Im not really a box set collector but the few i do have went from 2 episodes a Video, to 3/4 episodes a DVD, because they improved the quality and added more bonus features. an episode of Dr.Who in SD is 250mb of the bbc *cough* streaming* service.'. a dvd could hold 19 episodes, as a series is 12 episodes you could probably upgrade the quality and put out a single DVD with each series of Dr.who on it at SD (hell with blueray it would only take 5 disks for the entire collection at SD). But i doubt we will ever see that, instead they will improve the quality so those with HD benifit and continue to ship 3/4 dvd/bluerays boxsets.
Perhaps because i only watch video on my laptop the 300mb per episdoe number is abit small but a blue ray disk could hold a series of STTNG at ~1G per episode but i doubt well see that either.
Fortunately my HDD can hold all of the X-files (minus the movies OFC) in just 60GB
Call me a snob if you like, that does not change the fact I can tell the difference very quicly on my 56" HDTV between HD content and DVD content, especialy when the HD content was recorded with a HD camera, not upconverted from film.
Fine your a snob and an idiot, film is much better quality than HD meaning film doesn't need to be upconverted at all. Making a stupid statement like that shows that not only are you a videophile but your also a pretty shity one too. your the equivalent of an audiophile that says he prefers his music in 256kbps to an audio CD.
Also, monitors today can't show extremely vivid or bright colors that the human eye is capable of perceiving. Backlight technology is improving this to some degree, but if there is ever a quantum leap in display technology we may *need* a lot more bits to describe all the new colors we can show. In fact, we would probably need to start using floating point color, which is already used for video editing and HDR video games.
Lies everyman knows there are just 8 colours Red,Orange,Yellow,Green,Blue,Purple (+ black & white) anything else is just a fancy way of describing them
Of course a hdd can die too, so refresh you media at a still safe moment.
I thought a HDD would only die when a) in use b) physically harmed. if you put it somewhere safe, the data on it will last 1000 years. but i may be wrong.
how is this troll, are mod that retarted these days!!! do they only get car analogies?
This reminds me of my experiences with cars in highschool. When I'd go to a garage house to pick her up for the dance, invariably the mechanic would make me wait 10~15min to finish whatever the hell they do that takes so long before we continued on. Should I complain or threaten to go to someone else a wrench would come my way.
yeah you'd need so me sort of sorting code that decided how influential a friend was to the various other friends, hmm i wonder if you could patent that...
DO google pass on failed search attempts? I thought that they simply blocked certain keywords completely meaning that people searching for that stuff are probably safer than if they found the results.
while renewable energy is a good long term goal, going nuclear would/does work today [see France] and the excess power allows you to do interesting things when the grid is not using it all [see CERN]. Now that's not to say there aren't issues, but they are known issues and as long as you don't try doing anything stupid [see Chernobyl] and stick to regulations its >99.999% safe.
and while they're at it perhaps they could invest the money needed to finally get fission working too. all this 'being green' is needed while were burning coal, but once we go nuclear we can throw energy about for supercomputers/labs/cars/etc
Whoever decided to call copy home tapping piracy is really kicking themselves now. YTF did they name it after one of the coolest professions out there.
what are you on, 98% sign up for hotmail to get on msn just means 98% of people dont know what they're doing/ want an @hotmail.com address, i simply registerd an email for a domain i owned at the time and ive had no problems, Im not even sure if this possible with other IM systems so i quite like this feature of msn
they dont even bother with URLS and they're not exactly going to pass the turning test any time soon.

If your setting up a home theatre with a 100" screen, why not just go the distance and get the actual films.

I suspect the type of designer who would happily use Flash for navigation is the type of designer who is unaware people use computers at all.

wait, that means police racism works backwards when the media are watching. Hmm im sure there's an MJ joke in there somewhere!

Its ok nobody RTFA so it doesnt matter if it works or not
Thats simply because not enough of it is on fire to make it stand out on google earth!
Here's a shout out to all ma homiez that really don't require a skinnable, theme-able printing dialog!
But this is KDE, the print dialog will be skinnable AND themable, The only part of my setup another KDE user would recognise would be my panels.
theyre not talking web-counters though, there using an FTP server, which will log unique IPs

Really last thing they DID, not just discus, regarding SMS messages was tell providers to over cheaper roamer charges in europe.
Not only that put the EU are now threatening to force phone companies to drop roaming charges for texts inside europe (as they have with calls)
