The good news:

I ran clean disk and it reported that it could free up 660GB of space.

The bad news:

It is only a 500GB hard drive.

Confused | :confused:

Perhaps it's suggesting that free space compresses really well...

So, in mathematical terms one can fit multiple petaflops onto one TB HDD?

It is even better - you can put infinite data in a single byte as long as it is free...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So "clean disk" is like the SoftRam RAM doubler?

For those who are too young or did not remember:

They still sell crap like that - "software" to make your PC go faster sales are still booming.
I know what, I'm going to load fat people into my car to make it go faster (... oops, pc fail... ah who gives a firetruck)

And let's not get into full time anti-virus - that's purely to protect the computer from the idiot using it.
But in fairness judging from the stats touted by virus companies there sure are a hell of a lot of idiots out there, hmmm, if I could get just a dollar from each that would be enough.

Sin tack

It is apparent that this article was translated into English, but what the hell? It reads as though Yoda wrote it after a night on the town with Naggy. Just a little too much gin. $Shucks | :-\$

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

Same thing when you are stupid.

A better link might be SoftRAM - Wikipedia[^].

Don't remember what I have searched for at work. The above is the first hit now here at home.

So what it's saying is that it can get rid of 660 British people from your organisation, and your organisation would profit from it.

I've done work for lots of multinationals, and I find it hard to believe that it's wrong.

I was thinking about writing a comment but can't make up my mind:
It is ignorant to ask a community and then remove the code. But it might be better to hide such code from being used by others.

Um...he does realise it's copied into one of the solutions, presumably the solution he used to get the problem solved? Laugh | :laugh:

Seems like he got much bigger problems to worry about than plagiarism.
The IT Security Office finding out him posting crucial code on a public site, for instance - If it was crucial. Otherwise he wouldn't need to worry.

Found some code on here a few years ago that looked familiar, so I emailed the most likely candidate for having posted it (at work) and also replied to the question along the lines of "better remove the comments that identify the company that this code came from". Question disappeared, but the perpetrator then emails me (internally at work) asking for the solution to the problem!

Given that I was going to be made redundant because most of the on-shore roles had been off-shore outsourced, this bloke was one of those off-shore replacements, and the solution was bl***y obvious, I was a tad angry. You can imagine how much help I gave him!
