The Cheap Hard Disk...

So you buy a 500GB hard disk for an incredibly low price.  The salesman demonstrated it to you in the store, saving a file to it – so you know it works.  Then you bring it home and discover that you can't save any large files.  What's going on?

The hard disk is a fake.  It's just a 128MB flash disk mounted inside a false hard disk case (click to enlarge photo at right).  That's just 1/40th the size you thought you bought.

This is really happening...

This is Really, Really Stupid...

France has made it illegal for web sites to securely store passwords.  Instead, web site operaters must store passwords “in the clear” – meaning in a form that authorities can use to access customer data.

The bureaucratic mind at its finest.
