Memory Card Torture Tests

saikatguha266 writes "BBC is reporting that five types of memory cards were dipped into cola, put through a washing machine, dunked in coffee, trampled by a skateboard, run over by a child's toy car, given to a six-year-old boy to destroy, smashed by a sledgehammer and nailed to a tree. It was still possible to retrieve photos from the xD and Smartmedia cards while the others didn't survive just the last two tests. "

If you access links to the headlines through RSS (Opera, AFAIK Mozilla sidebar), all the links point to slashdot.org/storyurl instead of section.slashdot.org/storyurl.

This results in Slashdot's usual poor, but passable green colour scheme.
