OT: Harddisk defragmantation

but Fyron, this procedure is not meant for them. That is why Docktor Nårton says: "...if you don't know how to do that, You'll ought to stop reading right now, since your knowledge about datamachines is way to low.
Don't be surprised, it won't look like the disc on your turntable."

anyway, I defraggled my motherdisc and it worked great . Good thing I still had a box of Svinto in my kitchen from my Last trip to Malmö (Svinto is a Swedish brand of Steel wool added with soap, ask for at your nearest convenience store).

Since I had the motherdisc already open, I also decided to make a new partition. I used a few data chisels (a hacksaw also works good) to cut all the discs in two.

Be careful when you do this, that you don't mix up which parts belong together.

It is a bit more difficult than the standard defraggle process to get all the parts together after you devide the discs. But a little bit of peanut butter can be of great help. That also serves as a lubricant for later and makes your motherdisc run faster and more quiet.

Anyway... after I am done my motherdisc runs very fast and booting the computer takes almost no time. And now I have not only a C: drive, but also an Ö: drive .

Dude took steel wool to his computer.

You are greatly overestimating the vast majority of people...

Just for fun, I think I'll start using the Docktor Nårton terminology when I talk with my coworkers...

PC = data machine
hard drive = motherdisc
defragment = defraggle
internet = interweb

Edit:
Also, some cool Swedish sayings!

"Sometimes there are as little time as it is money, just as far as the noose goes"
"You'll be able to fix to most malignant bugs who throw pokes in your wheels"
"I fly whom walks on it's toes across a river, doesn't make a summer"
"At the same time, to flies on one blow"

I have no idea what they mean, but they sound kind of neat.

Maybe I can say these and impress the people who work at Ikea when I visit that store next time. I noticed some pretty attractive-looking girls working there Last time I went there. Come to think of it, perhaps I can pick up some Svinto steel wool at Ikea... (In my city, they have Swedish furniture stores called Ikea, they sell good-quality, fairly-priced furniture, and they also sell some various Swedish goods as well. )

One more saying from the same site:

your hands grows safely in your pockets


And I must say I liked the answer to how you format your internet to upgrade it to Win Xp.

Also from the site, some techical terms:

Internet Ignorer 6.0.
Plug'n Pray.


And one of my favorite quotes to someone replying he doesn't speak english:
That's ok, you can talk any language you want. I speak both of them.

And the overclocking advice is beautiful, just remember to place the clock over your computer!
But I feel for the person not finding the "Any " key on his keyboard, 3 weeks and it still says "Press any key"!
And the solution to My disk is FAT
being Don't accept cookies is also useful.

And I still haven't seen any good solution to this problem:

Im currently trying to upgrade my Gforce 2 graphics accelerator card to Gforce 3, but althoug i have dropped it from approx. 3 meters a couple op times, the impact with the concrete floor dosent seem to give it more than a 2 G impact.
I am considering if it has to be a 3 kilometer drop, and if so how will i get it out of the window of an Boeing 747-400 without the airline personel notising it.
(No wonder the Gforce 3 are expensive the ticket itself is almost the price of a new card..)
