Was algebra developed in Afghanistan? That was the last thing they did.

A good friend of mine got in a great deal of embarrassment one night when he referred to 'lubing up the big rig.'

30,000 rpm is the limit. Maybe there is a crystalline structure that can take more. Electrons orbit their atoms at nearly the speed of light when the nucleus has Z=147; that is 147 protons. Sets a maximum mass to elements because there is a limit to how many neutrons can pack in there.

My wife asked me how I lubricate my drive and I said by looking at your floppies, of course!

Ouch! I've had a hard disk "go bad," but I don't think that's ever happened to me before . . . Thankfully! I guess that's the reason you should never move your computer while it's running.
Hey everybody, check this out . . . A very nice little explanation, with easy-to-understand diagrams, of "flying heights," hard disk crashes, etc.

At the 10,000-plus revolutions per minute now typical of computer hard drives, centrifugal forces can ripple the lubricant like a washboard. Looks like the old 5400 rpm drives ain't so bad after all. They would seem to have their advantages.

What has any of the Islamic states done in the past few hundred years to advance civilization or better mankind? See my profile page.. Islam is a hoot.

I always thought "fluffernutter sandwich" was kind of dirty.

Spy, go check out Humble's page. You will laugh so hard, you'll hurt, you infidel.

Wasn't the whole idea about the Winchester drive that a cushion of air prevented the heads from ever touching the surface?
