If you would go to a shop and ask for a Harddisk with 40 Gibibytes the salesman would probably correct you or smile about you naivety. But in fact you would be right. A 40GB HDD  instead of 40 should have 42.95 Billion Bytes capacity. This is because capacity is calculated in the binary system, and with the binary system not 1000 Bytes are a Kbyte but 1024. So the application of Kilos, Megas and Gigas are distracting.  That is since December we have the totally unknow IEC-Norm 60027-2 which changes Giga into Gibi.  So actually Kilo becomes Kibibytes, Gigabytes becomes Gibibytes and Megabytes  get Mebibytes. It is like with Horsepowers(incorrect) for cars and the recently used substitute kilowatt (correct). IF you really know about IT then you should be aware whether I am correct or lying. I will tell you later (but google would tell you too)

Damm hell, I know what you mean. I know that in a proper company with computer experts everything runs smoothly. But in any ordinary office everything fux up. You want to print something over the network, you choose printer 1, but out off ink, you want to choose printer 2, driver not installed! So you put the file on a disk and go to computer B, but Computer B somehow ruins the alignment of the text, borders and font of your word-document. So you go back and want to install the driver, the driver is a CD, but you got no CD-drive...you go to computer B (with CD-drive) and safe the driver on the network and try to access it from computer A. Now you are ready to print but someone now stole the ink from printer B and disappeared I hate it, 50% of your working time is always lost due to miserable conditions!

I will correct it tomorrow when I am sobber ! But we should get back to the topic since Denoir and the others now see a chance to improve their "I closed a thread/t" scorecard!

So true so true! Â Actually I would love to sell computers but aehmm well I am not allowed to say this but, a friend of mine had an idea to buy old computers (which you can get shipped in containers) and resell them. All you got to do is clean them, repack them and sell them to 3rd world countries. There is an enterprise as well as a non-profit organisation that does it and the buisness runs great. No capital required to start it up and easy improvement (at barely no costs). Wonderfull Idea, but I am a speciallist in the hospitality sector (and paid a hell lot of money for my school) so I cant do it, but why not? I case you wonder why my grammar in this post sucks, I am realy realy realy slightly drunk !

It turned out to just be a big moth though. Any way, i was just kinda freaked out by that.<span id='postcolor'> We really have beasts like that in our house! They love tall walls! Â

Now that is a story where I really freaked out. When I worked in Marketing in a resort Hotel in Asia I lived in a management staff house (best aircon) nearby. Everything went fine untill the day we had a staff party. When I arrived there the whole management team was already drunk so I had to make an effort to quickly reach their level and drank a bottle of Ballentines. While I was doing that our human resources Manager had to go to the stage and play an old asian tale and he had to play a ghost. But in asia people shouldnt play ghosts, and a few staff members next my table were saying something like: dont play a ghost he will take revenge. One hour later I was pissed and wanted to go home; this human resources Manager told me: "drive carefully, wear your helmet and dont go crosscountry!" 3 hours later he had a car accidents flew through the window and smashed against a wall, dead! Okay that is fate. Tough luck! But since those asians were so superstitious the gards refused to guard the staff house that night because the ghost of the manager would return to get his stuff from his appartment. And I guess that was the first night the guard didnt fall asleep once! When I came back from a restaurant at around 10pm I parked my motorcycle and nearly stepped over a cobra. Damn I was never so stoned by adrenaline before. Usually they are not as big as in films and at night when it is cold they are slow and cautious but hell I was jumping away like Air Jordan. I wanted to kill that beast with a long stick but the guard told me that this would be the ghost of the Manager and I shouldnt touch it! Can you believe it, they wanted to leave that thing crawling around our staff-house and didnt give me the long bamboo-stick to kill it? I killed that snake anyway (threw a plastic chair on it several times!. And the next day we had some serious talks with that guard, I couldnt believe it, their superstition could have costed someones life. Â

Yeah you are right! ROFL! In german you speek Gibi like Gebe but in enlish you probably say somehting like Gaibai (okay, that is Cockney english) which indeed sounds slightly gay! "Hey ashley, did you get your daily gaibai?"

I fixed it for you now it should work!

Not here in the OFP forum, maybe in your "Fly-fishing in Norway" forum! (I dont recall one, maybe there was but must have been mohts ago)

If she wins a single penny then you are in deep trouble, this would set the roots for future (ridiculous) claims in the US. I hope the judges know what they are doing. Already the whole thing has become so terribly complicated (e.g. labour-laws in US) that another trial simillar to that of the "you didnt tell me the coffee was hot" would spam your courts of justice with wannabe accuses.

"The choice in the summer of 1945 was not between a conventional invasion or a nuclear war. It was a choice between various forms of diplomacy and warfare." (Sherwin, pg. xxiv).

Harakiri Toshiba!

Well yes, I think if 65% (or whatever) is plane flat of such a large city then in fact yes I call it "blown to dust" and if the population is heavily diminished and intoxicated then I called it sealed. But that is the problem when using such imagery, it can easily be misinterpreted, but hey, now we got straight facts, those I meant!

If you believe that, I can't but wonder precisely what planet you're living on...<span id='postcolor'> About 68 percent of Hiroshima were completely destroyed by the bombing, another 24 percent were damaged. The Supreme Allied Headquarters reported that 129,558 people were killed, injured, or missing and 176,987 were made homeless. (Source: Microsoft Encarta 98) About 280,000 civilians and 40,000 soldiers were living in Hiroshima when "Little Boy" struck the city with a force of 20,000 tons of TNT. Approximately 100,000 people died immediately in the blast or in the fire, many other died weeks, month, or years later. Hiroshima had about 80,000 buildings at the time, 48,000 were completely destroyed, another 22,000 seriously damaged 50% blast, destroying the buildings and killing people 35% heat, starting fires burning people 15% radiation, causing the long term effects -------------------------------------------------------- On August 8, two days after Hiroshima the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Truman's directive of July 24 had authorized the U.S. military to use Atomic Bombs against Japan and there was still an Atomic Bomb left. Military leaders choose Nagasaki, a town in the South of Japan. The inhabitants were warned of the possibility of an Atomic attack; however, since the Japanese government did not publish any reports from Hiroshima the warning were widely ignored. On August 9, "Fat Man" destroyed Nagasaki, killing 70,000 people. On August 10, Japan offered to surrender under certain condition. The U.S. responded that Japan would have accept the Potsdam declaration. The Los Alamos team expected a third Atomic Bomb to be ready on August, 17. Meanwhile Truman ordered bombing of Japanese cities using conventional fire bombs. On August 14, the largest air raid of war was started. About 828 B-29 bombers attacked Tokyo, Japans capital. That day Japan accepted the terms of the Potsdam declaration and surrender unconditionally. If you question that the radiation contamination of the bomb was not so strong because this bomb wasnt big then you are wrong! If you want the percise stats  The effect of radiation on survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki BTW: if you look for a site that questions the usefulness of the bomb go here: Was is useful?

In any corporate meeting you ask yourself: what could we have done better? In the case of Hiroshima we dont know what would happened if not the atomic-bomb would have been used, but what we know is that an entire city was blown to dust and sealed for decades. You are simply stating a thesis: "it could have turned worse otherwise" but fact is "the solution wasnt optimal"

Well I would always be afraid that the girl is not as attractive as I may assume, and I so damm superficial. But a friend of mine gets so many dates with ICQ it is incredible. And those girls look very decent. Anyhow, most of the times the girls online get so much attention that I think I would just be a sheep in a herd trying to get attention. No, when I look into the mirror I am confident I can tackle girls in real life where they even see me before talking to me! Today is haircut day!!!

The Great fire of london allowed the metropolis to be rebuilt and revolutionised, the second world war got penecillin recoginsed and mass produced etc. etc. The bombing of the Japanese cities may have saved the lives of many more Japanese civillians and Allied soldiers and Japanese troops. It may have also prevented the expansion of the Soviet Union in Europe, another terrible war. One can't always take the simplistic and rather naive view that bad things are always totally avoidable and never neccessary.<span id='postcolor'> Your logic sais that you have to pay a price for everything, and a war is the hurtful step before a new beginning. I agree to a certain extent. But what did the Atomic-bomb do that was necessary. Well hiroshima is still an unusable spot, so there your logic doesnt grip, I see no Hiroshima being more beautyful than the old one before the 1940ies!

But Stalin wasnt intimidated, at this time he was already well informed and had already started his own programm.
