lets see here he said 8-10 feet a cd is .05 inches thick so if we just go by his lower end of 8 feet thats 96 inches 96/.05 = 1920 cd -- and thats on the low scale it can easily by over 2000 cds as you indicated. now lets say each of these cds had 680 megs on it you are looking at 1.3 terabytes worth of "data" not knowing when "back in the day" is for the OP to judge prices and all if 1TB hard drives were around -- I believe Limewire started in 2005 so I believe then you were able to get a 300 gig hard drive for about 100 bucks? I could be wrong on that figure but I remember getting a 250 gig drive back then for around 85 bucks. so it would have cost the OP 500 bucks roughly to buy the necessary hard drives to keep all his data instead of cds....Now drive sizes and prices have come down since then and he can easily buy a 1.5 TB drive now for around 100 if not cheaper but I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he burned these cds at the time when larger sized drives were not available. (if he say burned them in 2008 when he could have gotten a 750 gig drive for around 120 then it would have only cost him 250 or so for his "data" storage) now cds have not really fluctuated in price the general price is 100 cds for 20 bucks sometimes its a lot more or you can find it for a lot less (sales for 10 dollars) but generally if you can find 100 cds for 20 bucks its not a bad price so the cost for his 1920+ cds would have been 400 dollars just for the cds alone now if this is 2005 again then it would have probably taken him 10 minutes per cd burn...lets drop this burn time down to an average of 7 minutes per cds taking into consideration as the years went on he may have gotten a faster cd burner. so 1920 * 7 = 224 hours i personally equate time with money so lets say if he works a min wage job where the min wage rate was $4.75 in 2005 but then raised in 2006 to $5.15 (talking federal here state min wage could be even higher) but lets say its $5 dollars (when most likely it was more) so 224 x 5 = 1120 and to be fair again if he had worked these hours he would have probably only seen roughly 60% of this (assuming the OP is single which is reasonable considering he has 1920+ cds worth of p*rn) so that would mean his "take home" is 670 dollars. now if these are SATA I drives I believe the average transfer rate for those are 45mb/sec but for the sake of ease lets say about 400 megs gets transferred per minute (if anyone believes this number is too low or high go ahead and say so - i am just estimated based on what I have experienced) so 1.3 tb/400 = 3250 minutes which is a little over 54 hours so 55 hours (this seems really high though i am pretty sure i can easily transfer over 1.3tb in less than 2 hours now but its now not its 5 years ago) once again 55 x $5 = 275 and 60% of that is $165 so lets revisit here - vaioavan63 said he didnt feel like buying another hard drive - or drives considering the time period this would have been at By my conservative estimate it would have cost him 600 dollars for the drives necessary to store his "data" and $165 of his time to transfer the data to the drives so $765 dollars total on the flip side with the cds it would have cost him 400 dollars for the cds, lets say 50 dollars for a cost of a faster cd burner (otherwise the avg burn time per cd would still be around 10 mins not 7) and 670 dollars of his time thats 1120 dollars total and these are just conservative estimates on my part bottom line: you should have 1) not downloaded so much p*rn and b) just bought a hard drive its far most cost effective and also a lot easier to keep and a whole lot easier to destroy/wipe data if you have to. I couldnt even imagine where I would keep 2000 cds of anything around if they were in spindles, or cd folders.
Sent, and that's the end of the invites. Enjoy fellas, and try to keep your ratio near 1.5 or so to stay in good standing

<br> Just noticed this message, I sent it to you today along with the other two that were in my email. I had no idea they were in there because they went directly to spam lol Edit: BigSexy, get me your email and i'll hook you up either today or tomorrow.
A demonoid invite would be greatly appreciated if anyone has one left. rocketsfan1101@yahoo.com I have a large library.
i have a demonoid account but have never tried to give invites. just created one invitation code. how many can i create? who wants it? just reply to this n give a rep to moestavern. the guy needs it.
Hey guys, I just heard about this crazy thing called NAPSTER. It lets you download and store digital music files on your computer. It can log gnarly speeds of up to 5 kB/s on a standard connection. My friends at the pentagon said they can get speeds up to 50 kB/s with their new "DSL" internet connection!!!
okay......so apparently yahoo doesn't accept emails from Demonoid so I can't activate my account and I just used up my god-damn invitation code
