Three HD Layers Today, Ten Layers Tomorrow 117
Marcus Yam writes "While Toshiba has publicly announced its achievement of developing a triple-layer HD DVD-ROM (read only) disc with a capacity of 51 gigabytes, Ritek is disclosing behind closed doors at CES its own achievements in multi-layer HD optical media. Ritek claims to not only have been able to produce a three-layer and four-layer HD optical discs, but to have successfully designed HD media with a full 10 layers. The company says that its multi-layer process can be applied to both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats."

Making the box bigger makes it harder to think outside the box. Being unable to think outside the box kills creativity.

If this is some sort of troll, you need to make it less plausible. This is Slashdot.
If this is serious, you need to be slapped around a bit.
Either way, I got a belly laugh out of it, so thanks.
how much space for storage is enough? (Score:3, Interesting)
It's a little more convenient, but most of the time 4.7 GB is enough space for your data.
I have more than 160GB on my hdds. If I go through all of my files and delete those I think I may not need anymore I may be able to reduce my backup needs to 100GB, so I'd still need 20 single layer dvds to backup everything. And when I finally get a dslr camera my storage needs will be a lot higher. Now I realize not many people have these storage requirements, but there are some who do.
