Somewhere you can buy a 7200 RPM 200 gig for like $40 AUS.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #976 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:17:47 AM »

Yeah. My 250 gig was $45

Ultradude · « **Reply #977 on:** June 24, 2009, 04:25:56 PM »

Well the 19 gig... that was my parents spending as little money as possible/not knowing the importance of a decent HD. In '03. I blame Dell for selling it.

Now I've got 250 on my laptop, which is probably more than enough.

Dunefar · « **Reply #978 on:** June 24, 2009, 04:44:27 PM »

I use maybe 20 gigs of space on my computer. Yet they throw 250+ gigs of space at me as the minimum for a new computer. Oh well.

Sierra · « **Reply #979 on:** June 24, 2009, 04:54:50 PM »

Yep. My new computer has something like 250 gigs? I haven't the slightest clue what I would actually use all of that for. Had been running on a computer with something like 20 for eight years, so all you people complaining about lack of space are putzes.

Until Hulu happened, I watched most of my television by downloading since I work nights most of the time. That and anime are a lot of it. Plus the minimum install for your average PC game is like four gigs now.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #981 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:24:01 PM »

Nah, not putzes, dirty pirates. Difference.
*glances* computer tells me I have a 20~ gig drive and am using around 10.

Ultradude · « **Reply #982 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:28:49 PM »

Well before the great wipe, I was using over 150 of my 250. Most of that me being a dirty pirate and not having discs to burn things too.

AAA · « **Reply #983 on:** June 24, 2009, 06:26:27 PM »

600 GB drive rep rep represent

superaielman · « **Reply #984 on:** June 24, 2009, 06:30:27 PM »

Frontin like a tank on easy mode, Trips. Shame.

AAA · « **Reply #985 on:** June 24, 2009, 06:39:05 PM »

Don't make me frag you on Advanced again.

Grefter · « **Reply #986 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:34:35 PM »

Man how the shit can you do anything with that. My Music folder that is mostly the stuff I own and have ripped myself is 35 gig. Like just music.

AAA · « **Reply #987 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:43:52 PM »

I've used up about 100 GB on mine and none of it is music. Well, I guess the sound files for L4D and the like are music, but you know what I mean.

NotMiki · « **Reply #988 on:** June 25, 2009, 01:23:27 AM »

on the other side of things, had a 300 GB internal drive go bad on me, filled with stuff I didn't have backups for. got most of it off in the end (had to rerip my cds), but yuck.

Captain K. · « **Reply #989 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:30:44 AM »

Flying to St. Louis tomorrow for the Pokemon Nationals. Be back Monday, see y'all later.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #990 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:31:49 AM »

Good luck, Cap.

Go kick some ass.

Wait, Michael Jackson died?

... huh.

Cotigo · « **Reply #993 on:** June 26, 2009, 07:52:54 AM »

OKs (and Meeples) everywhere mourn.

Grefter · « **Reply #994 on:** June 26, 2009, 08:20:04 AM »

It would be a sad day if the last album he had not been 8 years ago, preceded by a full decade before a full album before that (HiStory doesn't count since it is just a Best of with 1/2 new tracks track, which is an industry standard for not dead artists).

He was brilliant in his day. His day was 20 years ago.

Edit -"HIStory" has sold over twenty million copies worldwide[28] and, according to MSNBC, is the best-selling multiple-disc album of all-time.

From Wiki, meh still doesn't count.

Idun · « **Reply #995 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:34:56 AM »

Man, good luck Captain K. I didn't think Pokemon was so big like that, considering I've tried ignoring Pokemon from playing.... one of its installments. I wonder what something like that is like! Kick some Poke-butt (??)!

Hah, you sound like those people always telling professional athletes to retire once they're not as good as they were in their prime, "to preserve their legacy." Don't let that lifetime win percentage go down with a few years of lesser-quality work! Retire now so we can only remember you at your greatest.

Sierra · « **Reply #997 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:09:42 PM »

"Smart lad, to slip betimes away," and so on. Also--

Bah. The thing is, the RIAA counts every disc in a multi-disc set as a sale. I'm not precisely sure where those numbers came from, but there's a good chance the actual figure was half that much.

*Points out that Farah Fawcett died, which is totally more important.*

My issue is more actually that is exactly what he did do. I don't really consider an artist that puts out 2 new albums in as many decades (Dangerous being the last one he put out when he was being prolific) as exactly throwing their weight around. If he had kept putting out shit every few years, it might have sucked but at least he would have been doing something. This is probably the same reason I can't bring myself to care about Death Magnetic. Sure it is a huge jump over St Anger, but fuck, Metallica got more press between Reload and St Anger (again, S&M doesn't count here) for being against piracy than they were for playing music, which is really pointless.
