How many GB would one file cabinet hold?
-
My Friend:
I need to slow down
-
Me:
O_o
-
My Friend:
I've just used 30 gig's of storage space on music
-
Me:
Meh, that's what you have me for.
-
My Friend:
YES!! I can delete my 30 gigs and make you sing me the song I want to hear?
-
Me:
Yes. Or I can supply you with all of your storage needs.
-
My Friend:
like a filing cabinet?
-
Me:
Yes
-
Me:
You can print off all of your data in binary and save in it a cabinet
-
My Friend:
weak
-
My Friend:
how much does that hold?
-
Me:
Does what?
-
Me:
A cabinet?
-
My Friend:
fo sho
-
My Friend:
is there like 60 gigs?
-
Me:
Lemme calculate
-
My Friend:
are you serious?
-
Me:
Yes
-
My Friend:
do it.
-
Me:
Well, we can say that the average song is 4MB
-
My Friend:
agreed
-
My Friend:
unless it's a Skillet song..cause their like 7, 8MB
-
Me:
4MB = 33554432 bits
-
Me:
One bit would be a 1 or 0
-
My Friend:
DUDE
-
My Friend:
I just finished my 30.5 GB file of 277 hip hop albums
-
Me:
One printed page hold approx 6460 characters
-
Me:
So one song would take 5194 pages
-
My Friend:
so..for time's sake..we're looking at about a .4 gig file cabinet
-
Me:
Doubtful
-
Me:
Average paper is 24lb/ream or .0048" per sheet
-
Me:
So, we're looking at about 25" of space needed for one song
-
Me:
Looking at my file cabinet of average thickness, I would say that one drawer is about 18" deep
-
Me:
And the average file cabinet has 4 drawers
-
Me:
So we're talking 72" of space
-
Me:
Or 2.89 songs per cabinet
-
Me:
So one cabinet holds about 11.55MB of space
-
My Friend:
lol, holy ****
-
Me:
Or, about .01128GB
-
Me:
Satisfied?
-
My Friend:
what if I wanted 30 seconds of the songs
-
Me:
Well, you'd have to put in some tabs
-
Me:
that way you could just flip to your favorite part of the song
-
My Friend:
good call
