I guess it's different for you...the novelty hasn't worn off for me yet.

 

Mainter, there's some irony in the fact that as a MSCE, I've noticed on more than one occasion you've recommended that people install Linux. Care to elaborate?

 

I'll admit that if I had the means to do so at this point, I'd go with a dual-boot with XP and Linux...both for the sake of convenience, and because I know a lot more about system maintenance than I did when I started out.

 

But, Linux is more than adequate 95% of the time. I just get sick of waiting for apps to be ported to Linux...and having to go through the whole alpha/beta/RC process just to have to compile binary code. .exe is a great tool, if you understand how powerful it is and don't use it indiscriminately.

 

I'm having installer issues today...in case you haven't noticed.

That's about what I thought. It's funny, all three of those distros are completely different, but all of them are good.

 

Mine is distantly related to Slackware, but I prefer something Debian-based running KDE.

 

You're right, having MS training is like money in the bank. I think it would drive me crazy having to use Linux on a regular basis and fix things in MS, however.

What is a Blu-ray Disc?

A current, single-sided, standard DVD can hold 4.7 GB of information. That's about the size of an average two-hour, standard-definition movie with a few extra features. But a high-definition movie, which has a much clearer image takes up about five times more bandwidth and therefore requires a disc with about five times more storage. As Tv sets and movie studios make the move to high definition, consumers are going to need playback systems with a lot more storage capacity.

 

Blu-ray is the next-generation digital video disc. It can record, store and play back high-definition video and digital audio, as well as computer data. The advantage to Blu-ray is the sheer amount of information it can hold:

 

* A single-layer Blu-ray disc, which is roughly the same size as a DVD, can hold up to 27 GB of data -- that's more than two hours of high-definition video or about 13 hours of standard video.

 

* A double-layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50 GB, enough to hold about 4.5 hours of high-definition video or more than 20 hours of standard video. And there are even plans in the works to develop a disc with twice that amount of storage.

Blu-ray discs not only have more storage capacity than traditional DVDs, but they also offer a new level of interactivity. Users will be able to connect to the Internet and instantly download subtitles and other interactive movie features.
