- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 1 week ago:
Well, it’s sort of possible to compress large things into small sizes. But I don’t think it would work for this situation.
There are things called “.zip bombs”. Where an otherwise small file, when unpacked, can take up a large amount of space.
A famous example of a zip bomb is titled 42.zip, which is a zip file of unknown authorship consisting of 42 kilobytes of compressed data, containing five layers of nested zip files in sets of 16, each bottom-layer archive containing a 4.3-gigabyte file for a total of 4.5 petabytes of uncompressed data.
- Comment on Why do people say things like "I didn't do nothing"? 3 months ago:
Not everyone is equally educated on grammar. Not everyone cares about using proper grammar.
If you’re asking for a deeper sociological or psychological reason, then grab some books education disparity, poverty, public schooling, etc.
