I donā€™t know enough about the technical stuff to understand how this works, but TWELVE POINT EIGHT PETA. HOLY SHIT.

Well, guess thatā€™s another thing Arthur C. Clarke was wrong about, except in the opposite direction: We donā€™t have to wait until 3001 before we can have a petabyte in something twice the thickness of a floppy.

Ooooo, thatā€™ll give me a reason to use ZFS.

I like how the main forum is gradually turning into a Slashdot mirror. :stuck_out_tongue:

Course, Iā€™m not gonna complain, no no. That would make me a hypocrite. >.> <.<

But I didnā€™t find this on slashdot?

From what I got from it, each filament can have two states of polarity which can be reversed. Until now that reversibility was totally spontaneous. Now that they can control it, they can control which polarity can represent binary 1 and 0. Since the filaments are so small they can pack a huge amount into a very small space.

I take it ALLLLL back then. :slight_smile:

@_@; I need such a device.

11

Thatā€™s a whole lot of porn.

iPod 12,8 Peta. Kill music executives with style.

13

So reversing the polarity is the solution!

14

To every problem :wink:

15

The question isā€¦ How affordable will this technology be? And how soon can I put it in my laptop :slight_smile:

Thats cool Steve, you could keep like 10 gigs in your penis.

17

uses caddle prod

Holy crap! That is AMAZING!

Your name is fitting, whenever I see a post made by you ā€œā€¦ughā€ is what comes out of my mouth, unlike penisā€™s which are what come out of YOUR mouth.
