Hehe, this is hilarious. Can you imagine how many applications, not to mention Operating Systems, have fprintf() in their code?

first time i have ever seen a person with a doctorate without any published papers on the net - funny that one

Is it not illegal to claim your a doctor if your not? I think I seen somethink about that ...MM worth looking into.
>>not to mention Operating Systems, have fprintf()
Considering operating systems can't use most standard C library functions? I'd say roughly about 0 (plus, they have their own filesystems, can you imagine how portable that function'd have to be? )

I thought the disk moved not the heads.

No, I believe that the heads move across the platter, there is one head per platter (I think) in most IDE drives and these move back and forth across the surface of the platter which is spinning, (they don't make contact with the platter, unless you are dancing vigourously close to your computer).
Anyway, this news is going to make the world of Virus making a damn site easier.

This is so dumb I could even believe this guy is teaching students at university

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
I used fprintf to write to a floppy, errr
Im still trying to get the melted plastic out of the drive.

>Is it not illegal to claim your a doctor if your not?
Yep.
I don't know if that's entirely true... I know it's illegal to claim you're a medical doctor if you're not, but I don't know how illegal it is to say you have a PhD unless you're applying for a job or something...>Is it not illegal to claim your a doctor if your not?
Yep

Well, perhaps it is better to say: in the Netherlands it is illegal to claim a title if you're not. Here in the Netherlands, titles are protected by law.

Most drives these days have more than one per platter (actually, the min is 2 per platter, 1 per side), which makes for quicker access times. Also, they do make contact when you switch off, but only on what's called the landing zone, which is lightly roughened to clean the heads. Sometimes they stick, which is why tapping a dead drive lightly on the floor sometimes resurrects it (this is NOT a joke BTW).there is one head per platter (I think) in most IDE drives and these move back and forth across the surface of the platter which is spinning, (they don't make contact with the platter, unless you are dancing vigourously close to your computer).

Nor is the 'Shake test' (Pick up PC case and shake vigourously, listening for loose components.)
Or the 'swing test' (Take a cable, attach to roof by connectors, grab hold and put all your weight on it to test soldering)
Hard drives are rated to around 80g's, that is they can withstand an impact equal to 80 times that of gravity (when off), but only can be turned on / off around 100,000 times.
If you don't believe me, throw your PC out the window and see which bit survives.
