palladium is stupid though. once this palladium thing takes over the world i'm switching to linux. this article talks about the new xp longhorn which is pretty interesting, and it makes a reference to terrabyte hard drives coming out in 2004

Palladium is about giving M$ and its cronies the key to your PC. Better hope that key doesn't fall into the hands of anybody with sinister motives. But, gee, that never happens, does it?

All this from the company that needs a service pack for WinXP SP-1??? Goodness.... I've still got that free copy of BeOS I got while I was at MSU and Linux easy enough to d/l. I keep saying I'm going to finish my Linux box.....maybe a dual boot Linux/BeOS....Hmmmm....

Enderle said the new file system will also function efficiently with hard drives holding at least one terabyte of data. That's 1,000 gigabytes, or well over 1,000 compressed movies, or more than 700,000 novels the size of "War and Peace." Such drives are expected to hit the market by 2004.

I want a drive like that.

Think of how much pr0n you can put on there

You COULD have over 1000 compressed movies, and or 700,000 novels.......a very interesting simile for for something they are trying to supress. And now watch me pull a rabbit from my hat...oh wait, that's copyrighted.
