I remember a time when a 640mb hard drive was a respectable size. This was just before the advent of easy to use CD Ripping software.
Now, as hard drive sizes continue to follow Moore's Law, I began to dream of a day when we'd have hard drives so big that we wouldn't even have to worry about space anymore. of course, I'm coming to the realization I was wrong. I just recently installed a 500 GB hard drive on my computer, bringing me up to a total storage space of 830 GB. I just checked my available space and somehow I've already filled up 415 GB, and I've only just begun ripping all my back logged movies onto my drive. Its pretty obvious I'm going to need a new drive soon. I should probably just opt for a terabyte drive.
Anyway, I think that we are reaching a critical mass for movie ripping software and the moment the movie industry's been dreading, when DVDs are as easy to rip as CDs is coming quickly.
So go out and buy a new hard drive because the revolution WILL be ripped!
