    How to hard-lock a Linux box: step 1. Insert a scratched or dirty CD. Step 2, try to advance through songs. We have made 0 progress since the early 90s. Even the mouse pointer stops moving and you can't switch to a console!

      I'm surprised the technology doesn't seem to really have improved much from DVD to Bluray, other than raw storage space, given how insistent some organisations have been on staying purely in the physical realm. Download speeds are a solid argument against using physical media, but having the option to back your downloads up is important too

      Well, they did make an optical drive that has multiple lasers and multiple read-assemblies. This gives a greater read rate, while not spinning the disk so fast that it explodes from the force. I wonder if anybody has tried making a hard drive with two read-arms, one on each side. This would give faster performance without spinning the disk faster too.
