Stupid Torrent clients. My HDDs are 50% more full now.
Good thing I got that Digital Video Disc Creation Unit. I think I need a mirrored set of 400GB Seagate SATAs or something.

I'm rollin with a 300GB SATA seagate right now!

They seem to have a much better price-point, so I may go with mirrored 300s instead. It'll be a little bit though.

hows the serial ackshun mcnevin? Is it an amazing difference in performance enough to rival a 64bit processor?
damn, i'm fallin behind...
It seems DDR2 is everywhere these days as well. Can someone please tell me what happened to BTX?

I think people will be big into BTX when they are big into dual core procs.

Regarding your earlier post, i think that has been officially renamed to:
Digital Versatile Disc

The debate has been raging since their inception in the mid 90s. I think Versatile is more appropriate.

I have dowloaded 43gb in the las 39 days with bittorrent!

I've uploaded 60gb, i gotta cool it a bit. Im going to be on the ISP radar for sure.

Can you imagine the ISP radar? The internet would be one gigantic blip. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It just doesn't seem economically profitable for an ISP to track heavy bandwidth. Are they sniffing your packets? Just tell them you are really, really into porn. You work for an ISP - how much do they really care?

The ISP usually doesn't care until you get a letter from Ted Turner, or Electronic Arts legal department.

Actually cox USED to slap wrists for going over 30 gigs per month.
They discontinued that policy about a year ago.
