  1. Does anyone know of a good monitor of IIS, that can show you what the user is accessing, how big the file is, how much has been transfered etc?

    I've tried IIStracer, and it's what i want but the trial ran out and i'm on a limited budget of anything free or that can be made free.

     

  2. i'm trying opera on my pda, works pretty well as you can see. i must say, Opera seems the most ported browser out there. Has anyone found a way to run Mosaic on Windows XP for some old school 1337 surfing? Also, don't you have to pay for Opera? Kind of a downside? or is it just for an adfree version?

    Raids close file-sharing server

    Bulldozer destroying pirated DVDs and CDs, Reuters

    The Razorback server held an index of pirated movies and albums

    Joint raids by police in Belgium and Switzerland have shut down a popular file-sharing server.

     

    The Razorback2 server was part of the Edonkey file-sharing network and was used by a third of the system's users.

     

    Whole Story

  4. In nearly half of the star trek episodes, some for of logs has been deleted. Isn't this a security risk. Don't you think it would be better if they were practically undeletable. ATM it seems like nearly any ensign is able to hide information by just deleting logs, why is that so?

  5. The speed of all disc based systems, is limited by the data density, the disc rotational speed and the read/write head. The first two have the largest impact, really.

     

    I don't think you can use it to replace a hdd, since the mentioned speed is sequential speed. Access times are far greater however and so it the time to switch between writing and reading.

     

    The first types will be launched this year, but their storage capacity will be limited to 300 GB and speeds will also be equally lower. The technology is intended to replace the old tape-backup drives and it will be a long time before it reches the consumer market. Should you be interested in buying one, be ready to pay over $15000 for the device itself and $120 for a 200 GB disc, the 300 GB disc type will be released later on and is expected to be more expensive than the 200 GB model.

     

    I'm sticking to simple single layer DVD for the time being, serves my wallet well. :D

     

    so how would you make a optical disc better? also, how about if you could write from the top side and only read from the bottom side. Would that speed stuff up?

     

  6. i recently read

     

    For me, the issue is that both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are DRM-laden. Yes, they have a pretty decent increase in quality and capacity, but since we're going to have to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars for the next gen stuff, we consumers need to make sure that the tech is friendly to us!

     

    For this reason, I see the new Holographic Versatile Disc, as being potentially awesome. I mean, 1.2 TB, and the same form factor... and ::crosses fingers:: .... no DRM!!! I mean yea, HVD might cost $120/disc right now... that price will go down... ALOT. Besides, that means that it only costs $0.10/GB(1.2TB)-, whereas BD is going to cost $0.80-$1.00/GB(25GB for ~$24.00).

     

    and thought about it. So i googled it and found This

    This says that you could get a data rate of about a gigabyte a second.

    I was wondering, what limits the speed that you can get data off an optical disc. And would you be able to use these holographic discs instead of hard drives. You could maybe even use optical cable to transfer the data to the processor. Any comments?
