Girlfriend's gag gift wasn't much of a gag ^_^

So my girlfriend was at Wal-Mart earlier and last night she was complaining about the "useless fucking s--t" I have on the laptop we share. Anyways, at Wal-Mart she calls me up and says she's getting me something to put my "useless fucking s--t" on. I figured she was just gonna get me some CD-RWs or maybe a flash drive. She comes home with a freaking 500GB external hard drive! I took all my "useless fucking s--t" off the laptop and I got like 490+ GBs left! It's times like this where I wish I like porn because I have no idea what I'm gonna do with all this extra space!

Rant over.

I wish you liked porn too, then you wouldn't post s--t like this as much.

First ever Maser burn!

No hard feelings man, just opened yourself up for that one.

Yea media storage devices are are uber cheap now. I remember a couple years ago a 1gig flash drive/usb memory stick was like $99 but now they have 2gig ones in the checkout isle for $9-15 and 5-10gig for under 50 bucks.

a year ago I picked up like (5) 1GB SD cards for $5 each, and (2) 2 GB cards for $13 each, storage in general is dirt cheap, 1 TB hard drives for < $100.

RAM on the other hand, isnt as cheap as it used to be.

Yeah this HD was only 80 bucks. Wonder how much it would cost for an entire PB (petabyte).

Use the extra space to store movies.

BE CAREFUL!!

The douchebag I was working with in Iraq booted my 1TB drive that was FULL off a desk and fried it, Seagate said it'd cost me $4-500 for data recovery, plus the cost of a new drive. If you have anything important, MAKE BACKUPS!! I've lost about four externals since I got into the Corps. Still love me a good hard drive full of cheap entertainment though

I'm just too stupid to learn my lesson and make backups of my own s--t.

So I take it everything of hers on the computer is non-usless crap?

Ah, the price of memory storage is apparently not what it used to be.

My nutcase neighbor told me he distictly remembers being failed on a Fortran program for using too many go-to routines. The subject instructor remains number 1 on his list. I'm not sure what that means. Not sure I want to know.

That is the funniest thing I've read today.

This thread reminded me of my days in IT. I had 2.5 terabytes of storage on my workstation (everything got backed up to an external, usually a Lacie, before I started messing with the system), which seemed absolutely ridiculous to my office manager after she saw the 4 digit invoice. The numbers didn't mean s--t to her until they had a dollar sign in front of them. Now I've got that much storage plugged into my PlayStation.

Don't you mean pedobite? Diaper wearing freak.

Maser · Post by **Maser** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 4:21 pm

No, it's called a petabyte. A petabyte is 1,000 terabytes.

Am I the only one that thought this was going to be about fellatio until I saw it was from Maser?

Oh, and:

If you wanted to make a petabyte from 500 GB external drives, then you'd only need about 2000 of these, which would run $160,000. There are cheaper ways to get to a petabyte, but they are all prohibitively expensive for a person that only has 10GB worth of porn to store. (I suppose there just isn't very much diaper porn out there...

)

Like I already mentioned, I'm not into porn. All the space I used up was mostly ROMs and YouTube music videos.

I see someone gave you some good advice in life and you listened. Good for you.

I got the same advice from a friend once. It can be summed up in three words: "Deny, deny, deny".

Admit to nothing, deny everything, demand proof. That's my motto !

I've always been partial to "Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-allegations"

Observe, overreact, destroy, apologize.

Well, you're all assuming it's deny, deny, deny because you're thinking there's no way a twit that collects ROMs and YouTube music videos would ever actually have a girlfriend ... unless girlfriend means "girlfriend".

Should have come up with a better lie though, she'll probably see through that one eventually.

What kind of man has a computer WITHOUT at least 500GB of porn? Better check your pants and make sure you have the right plumbing.

doubloon · Post by **doubloon** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 4:20 pm

The way I understand it porn doesn't always have the same appeal to people who pursue "alternate lifestyles".
