livvy Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 :O That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day. All 2.4-ish hours of it. Haha, nice to know I'm preferable to your ceiling, Will. ;) Quote
Kuroida Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 @Kuroida: You don't need to bring your flash drive to school every day. It's like if you want to bring it over to some friends cause you're gonna have a super movie all-nighter dealibob. Ohhh, now I get it. Really sorry, I read earlier that people were using them for school and I thought (and still think) that it was a waste of a flash drive. And horray for 2am parties!....which reminds me. I have to "get up" at 7 tomorrow o.o I should go to bed :P Quote
livvy Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I have to get up at 6. Yay Early Bird classes. <_< But it's Physics, and I do like Physics. And I'm used to running on less sleep than this, so whatever. I'll live. And then I'll sleep a lot on the weekends. :P I sometimes use a thumbdrive for school, but only really small ones. For things like powerpoints or documents that I can't just email to myself. 'night Kuro! Quote
Kuroida Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 when I said I should get to bed didn't really mean right now XD Micro-SD cards are also really freakin' tiny. Meaning I would definitely lose it in my messenger bag of a purse. I was actually kinda thinking phone. Or even your Nintento DS works :P and I still have summer....but it's almost over D: Tomorrow morning I'm going to a friends house. I only use Flash drives for school. I've never really had the need for them anywhere else o.0 and NOW i'm going to bed because I heard my dad going downstairs and I'm afraid he's gonna check on me when he comes back up. Night everyone!

CAV of Gang Green Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Hmm, I should get to bed soon. But I won't...yet. Quote
antiaircraft Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I guess I'm the only person here who loads fully bootable operating system live images onto his flash drives? :P Quote
IrishLiz Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I guess I'm the only person here who loads fully bootable operating system live images onto his flash drives? :P Are you familiar with Lifehacker? Because that reminds me of a few Lifehacker posts... Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 It's been rather dead on TDN lately. What gives? Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I figured so. School doesn't start for me until the 7th. I feel lonely without people here. Quote
Superfly Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I guess I'm the only person here who loads fully bootable operating system live images onto his flash drives? :P You are not the only one! I may or may not have a version of Ubuntu on my flash drive. :) Quote
-Ryan Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 School is getting on my nerves. I have alot of time to be here but i'll only actually stay and talk if certain people are here. =/ Quote
Spritzie Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 The two I use are 4G. It takes a lot to fill those up! On my computer, it's mostly music, along with some pictures, that take up all the space. My very first one, my dad gave me, is 32MB. My next one was 512MB. Then 2GB and 4GB. Then pen and keychain ones are really small, but they were given out at an A/V (Audio/Visual) convention a couple years ago, when I worked for an A/V company. And you guys put music and videos on flash drive? o.0 I don't see the point but Ok.... It depends. What wasn't mentioned... my dad uses the tiny 4GB one I got him, for music, because his car has a USB port, that plugs into the car's stereo system. So It's gone better than CDs. EDIT: Micro-SD cards are also really freakin' tiny. Meaning I would definitely lose it in my messenger bag of a purse. I have a Micro SD card in my cell phone for my pictures. They are crazy small. Quote
IrishLiz Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I always feel like I'm going to lose MicroSD cards. My first flash drive was 512 MB. I don't know what happened to it though. And actually, I think my personal one is 2GB and my inherited school one is 4GB. It's purple too... Quote
Spritzie Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I never take my Micro SD card out of my phone, unless I'm changing phones. I still have all of mine, even the 32MB. My 2GB one is pink. And my 4GB is a kind of fuchsia color. Quote
antiaircraft Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Are you familiar with Lifehacker? Because that reminds me of a few Lifehacker posts... I've read a few Lifehacker posts, but no, I'm not really familiar with that site. I do recall thinking that some of the stuff they recommended was a little suboptimal, but I can't remember what exactly I was reading at the time. You are not the only one! I may or may not have a version of Ubuntu on my flash drive. :) :D These days I run Fedora personally, and generally recommend Mint to people who are newer to Linux. :yes: Quote
livvy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Fedora? ...Oh yeah, I remember you telling me about that! It must look classier than other versions of Linux. ;) Quote
livvy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Fedoras are the only hats I've found that I actually look good in. They fit my face really nicely. Other hats just look funny. Quote
antiaircraft Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Heh, well Mint probably has the classiest look of any Linux distribution I've tried so far. Although if you're a programmer, the innards of Fedora look very classy indeed. :P Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I have alot of time to be here but i'll only actually stay and talk if certain people are here. =/ O hai. It seems as though someone forgot that I'm here. I went to the Intrepid today. Quote
antiaircraft Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 *waves* Hi there CAV! :P What's the Intrepid by the way? The only think that comes to mind for me is the codename for Ubuntu 8.10, "Intrepid Ibex". xD Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 The Intrepid is a large navy battle ship that was used during WWII and the Cold War. It was also used as a landing and take off pad for many fighter planes. Since its use is no longer required, it has been anchored here in NYC, and is now used as a museum. On the flight deck, there are several fighter planes, including the first plane to ever break the sound barrier. You can also visit the captain's deck. Inside the large ship is a bunch of exibits and activities to teach about the history of the Air Force, Navy, and Space Travel. Outside of the Intrepid is a submarine, which holds a nuclear bomb that contains 300 times the power of the atomic bombs dropped in Japan during WWII, capable of destroying all 5 boroughs of NY, and take a huge chunck out of Northern New Jersey. You are allowed to go inside the submarine, and see how life was inside. Also is the concorde plane used by British Airlines. For more info, check this out. Quote
antiaircraft Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 That sounds like a pretty neat place to visit. :yes: Although... how tough is the security around the submarine? It seems a little concerning. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Security is tight. And they say it before you even enter. Don't touch ANYTHING, don't press any buttons or turn any knobs. If it looks like it works, then don't bother with it. Besides, the bomb is mounted on top of the submarine. So it cannot and will not be fired. Quote
