  1. Re:Do the calculations :P on Coming Soon, 250 DVDs In a Quarter-Sized Device · · Score: 0

    ooops I am wrong I was looking at the surface area of a sphere but we are still of as it is 10 times 125 GB as in 1250 GB per square inch it still being more then the 2 TB that you suggest more along the lines of 5.890 TB

    Think before you write since they said "square inch" which is the surface area lol I actually went and got the formula for the surface area of a circle -- (4*pi*r^2) and the diameter for a quarter is .955 inch so half that or instead use 2 * pi * d ^ 2

    But also I was taking the account for the whole size of the quarter which doesn't actually happen with CDs or DVDs because the outside edge having data there would be a bad idea I actually didn't consider the spindle and who says the will be a spindle and what would you lose in surface area on a quarter would have to be small maybe and one inch of surface area I am not sure though

  4. Re:Do the calculations :P on Coming Soon, 250 DVDs In a Quarter-Sized Device · · Score: 0

    and the surface area is equal to 4*pi*r squared (4 * 3.14 * 0.955/2) squared which actually equals 36.005 square inches then take 36.005 and multiple that by your 125 GB and its actually higher then 4375 not smaller. But maybe my Canadian quarter is a bit bigger then yours lol.

    10 terabits per square inch Thats the actually quote which actually works out to a whopping 4375 GB on one side of a quarter (quarter being a totally of 35 square inches) 10 Tbs being 125 GB so 4.375 TB on a quarter size disk :D imagine the HDs :D

    The only one responsible for this is apple they are evil like microsoft just admit it. buying an iphone doesn't make it bad. "Apple" makes it bad because they are forcing you to buy software. I don't like being forced into anything I make my own decisions.

    LOL MPAA and RIAA should of been taken out a long time ago. They are so backwards. suing the fans that listen and watch there art work. oh yeah I am glad I live in Canada where they don't restrict our artwork. like say if we want to download music and create something different slightly with it we can and are allowed to but don't try that in the states. Canada is the greatest country to live in even with its cold winters :D

    hmmm what size did you go for. I am pretty sure the creative has a 60 GB monster or more I had a 30 GB one. Many people don't know about these things I like the ipod I think it is great especially the touch but there is usually other choices just are harder to find. I wonder if there is a zen touch yet :D

  15. Re:I thought we already had this option... on ESPN's Play To Make ISPs Pay · · Score: 1

    yea, fuck that. if they want a pay site, they should just charge for membership. otherwise, set up your own private network and get off the public internet.

    i shouldn't have to worry about whether someone else's ISP "carries" a particular website when linking to a public webpage. this not only fragments the web, but it's an underhanded way of charging broadband subscribers extra for specific web content without their permission or knowledge. i don't have any interest in ESPN content, so why should i have to foot the bill for a subscription to a site that i will never visit?

    That is how it should be as some of the other sites already do. :D

    I just tested to see if my internet provider gives me access. This is the message I got:

    How To Get ESPN360.com Close ESPN360.com is available at no charge to fans who receive their high-speed internet connection from an ESPN360.com affiliated internet service provider. ESPN360.com is also available to fans that access the internet from U.S. college campuses and U.S. military bases. Congratulations! Your internet service provider carries ESPN360.com. Just click on the WATCH NOW link or any event to start watching ESPN360.com.

    (Emphasis: Mine) This is one of the most chilling messages I've ever gotten on the internet. I hope never to read a message like that again. Your provider carries "google"?? Obivously ,it's leading to this: The real money maker: We're sorry, your provider does not carry the XXX porn package, you cannot access any of these sites.

    You would have to pay for the premium package to get all the services :( but you know some people will actually think this is good. But we people will know how to circumvent this but then the price of internet will go up which in Canada is already twice as much as you guys in the US :( This made me laugh :) "We're sorry, your provider does not carry the XXX porn package, you cannot access any of these sites."
