The 500,000 GB MP3 Player

Just saw this in DRB and was thinking what would you need that much memory on an MP3 player? See it here[^] Wow Mike

Wait, unless i made an error on calcy here, that would hold about 10240000 uncompressed 16-bit stereo, wave files. And of course if you use a better lossless format, like flac or something, that could potentially double. Hey, now those crazy 128kbps MP3 people won't have any excuse for their low quality audio. I know some people don't mind it, but i just can't enjoy music encoded at such bitrates.

AHAHA I dont think Christian Death Jazz is even a real genre... Every time someone asks what type of music I listen to, thats what I tell them lol

When I get born-again-Christians come to my door and ask what church I go to I usually make up some weird sounding orthodox buddist or some crap. I've gotten into some interesting conversations if they don't tak the hint and just go away! Mike

AHAHAHAHA... some people go to extreme efforts to get rid of people at their doors... you know if you just say "go away" and shut the door it works better, or as many people in regional Australia are doing, come to the door with a gun... after the person craps themselves, i bet they leave lol

People like me.
The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

I never said it would be safe for the person who lived there X| But im sure it is effective, unless the person at your door is insane

Who amongst us could legally afford to own 500,000 GB's (isn't that 500 TB's?) of music?

Really? I don't have any knowledge in this field, but I thought in NTFS, MBR supports only 2*1024 GB as the maximum partition size. I might be completely wrong since I cane barely recall this value. Considering that limitation we need 500,000 / 2048 > 244 partitions. what happens to drive letters then(c, d, ..., z, ?)? [edit]Is it possible to have 1 partition? [/edit] Also I think this much memory exceeds maximum volume size, considering current XP cluster size. By the way talking on assumptions that are not true, is a bad mistake I sometimes make. You seems to be knowledgeable in this field. I'm interested to know more. I'm specially interested to know how long does it take to format this partition considering latencies like usual today (nand) flash memories.

}I would hope it would come pre-formatted. I would also hope there wouldn't be a long wait while scanning the library. (I tried using VS Server Explorer to show Views on a DB with >36000 views. Excrutiating. :(( :zzz: )

The memory yes, but the music? :)

Buy the MP3 player - steal the music. It's the American way. :) Then again, it should come pre-loaded, with back-up copies, as 0.5 exa-bytes would take a few days to download. By the time you'd complete downloading, you'd have to run out and but the newer model. :omg:

}Well according to Wikipedia you can have 264 clusters so that using the defaults under Windows would imply 4KB ==>
4096*2^64 = 75557863725914323419136
500,000GB~500000*1024^3 = 500000*1073741824 = 536870912000000Even if you didn't take into consideration the cluster size then you'd still be way over the 500,000GB limit. And that's just for one volume under NTFS, you'd probably be able to have another 3+ volumes on a disk if you could find one big enough.

It's currently more cost effective to simply hack or infiltrate a supercomputer, load it with a bunch of multimedia, install a streaming server, connect your home media PC to it, and watch/listento anything you want without ever having to put in a disc. Of course, when trying to find something to put all those 800MB DivX movies on, one quickly notices that most supercomputers are operated by DOE, in some way. Breaking into US Govt. buildings can be dangerous. But... The Texas Advanced Computing Center is another story altogether. I know what your thinking: doing a B&E in TEXAS!? "Your gonna get shot!" Lookit, I'm from Missipi (how we pronounce it), and we kick a lot of Texan butt, aight? In any case, these aint the steers of Texas: these here are the geeks. They ain't no problem. Why go through all the trouble in the first place? Read the specs on this thing: http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/resources/hpcsystems/[^] Notice the 123 TERABYTES of RAM and 1.73 PETABYTES of storage! Wow... :wtf: I'll never have to worry about storage again... heck, can do it all in-memory on this baby. Just a thought for everyone waiting on the nanotech. There are always more practical opportunities. :cool:
