SIGNATURE REQUEST:

Can some one remake my sig but at the maximum size (my current dig has the maximum size, I believe, from the last NG layout). The base flying book picture is my profile picture. Add any affects if necessary to keep it current :)

In time HVDs will make BDs what CDs are to DVDs.

Just a decade before I was born people would pay around $400 for a basic four-function calculator.

Yeah yeah yeah technology is neat.

Translation of the technology: Two laser beams are shot at each other and combine like the death star laser weapon and reads some laser interference stuff at a holographic layer near the surface of the disk. A normal inferred beam reads a lower layer of the disk (where the servoinformation lies, which I don't quite understand yet), which would be a regular CD style aluminum layer like we have today. A "dichroic mirror" (a mirror XD) is placed IN BETWEEN these two layers and PREVENTS THE GREEN LASER from passing through and reading the lower layer, but ALLOWS THE INFERRED LASER to read the lower layer. This insures the lasers are reading the correct layers. So, this is how the storage can be doubled or more, because it is basically two disc's in one side. The holographic layer must allow some supernatural storage, because the Wikipedia information states the storage can theoretically be from 1TB to 6TB, and even a PB which is a thousand and twelve TB.

For my opinion, I have to say; you have to be fucking crazy and have WAY to much time to invent this thing. It is SO bizarre, but if it works, then hey-I want it.

Couldn't have imagined getting through my grade school years without the ti-84. It's a dated calculator, but everyone I went to school with had one

You know why I love MY calculator? It simply has a fraction feature. Adds, multiplies, simplifies, every thing you need for fractions. I bought it from my friend for 10 bucks back in 6th grade, and man what a great deal that has been. It was worth $100 when it first released, but that was back in 1997; the Explorer Plus by Texas Instruments. I still do not see the fraction capability in a lot of new calculators, which is quite sad indeed. I am used to seeing $100+ calculators though; the technology is pretty good once you fully understand the calculator.

Well, what storage has come to is not bad. I guess the way I put it made it seem bad, but I love this trend!

Well, this is what the USB drive has came to.

Amazingly, http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/toshi bas-capacious-64gb-sdxc-card-sampling-th is-december-thril is what the SD card has come to.

If companies can design those USB drives to manage hundreds of reads and writes per second, you could install an OS on that stick like any normal hard drive, with a huge amount of space to spare. I mention managment because USB thumb drives are meant to read/write that much, and from past user experiences a USB drive currently can last around 5 weeks with an operating system. Plus, there are compatability defects that limit multi-computer usage.

Let that aside, this is huge news. 128 GB of storage, in what, the size of a thumb! I remember when hard drives the size of my HAND used to have 10 GB storage limits, and before that, a GB would fit in a WHOLE BUILDING. Soon it will be terabyte USB flash drives! And imagine mini SD cards; a 50 GB mini SD card would allow playback of full HD movies on a CELL PHONE.

Discuss.

Guys, I am absolutely LOVING Photoshop. I cannot wait to become a pro at this. I know it sucks compared to better shoppers, but this is my FIRST motion blur attempt! The polygonal cut out lasso feature really helps if you take your time; here I did not XD. I'll post the original right after this post.

I admire you for stepping up to be more comfortable with us, man. It means a lot to me.

Damn, one is right handed, the other is left. But who controls the legs o_0?

Guys, I literally just e-mailed an essay with 5 minutes before 12 AM, which I would rename as the "F" hour. Yeah, my History teacher lets me e-mail an assignment as long as it is on or before 11:59 PM on the due date. If any one needs help on writing an Industrial Revolution essay, just PM me and I could give you some tips.

AndAnd by the way, the book picture in the sig is my account photo.

Can some one remake mine just as big as the maximum size is? And add necessary effects if you would like.

Seriously, asking this kind of question here will most likely not get you any answers, as this is a forum for questions related to Newgrounds.

If you don't get answers in here or in this thread I would try that first link I gave you.

Well, it really is a half question half discussion thread. Thanks for the link, but I use pchelpforum.

I searched google and am getting quite confused. It seems to me more people are posting articles on installing Windows FROM a USB drive. I have an 8 GB USB drive and intend to install Windows 7 ON the actual USB drive. My problem is that the different articles on google confuse me because some are about installing from, and some installing on a USB drive. Does any one know an article or know them self how to install Windows on a USB drive? I found thishttp://www.intowindows.com/how-to-in stall-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-deta iled-100-working-guide/ but the article title confuses me when it says "from" and I cannot tell what the main goal is. It seems more like what I am looking for, but I don't want to screw up and ruin my USB drive.

Also, I believe that installing an OS on a USB drive is completely possible. Like the linked article shows, I believe he is saying that you must convert the drive to NTFS, which supports OS capability. Then you could say "but USB drives have no CPU or RAM." Well guess what, neither do hard drives alone. A USB drive is simply a small hard drive, so there is no way this SHOULDN'T work. I really want to do this because I then could take out the USB drive and insert it into any private computer I want (and public if I can get into the BIOS...>:D...) and use windows 7 right there. If it would be compatible with other mother board of course, but I have faith in that. This means that i could have my computer any where I want, and for people with 32 GB+ drives, they could literally have ALL They need; flash, docs, pronz, apps, games (dude, you could so install a game...tight), and every thing else. And if you need back up space, just use the internal drive on your victim computer for over flow storage. I have the Windows 7 RC on disc so once I know how to do this, I will definitely do it with Windows 7.

Well what if a bunch of Americans started to invade Japan to the point where close to half the population is Caucasian and speaks or only speaks English. Doesn't this kind of offend Japan, a country founded by JAPANESE who speak JAPANESE. while half the population is white and speaks English? IF some one is LIVING in America and only speaks a language besides English, they either need to learn English fast, get the hell out of there, or get tickets all the time.

So I have a Creative Zen Vision:M, and am finally running our of storage space with that 30 GB hard drive. Here is my plan: buy a 100 GB+ hard drive, copy all the driver and system information from my Zen's hard drive to the new hard drive, and then put the new hard drive in the Zen. It will be like upgrading my memory without actually buying a new player. Any one have experience with this kind of crap, because I don't know where to start. I am sure there are hidden files when I open the Zen Vision:M hard drive in the computer menu (Windows Vista), so is there a way to show all folders? If I need to copy all system files, I will need accessibility to those files.

Wrong. Germany has already announced that the virus is mutating, and soon it will become VERY aggressive.

Yeah, for the price Skull Candies are not that bad, but the sennheisers I linked are the same price and are superior. Plus, J&R provides free shipping for the CX300's, so it should come out to about 16 dollars.

I own these myself:

Much better than Skullcandy.
