you always have to remember, people used to be scared of cars and look at them wondering where the horses were... some day there will be no "stupid users"... some day the % of stupid users will be equal to the % of stupid people... instead of like now where there are way more stupid users than stupid people... that's when linux will be truely usefull... you have to wait out for the long hall... thank god we aren't doing this for profit... because it may be till my grandchildren's time before all can program as well as then drive
you're looking at it... why create a playing field for your sport when the one down the street will work just fine... i thought we were a forum to talk back at it... am i just delusional here?... well ok granted i am... but still!
the best part is not that drives will now be in terra bites (excuse my sp)... because no matter what, the bigger the hard drive the bigger the files... microsoft alone will make the first terra bite word processor, i'm sure... games will be bigger... we are like gold fish... we expand to fit the space we have...
the truely great part will be the floppy disks... storing media in archives is always the most obnoxious part for both buisness and users... zip disks cost entirely too much to truely archive what you want to archive... but floopies?... if one floppy can hold more than one present zip?... that would be cool...
granted the games still won't fit on floppies because they will have expanded... but i'd love to carry around the works of shakespeare on a floppy... or how to program in ___ (enter programming language here)... then we could start making little book reading thingies... that instead of carrying heavy books around you carry a viewer (bookman vs walkman?) and some disks... you could carry 20 books and still have room in your back pack for jolt and some peanuts...
i think we should all go to: http://register.microsoft.com/regwiz/regwiz.asp click on "Send in a wish!" and just send microsoft a msg w/ the url for the story on it... title the msg "Eminent Downfall of Microsoft"... the url for the story is: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/tc/story.ht ml?s=v/nm/19990406/tc/computers_linux_3.ht ml ... just to show our support (insert evil laugh here)
we have here an age old problem... it's called supply and demand... we demand mp3 someone is going to supply them... that is what the search engine is... a supplier... they may not produce it but they supply it... (anyone else thinking this sounds like the drug problem)... unless they find some magical way to decress the demand the supply and the supplier will continue to exist... there is no debate on this... there is no stopping it... there is only time and man power wasted on it
