  Why don't we get full space that is specified on drives?

  @patg7590 , that conversion actually usually causes you to have more space than expected. Since the hard drive might say 1 GB, which is 1000 MB, while in reality it will be 1024 MB. But yes, this conversion actually has caused some confusion in the latest Mac OS X, because people expect different amounts of space. @virtualist is right, and the system may also use some hard drive space as RAM in the form of a pagefile and virtual memory, although it is unlikely to use an external hard drive for that. @sandy, it is kinda hard for them to predict how much real space you’ll have availalble, coz the overhead u can’t use depends on a number of things like the partition system you have (NTFS or FAT etc)...

  Why don't we get full space that is specified on drives?

  Because some space goes into overheads. More technically, the hard drive needs to maintain an index of all the files it contains, and this index takes up space which is then not available to you to store files. The Hard drive company isn’t cheating you, its just some space gets used up for overheads…

  @HeNkiSdaBro , how buggy is it? I tried it on my Mac, and it was terribly buggy, so had to stop using it…maybe the windows version is more stable?

  What's a word for "ability to get work done"?

  wow…@Jeruba, ur gonna become another obama one day…hundred different buzz words u’ve managed to fit in there.. but thanks…awesome speech and lotsa good suggestions out there…@frdelrosario, rally doesn’t fit into this context. I wanna throw a few words at the audience. like : Integrity. Dedication. Effective. These are all skills a leader must possess… and effective, efficient and productive are all close but don’t exactly catch the meaning of what I’m trying to say…and well, they’re not fancy enough :P and I’m not sure about the meaning of gumption, @ABoyNamed… Different dictionaries gave me different meanings, ranging from courage to common sense, which when you think about it, are quite opposite most of the times…But could you tell me what it means according to you?
