From: The Dark PrinceEverything you said is true for current technology. Sloot didn't use current technology, he did something else.
Okay, assuming that this is real which I don't believe for one second, if he didn't use
current technology, then how can the storage space be measured in a scale designed specifically for binary storage spaces?
a whole new way of thinking about digital code.
If it's not binary, it's not digital code.
@Lasafrog,
Holograms work on interference patterns and can only be a fraction as precise as the original print of the interference space. Thus, holography can only provide a storage space at the
same or less capacity than a standard method of storage with the same level of technology. You can't get something for nothing.
Another point is that computers would have to have specialised optical devices for reading in the hologram, and before you say that they just look at the interference pattern, realise that if you're doing that, you're already reduced to looking at 2d media again, in which case the current method is superior.
Again, the issue is that something has to fit on that space to keep this data and that something must be made with a precision proportional to the maximum data that can be stored.
Anyway it doesn't make a difference, it's not 64k if it was using this mystical technology with 3 dimensional teleporting wormholes. So the original claim is false.
