The Hive Is Alive!

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

So far, the worst offender of the "actual size is 10 - 20% less the noted" rule I've encountered was PNY thumb drive which held about 1 gig instead of the 4 gigs it was suposed to.

Wasn't there even a counterfeit thing going on with some thumb drives? But I believe those even said they had 4 Gigs while only having 1, which of course lead to terrible problems with data integrity once you exceeded the actual size.
Not sure if that could be connected...

Oh, and:
Morning Hive!

I always knew I shouldn't trust the Geek Squad*!

Sorry, having a bad day. Just heard I can't go back to school yet this fall...

Ouch, sorry to hear Blackrat. I sure hope everything works out so that you can go back during the next season.

Damn that sucks. If you don't mind talking about it, is it cause of financial problems, scheduling or (the dreaded) academic-related issues?

Morning!

I've had a rather interesting offer at work. I may be moving from a Customer Services role into helping develop the new systems that we're bringing in next year... so lots of new responsibility, excellent chances of later promotion, etc etc.

Very happy! Vive la Hive!

Yay, good news to balance the bad. Hivemind is once again balanced.

All is safe in the Hive?​

Hmm, that must be Aurora, standing up in the middle there.
