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 you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
Join GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) today, and enjoy all the benefits of being a full-time GNAA member.
GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the fastest-growing GAY NIGGER community with THOUSANDS of members all over United States of America. You, too, can be a part of GNAA if you join today!

Why not? It's quick and easy - only 3 simple steps!

First, you have to obtain a copy of GAY NIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE THE MOVIE (Click Here to download the ~280MB MPEG off of BitTorrent)

Second, you need to succeed in posting a GNAA "first post" on slashdot.org, a popular "news for trolls" website

riiiiiiiight

[goosebane]

while(people == stupid)

anything = believable;

Thats all I have to say.

bad for the hackers and good for the FBI-CIA.

[Anonymous Coward]

Hidden partition that can contain hidden DATA, hidden PROGRAMS of the FBI/CIA, hidden DATA of the user on last times, hidden PASSWORDS of the user, hidden KEYLOGS of the user, ...

The trap is there out, good for the FBI, good for the CIA and good for HaseCorp.

They don't need tunneling-effect to obtain HD's DATA :P

The hackers can not erase fully theirs HDs :o

Re:How? Reliability?

[coastwalker]

Agreed, business logic of overclocked CPUs is slightly different as the chips genuinely do have different speeds at some point in their history (if only in simulation in the worst case) but do not always continue to do so.

When a processor first comes to market the production process is full of variablility which ends up being reflected in the reliable maximum clock rates of the CPUs. Something like the normal or Gaussian distribution will apply to the spread of clock speeds. This is why the fastest chips are often in short supply and also why a premium price can be charged for them. As the production technology and minor mask set shrinks (Stepping?) is improved the number of fast chips increases. At some point the production process may become so good that all the chips produced will run at the fastest speed of the first production run. Additionaly overclocking a chip may be possible with reduced reliablilty because the test vector that failed the chip at the manufacturer is rarely exercised on the home users machine. The manufacturer is not going to be selling chips which might fail in some mission critical application so lables them appropriately.

I think that the manufacture continues to sell a range of chip speeds for several reasons in addition to the one you cite. There is no guarantee that the manufacturing process will remain stable with high yields of fast chips and the spread price model for chip speeds is always needed for a new generation of chips. Initialy at least there is no marketing driven reason for fooling customers by selling them something which has been artificially degraded.
