Ultra High Definition Video

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-a-lot-of-pixels dept.

mr.henry writes "Engineers at the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) have developed a prototype ultra high definition video (UHDV) system. How good is it? When it was shown to the public, some viewers experienced nausea because of the ultra realistic visual effect of speed without the usual physical sensation of movement. 18 minutes of UHDV takes up 3.5 terabytes." 4,000 horizontal scanlines. Excellent.

    One CD of windows installs just Windows

    3 CDs of Linux installs quite a bit more than just Linux OS

    Nice troll, and I'll bite....

    The 1 Windows CD includes an OS, some minor utilities (calculator, sol.exe, wordpad), configuration tools, etc.

    The three redhat CDs contain an OS, all the utilities, several major databases, a bunch of server services (apache, postfix, php, sendmail), office tools (openoffice, abiword, koffice, gnome office) two separate desktop environments, each with their own tools, utilities, and applications, and much more.

    I think a better comparision woud be something like the Knoppix LiveCD which is a single CD and lets you run the OS, and utilities and applications.

    How can it be a troll? It's a simple fact. Yes the RedHat CD's contain a lot, however if you compare the average install you need more disk space for linux.

    I cant believe I got called a fucking troll for saying that. What the fuck is this? apple.slashdot.org or something?

    Well, look at the "average" windows install, as given by companies like Dell: Windows, MSoffice (that's another few CDs, since you seem to like counting in CDs), probably some antivirus stuff (another CD), and some driver CDs. I think that the average Windows install is still more than the average linux install, and to include things like OpenOffice in the average linux install and not include MS office in the average windows install is to render the comparison pointless.
