I kind of want you to just go ahead and try it... Make the mod, post an article to slashdot about how we are all going to take part in a test to show the silliness of the ESRB's new found understanding of released content, and then step back and observe the results.

New 25x Data Compression? 438

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday April 05, 2006 @04:23PM from the make-sure-to-give-it-to-more-than-just-the-corporate-monkies dept.

modapi writes "StorageMojo is reporting that a company at Storage Networking World in San Diego has made a startling claim of 25x data compression for digital data storage. A combination of de-duplication and calculating and storing only the changes between similar byte streams is apparently the key. Imagine storing a terabyte of data on a single disk, and it all runs on Linux." Obviously nothing concrete or released yet so take with the requisite grain of salt.

The code names were tough. Not only did you have to remember to use the code name, you also had to remember when NOT to use the code name, e.g. when discussing the PS2 game with friends outside of work ;)
