niceandfriendly Posted 27 August, 2009 Share Posted 27 August, 2009 I need to get one of these things - ideally 16gb or something like that. Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy one? I've had a quick look on eBay, it looks like I'd be able to get a 16gb one for about £12, is that good? I've no idea, I've never had one. Amazon seems more expensive, around £20. Thanks.

Thedelldays Posted 27 August, 2009 Share Posted 27 August, 2009 did you know that around 97% of all memory sticks and things alike are made in China.. a few have been known to contain virus software on, which was intentionally placed all FACTS so be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Commie bastards turning the yoof into Red via USB Sticks now? Stupid post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 28 August, 2009 Share Posted 28 August, 2009 It is widely documented that since the secession of America's semiconductor supremacy to Asia, most computer chips supplied for civilian and military use in the United States by corporate giants like AMD, Microsoft, Intel and Motorola are now imported. As Hank was reminded by his visitors, "It's all outsourced"-by U.S. manufacturers to suppliers in Japan, Taiwan and China. Electronic components made to military specifications in Taiwan and Japan are good to go. But U.S. military microchip suppliers have in recent years been "sharing components from a single source manufactured over there in the Big C," Hank learned. And chips manufactured in mainland China for use by the United States military are-surprise!-not OK. Regarding the marine assault force, three aircraft carriers and their escorts about to wage war on Iran, .... was told, "We really don't know which components are installed in U.S. Navy weapons systems." Elements in the U.S. military have discovered that Beijing has rigged those decks to insure China's supremacy in any showdown with the United States. This has been accomplished by ensuring that its exported semiconductors used in many U.S. military computer and electronic components-from cellphones to missile warheads, fighter jets, frigates, radars, laptops and carriers-can be either accidentally or purposefully deactivated by a silent and invisible electromagnetic pulse delivered at the start of any future conflict.

Essruu Posted 28 August, 2009 Share Posted 28 August, 2009 So, to summarise: niceandfriendly would be best advised to back up the data on his memory stick if China and the USA ever go to war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 28 August, 2009 Share Posted 28 August, 2009 lol. and "either accidentally or purposefully deactivated by a silent and invisible electromagnetic pulse delivered at the start of any future conflict." As opposed to electronic circuits that ARENT ****ed by an EMP pulse?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to electronic circuits that ARENT ****ed by an EMP pulse?!?!?! Oh how the US laughed when they dismantled a defector's MiG-25 and found it based on old valve technology. Right up until they realised it could carry on operating following an EMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigersaint Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 did you know that around 97% of all memory sticks and things alike are made in China.. a few have been known to contain virus software on, which was intentionally placed all FACTS so be careful Following on from TDD, and as stated most flash memory is assembled in China from Silicon wafer cut in Japan in fab plants soley owned by Toshiba and SanDisk, SanDisk being a 100% american company and the patent holder for flash memory which all other companies have to pay a royalty to them to produce. The problem of dodgy Flash Memory such as SD, Micro, and USB come from the many illegal replication plants in China where they are bulk purchased in high volume from genuine product distributors at a low cost and are regraded fusion products that look original to every last detail including the packaging and is probably the key source of some product containing the virus software TDD speaks of.
