1. the M in EMP means MAGNETIC... now how is data stored on a hrd drive again? Oh yeah, it's itsy bitsy MAGNETIC patterns
2."What about common magnetic feilds?" I don't know about magnetic feilds (alien tech maybe?) but if you're referring to "magnetic fields" then let's see... now how is data stored on a hrd drive again? Oh yeah, I remember, it's itsy bitsy MAGNETIC patterns
Don;t open the link, it will wipe your hard drive and steal all your passwords, empty your bank account and blow up your monitor and printer...
Seriously, this is exactly how this shit spreads - get someone to download something "cool" - one reason why I never get crack patches from the warez sites...
Actually no... I'll agree that qite a chunk of the bbc radio 4 shows are prerecorded but most of the daytime bbc radios 1,2 and 3 output is live broadcast.
lol it was late. Understand now... that terminology is just not common here in the UK at all, I've heard them called many things but not a thumb drive!
well, I have no idea what a jump drive is! If yopu're talking about the devices in tfa, then yeah, but I ain't never heard 'em called jump drives! Do they jump around or what?!

why are the called thumb drives? I the UK, they're generally called "pen drives" (prolly cuz a lot of them have a pen clip on them for putting in your shirt pocket) or just "usb memory sticks" or simpley "usb drives"
I'm trying to figure out why they would be called "thumb drives" but it's not coming to me...
Ahhhhh I see your problem... you're trying to fly by jumpin UP. This will never work....
You need to start by throwing yourself at the ground from a high point, so gravity is giving you a big helping hand... and then the most important step... practise MISSING the ground... Therein lies the secret.
You're making the incorrect assumption that Pi is *defined* in terms of the ratio of a circle's diameter to it's circumference.
Your definition is incorrect. Pi is **defined** in terms of the mathematical power series that many others have posted.
It just so happens that this is ** APPROXIMATELY ** The ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter, in FLAT EUCLIDIAN SPACE. If space is curved, then the ratio does NOT correspond to Pi. (e.g thing of a circle drawn on a partially inflated ballon, then inflate the balloon more...)
My Western Digital quiet drive is inaudible. Even running on the bench you have to put your ear right up to the case to hear anything, once it's mounted and the pc case sides are on, nada.. not a sound.
Small? The 20gb drive in my iRiver is tiny, either that or the inside of the iRiver case is bigger on the inside, like the TARDIS! - Oh yeah, and that drive is super quiet too...
Argggggggggh! In a serious post, he makes one of my pet-hate mistakes. There is no such word as "noone" It's TWO words - "No one" - google for Noone and all you get are pages referring to people with the surname "Noone" - along with the "Did you mean No One?" at the top of the page...
useless if that doesn't correspond with the time you need to be up! I suspect most/.'ers stay up way late, coding/fragging/beatin off to porn and then need to be up long before they've had enough sleep...

"Endurance (in days) = 9,961,472,000,000 / (4 X (6,016,204,800/64)) = 26,492 days
Endurance (in years) = 199,229 days / 365 = 72.59 years"
so if it's 26,492 days (1st calc), where does the 199,229 days come from in 2nd calc??? surely should be 26,492 there also???
The point is you combine the power of two cards, thereby theopretically doubling the performance, more res more frames/sec, higher AA goodness...
But EVERYTHING tastes of chicken...

2 words... live radio
we use our pc to listen to radio all the time. Practically every radio station in the UK streams it's radio over the internet

This is slashdot, so of course, you didn't bother to RT(very intersting)FA did you.
You are SO wrong... go read it...
