]]> Comment on Optical Media is Dead… Thank God! by Ben http://www.ellisbenus.com/ellis-benus/optical-media-is-dead-thank-god/comment-page-1/#comment-7892 Ben Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:02:45 +0000 http://www.ellisbenus.com/ellis-benus/optical-media-is-dead-thank-god/#comment-7892 AMEN! Ignore the shouts and honking of the monkeys commenting here, optical is DEAD. It deserves to die and is on it's deathbed as we speak. Sure, it served a purpose, but now its time to move on. There are tons of technologies that are on their way out once the infrastructure and the usage hits a tipping point: land-line telephones, Fax Machines, the combustion engine and film based recording media. The real question is WHY does the death of optical scare so many? Sure it will probably linger as a niche tech, the way vinyl has. But it's dead. @Sam I distribute video, audio and photos to 1000s of people each day. I use bittorrent, facebook, youtube, email and FTP. EVERYONE has a HDD. AMEN!

Secondly please don't compare a mp3 to a CD. MP3s were meant to be listened to on cheap stereo music players not high fidelity speakers. CD audio will always have the best pure quality that cannot be replaced by compressed MP3s. Finally, hard drives are cheap but they are not distributable. If you had to distribute a video to 100 people would you buy 100 hard drives? You're obviously thinking to much about how nice it would be if the world were only flash. But flash is also a environmentally destructive. More resources are wasted created hard drives and flash chips than producing plastic recyclable optical media that use organic dyes. You say that digital downloads don't harm the environment but what you don't realize is how much energy network servers waste per hour by just being turned on. All forms of technology damages the environment, the destruction from the internet is just not immediately visible.

I got a ghetto version of P90X. Once I get my ducks in a row, I'll give that a try. I know you have a goal for why you're doing this. I tend to get on health "kicks" only to quit a couple of weeks in. I think a goal will help me stay the course with my workout, so this time I am researching 1/2 marathons. There don't seem to be any locally until Fall (I missed them!), so I may look to STL and KC for more Springtime options. I don't know if you like cardio, but I'm tired of not having my flat stomach anymore! Lemme know if you wanna get in on some 1/2 marathon-action. Good for you, Ellis! I got a ghetto version of P90X.

That HIIT program body for life does is the best cardio workouts out there. You can actually burn more calories in 20 mins than at 40 mins at a steady pace. It's hard to do cardio I think but I figure if I'm gonna go, I'm gonna HIIT it hard. We pretty much had the same workout. That HIIT program body for life does is the best cardio workouts out there.
