Thanks!

Nah, they´re not. My girlfriends sisters boyfriend recommended us a "good" one and its shite. Slow as fuck and if I try to move files larger than 500mb it´ll crash

And there´s no way I´ll buy that on ebay. lol

Work bought me a 16gig Sandisk Cruzer, have to say it's damn handy, the U3 applications are nice to have at whatever computer I happen to be working on that day,*puts in USB stick - instantly has office 2007, photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, filezilla, komodo edit, everest corporate edition, and most importantly War Chess * think it was only £16.

All of the ones I listed aren't 'officially' available in U3 format, but the internet is full of nice chaps who do it for you, theres a converter kicking around too that will take an installed application on your pc and try to make an installer to put it on a U3 drive, it doesn't always work though.

EDIT: This is that converter, it's free


(whoops adding the link would be useful )

EDIT again:  I would say Office 07 is a big buggy in U3 format, Open Office however has a fully official U3 version available from the U3 website.

1.) open office sucks balls
2.) I only have a 2 gig so I don't really have room for full office anyways.
3.) Thanks for the program.

Slow and cumbersome in comparison, they also tend to lose add-ons.

I use those cheap Kingston Datatraveler sticks with retractable connector. I must say that I've been very pleased with all I have (2, 4 and 8GB). About 8-10MB/s read/write, and dirt cheap.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

How exactly do you splice a bit into 62,5 pieces?

by having 63 different voltage levels in your haxor PC.

But then it isn't a bit anymore

actually by definition it is. bit is a voltage difference.

e: of course that would not be compatible with current 0 and 1 based systems.

That would just create 63 different kinds of bit. A bit can be either high or low. That is all.

the 0 and 1 are just imagination. they could just as well have values from 0 to 100 if there was 101 different voltage levels. there are no bits or 0/1s, just voltage levels.  In fact there was a time when PCs had more than 2 voltage levels, but the need of accurate measuring of voltages hit the cap in performance quite early. Its much faster to just measure if there is voltage or not.
