If i'm interested in some documentaries and movies in HD format but the budget goes sky high. A 320GB hdd holds barelly 20 HD 1080ip movies, and the blu-ray burners are out of the question.
I wanna build my self a DiY projector 1280x1024 (720p HD) and would be nice HD format movies instead of normal dvd's.
Do you have HD stuff on your hdd's?

Hard drives are hardly expensive these days. Just buy a load, get an IDE to USB connector and store the drives in your desk drawer. I have a couple of 160gb drives in my desk drawer that are keeping files I don't need on my PC all the time but can't bear to delete (old Thundercat episodes for instance).

true true ... i like to have around 150 movies and 100 documentaries. that's ... aaa 10 TB = 20 500GB hdd's = 220$ x 20 = 4400$ in let's say half a year... still much

Doesn't really seem worth it given the marginal boost in picture quality you'll get. Perhaps be more selective in what you keep and wait until Blu-Ray (or the other one) becomes an affordable option.

Floppy disks must be cheap these days, split the file and you'll be laughing.

And also if you want HD stuff then http://bit-hdtv.com is worth a look.

However I don't see the point.

I'll give you my invites for three parties this weekend. Yeah, they're supposed to be for people I know and trust but I'm sure the party organizers won't mind me handing over invites as long as I get a good trade for them.

Hoi, cunt. Don't you know and trust me. :cry:

The above was a strange mixture of anger and sadness.

Discuss.

Sorry manker, I get confused with all the sock puppets. Yeah but you know, it doensn't really make any sense having multiple accounts at a free to register forum.. Still only scammers do that..Or ppl anyway with strange intentions..If not so, I'd really love to hear WHY you DO have for one multiple accounts here...

You are some kind of idiot, no?

Like I said I do it so I can scam people. That way when I do I can keep my main accounts so I can watch what's going on and make sure it's safe to create a new account, or activate an old one I created for the purpose of scamming.

The trick is to create them and leave them for a while, just posting the minimum. Then when you are ready make the account active and scam as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

Then sit back with your innocent account and watch what's happening. Getting ready to do it again.

I can do it to you if you want.
