Yeah, but I did it all 3 or 4 times this month, until I got the system the way I liked it. I probably still didn't come close to 250GB, but, had I been a legal video downloader, and if "trends continue", I could see me legally hitting the limit in the near future. More and more people distribute via the internet, and things continue to get bigger and bigger.
I recently bought a new computer, and had to install the O/S 3 or 4 times before I got it the way I liked it. In the meantime, I had to download Crysis, Half-Life, Ep 1, Ep 2, Bioshock, Windows O/S images, SQL Server images, Office images. I bet I came close to downloading 250GB this month. And that is because - no one uses DVDs anymore, people just download ISOs. People distribute software ovwer the internet.
I guess there is no reason to build larger hard drives anymore. We're back to the bad old days.
I think the HD was $50, and I was cutting corners and in a hurry. I just use it to play games, and my laptop has all my other stuff, but honestly, it's not even close to being full. I'm from an earlier age and to me 250 gb is still whopping plenty. I don't do DV or tons of music (have about 40GB on my laptop).
so, yeah, it was a wierd decision, but this one had a large amount of cache and is sata 3.0 and had good latency characteristics, and I saved like $50 versus the 640 GB that was almost the same.
Go figure, it made sense to me. I'll replace it later if I need to. Probably an SSD.
But I can guess how it works. A sphere passing through a plane would look at first like a dot, then a gradually wider line, then a dot. I remember flatland saying something about brightness at ends of the line.
So, a hyperball passing through a 3-space would look like a dot, gradually expanding to a sphere, and gradually shrinking to a dot.
I'm running Server 2008 64-bit without the Desktop Experience role and 4GB of memory (on a 4ghz overclocked e8500), I might add. Boy I love saying that. I've been hanging out on a lot of OC forums lately.
Anyway, without the DE role, there is no Media Player, no installed WM codecs. I use VLC and Flash. It frickin flies. Beats the crap out of XP, and is way more modern feeling. It's nice. BTW, Windows 7 Server will be pretty much the same as Win2008. All W7 will be is what I have now:-)
I swear to god, when I was in 2nd grade, I learned that it was a word that you could spell either way. And WIKI confirms it! Spellings change over time. That kid was always an insufferable smartass -- um, yeah, kid, there's only one way to spell it - NOW. Smack.
It is curious to me that anti-religious zingers, not philosophically very complex ones, roll off the average person's tongue and as thoughtlessly as 'Zounds or different quotes from the bible used to be back in the old days. There only seems to be a difference between little thinkers and deep ones. Humans like simplicity and agreement amongst themselves -- about what doesn't matter.
I used to have these awesome perl scripts that selected some random FLAC files that hadn't been selected lately, decompressed them and converted them to mp3 on the fly, and copied them to my sandisk player. "It does everything itunes can do!" Then I tried showing it to somebody (a chick) - got all flustered, and f*cked it up. "Just use iTunes" I said in defeat:-)
How come nobody uses anonymous delegates?

Anonymous delegates came out in C# 2.0 (I think), and now we have lambda expressions. Umpteen ways to do delegates, and hardly anybody I know uses them and gets confused as heck when they see code I write that uses them. It's because F10 through the debugger "looks wierd" when you use them and people aren't used to seeing functions inside functions:-)
There's lots of stuff in C# that people never use.

I bought a new computer, so I love to brag about the deal I got.
e8500, 4gb ddr2 1066, p5q-3, 4870, freezer 7 pro, rosewill case, 250 gb hd = $1050
had vista64 for free
plays crysis at high "near 60 fps" and everything else to the max
no microstuttering
me = happy

Your illogic is sickening.
Your statement does not need to be true for mine to be. Dumbass!
I always thought we should outsource our call centers to the middle east. Give the terrorists something productive to do :-)
I haven't "stumbled upon" anything :-) Saying Server 2008 is Vista is like saying Ubuntu is Debian.
It's kind of true, but sort of missing the point. Did they show people Server 2008 when they showed them Movaje? If not than you are just plain wrong.
gamez :-)
Try Server 2008 for gaming. It rocks :-)

Trust me, server 2008 is the way to go.

Keep your master copy in Microsoft Word with its Change Tracking turned on, then export it to .txt every time you save it. LOL. Perfect!
This guy clearly has stability issues. What a nutjob.

My favorite Pet DB is SQL Server, and the 2008 version is coming out in August YUM.
Oracle is o'tay too. MySql is a toy. Cue mods in 3, 2, 1...
