These seem overpriced. $437.78

You pay for constantly buying new Macs

[QUOTE=MIPS;27663289]This was 1996 dollars. Back then the canadian dollar was tops .60 on the US dollar, hence where all the stereotypical "canada has weird colored funny money" came from because it was worth dick-all almost anywhere on the planet. the UKP was also very expensive to us as well.[/QUOTE]

What is UKP? Great Britain Pounds?

Wow their are about 120 of those in the new wing at my school. Just think how much money they spent just to have outlets in the middle of the floor, some of them are locked or something too.

60 port, flashdrive (thumbdrive) replicator with AES256 support.

$8000 respectively.

Damn, fill a custom PC with USB 2.0 cards, buy a shitload of USB sticks with 256-bit AES encryption, and you basically have the same thing for a quarter of the price.

[QUOTE=ruarai;27665512]why would you need the aes 256bit encyrption drives, you can do that by files, cant you?[/QUOTE]
Yes but most users aren't going to encrypt every file to the flash drive most will always drag and drop or something like that

[QUOTE=ruarai;27665512]why would you need the aes 256bit encyrption drives, you can do that by files, cant you?[/QUOTE]
If you're thinking of microsofts "EFS" (Encrypted File System), it does encrypt file by file.. like all of them, even truCrypt. EFS uses RSA1024, which has been cracked. truCrypt uses AES256, which is a very strong encryption standard. The longer the password, the better it works too.

The reason why these devices exist is for enterprise solutions. What the fuck do you need a 60port USB rep anyways? The AES256 addition just means its a practical solution for corps who use HIPAA, or are a banking firm, and would prefer to have the encryption there.
Its still $8000, and it is silly. Sure does beat opening up 60 instances of Ghost to flash all those drives though! I do use one too for package management.

Surely 9,999,999.99 makes more sense? A comma separates a sentence into smaller chunks, whereas a full stop ends it. So a comma breaks down a large number, whereas a decimal point ends the whole number and starts the decimals.
At least that's how it seems to me.

[QUOTE=Rocket;27683418]Oh, I didn't finish my post. That 165,000 HDMI cable is actually 165.000[/QUOTE]

I got a new Monster Cable brand HDMI cable, 15 footer for $7 at good will. :/

[BiN4RY]

Speaking of Monster, I "bought" a pair of Monster Jamz in-ear headphone for almost $150 after tax just wanting to hear how it performs. It sounded EXACTLY like a pair of $10 Skullcandy headphones, except it have a nice and tangle resistant cord, supposedly 24K gold plated connector, and indestructible earbuds that weights like a brick.

Obviously, I returned it after having a good laugh at it.

I was in a museum recently that used that stuff to conceal video screens until you pressed a button. I was facinated trying to figure out how it worked instead of paying attention to the exhibits.
