Laugh all you want, im so unlucky with Tecumseh engines. Im still hoping my Auto teacher will still be willing to sell me his mopeds from when he was a kid, he wants $400 for the pair but I only have $50 to put down.

Is an SSD more turable and more shock proof than a normal hard drive?

[ChesterMolester]

Absolutely.

A normal HDD resembles a CD drive with a CD. It's basically a moving arm with an optical eye moving over rapidly rotating discs. In other words, it's a mechanical machine that is used to store data.

A SSD has absolutely no moving parts so you don't have to worry about a mechanical failure. Are you familiar with thumb drives/flash drive/memory stick, etc.? Those are all using solid state technology. RAM is also using solid state technology.

Another thing, SSD's are fast a ****. This is because you don't have to wait for the moving arm to move back and forth across the discs to edit or add data.

I can guarantee if you put a normal HDD on your keychain, it would not last nearly as long as a flash drive. lol

Probably look at getting one then, my laptop has gone through 3 or 4 HDDs now because the hard drive isnt protected from anything.

[ChesterMolester]

What do you mean, "not protected from anything?"

[Rubbr Chickin]

I mean there is nothing protecting the drive other than the shell of my laptop. If I bring my hand down too rough on the right side of the mouse thingy on the laptop, ill probably break my HDD.

[ChesterMolester]

That's a bummer. Personally, in that case, I'd just leave the OS on the main HDD and keep any important documents on an external HDD or a flash drive. It should be a little safer.

That way, if you do mess up something, you might be able to just re-install the OS with the installation disc. I've re-installed the OS on my machines many times when I *** something up for some odd reason. Just make sure to write down your keygen or activation code before you re-install the OS.

[Rubbr Chickin]

I dont have an external yet. I might get one soon, considering my little 120gb hard drive is filled with about 60gb of OS stuff and 30gb of Steam games lol.

[ChesterMolester]

Lol. I completely understand that.

If you do buy a buy flash drive, a rule of thumb is to pay about $1 per 1GB. HDD's are a different story.

I have a 1TB external drive that's almost full...

[Rubbr Chickin]

I would never have that much stuff. I never even filled up my 320 when I had them in my laptop. Even my 360 still has 80gb of the 250 in it.

[ChesterMolester]

1080p BluRay movies will fill it up pretty quickly...

and c'mon, you should know I have way too much ****.

[Rubbr Chickin]

lol. Ill probably never have that issue then, I buy DVDs so I can play them in the PS2 while I play Xbox.

[ChesterMolester]

Who said I bought anything?

just kidding... I buy everything just like a good consumer would.

[Rubbr Chickin]

I buy things cause im too lazy to torrent anything. Or I just watch stuff online. Or on Netflix. Or I get DVDs from the 'Flix.

[ChesterMolester]

We've had at least a few people offer us their Netflix username and password so we could use it for free. Weird, but I'll take it.

How long does it take movies to get to your place? I believe in watching movies right at that moment. I don't feel like waiting for a movie that I will probably not care too much to watch anymore by the time it arrives to my place.

[Rubbr Chickin]

I usually get them next day. So if I request a DVD on Monday I can get it usually on Tuesday.

Riding bike home still sucks. Riding to town is awesome though, did 2.5 miles in 20 minutes and barely had to pedal. Still want gas power though.

'murica

[Rubbr Chickin]

'Murica.

Ill leave the tractor stock though except for a pulley swap to make it go faster, make a gas pedal so I dont have to mess with throttle and probably a new exhaust so it isnt so loud.

Im modding my M98 to have the tank alongside the barrel like the old MILSIG Law Enforcement stuff and I am getting aluminum everywhere. I hate working with aluminum. Its great to work with until it needs to be put to a grinder.

Hopefully it goes better than the two failures I'm trying to get rid of. lol

Where are you taking aluminum off?

[Rubbr Chickin]

Im shaping a 1" x 1" x 2" solid piece of an aluminum bar to be bolted to the left half because the ASA needs to be raised. The hard part now is finding my old duckbill asa I had on a Spyder clone that broke.

[ChesterMolester]

Oh. That's interesting.

[Rubbr Chickin]

I need to pretty it up and get holes drilled for connecting it to the body and connecting the ASA to it and once I do ill snap a picture for ya.
