XBOX 360 Slim versus XBOX 360 - a pictorial comparison

If you want to know how the XBOX 360 S (slim) compares with the older version of XBOX 360, here are some pictures to show.  The black one is the S (version) of the XBOX 360.

The XBOX 360 Slim is much quieter than the older version, but I don't think it's 'whisper quiet' as Microsoft has been claiming.  The DVD drive does make some, if not equal to the older version, amount of noise when it spins up.  But the internal fans are bigger and thus are quieter, that's a fact.

Original XBOX 360 and the XBOX 360 Slim
The XBOX 360 Slim is shorter in length, and thinner in width

The depth is almost similar though - XBOX 360 vs. XBOX 360 Slim

The smaller power adapter is definitely welcome!  It saves space and is lighter and easier to carry around.

XBOX 360 Slim power adapter is smaller and light

One fact about cockroaches

"If a cockroach loses its head for some reason, it can still live for weeks before starving to death. The cockroach's head can live for a few hours on its own, too. It will live longer if it is fed."


Ewww...I hate cockroaches!

Alcoholic - Joke

A joke I got in my email:

In an alcohol factory the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.

A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.
They tested him.

They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said,

"It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."
"That’s correct", said the boss.

Another glass.


"It’s red wine , Cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels."
"Correct."

The director was astonished.


He winked at his secretary to suggest something.


She brought in a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.

"It’s a blond, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month.
And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll also tell who’s the father!"

The only Digital Lifestyle Expo (DLE) 2010 Photo I took


All the way from South Korea, here is the "special girls" appearance.  Oh they do know how to pose!

“勇”字

汉字字源
这是“智勇双全”中的“勇”字,本为会意兼形声的字。①是金文的写法。上部为“戈”,下部为“用”。“用”亦表音,意谓 “用戈者,勇也”。②是《说文》中古文的写法,上部讹变为“甬”,下部为“心”,可见“勇”与“心”有关。③是小篆的形体,“心”又变为“力”,说明 “力”是“勇”的基础。④是楷书的写法。

Reclaiming disk space on an external USB drive

This article is for users running Microsoft Windows OS.

* Disclaimer: before executing these actions described below, make sure that you understand these delete data that you may otherwise need. I hold no responsibility for any loss of your data.

At times, you may store and delete files on an external USB drive formatted with NTFS partition. Then over time, you realize that the available disk space on your USB drive keeps getting less and less even though you know that you should have more than what's occupied on the disk. The reason is that your deleted files may have been moved to a folder call $Recycle.Bin on the root of your USB drive.

To reclaim is, open the command prompt, and change the drive letter to your USB drive. For example, if you USB drive letter is F:, type:

Then run this command to remove the directory completely:

rd /s F:\$Recycle.Bin

Confirm the action when prompted.

If you do not know how to find the drive letter, open your My Computers from your Windows desktop and note down the drive letter of your external drive.
