A-Data my flash thumb drive - 4GB

darun — Tue, 29 May 2007 17:39:56 +0800

OK, bought this A-Data my flash 4gb thumb drive to backup my work. I left the copy process running from morning till lunch since it has a lot of files, when I checked after lunch, the process seems to have stopped. After that the flash drives stopped responding. In winxp, it mounts it with a drive letter, but the size is 0bytes and the Disk management keeps reporting it as no media present. Tried mounting it in Fedora, same problem, the device is there i.e. /dev/sda1 but when I tried mounting it, it fails.

So I took back the drive and exchange for a new one. Started the backup process again, SAME PROBLEM. After awhile of copying, the process just stops and after that the drive cannot ever be read.

One thing I noticed, the files that I copied over takes more than 4GB. So it must have filled up the thumb drive, but why the hell does it stop OSes (I've tried winxp, fedora, and osx) from reading it the moment it fills up? I've never had such problems with other flash drives before, if it does not have enuff space it just aborts and I can still read/write to it, but this particular brand-model just hose your drive the moment it fills up. One conclusion, the drive sucks. Dont buy it.

CORPORATE LESSON

Well Jokes Heaven has been kinda slow lately, anyway here is one I got from an email, hopefully its not a dupe,

CORPORATE LESSON

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower
when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of
arguing over which one
should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives
up, quickly wraps herself
up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens
the door, there stands
Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word,
Bob says, "I'll give
you $ 800 just to drop that towel that you have on".
After thinking for a
moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked
in front of Bob. Bob has
a close look at her for a few seconds, hands over
$800 and quietly leaves.

Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the
woman wraps back up in
the towel and goes upstairs.! When she gets back to
the bathroom, her
husband asks from the shower "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door
neighbour," she replies.
"Great," the husband
says, "did he say anything about the! $ 800 he owes
me?"

MORAL OF THE STORY: Share critical credit
information with your
stakeholders to prevent avoidable exposure!

CORPORATE LESSON

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side
of the road, he stopped
and offered her a lift which she gladly accepted.
She got in and crossed her
legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely
leg. The priest had a
look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily
slid his
hand up her leg. The nun
looked at him and immediately said, "Father,
remember psalm 129?" The priest
was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced
himself to remove his
hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from
her leg. Further
on,while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her
leg again.The nun once
again said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" Once again
the
priest apologized. "Sorry sister, but the mind is
weak." Arriving at the
convent the nun got out, gave him a meaningful
glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest
rushed to
retrieve a bible and
looked ! up psalm 129. It Said, "Go forth and seek;
further up, you will
find glory."

MORAL OF THE STORY: Always be well informed in your
job; or, you might miss
great opportunities!

CORPORATE FINDING

Usually the junior executives and staff of the
company generally play
football; the middle level managers are more
interested in tennis and the
top management usually has a preference for Golf.

FINDING: As you go up the corporate ladder, the
balls reduce in size.

CORPORATE LESSON

A young executive was leaving the
office at 6 PM when he
found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a
piece of paper in his
hand. "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive
and important document and
my secretary has left. Can you make this thing
work?" "Certainly, Sir" said
the young executive. He turned the machine on,
inserted the paper, and
pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his
paper
disappeared inside the
machine. "I just need one copy."

Lesson - Never, never assume that your BOSS knows
everything.

CORPORATE LESSON

There were these 4 guys, Russian
President Putin, Germany's
Chancellor Kohl, Pakistan Dictator Musharraf and
French Premiere Chirac who
found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the
bottle, a genie appears.
Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the
bottle, he said, "Next
to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of
you a wish. When you
run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you
want the pool of water to
become, then your wish will come true." The French Premiere Chirac wanted
to start. He ran
towards the pool, jumped
and shouted WINE". The pool immediately changed into
a pool of wine. The
Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from
the pool.

Next is the Russian President Putin turn, he did the
same and
shouted,"VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of
vodka.

The German was next and he jumped and shouted,
"BEER". He was so contented
with his beer pool.

The last is Pakistan's Musharraf . He was running
towards the pool when
suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped
towards the pool and
shouted,"SHIT!!!!!!!........."

Lesson V: Mind your language, you never know what
it will land you in.

Sorry if posted before, a friend just sent me this..

There once was a very good old barber in New York.
One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he
goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot
accept money from you. I am doing community service." The Florist is happy and
leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop,
there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service." The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning the barber goes to open his shop; there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door.A Singaporean software engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service." The Singaporean software engineer is happy and leaves.
