Captain_Wang Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I wonder how many 'Bart' names on there. Amanda Hugginkiss you know lol. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 How do 430,000 names fit on a small cd? Or do you mean as data? And.. what good would that do? What if aliens discover it, it doesn't mean that they can read it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if aliens discover it, it doesn't mean that they can read it :p im asuming they put it on their as data. it really doesn't do any good, just so you can say "hey my name is on pluto" it was one of those what the hell I'll sign up.

tony-inpo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Without a doubt, use 512MB DDR-SDRAM. 168 Pin SDRAM only run at 66-133MHz while 184 Pin DDR-SDRAM run about 266+ MHz. Even though the SDRAM will have 256MB more, it will not do that much. Totally miss this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yisman Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Same here. Asteroids is much cooler. :p Haha. I'm seriously awesome at that game. My top score is around 250,000, and I regular go over 100K. Pretty boring, though. I never heard about this CD. Oh well. :( The aliens will have to come find me without the aid of an actual name. :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I saw the story on /. a while back. I put my name on it. I personally find it very cool. From a practical point of view its useless. I just like the idea of being part of history. When it arrives it won't be disturbed until someone goes and picks it up. No weather, no earthquakes, no volcanoes, just perfect preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
