This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

They are good really singers though, lots of opera/church choir stuff.
Tom Jones comes to mind too. (The person, not the sheep)

I'm not sure that sheep-sodden vapor counts as either "fresh" or "air".

A sad fate[^]
So ... own up! Who else has bought a cheap one and had that?
(Worst I bought was a Chinese 32Gb which turned out to be a 2GB that reported itself as 32 and overwrote itself when you exceeded that...  )

So far, I have only purchased one external storage device: Buffalo 500 GB[^]. It still has almost 200 GB of free space.
I always wonder why people need more. Recently, my brother had shared something on his Sandisk USB with me. I now use it as bootable linux.

That's why I always buy brand-name devices. The savings in cost is not worth the aggravation.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Being Chinese no-name brand then it probably is 32GB, once you write to it 16 times it stops working. (That is, if you got the 'good quality' one, many don't even last that long  )

 Sorry, but I thought that was funny.
I had a 32GB name brand Micro SD in my phone. It worked fine for about 18 months, right up until it didn't. The phone started saying it had to scan and fix it. I let it fix it many times. I moved the stuff off the SD card onto the internal storage. I Deleted the content several times, but it just kept reappearing. I tried formatting it on my PC several times, but that kept failing regardless of the format options I chose.
Essentially it transformed itself into a hybrid card - part read-only, part read-write 
I have never had any storage device do this before. Anyway, a month ago I replaced it with a different name brand 128 GB micro SD card and that is working just fine (for now).

That raises the question:
Which came first, the CP or the Bob?

The 2005 version looks very alike... Maybe Bob was on that 'Death Star'...

If I can believe this archive, the Death Star appeared up to June 2001 and was replaced by Bob from July 2001 on.

Right... I misread the dates... It happened on Canada Day of 2001 (1st of July) or somewhere after it, but before the 8th of July 2001...

Did you check out the hardware it was running on?
The Code Project - About Us - Free Source code and Tutorials[^]
Quote: CodeProject is currently hosted on a dedicated server running dual Pentium III 450s, 386Mb RAM and 2 x 19Gb SCSI drives. The server has recently been upgraded to Windows 2000 and SQL Server and is connected to the outside world via a full ethernet connection.
386Mb of RAM! Wow! (There's 5 times that on my graphics card  )

My first PC (i.e. the first computer I personally owned) was an Amstrad 1640: 640K of RAM! 2 off 360K floppies! EGA graphics! 8Mhz 8086 processor! USB slots: None!

Mine is one of these.[^] I'm have been working on a new modernized version recently. It could have up to nine processors and up to 16 mb RAM/ROM.
