Recovering Secret HD Space

An anonymous reader writes "Just browsing hardocp.com and noticed a link to this article. 'The Inquirer has posted a method of getting massive amounts of hard drive space from your current drive. Supposedly by following the steps outlined, they have gotten 150GB from an 80GB EIDE drive, 510GB from a 200GB SATA drive and so on.' Could this be true? I'm not about to try with my hard drive." Needless to say, this might be a time to avoid the bleeding edge. (See Jeff Garzik's warning in the letters page linked from the Register article.)

If this is real which is doubtfull it is probably a marketing trick. The drive manufactures proably make one drive and sell it as 3 different drives in different capacities.

you are being too cautious, this comes from "teh" same people who can triple the speed of your internet connection by downloading troj.exe and running it. They are to be trusted, both in their technical expertise and moral character. Hell - I'd let them run my elections on their "133t r314y 53v3r5" if they could spare the time between all their work for orphanages and the homeless.

Frankly all this liberal-media bias and skepticism makes me sick to the stomach. One day we, the real people of the world, are going to usurp your cabals of power and send all you bleeding heart skeptics to a single country so that we can bomb it. Or we might just let you die there; because homosexual can't procreate after all right?

You are they type of filthy deviant who believes direct marketing, tupperware parties and pyramid schemes don't work. Next you'll be claiming that the half of those votes in florida (blacks and ex-felons) should have been counted and that Mr Al "BIG GOVERNMENT TAX AND SPEND" Gore should have won the election and that he'd have been more fiscally responsible than W's minor tax cuts and reserved spending.

You probably think there are no WMDs in iraq too, well I've got something for that little falsity:

NINE ELEVEN!!! ALARM !!! NINE ELEVEN!!! TERRORISTS ARE COMMING TO ABORT YOUR BABIES!!! NINE ELEVEN!!!

And don't even TRY and say that 9/11 and Iraq aren't connected or that the training camps were in US/Kurdish controlled portions of Iraq. Because if you say that, I will start whaling on you with this rubber ducky.

anyway, go back to massachusetts pinko!

Re:Uh, no

Somehow, I have ended up being the answer guy for a small army of wandering wanna-be computer geeks who eke out a living doing basic shit for stoopid people in the backwoods of kentucky and tennessee. it just sort of happened.
the only thing I can do now is wait for the phone calls. Because customers kids will have this AIM'd or IRC'd to them, they will do it to their parents computers, and a few of my wanna-be geeks will decide it's a great way to give a highly profitable "upgrade".
hmm.
Vacation time.

Re:Uh, no FUCK its Tsarkon Reports 9 Steps GREESE

You fat stupipd sexless pig fuck nerd. Everyone knows this already. You are the dumb SHIT that is fucking pointing it out - you need to feel like a man because you have no penis, so you brandish your aureal density here to compensate. You dick aint got no muzzle break, fag.

9 steps to greasing your anus for Yoda Doll Insertion!

1. Defecate. Preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage, pickled eggs, and Vietnamese chili garlic sauce. Defecation could be performed in the Return of the Jedi wastebasket for added pleasure.
2. Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns. (Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda can use witch-hazel on mouth to soothe the horrific burns from performing so much analingus.)
3. Prime anus with anal ease. (Now Cherry Flavored for those butthole lick-o-phillic amongst you - very popular with 99% of the Slashdotting public!)
4. Slather richly a considerable amount of Vaseline and/or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your Yoda Doll , Yoda Shampoo bottle or Yoda soap-on-a-rope and liberally apply the lubricants to the Doll/Shampoo/Soap-on-a-rope.
5. Pucker your balloon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in.
6. Put a nigger do-rag on Yoda's head so the ears don't stick out like daggers!
7. Make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish Yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because the retrieval mechanism is built in.
8. Slowly rest yourself onto your Yoda figurine. Be careful, he's big!
9. Gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Think about snoodling with the Sarlaac pit. Read Slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you don't check the (desired - speaks English) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black and Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you can't afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate Windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who aren't fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a Yoda voice and saying, use the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.
