   Everyone knows the conversion rate is 5gb to 120g.

     5GB is actually more like 119.62g.

   That’s only with SATA components. IDE is actually closer to 140g.

   Simple answer is a green hard drive, with less carbons in the footprint, it’l shave off atleast 30g per 5gb

   But if you zip your files, it adds about 5g for each 100MB

   There appears to be a ratio of files downloaded to owner retardedness.

   Leave the laptop in the sun a few hours it will shed some water-weight.

   This is so friggin’ stupid.
   Ever own a dog? Keep feeding it and never take it on walks and it gets fat? This should sound familiar, tubby.
   That’s what internet cafes are for. They’re like dog parks.
