    Destructive testing returns... and this time it's saucy



    Being BOILED ALIVE sounds absolutely gruesome and, for one unlucky CORSAIR VOYAGER MEMORY STICK, it was just that! HEXUS.tv added insult to injury with scorching, lava-like sauce and horrible mastication...
    http://www.hexus.tv/show.php?show=137

    And if you liked it, give it a digg
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Seems a bit "fake" compaired to the other video's, the stick looks placed in the pasta at one point and seems to get cleaned for photo oportunities and so you can see what its got written on it...

    I think you need less spare time, and if you do something like this again, do it blind drunk.

    Boiling water + technology + drunk people.... that might be intresting!

    I accidentally left a usb stick in a pocket and it got washed. Still works. I think you'd have to physically damage the chip or melt it to cause any data loss. Can't wait for them to get big enough to use as hard drives.

    personally i think you should leave it sticking out of a usb port on a rig and 'accidently' bang into it. That how i break everything.
