But but but.... it has an animated gif on the frontpage!  How can it not be quality?

[color=66ff00]Errrrmmm. That doesn't make much sense. You can at least blame some Trek wannabe on the technobabble.

Unless you're just defending Trek again.
Ok, repeat after me: 'Startrek is just not very good of late'.

If you think Trekkies technobabble much, you haven't really visited the SB.com forums in the VS debates

No, it's just that Warsies always use those big figures Apparantly, a Stardestroyers has numerous 200GT weapons, multi GT weapons. And hundreds of them on a single ship.

I could only see the correlation between the 100 Terabyte and a Warsies ability to make stuff ridiculously stupendously large.

[color=66ff00]Heheh ok I have seen that before. I remember some guy trying to figure out the output of a turbolaser based on the fact that it can destroy an iron based asteriod.

Turned out that it was some obscene number.

[aldo_14]

So.... is the storage COLOSSAL, or is it the corporation which is COLOSSAL?

I would even be satisfied with a single Terrabyte winchester(AKA hard drive ). That space is simply impossible to take up. They are trying to kill 10 birds with a single bullet, it is no use.

That's a competitive hardware:

give some people a few weeks, and i'll bet they could fill that thing up with porn

[TopAce]

Perhaps it was designed for that purpose.
OK, I will shut up.

[Stealth]

i don't know how you can fill it up any way else!

There aren't 100 TB of MP3s on the whole planet.  The only thing that could fill up 100 TB is porn.

Every single stills of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, in BMP format.
Forgive a piece of Maths to me:

100 Terrabyte is : 104857600 Megabytes.
So, even if you have a 512 Kb/sec download connection, you wouldn't be able to seize that much space since even the downloads would take more than two weeks:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The downloads would take 104857600 x 2 seconds, so 209715200 seconds. It means 58254 hours, which equals 2427! days. so estimatedly, 7 years.
My calculations may be incorrect(and I am not sure about it, I am not good at maths).

Exactly While in most instances they barely dent the armor on a fighter. Or merely create a 5 meter in diameter hole on the planet surface.

Not that I care... I don't like SW anyhow.

A Terabyte probably isn't that much in terms of mass storage i.e. archiving.  I belive that the attempt to back up the US national library of congress (or something similar - national library, anyways) onto digital takes up multiple terabytes.  And that's excluding backups.

For high-performance rendering, i.e. CGI, I'd imagine a similarly huge amount of memory is required per film.

Yeah, I do that automatically... (once again ... ugh...)

Okayyy... That was random

[Ghostavo]

A Terabyte isn't much... at all... believe me when I tell you that you can fill +\- 1/3 of a Terabyte HDD in no time (aprox. 4, 5 days!).
