    I was actually under the impression that no one had played a harmonica in at least 100 years until I started watching Les Stroud on Survivorman. #flashharmonicausbdrive

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: : when you say "actually", do you mean "actually" or "internet rhetorical actually"?

    Because, you know... Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and about 1000 other musicians... #flashharmonicausbdrive

    I think you'd have to make it smaller. Vinyl doesn't travel well. Perhaps if we could as a collective develop some other method of transporting recorded music. Perhaps something light that could be rolled up and played off a spool of some sort.

    @weylin: I use an electrochemical storage device with a MASSIVELY parallel access-rate and potentially limitless storage space.

    To be fair, though, teh data... It's mostly lolcatz.

    Huge music collection in the change pocket of your jeans... Hmm, it would be great if they would invent something that could carry AND play the music.

    I can see some valid uses for something like this, especially keeping a bootable OS or toolkit on one side and regular files on the other -- but just using it to divide files is silly. That's what folders are for.

    Dont ever combine work and personal stuff, just have two drives. Your employer may feel seizing the work drive is ok, and if you have your personal stuff on there as well, it then becomes THEIRS. Conversely, if you have work stuff on your personal drive, you may be violating a confidentiality agreement. Murky legal waters, so just keep it seperate to be sure.

    Arent they all cute; talk about variety. I want to know which one can withstand repeated electrical shocks and stand up to the punishment of floating around in my purse (no easy task). And nothing pink, please.

    Yarrrgh!


    This not be fer the piratically inclin'd such as meself an' me hearties.


    Personally, I be preferrin' me computin' be done on more liquor-themed items. Why, jes' t'other night, me server be actin' up so I be smashin' an empty rum bottle o'er th' case. It not be havin' lag issues now. Nothin' be fixin' a troublesome iMac quite like a floggin' an' a night spent lash'd t' th' riggin'.


    Fer the record, a floggin' an' a night spent lash'd t' th' riggin' is how I deal wi' most o' me problems. Ladies, this cap'n be available.


    But I git lost while waxin' piratical about th' sex lives o' pirates (git yer mind off th' poop deck, lubber!). This ninja "solution", like all things ninja, sounds great but in practice, be a waste of space. If yer computer be actin' up or needin' memory or what have ye, just beat it round the case with a batten or smash it wi' a bottle or stab it wi' yer cutlass (or machete if tha' be yer preference).


    This be especially true if ye be havin' an expensive piece o' kit. The more pieces of eight ye be spendin' on yer 'puter, the more damage they be able t' be takin'.


    If ye be havin' a Mac Pro an' matchin' 30" Cinema display, I be suggestin' ye be fixin' it wi' powder. A broadside from a cannon be settin' it right.


    Enough of me jawin'. Get fixin' yer computer wi' blunt force, mateys. I be wantin' t' hear glass an' plastic fly.
