srsly? cool. but i didn't realize the spirit was a car, not a truck. if that's the case, take a truck, it'll serve you well provided it doesn't have front wheel drive. :\

My brother's got a '92 Spirit.  It's reliable.

[Chocofreak13]

for some reason late 80's and early 90's cars always are. my sister's buick is a 96' and it's in damn great shape. of course, it was literally only driven on sundays to church by an elderly asian woman.

@Stew: Even better, said '94 Spirit is built around the engine of the '89 Omni I loved so much (It's like my car is a time lord, and is finally regenerating after it took a minivan to the side years ago ;v; )
As for reliability, only twice in the past decade that I can remember my Ramcharger was not drivable; once when the fuel pump died, and once when an idiot in a Toyota slammed into it from behind (See why I prefer to pretend 2010 never happened?)

@Kari: Indeed they are. You should see my grandpa's '88 Chevy truck; it's the automotive equivalent to Laptop the Laptop, in the fact that it looks like a rusted piece of shit but somehow still manages to work XD

As for vehicle to take when I move, I'm still not quite sure. I'll drive the Spirit for a while once it's running, while the Ramcharger is having its engine replaced, and then decide from there which I want to use (Maybe I'll take both >:3)

DO EET!

About cars... well, dad seems to collect them... He has a Chevrolet Pick Up Truck back from '79, a Ford Fairmont, I guess 80-82 a grand cherkee 96 and a ford explorer 96 too...

What is a good brand for external hard drives?
I'm looking for a 4 terabyte external hard drive.
And I want to know which one I should get.

Here is one that I'm looking at.

[Nichi]

I have a WD My Passport 1TB and a Seagate GoFlex 1TB, and both work pretty well. I'd imagine if you stick with WD or Seagate, you'll be fine

[Chocofreak13]

those are the preferred brands here. i've always preferred WD but my sister's old seagate fell into my lap, and outside of an inferiour base breaking, it's served me well.

[Nichi]

Mmm. I used to swear by Maxtor, but since they went out of business, I typically use either WD or Seagate

Also, Kari's birthday gift is in. I'll find a box for it and ship it to her next week ^^

[NejinOniwa]

Seagate is far superior to WD in my experience. The only WD i had broke down on me after half a year... Whilst my Seagate 1tb external has kept going for years now, and functions flawlessly aside from being a bit slow to spin back up once it's gone into power saving mode.

[LeaflameSD]

Terabytes... hmm... *clears throat* I'm kinda oblivious to all these things.

[Chocofreak13]

byte -> kilobyte -> megabyte -> gigabyte -> terabyte -> petabyte -> exabyte -> zettabyte -> yottabyte

TB is the current standard. but considering Petabytes got a mention in Buttobi CPU/I Dream of Mimi, they're not far behind. -w-

(for the record, if 1kb = 1000 bytes, then 1tb = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes)

[Nichi]

You forgot kilobyte

Byte > kilobyte > megabyte > ...

Someday I'm going to need to get a larger storage medium.  Or at least empty some stuff off onto my external drive next week at home.

Second week since my order got fucked up with no correction to it.  Starting to get real tired of this FRP.

This is also the, I think, fourth straight weekend where we've gone into it with it snowing.  Even if a guy the other day pretty solidly verbalized local feeling, "If it's less then a foot, I don't want to hear about it."

[Chocofreak13]

a good sentiment all around. when people flip out over less than a foot, it kinda pisses me off, considering what we deal with. :\

yeeeeah, i wouldn't order from those people again. >>;


so guys, here's something to feed my paranoia: MY TORRENTS WORK FINE HERE AT MY GRANDPARENTS'. seems big brother has been tracking who's been doing the heavy torrenting and singling them out. whoo now i'm freaked out! i want to get on this VPN service ASAP lest i have the FBI knocking on my door or something. i don't currently have the funds to flee the country, unless i flee to canada or something. >>;
