The drive is awesome. So classy... and it's a 4GB. Not too bad!

Wtf, mine was 2gigs. Clearly UIUC doesn't actually want me.

Haha I don't know about that... but mine is definitely 4GB. 1.94 used, 1.85 available.

"Definitely" 4 gigs? Can you do math?

That is definitely a 4gig drive. Considering there would be firmware.

His math works if you know the numbering conventions used for storage.

The drive is 4GBs, that is 4*1000^3 bytes. However, most operating systems still interpret a GB as 1024^3. This results in any drive you get reporting less GBs than advertised.

[thelaststraw05]

It's ok, you still get about 93% of what was advertised. That's about an A.

Errrr...

Maybe not, I guess it depends on the curve now.

Thanks for explaining laststraw! I understand where you're coming from tanicius, it doesn't add up.

I didn't mean it to be a "telling," just laying out why the interesting math works.

A 3.44 is a misleading GPA ? So what is a 2.9x ? lol

Hopefully Dean Pless's misleading GPA radar is SUPER GOOD and they love my super cool LSAT score.
