Charges back when this video were made (this is if every charge was applied)

$50 Hardware install (This was before BBY reduced the charge for installs because of the triviality of it to those of us whom are actual technicians.)

$130 For repair service (This includes Installing Clients OS, All drivers, All Windows Updates, Necessary Program updates {Flash and such}, Full physical computer cleaning, Post Operation Procedures of testing every function from a cold boot and doing that three times before computer is certified complete.)

Cost of hard drive is up in the air, but Given 2009 I remember drives there being in the $90-$130 range depending on capacity, spin rate and such.

$40 - They also probably recommended new Anti-Virus software as that is SOP if the client says theirs is out of date, don't have any or is about to expire.

Which leaves $270. This was the base cost for DATA RECOVERY services (Well, it was $259 for the base, but pretty damn close)

Of course the cost of the recovery would be different depending on the drive.

Level 1 Recovery = $259
Level 2 = $580
Level 3 = $1600 or more depending on the work needed for recovery. These are sent to Kroll OnTrack for clean room recovery or failed RAID arrays, or any OS other than Windows (back in this age at least)

Things were made much cheaper since then, but even for that work and scope of work, it's pretty standard.

You can probably tell I used to be one of the white shirts; and actually kept a department stocked of ACTUAL techs during my tenure.) Feel free to ask away if you have any other questions.

580 dollars for a disk replacement?? LOL, such theft.

That could include data recovery from the old disk, which is always very expensive (as the old disk is supposed to be broken at this point).

If anything this shows that it takes a lot of engineering and setup to make thermite usable for this purpose. To me this implies setup time and research would present a problem and a high probability for failure.

I should say I am a physicist. And when I deposit aluminum in the clean room it glows, granted it is under a vacuum. Therefore, it could be possible that moving molten aluminum also looks "red hot".

Steven Jones is famous for faking his data about cold fusion. That is all I am going to say about that.

I find it laughable that you think the people at NIST are capable of conspiracy... Don't get me wrong; they are great scientists. But I doubt they take kindly to people telling them the results of their experiments.

What really blows my mind here is what an idiot @blankfist is...

>> ^shole:

should be transparent.. the poor fella can't see a thing


And we can't see either!

And it's green! Aside for the poop.


Unless it is green poop!

Thanks for the promote Krupo. Speaking of space arguments the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) was just delayed for 2 years. Now its going to sit in a JPL clean room soaking up $400,000,000.

update:
this is a clean-room
the video was shot at Skywork Solutions in California.

OK, I went to the website - I had to.

LOL, It's an ad for the Hotel.
"Very Clean rooms. Starting from $59.99 nightly"

ring?

I thought I seen you before, you were cleaning rooms at F-Street..

computer interaction without peripheral devices or touch screens have tons of applications.... using an ATM, reading digital books/papers, surgeons/engineers interacting with digital tools in aseptic/clean rooms... pretty rad stuff.

NASA relies on highly trained engineers in full-body clean-room jumpers and hairnets to put their stuff together.

This thing is being glued together in a big hangar by blokes in old concert t-shirts.

I, for one, think that is awesome.

I wonder how many days he stayed home from school pretending to to be sick to do that....

Up vote swampgirl for cleaning room hero!

We saw this last night. Everyone is so quick to criticize the game, I'd like to add something positive.
I bought GH 2 over the summer for my kids. They LOVED it. They loved it so much that they have done nothing but beg for a real guitar from week 2 of having the game. Well they got their wishes and both received electric guitars for Christmas. They enjoy learning from their Dad, but they are harping me to pay for lessons which I will.

Now I wish there was Trumpet Hero, Piano Hero, Drum Hero, Clarinet Hero, Violin Hero, Harpsicord Hero, Cleaning Room Hero, Latin Hero, Western Civilization Hero, Brushing Teeth Hero, Walking Dogs Hero....

Hmmm. I was toying with the geek tag. Having never been inside a clean room myself, I didn't know if the clip warranted it.

In it goes.
