Revision as of 15:34, 11 April 2007

Hei,

i don't like the idea of including large scale pictures for everything. While i can see the benefits of it, i think it wastes too much server space.

I want to ask for other peoples opinions here. I'd recommend including only small scale pictures comparable in size and style to the ones included in the model categories or like on the UltraBay Plus Devices pages.

What's other peoples opinions?

For the record, the two pictures are ~60K each. If each and every one of the (currently) 479 pages that are "probably legitimate content pages" had a similar load, the total disk space for images would be around 60MB. --Thinker 18:20, 30 Sep 2005 (CEST)


Hei Thinker,

Sure, whatever you feel is best.
By the way, the reason I took the trouble with those pictures is that it took me a while to figure out the "Plus" designation part and whether that specific drive is or is not a "Plus" model (the abbreviated notation on the drive is confusing).

Region-enforcing firmware

<rant> Damn, I don't believe I've paid this much for a broken-by-design DVD drive with firmware that enforces region coding in a way that blocks DeCSS. A flight-faring laptop owner would never want to watch movies on both sides of the Atlantic, right? These greedy, braindead bastards have evidently inhaled too many Windows keys. </rant>
