I agree, But currently, I do not belive that the "average" home user (not video editing) is going to n"need" this later not sooner.
Someone mentioned that this is great as far as storage goes, but I would honestly prefer to see a 20K spindle speed over a 360gig drive.
I also have about 300gig of data, but I would not.... Put it all on one disk. it is nice having several physcal disks. My file server is comprised of two controler cards, and (5) 80 gig drives and one 20 gig for the OS. Each is on it's own Bus.
And i have various other boxes as well. And no it is not *all* comprised of p0rn.
This actually appears to be a great, Fast media (compaired to lower end tape drives) for backup needs. No one person could really use all this storage in a home/personal computing needs (THAT ARE LEGITMATE).
Although from a backup perspective, this would prove to be very useful, Buy two, Mirror them, and there you have it, Redundant 320GIG's of backup space.
I have experanced first hand that HP sells their cheeper line of inkjets with ink cartrages that are, uhm, Lacking in the ink dept.
I had a sales man even inform me of that. I find it kinda upsetting that they are willing to sell that so cheep, yet 5 days/20 pages later, you are out spending another 50.00 on a 100.00 dollar printer just to keep it working. That IMO is rediclous. I don't know how it is for their more expensive Ink Jet printers. I no longer buy HP ink Jet's. However, their Laser printers are great.

You don't *license* Xbox hardware from Microsoft, you *buy* it. When you buy something, you *own* it, and can do whatever the hell you want with/to it.
Yes and NO. Improper opperation of a device/meterial can be ilegal, IF it is written. If you buy something does not mean that you have the right to use as you desire.
A car- Yes, i bought my car, but if i remove my seatbelts, I am legally not allowed to drive it.
Spray Paint cans- Sure, I buy them, but I can't use them to 1) deface property and 2) get high.
What is my point, They DO have a leg to stand on, if their intentions are to have the XBOX NOT modded and that stated in some legal crap on the documentation/EULA/box etc. They also have the DMCA to use saying that the end user has circumvented the copy protection on it.
Yea, i am feeling kinda smart today considering i spent the majority of my evening last night replacing the rotors and brake pads on my car, then washing and waxing it, and finally at 23:30 when i was done, i played GTA3 for about 4 hours and was late to work.
Moment of dumb, and lazyness, USB is Universal Serial Bus, Right?
We would not use the internet (public) yet we have leased DS3's and OC'3s (depending on office size) to our main data center. The router hops and the latentcy are not that bad. Also for the majority of what we do, Transfering a 40k-100k document (it's a law firm) over a link such as a DS3/OC3 is nothing.
In one of my later posts on this topic is said "You should build your network based on requirements and budget." This is well within out requirements and would prove to save us some (10-15%) money overall.
I agree with you on your point about many of the same port automatically adjusting to the service/protocol needed for the device at the end. In fact there is a standard for this, USB. (Universal) It supports almost everything that can be added, although currently does not support the bandwidth requirements for some peripherals.
I did think about the OP point, but wanted to make my own. I feel like a am surrounded by MCSE's (Want to read something funny? Good: An MSCE in my office asked me how to ping a server, Need I say more?)
* For one thing, it's only as reliable as your network. If you have a network problem such as a down switch/hub etc, you lose your disks immediately.
With the money that you save compaired to Fibre channel, You can afford to build redundancy. (you have that aready don't you?)
# Unlike SCSI and Fibre Channel, you can't boot from an iSCSI volume. This is because your operating system has to be loaded, and your TCP/IP stack initialized, before you can load the iSCSI driver
Personal opinion: I belive that having a single/mirrored or a small RAID array for the OS and the related software in the actual box a better idea. (KISS)
* By putting block level storage on your LAN, you've increased the capacity requirements by several orders of magnitude. To get any reasonable performance you're going to need Gigabit Ethernet everywhere -- and if you're going to make that kind of investment, you might as well be doing Fibre Channel.
Gigabit ethernet is cheeper then Fibre Channel hardware; You are not going to need Gigabit throughout each individual node on the network, but throughout the datacenter. (very reasonable, and depending on the network, commonly aready in place.)
I am not tring to attack you, but I wanted to make points that I feel are relivant. As always, budget and specs should dictate what you need for storage. I would not go out now, and purchase iSCSI when it comes out, but in a few years after some bugs have been worked out, I belive it will be a VERY viable technolgy.
This is not going to happen. (or at least should not)
There are WAY to many people that are not bright enought to know where to hook up the cable. You will have SCSI devices being pluged in to a Floppy port. CD ROM drives in to sound cards. You see my point?
While standardization is good, Stupid people are bad.
There are many advantages to have a storage protocol over the internet.
One example that is in my face is SAN's and the office that I am in. There is 14 offices around the world, and having one centeralized data center would make things so much easier for local office staff, and reduce costs for storage maintance. Less cost for more skilled people in the remote offices.
While you are correct with the cost for the commerical High end equipment not marginly going down compaired to consumer products. The ISP is going to be doing more business because it's client(s)/customer(s) base is going to be much larger because of the mainstream acceptance.
The cost might not go down, but the client base will go up and their margins on profit might even be smaller, but more customers *should* = more money.
Even the ghetto will have fiber to it's door, with the street dealers taking orders with 802.11(x) iPaq's for crack; and with the FED's downloading NetStumbler and tring to get in on the action.
While the light in fiber might bounce off wall here or wall there, It is NOT receiving any interferance, and thus the quality of the link is higher, and the latency might be 1-2ns off, but the end connection is going to have less dropped packets, less overhead, and overall, the data will get there faster
In other words, eBay knew about the patent and had read it and knew they wanted to licence it. Then they went ahead and used the technique anyway without completing the negotiation.
Uhm, NO.
The plaintif is suing because of ebay's alleged patent infringment.
Most, if not all of us, (minus those attorney's working for plaintif, and ebay, and related high level exectutives for both) do not know ANY details of the negoiations in 2000 about eBay tring to buy/licence the patent. NO where does it say that eBay was tring to buy/licence the patent to protect them for eBay's aleged patent infringment. I don't belive that the converstations in 2000 between the two parties about this patent really conclude ANYTHING. (at least that we as readers of this article are aware of)
If anyone has more detail on this, please, come forth and reply! (PROVE ME WRONG)
Maybe it is just me, but If you are in the middle of a game, why are you pausing it to take out the trash, Shouldn't you have taken care of that before you started.
Second. I don't want to play against AI or a drone or whatever. I want to play the person(s) that I started playing against.
The phone rings- You have an awnsering machine.
The doorbell- Pause the game. IT is only just a game. (but honestly, how often does the door bell ring, and... when you are expecting someone/thing/beer/pizza delivery guy, don't start the game till you are done.

While AIDS/HIV started as in the US as by a homeosexual male, Now, It is spreading through the hetero community much more rapidly, than in the gay community.
This is mainly because way to many hetero males (and females) are still in the mindset that "i can't get it, it is a gay disease." And are running around f*in thier many partners and have no idea. It is really sad:-(.
Hahahaa... Then someone in FL loses a few ballots and GWB is president. (not that i don't like him)... but attorneys and money get what you want.. not your vote.

Yes, So do i. Although that phone that you got a year ago, Err Maybe two... They have had at least a year longer then you.
This is not a suprising fact. The US is not ahead in technology. They have cell phones that make our look like 900mhz cordless.

ok, Flame AWAY
For example- 3 years ago, i bought a external HP 1x-2x CD burner- 300.00 Now, I can get a 48X for 80.
56k modem new 5 years ago - 75.00 now - 12.00
It will take some time, but then again, it will also take some time to lay all that fiber.
I belive that in 7-10 years, 60%-80% of the US will have fiber to the door.
