[littlec916]

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

Too bad I can't find one for Mac..

[sleestak119]

Jurassic Park computer.

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

@sleestak119 watch?v=v9WiN1Dyyfg&feature=re­lated

[JereHakala]

Or iPhone.

[Anonymous5125]

Similar to SpaceMonger

[Squizzirrel]

If I recall correctly... Damn Small Linux (if not the current installment, then maybe one of the earlier ones) had something like this, but it was a space exploration type thing. And stars were the files inside of folder solar systems.

[Klibbnisse]

'why aint the gaming companies thinking of this when they're designing gaming levels. A game that analyze the harddrive and then modify the game slightly depending on what you've got. Like taking images from the hdd and to use as billboards, integrating mp3 files into an in-game radio and, in more abstract games, base a complete level out of what types of files you've got.

That would be awesome...

[afiq980]

Erm, you shouldnt have told the internet this. You could have made money out of this idea :D

[Edd360]

The guy who's desktop was being filmed should have played 2 girls 1 cup with the sound off, near the end he isn't watching the screen.

[chazzyfizzle1234]

man, all his vids are soo laggy

[SweHanzon]

Wasn't there a similiar feature on the computers in the Jurassic Park film? The one that came out a mere 16 years ago =P

[roflmeidleme]

it prolly is the video stream but look at that lag! It looks like that program is lagging really bad b/c of his gpu

[aresproductions000]

do you mean cpu?

[roflmeidleme]

nope. its 3d rendering so im pretty sure it uses the gpu more than cpu for the parallel proc.

[aresproductions000]

o my bad, i thought you ment cpu

[febux]

is there any real use for this software or it s just to see the files ?? i downloaded it but i don t find nothing to help me just have fun watching the files, but it last like 1 minute

[LordReserei]

just downloaded this, think WinDirStat does a better job, it's free too.

[TheWildMoor]

I seen the display pic of this and thought Chris was playing sim city. That is until I read the description

[GodIsKingForever]

cool beans great video

[zerbzvidz24]

This program is amazing. I just freed up about 19 gb of stuff on my hard drive. Thanks!

[Thsiscool]

... .. ....o, E ya later...lol

[unholyblackheart]

go on my page see the reply i give to this video on the video description link

[fall0to0glory]

i got an idea if we flood chris with messages he might change his camera so everyone should spam him till he does and spread this idea plz so upgrade ur cam dude

[supaitachi145]

where do u download this program

[unholyblackheart]

wow my hardrive is like the biggest city XD

[unholyblackheart]

i have the actuall program :D

[ninjadudeX]

anyone else think this looks like the interface they used on the computers in Jurassic park?

[xnf90x2]

why does chris have the most expensive bullshit on his desk? and he fuckin has the worst fucking camera on youtube!

[forrest225]

Its because he has to stream it over the internet. If its super high quality, it won't stream well.

[Mongoosh]

That program is realy cewl

[chivasgeek741]

Winderstat is also great

[bob1787]

looks likes "unix" that they use on the original jurassic park

[07sawyerr]

lol i like the end

[kurtrulez]

It looks pretty cool, and it's handy. But besides the 'cool' factor I don't see the point of it being 3D, still looks great. But I'll keep using my flat one. (just file size view, standerd view option in knoqueror)

[mewletter]

Never knew My Documents folder told almost HALF of my main hard drive's space until I use this little program. LOL Thanks, Chris.

[xxstupid101xx]

Can anyone tell me if it works on Vista?? Please!! I don't really know anything about computer!! :(

[ArmenianSOADfreak]

it does

[xSolraccarloSx]

This is from the website:

"StepTree is free for non-commercial use and should work on any Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP PC with a functional OpenGL implementation. Performance will of course vary depending on the graphics card, processor and memory configuration."

I guess it won't work for Vista... That's a shame cus' I'm getting Vista 64bit in a couple weeks...

[mmstick]

lol that was stupid. If it works with Win XP or any other previous OS then Vista WILL work. Duh

[xSolraccarloSx]

Don't sound so self-righteous, obviously I was ignorant on account of me never trying Vista and not knowing anything about the OS. So thank you for the information, now try not to choke on your own arrogance.

[xxstupid101xx]

thanks anyways!! :D

[xxstupid101xx]

thanks!! it works!! :D

[PirateD0g]

What are those things above the monitors

????

and very nice software

nd Y the vid sooo Crap q?

[BlueXiiter]

tix clocks

[KlasicKumputerz]

Kewl!

[8find3r]

oh, eeya later. lol :) Why visualize my disk in such a way? Some help?

[Adrenalinism]

because its easy to see which files are taking up much space. you could delete them.

[joonburi87]

higher quality videos perhaps?

[guest2424]

I use Disk Piecharter 95.

I love it. You can look it up on google images to get screenshots. Lets you navigate folders in a piechart which can show you % or GB/MB size of files. It is 2D but I find it extremely helpful when I need to clear disk space.

I don't know if it runs that jerky on his PC, hopefully it's the limited frame-rate of the video.

However, I will give it a try.

[guest2424]

I just checked it out, and it is awesome, Thanks Chris, another awesome app, and it is Freeware! I think I might actually like this better than what I have been using: Disk PieCharter 95!

[skierplaterandy]

i used jdisk report before. its pretty good but thisis a bit cooler.

[Cur92mcg]

When I clicked this video I read it as "How to Visualize Flies on Your Hard Drive" :(

[JacobianProductions]

How come all of your videos have such bad frame rates? I've read about the software/hardware you use on Wiki but I still don't understand why you can't get better stuff on youtube than what looks like crappy security camera footage

[MipoFilms]

are you kidding thers team viewr

[darkstar744]

why dont you try team viewer

[DaveTehManProduction]

Cool video!

[benirall1246]

Halo Wars!

[mancole96]

What about linux >:(

[schnurr31]

GrandPerspective is better for a mac

[Judaspriest1992]

I can't seem to find it to download????

[Bandelp]

[mast3rN00b]

kk ty

[ubertytasticSTUDIOS]

cool

[triFeral]

Steptree.

This thing is so cool :3

[JayK0by]

what's the file viewing thing called?

[Watchthetube2140]

Downloaded it and it works great. You could break down to detailed portions of w/e your looking at and more. Got it to work on Vista too. Nice!

[kamprath445]

I heard about this on a FLOSS weekly podcast, thanks for making a vidoe of it.

[juggalo56]

team viewer is better

[choochootrainpro]

Here is a free one. Team Viewer. It's just like o to meeting, but no audio. Just use skype to talk to each other

[james42519]

reminds me of what they used in Jurassic park movie. from what i heard that is a real program they used.

[sceltor]

While browsing through my hard drive I ended up getting an error and just exiting the program. I'm letting my computer sit at idol and my CPU usage is above 25%. I'm using a quad core and my first core is 50-90%. I'll ret a reboot, hope it fixes it.

[ne0ngeek]

ur retarded lmfao

[sceltor]

The ending was funny, he was cut off before he could even say anything. Not everyone has 2 enormous monitors Chris lol.

[BMXcomedy]

Your mom's for cheap people. No offense. Spell offense right please.

[psyfertech]

wow this is a pretty neat program

[fixthejam]

ignoring linux?

racism

[kzone272]

linux is not a race

possibly operating systemism

[ne0ngeek]

im going to sue

[LRonCupboard]

... meanwhile the girl he obsessed about in high school has travelled the world, met loads of really interesting people in her neighbourhood and has a sex life. Of course she's so stupid she has no idea how her computer files are organised. She can only be pitied..

[BenAshton24]

Reminds me of that file management system thing in Jurassic park :P BTW PEOPLES! StepTree works perfectly in wine under Linux XD

[atila339]

nice

[bbeasley39727]

Grand Perspective does the same thing on OS X and is free

[hybr1dfan]

Ohh it is like hackers lol

[CiphersSon]

1.crossloop is free and so is skype

2.i use WinDirStat for the same thing but that looks cool.

3.tibsoft returns a blank page

[LimburgerVinny]

crossloop is unsafe.

everyone who is a little good in hacking can hack you'r pc if you have crossloop running.

just a warning

[XxgodismyrockxX]

hahaha....ohh! e ya later!

[Doctorwhite1995]

i liek this cos my windows explorer takes ages or even crashes if i go somewhere whcih is too big

[Jake0Jacob]

Cool but i don't really need or want it.

[dannybetts123]

[MuscarV2]

[azaas]
