Today evening when I was travelling from Churchgate to Dadar in aslow local, there were these two guys who got in to train from Mumbai Central. Their conversation started after a phone call regarding some laptop repair they had given.

Guy 1 - A: I bought PC from XYZ. Got it for 1000 cheaper than ABC. Intel ka 11K and AMD ka 12K.
Guy 2: Ohh
Guy 1: I put XFX 1GB graphic card :facepalm: and Intel Dual Core 2.8GHz. Aajkal Dual Core bahot chalta he
Guy 2: COre2Duo band ho gya na
Guy1: Yes. (Next is new great news which we all did not know) Actually Core2Duo and i3 are same. Kuch farak nahi he dono me. i5 wala is better than i3. In that too i3 Quad-Core is best but in Mumbai sab k pas i3 DualCore hi he. Koi i3 Quad-Core nahi bechta.

This was still going on but since I had to get down, I missed further part.

@Sei @blkrb0t definitely 3Gb reduced storage is not at all fine, it should have been 512MB (as he says) :p ;) Don't know what he'll feel when he buys 64GB Card and sees only 59GB :)

Somebody should tell him to check capacity of his hard disk. So many GBs gone...

I have seen some people from US saying internet is so fast there the HDD cannot even store data at that rate ****ers didn't even realise someone else was writing data to there disk and on top of it they say they get 15Mbps and that too FUP and when asked about FUP says they dont have anything like that in US

To be fair, I've seen uTorrent's "Disk Overload" error on my friend's VPS with a 1Gbps D/L connection. Had to restrict the speed and download. Reading on google, I can see that we can adjust settings in uTorrent to prevent this, but just saying that it can happen.

Its always the case with many of the ITians around. They seldom know anything apart from their day-to-day work. Either a person have to know and experiment his pc to even understand most of the comcepts or he has to be a pc gamer. A gamer will come across issues and will try learning something. :p

most of us here can vouch for that! yes, certainly, we can! :happy:

For OS 1GB = 1024MB but for Manufacturers 1GB = 1000MB and hence one get ~93% of advertised.

1000 is actually about 97.5% of 1024 so by that standard a 32GB disk should have an actual capacity of 31GB.

While you're correct in the 7% difference, would like to know how you're arriving at it.

because the 1024 is not just looking at MB-->GB conversion.

For HDD manufacturers, 1 GB = 1000 x 1000 x 1000 Bytes (1GB = 1000 MB, 1 MB = 1000 KB, 1 KB = 1000 B)
For OS, 1 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 (1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 KB = 1024 B).

For conversion, you have 1 GB(Manufacturer) = 1/(1.024)*(1.024)*(1.024) ~= 0.93 GB(OS) = 7% difference.

check here for more detailed discussion.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/2...-actual-capacity-difference-excessive#5890152

kilobyte: 1024(actual) over 1000(manufacturer)
Which is 2.4% more

Megabyte 1024^2 = 1048 576 over 1000 000
Which is 4.86% more (rounded up)

Gigabyte 1024^3 = 1073 741 824 over 1000 000 000
Which is 7.37% more

Terabyte 1024^4 = 1099 511 627 776
Which is 9.95% more

In addition to the above loss, formatting the disk also reduces the capacity but that is unavoidable. Different filesystems will give different usable disk space.

Thanks for this. Never looked at it that way.

having to explain the above math in TE under that thread heading is a big irony, isn't it !!

Yes it is but I guess not everyone on TE is an engineer of some sort :)
 
One of my friend mail is is like JohnDoe@gmail.com.
One fine day he got a mail from one of his namesake whose mail id is John.Doe@gamil.com (with a dot between the first name and last name).
The content of the mail was 57 intimate images of the gentleman(so we thought) with this girlfriend/wife.
By the content of the images it was full 'hardcore' :P

The guy might be forwarding the images to his mail id itself to keep it inbox and missed the DOT. Whatever it is, he's the dumbest pervert I came across.

(my friend do not forward it to me fearing it might trace back to him for sharing of pornographic material. :D)
 
I think in gmail there is this trick or something where say one sends emails to john.doe, johnd.oe, j.ohndoe etc @gmail it will go to same id ?
I had read it somewhere. I know people used to do this when they want to register multiple accounts on certain deal type websites but do not wish to create as many email ids.
All mails to all the email ids i mentioned above would reach the same person, not sure which email id though.
 
I call BS on this story. The . doesn't make any difference. JohnDoe & John.Doe count as the same account. You can log in to your own account irrespective of where you put the .
 
errr.......seems you have encountered a n00b here. :P
anyway, I will post the details once I confirm from my friend.
(I was aware of the + in gmail, but not the dots).
