Photon Soup Update

Within 2 months: "The paper got a prize and I would like to thank everyone who participated PS: Never post pictures of photo's on slashdot, my webserver is nothing but photons now"

Never post your site, either

One comment and cpjava.net is already inaccessible... guess you shouldn't post links either :-)

Bah, 900 emails is nothing. I'm still wondering how they got my address.

Neutrinos, too

I'd be interested in the process you suggest that transforms matter into photons...

I don't think this is possible. AFAIK, one could merge that server with another simlar server composed entirely of anti-matter, but then one would be left with a lot of neutrinos, besides the photons.

All dead as I type.

Now's your chance to direct a slashdotting. Try things like

The pictures are available at www.sco.com

Looks like he still needs the computing cycles. There a client we can run for that?

It takes more time...

It takes more time to download the images from a slashdotted site then actually render them!
