The Death of HD-DVD
ruyi:
oh geez, i recently had my hard drive die on me. that's a great link!
jill the ripper:
I heard something about Wal-mart going exclusively Blu-ray (blue-ray? i don't know. Whatever.), which is actually kind of surprising.
Blu-ray is the superior format, but costs more. It's comparable to Beta. And we all knew who won in the VHS vs. Beta show down.
The one cheaper to make. But the better format that costs more is actually winning.
It's bad new for me, soon, as in the next decade my DVD player will be almost essentially useless. Just figured out to use the damned thing, too.
Granted, all the above is what my father said, so it might be a steaming pile of crap. It's from the same man who convinced me that buffaloes have wings.

That is amazing. Unnecessary for me right now, but good to know about this option.

You guys are insane.

depends on the value of the stuff on it, the value of the hardware, the bullet, and where I get shot. I would prefer to just be wearing a bulletproof vest though. If I had to get shot. I would prefer the most to not get shot at at all.
I don't think my current HD would be worth it, but if I had some really advanced, expensive one, maybe.

I need to download this when it becomes compatible with firefox 3.
