No, unlikely that it is FUD. But it would be FUD with impeccable timing, if true.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I hope that if, at some point in your toolish existence you have an original thought that might make you some money, it is mercilessly ripped off by dozens of coward internet thieves who then giggle about how cool it is that they can steal without getting a foot in their ass.

No worries about the format of hardware as long as you keep it all on a hard drive. Just about every HD video out there is now available free of charge on the net anyway. Piracy.

2 hour movie at 10MBit/sec is 9 GB, isn't it? Or are you simplifying and saying 10MBit/sec is acceptable bitrate but still much less than BR?Originally posted by Asher
So given your 10GB cap and the 50GB size of most Bluray media, you could watch 1 Bluray movie every 5 days if you didn't do anything else on your network.

If there is any god, blu-ray will be the last mainstream optical disc medium. everything is switching to wireless thanks primarily to the iTunes store.Originally posted by Q Cubed

And asher, I bet you are drowning in your tears..you predicted PS3 would not have a hard drive, that HD DVD would triumph because of technobabble problems with blu ray..Where is your crap now, probably in your mouth..with your shoe and foot.Comment

The internet can not take the traffic it would take to download a lot out of it. Stuff like flash-drives can not hold anything to blu-ray (and hd-dvd).“...This means GCA won 7 battles against our units, had Horsemen retreat from 2 battles against NMs, and lost 0 battles.” --Jon Shafer 1st ISDGComment

Flash drives able to hold blu-ray capacity (25GB) exist now, actually:
I'm not sure if the internet today could handle traffic like that, but there's no theoretical reason why it couldn't in the not very distant future.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Now we can see why Warner made the sudden decision to switch formats.
$400M should do the trick, they thought.

Impressive, especially for a studio that was thought to be on its last legs.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
