Video:Essential Disk Care Guide

essential disk care guide

- never leave diskettes in the drive, as the data can leak out of the disk and corrode the inner mechanics of the drive. - diskettes should be rolled up and stored in pencil holders. - diskettes should be cleaned and waxed once a week. microscopic metal particles may be removed by waving a powerful magnet over the surface of the disk. any stubborn metal shavings can be removed with scouring powder and steel wool. when waxing a diskette, make sure the surface is even. this will allow the diskette to spin faster, resulting in better access time. - do not fold diskettes unless they do not fit into the drive. "big" diskettes may be folded and used in "little" drives. - never insert a diskette into the drive upside down. the data can fall off the surface of the disk and jam the intricate mechanics of the drive. - diskettes cannot be backed up by running them through a photo copy machine. if your data is going to need to be backed up, simply insert two diskettes into your drive. whenever you update a document, the data will be written onto both disks. - a handy tip for more legible backup copies: keep a container of iron filings at your desk. when you need to make two copies, sprinkle iron filings liberally between the diskettes before inserting them into the drive. - diskettes should not be removed or inserted from the drive while the red light is on or flashing. doing so could result in smeared or possibly unreadable text. - occasionally, the red light remains flashing in what is known as a "hung" or "hooked" state. if your system is hooking, you will probably need to insert a few coins before being allowed to access the slot. - if your diskette is full and needs more storage space, remove the disk from the drive and shake vigorously for two minutes. this will pack the data enough (data compression) to allow for more storage. be sure to cover all openings with scotch tape to prevent loss of data. - data access time may be greatly improved by cutting more holes in the diskette jacket. this will provide more simultaneous access points to the disk. - periodically spray diskettes with insecticide to prevent system bugs from spreading.

Video:Spinning Black Hole: Gas disk swirls inward

spinning black hole: gas disk swirls inward

this image is from a computer animation illustrating a spinning black hole. the gas can be seen forming a disk-shaped structure as it whirls around the black hole, like soap suds spiraling down a bathtub drain. lines from the poles of the black hole represent jets of gas being ejected from the vicinity of the black hole at nearly the speed of light (about 186,000 miles per second). although nothing can escape a black hole once it passes its point of no return, called the event horizon, black holes are "sloppy eaters," often expelling matter that approaches but does not cross the event horizon. the poorly understood jets are frequently seen near black holes that are swallowing copious quantities of gas.
