NEWS: Yet Another DVD Format. Yes, It's Bigger. Again.

GEEK: Yet Another DVD Format. Yes, It's Bigger. Again.

Is there anyone out there that isn't working on a successor to the current DVD standard? With Blu-Ray and HD-DVD not even on the shelves yet, yet another format has been announced with really, really, really big storage potential.

I don't know about you, but I'm really starting to wonder what it is exactly that these guys expect me to be burning. 1000Gb removable media? Somebody has way too much porn.

I could have that much porn..

You can never have too much porn.

Anybody know where I can keep all this porn?

Some day someone will invent holo-porn, fully interactive, 3D models of porn stars.

Then the computers will quietly take over as we play with our new holographic sex partners.

Actually, that might not be so bad.

I, for one, welcome our VR holographic succubi overlords.

too much porn.. makes you hate humanity

droll........


now i can misplace my entire dvd collection!!!

sorry I love my tapes too much...

Daily backups of four or five 200 gig hard drives would be one use. Lack of media even approaching the size of my hard drives has caused me not to bother with backups. To unfortunate results, as between one thing and another, I've lost about six years worth of files in the last few months.

wow... an optical disc with double the capacity of my entire computer - hopefully it burns a lot faster than DVD *lol*

Click start on the backup, come back a week later...

I'm sticking with Super Beta Hi-Fi.

I remember reading something a while ago about how holograms would be best for storage, and could have been done a while ago, but no one did it. Neat. Now I can get the entire lord of the rings triology, plus extras on only like, three discs.

Already heard of it, waiting on it w/ baited breath... no, Blueray is pretty much thee next phase of optical storage.

no. MYSPACE makes me hate humanity. Myspace and Emo.

Optical Hard Drives. The future.

So you people are saying you haven't passed the terrabyte porn mark yet? Slackers.

This is going to be huge for places that deal with large datastores. I know of one place that averages two terrabytes of data a week. already.

I'm still using my 8x cd burner.

I feel behind the times.

1000GB Porn? You would have to a total n00b lamer to only have 1000GB of porn.

I remeber not too long ago when I was agog at my brand new six gig hard drive. I couldn't imagine ever needing more drive space. I mean, I had like, every level of wolfenstine AND Duke Nukem 3D on there! What more could I want??

I remember having a computer that couldn't load Command and Conquer and Red Alert at the same time, but it was still pimp. My god, I'm old, that must have been, like, what, 94? I remember it was right after Columbus came back with news of this whole 'America' thing.

Hell, I remember back when King's Quest 4 was an epic sized game, at the whopping total of 10 Megs. I mean, it took like FIVE floppies to install!
