So it has started :)
Quote from NC History:
The Way to Apocalypse (2005 - 2143)
2005
Holographic mass storage media are introduced to the world market. The Holodisk is scanned with a laser and even the introductory model can contain amounts of data which are more than 100 times bigger than the maximum capacity of conventional mass media based on magnetic fields.
Edit: too cryptic title

Erm.
It's a technology anyone could have seem coming.
Optical/Holographic storage is some of the most efficient memory management possible.
Biological storage is the only thing more massive.

Biological storage, however is completely impossible to tap at this point in time :P
Yeah but an amusing coincidence one could say :D

Hope They make a Holo Harddisk soon... i need more space.... should prove adequate

They're trying to make 1mbit broadband standard in the uk o.O
It's not a year early.. the history says 2005 is when it was introduced to the world market..I give it at least that until the technology is perfected enough to be sold commerically.
I was going to change title to something more suitable and less cryptic but it seems I can't :confused:

ah, yes and no...
we can accurately read DNA, the issue is in transmission control, preventing data corruption when you're copying the DNA...
But a cube of DNA 2cm cubic could carry the entire library of congress...
It looks so sexy.

DNA storage is indeed massive, however the read speed currently and even in the future will be shite, simply due to the physics involved.
Holographic storage has been on the cards for AGES, there are universities all over the world working on it.
Data storage research had densities of 20 gigs per side of disk 5 years ago.

Imagine whacking that in ur cd player!
The holo storage thingy looks good :)
Don't like the idea of a lump of living matter in my PC, imagine what it would smell like if it went off 8|
I find this more interesting:
US Army's Tactical High Energy Laser Shoots Down Mortar Rounds (http://www.spacedaily.com/news/laser-04r.html)
The Tactical High Energy Laser, built by Northrop Grumman for the US Army, shot down multiple mortar rounds Aug. 24, proving that laser weapons could be applied on the battlefield to protect against common threats.
the timing with the NC history is kinda worrying lol.
2008 Nasa succeeds in conducting a manned mission to mars.
anyone roughly know how long til this happens in our time? lol it wont be long thats for sure.
So theres this new guy down the street...
Calls himself ceres...
*Looks out of window*
He's building summat now...

We still get shit speeds anyway no matter what connection we use. One american i know gets about 400kb/sec on his 1mb line downloading from europe while me on my 1.5mb line get 195kb/sec
I think we would need to spend how ever much T3 costs to have speeds even remotely fast compared to the rest of the world.

400kb/sec kinda defeats the point of calling it 1mbit...

Either that, or he's lying to you.

Most connections are capable of speeds far in excess of what you get, there could be a glitch somewhere, where the restrictions have been removed.
Well he aint gunna lie about the speeds he gets :p its not like ill love him ....
Nah dribble, i asked on here and supposedly 200kb/sec is normal for 1.5mb line in UK. I still get just little under 1mb/sec when downloading on steam though :D

I meant the yank.
400k/s on a 1 mb line is like.... 3 times the normal speed.
200k/s on a 1.5 mb line sounds right, I used to get 160 on my 1 mb cable last year.
Steam? enlighten teh dribble.

It wouldn't take that long.
For NASA? It will. It's our Senates' favorite whipping boy.
As in Valve's Steam network.
Edited out low speed picture for new one!!! 8|
lmao.
I love my 3mb down cable. I just wish my up was higher.

lmao.
I get weird errors like that on my 1.5mbit and on my 768 kbit, it's odd, CS is "380ish mb" yet I downloaded it in less than 15 minutes.... on 768kbit...
I tbh think it's steam bein stupid :P

whenever your on vent you have house or something on... i just didnt see you as a pop lover :p
*cough* carebear *cough*
:p
Yeah i listen to house/dance/trance n' shit but i have a soft spot for Busted lol o_O my bro takes the piss too.... :(
