  1. Re:640GB should be enough for anyone... on Bill Gates Founds New "Think Tank" Company · · Score: 1

    Is it really that "painfully obvious"? So far my one like beats your zero links. Where did he say that? Why did he say that? Quite frankly I have never seen evidence to support that quote.

    Just a quick question, what would the man have to do in order for you to accept that he is a visionary? Now don't for a second think that I'm calling him one, what I'm saying is that one should not have to invent every useful program/concept in order to qualify as a visionary.

    So he missed the internet, big deal, it's not like he was the only one.

    And what if the Space shuttle was as reliable as your car? Yeah its apples to oranges, integrated firmware is not the same as a full OS.

    Shaw raised their cap to 60GB around '06 I think. Anyway thats for the average highspeed internet, the next step up can be had for an extra 10 bucks and doubles the speed and raises the cap to 100GB.

    I take it by "1500TB" you mean 1500Tb? is that really what they do? Wouldn't the lose be much greater than 36GB?

    The joke is that "an In-Depth Look At Seagate's 1.5TB Barracuda" would really jsut be some really tiny bits, the binary example I used was just "Tiny eh" in ASCII binary. So I take it the jokes no longer funny since I had to explain it?

    You mean will the stated 1.5TB magical become 1.5TiB just because that's how Windows calculates capacity?

    When the first 1TB came out they were priced at around $400 if I remember right. This one is retailing for $200 or so. Thus its almost beating moore's law. Not that moore's law applied to hard-drives anyway.

    Does none realize that there is no way earth for them to read even a fifth of all email? The key word to remember is spam, spam, spam, spam, sure they could use some form of filtering, but we all know how effective that would be. I'd take five minutes for the "bad guys" to disguise their "bad guy" emails as spam, just like the other 90 percent of email traffic. .

    The serial number is checked though, whenever a barcode for a console is scanned the cashier is prompted to scan the serial number, which can usually be found within inches of the UPC. This is done whenever a console is sold or returned, although I do have to agree that it would be easy to gut the thing first.
