But that is what I am saying. OK, lets have us a new giant storage media, but there has been so much talk about video DVD conversion and who owns the rights to which films and which new format they are going to use in the future. I am all for new storage media, just don't make me switch to new formats for watching movie if there is no reason for it.
I for one, do not welcome either format. OK, get more data on the discs for console gamers and such, but as far as movies and films go, plain old DVD has more than enough quality for me. I am just wanting to know if there is going to be a point in my lifetime that I will convert to something other than DVD unless I am forced. Is Blu-Ray or HD DVD going to be a step up in actual quality on my current TV and home theater? I doubt it. The conversion from VHS to DVD was needed and gave us more quality and features. Neither of these formats will give us the same kind of bump that DVD gave us, so why convert to a new format so soon after DVD? All I can figure is that all the money makers want some hardcore DRM.
OK, Excell has been covered. But Java Script is not a programming language, hence the term "SCRIPT". It is a scripting language. Most people wouldn't know the difference only because stupid things like this give misinformation.
Really, if we are going to try and tell people what these terms mean, actually tell them the truth. Don't dumb it down because you think they wont understand. If they care, they want to know what it really means, if they don't care, why should you?
How can you assume it is because of file sharing? As more people moved to broadband, websites and uses for the internet started getting WAY more complex. Free streaming news video, Java games, VoIP, Flash, all the new PC games, etc... These are the things that are using the bandwidth. P2P has been around for years and people have been sharing movies for years.

I am not trolling, but I really couldn't tell if you are being serious or sarcastic, especially about renaming the planets...
The patent sounds like any concurrent versioning system. How can that be "invented" in 2004?

Now all I need is a spoon with a laser level in it.

Excell - this helps to run programs on your PC.
Java Script - a computer programming language.

My boss just came in to see if i was ok... "All you ever wanted to know about the "yes" command" made me fall out of my chair.
Can't we all just go back to arguing about DRM in the apple kits?
