Știu că nu e frumos să faci mișto de alții. Știu că nu toată lumea se pricepe în orice domeniu iar în IT unii nu se pricep absolut deloc.
Cu toate acestea, să deții un calculator și să crezi că ceea ce circulă pe cablul de conexiune la Internet are masă, că un fir de cupru poate să transporte masă și că semnalul electric, în general, datele, au masă și îți fac laptopul să devină din ce în ce mai greu… implică o oarecare doză de ignoranță bine inrădăcinată. Ca să nu mai vorbim de faptul că a trecut prin compromisul de a-și îngreuna cache-ul browserului navigând pe Internet până într-un forum, înregistrându-se cu o adresă de mail, minunându-se probabil cât de grea este căsuța sa poștală de la Yahoo și exprimându-și marea descoperire…
Sunt curios totuși cum își explică crearea fișierelor. Minune divină? “Let there be files!”
Ca să fie mai clar, iată despre ce vorbesc, extras de pe un forum Microsoft (linkul la sfârșitul mesajului). Am copiat câteva replici aici pentru că de multe ori astfel de discuții (ca și cea cu războiul din Georgia, pentru cine mai ține minte, de pe Yahoo Answers) ajung să fie atât de mult luate la mișto încât sunt șterse.

Title: Hard Drive weight increasing?
Apologies if this is the incorrect area for this question.
I’ve noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.
I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don’t travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.
My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB’s = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.
Thanks in advance!

Acum, fiind vorba de un forum Microsoft, au existat și răspunsuri decente, ce-i drept, deși toți presupuneau că n-au înțeles bine întrebarea.
Restul de răspunsuri mai “inspirate” evident că au fost ceva mai puțin “decente”:

The weight gain is not in the Xbox & Laptop, it is in *you* from all that junk food you are pigging out on while playing way too many games for way too many hours on your Xbox & Laptop.

If you have very large files, you can compress them and then compress the compressed file etc. until the files are down to 1 byte. That should make you laptop lighter than when you bought it! I use this trick all the time so that I can save my entire music collection on a 5-1/4″ floppy (yeah, I found a use for them

It depends on the size of the gigabyte, if it’s a bigger gigabyte it will weigh more (like a normal bite of your Mcdonalds) …the bigger the byte the more energy (jiggawatts) it will consume and therefore weigh more. Using the formula w=g/j (weight = gigabytes/jiggawatts) you will see how much the weight will increase. Avoid .exe files as they are really heavy according to Christophé Toffy Brun in his 1908 memoirs…

This is a rare error when the overwriting mechanism of the memory banks lead to an overflow of data because it cannot add on and thus super-stack, increasing the weight significantly. While normal weight/file ratio is approximately 0.02 oz/GB, in rare cases such as these, it can go as high as somewhere around 6 oz/GB.
One solution is going to the system32 folder (C:\WINDOWS\system32) and deleting certain unnecessary files, but too much tampering may cause permanent changes to your computer.

Esteemed lanuletta:
I’m afraid I have to disagree with you on this one. The fact is that the equation to which you refer (discovered in the XVIIII century, by Lineus Torvaldus) involves gigabytes AND giggawatts (as opposed to your “jiggawatts” which have been deprecated). The correct form is>
“weight of data equals gigabytes divided by giggawatts”
or
wD=g/g
Basic algebra shows that g/g=1, so
wD=1
Divide both sides by D…
w(D/D) = 1/D
thus eliminating (D/D) it renders.
w = 1/D
Which reads: “The weight is the inverse of the Data”
This is the formal mathematical proof that the more data you store, the LESS the computer weights.
If anything, this person should put his hamburger ON TOP of the laptop, to act as a paperwieght.

I am glad you brought this up actually.
I don’t think this is just a technology problem. The other day, I was reading one of those MS press books (One of the Thick ones) and towards the end of the book (after reading it for about three hours) I wanted to get up for a glass of water and use the toilet eventually.
But, here’s when a strange thing happened. As i was about to get up (I usually read in bed) my head was so heavy that I couldn’t get up. I roughly estimate the wheight increase ~564.32 grams.
Well, I attributed this phenomena to the amount of information that got stored in my brain during that time (Notice the similarity there ? )
I eventually fell asleep and when I woke up a few hours later to take the MS exam guess what?!? My head was light again, and I consequently failed the Exam as I couldn’t remember anything a read on that book.
Based on my experience, what I would suggest, is turn the laptop off, leave it like that for a few hours and then you can carry it around without risking to break your back. You might risk to loose your data but hey, your health is more important.
I hope that helps

Si premiul cel mare: :))
Dear friend:Every Gigabyte counts as 5oz of extra weight for your computer.There has been cases (in computers with 1Tb of Hard drive and more) of people left eMule activated 3 days and when that people returned to the computer,there was a hole in the floor instead.
Maybe you should try a compression software (like 7zip for example) which help reducing the data’s weight.
Take care of those P2P software that quickly increase your data.Watch out and be careful.
Use MS-DOS to drastically reduce data weight.
Greetings from Spain!
