It's bad for you because they bleach it to make it white. In fact it's much worse than most people think, but tbh it doesn't matter since it tastes nicer.

Seagate Cheetah? http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=480150

Cellphones won't do anything to a hard drive, even if you put it on top of the hard drive itself.

Bah my understanding is the UK is pretty bad for teenage pregnancies. My area is actually the highest in the country. I don't know what the US is like.

Holy crap I'm number 11 top producer on that overclockers site! I completely forgot I was folding! I only installed it a couple of months ago. I'm not gonna be folding for about a month now though.

Just make something that eats CPU. Like in Java just put: while(true) :p

It just makes the read/write head contract so it's not touching the platter, which is usually the problem if a HD has failed. Won't do anything for a working HD.

This is funny. You're leaving because you don't like a thread. It was posted in Off Topic you know, so you can't expect many sensible replies.

Rofl. That's what IPv6 is for.

No it's fine. All your data is binary, it's either there or it's not, it won't blur or anything.

No what actually happens is because the drive platter spins so fast (say 7200rpm, this is very fast) it has gyroscopic tendencies, and it will resist changes to its orientation if the outer case is turned, and it will flex and bend on it's axis. The noise you hear is the read/write head scraping...

Also reboots are not necessary if your OS is stable. If you're using Windows XP (with no spyware, etc) or Linux then it'll be stable enough to run for months or years with no problems.

Depends how low end. Try Debian.

Wtf you stole my avatar! You deserve to be banned for that!

I don't think scripting languages count. I'm proably a 5 or 6.
