Hi guys,
can any of you suggest me a good USB stick? No real limiations, should be fast and have at least 4 gigs.
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 crashtazz. wrote:
It's a USB stick.... they're alll goood...
Just dont buy shit off ebay k? Cause they're gonna be flashed you just know it.
Tell me more about these "U3" applications pleaseTheEternalPessimist wrote:
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.
How do you get all those? Mine has like firefox 2.0, and worthless programs on the list I can add.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

you can also take a look at portableappsTheEternalPessimist wrote:

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.

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.

I'm thinking the only real criteria he has to base his opinion is "it looks pimp".Freezer7Pro wrote:

actually by definition it is. bit is a voltage difference.Freezer7Pro wrote:

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

e: of course that would not be compatible with current 0 and 1 based systems.
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.Freezer7Pro wrote:
