All USB sticks come formatted as FAT.  But FAT can't store large multi-gigabyte files.  Does anyone see any problems with formatting a disk in NTFS?  I can't come up with a reason not to...

you can always use an archiver like winrar that can split big files into chunks of 4GB max. And keep the FAT32 format.

The most awesomest clock face ever.

Nice find.  BTW, I don't understand the computation for "7" : 9-sqrt(9)+ ? = 7, what is actually the ?

Reading that would be "point nine bar". Some mathematical notations are used differently in different situations. I believe that they mean "ad infinitum" there. So:

nine minus root nine plus point nine bar = 9 - 3 + 0.999999999999999999999... = 7

Math is just wonky sometimes with odd symbol usage. I generally think of "bar" as meaning absolute value or ad infinitum for several digits, with dot being used for 1.

Thanks ! I only used to see a bar over a value to designate the conjugate of a complex number.

1979. The Shadows and Light Tour. Here's Joni Mitchell in a performance of her song Free Man in Paris accompanied by Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, Don Alias, and (the much missed) Jaco Pastorius on bass.

With a band lineup like that nothing further needs be said. :Thmbsup:

Alas, blocked in France by WMG.  Funny for a song mentioning Paris...
