Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHow long have Trending Topics been in the main page? Maybe over a month now. In my opinion that ruined the usefulness of them because it drew far too much attention to them. Twitscoop is now much better at watching events unfold.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetBefore it used to be a plan ol' list. I didn't notice any announcement either.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetBut what stupid password storage system are they using that is based on the password length in ANY way?
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetJust thinking about it...what is the actual technical limitation? Surely they're just hashing passwords anyway, so it's not like they have some sort of database schema that's limited to 20 characters or something.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetMe. It's not hard, particularly if you use a passphrase (using that as an example here)
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIt's not as bad as Tesco, which I think has a limit of about 10.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetWould love some Twitter apps to start making use of it. Maybe I should just develop one though...
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIt's a combination, for sure. There's loads of FS overhead.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIf you run an OS that gives you low level access, try using something like dd to measure the actual blocks of a device. Or maybe some sort of low-level partitioner e.g. fdisk. You'll see that Alex is right.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetRAM isn't referred to in the same way I THINK due to system architecture - the system architecture NEEDS a proper number, rather than an arbitrary (as far as a computer is concerned) 1000 bytes to a KB.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIsn't it ambiguous? Marketing people say 32GB when referring to 1,000,000,000 bytes/GB, OS says 32GB when referring to 1,073,741,824 bytes/GB. They can get away with it because the definition of GB is ambiguous considering 'Giga' is referring to 1,000,000,000. The reason the OS is doing a different calculation is because it does everything in base 2, not base 10. And of course marketing people are going to use the one that makes it sound bigger.
