Conservatives do join the Republican party, not all Republicans are true conservatives.

Personally, I like Walter E. Williams' name of "constitutionalist" rather than "conservative". It's more descriptive.

Journal Journal: Haiku is Here! 1

My story was posted, announcing the new name of OpenBeos. I am honored to have submitted the name that made it.

I think this marks the first day of OpenBeos becoming more than a 'clone' of BeOS, and secures its position as a viable OS choice for the future.

Journal Journal: Ask a Music Producer Interview - Bill Evans Answers!

Awhile back, Slashdot had a request for interview questions for Bill Evans in a story called, "Ask a Music Producer". For reasons unknown (I'd guess he was just too busy), he never responded to the interview. He did, however, send lil' ol' me an email answering my questions. I've meant to post this for awhile, but for reasons unknown (I must have been too busy

Well, here I am with an update on what's up - You may have seen this story that I'm reprinting here.

I just happened to see a post [slashdot.org] earlier on /. mentioning this. I happened to look up my old band, The Lovejoys (from Mpls, MN - all others on the net are newer fakes :P )

Journal Journal: Northgate Omnikey Software Search 15

Help me, O /.ers! I have been looking for months(year) for the windows(95/98) software for the Northgate Omnikey Keyboard.

FTP searches have come up with nothing except OS/2 drivers and the DOS software - the windows software is nowhere that I can find :( and as we may all know, Northgate has been 6 feet under for years.

Journal Journal: BeOS you can Be! 1

I thought I'd bring /.ers up to date on some exciting things going on with BeOS. Yellowtab's CTO Bernd Korz will will demostrate Zeta, YellowTAB's nextgen BeOS in Tokyo, Japan on April 19th. Blueeyed OS has a snazzy new website and is ready to release a 120 meg demo cd of their Knoppix Linux-kernel based BeOS. However, they need someone to host it. Any brave users out there? Perhaps

I hated Java :-) Actually i don't hate Java at all; i thought it was pretty elegant when i was developing it... but having done so much C recently the thought of going back to a language with no pointer arithmetic and with no easy string handling and with no direct memory management... ugh.
