No way we could prevent that. Well there is a way but not by installing some software. I prefer to run SETI@Home and some other projects in BOINC (Protein recognition, Pulsar Finder).

The HD-DVD and Blu-Ray haven't kicked in yet and here comes new storage. Long time will pass by till we start using 1TB.But what about performance issues? 200 layers will drive the laser-head crazy.

Samsung YP-Z5F Specs: Storage: Flash Capacity: 4 GB FM Radio: Yes Color Display: Yes Interface Type: USB 1.1, USB 2.0 Weight: 58 g Dimensions: 42.2 x 89.8 x 12.3 mm Supported audio formats: ASF, MP3, WMA Very good sound quality. Compared to the HD soundcard on my laptop the YP-Z5F plays broader frequency range IMHO. The strange thing about this device is the mixture between normal buttons and touch-pad, which requires "getting used to" time. The Flash storage does not interfere with the FM tuner.
