What do you believe will supersede the compact disk? Hard drive?

  • they make nice shelf decor, especially in collections.

but if you see what i mean, if you own a game on steam for example, you pay and its yours, its more like your paying to have access to it, not owning it.

an elaborate mechanical system of recording data on microscopic levers inside small metal boxes, powered by a miniature underwater steam powered rabbit.

I’d like the idea of cartriges to go mainstream again, but only if the medium resembles something like the MicroSD cards.

#44

i’m pretty sure that’s how it actually is legally, and thats why valve can just take all your shit away for absolutely no reason

you’re renting it from them if you got it on steam, you don’t own it so they can terminate it for any reason at all

SDXC is the future

Same size as SD cards now, but holds up to 2TB. Transfer rates from 800-2400 Mbit/sec

:awesome:

The thread title is misleading.

It’s probably the ‘will’ part. Dude, it’s already happening

#47

Who bumped this thread? Who the fuck bumped that? Who’s the slimy little communist shit, twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh? The fairy fucking godmother bumped it. Out-fucking-standing! I will PT all your asses until you fucking DIE, I will PT your ass until its over sucking buttermilk. Was it you shwabonka? You scroungy little fuck?

I know guys, lets be a little fuck tard like him and go on a bumping spree, shall we?

U MAD?

CDs may be cheap, but you can’t fit anything on them anymore. DVDs are slow to write, but BluRay is what’s big enough to fit lots of data. BluRay discs cost a hell of a lot of money, so USB flash drives compete with them in price, with less storage. I think with a bit of time, Flash Memory will beat mechanical drives. It will be worth it for many reasons: no moving parts, takes up less physical space, could be re-used, less waste, etc… Hard drives are not the future either, look at the new MacBook Air, it uses Flash memory. I’m sure that in 10 years every computer will have Flash storage.

We better go back to floppies where we get a message to chance disk every half a second. Best days ever.

#52

Never realized how kick ass that car was till now…damn, I gotta get me one of those

#53

^^hahaha, indeed

#54

I remember watching a cousin of mine installing brand new Windows 95 in floppy disks. He spent half a night doing it.

#55

Ugh… don’t remind me, I once did it with only 1 floppy and 2 computers. By the end I had to format it twice or 3 times just to install the last disk.

#56

I don’t really give a shit how all this changes etc, but I will always want a hard copy, even if it means killing the planet slowly.

#57

The future is cloud based system for almost everything. it’s may not be the next generation of tech, but it’s coming. people will begin to start buying licenses to play games, and not actually own them, publishers will push out the middle man and digitally distribute. Oh and the servers will use these

it’s only going to get worse, corporations will suck the internet dry until it’s run like television. believe it or not, but this is the golden age of free information.

#58

Hard drives will most likely be replaced by SSD’s once they become cheaper and can hold more storage. CD’s and DVD’s have been dying out due to internet downloads such as Itunes, Netflix streaming, app stores, etc. So it’s only a matter of time before they’re completely replaced.

#59

this will supersede all computers.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
