Open Sesame (phrase)

"Open Sesame" ( iftaḥ yā simsim, ) is a magical phrase in the story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" in One Thousand and One Nights. It opens the mouth of a cave in which forty thieves have hidden a treasure. Documentation The phrase first appears in writing in Antoine Galland's Les Mille et une nuits (1704–1717) as Sésame, ouvre-toi (English, "Sesame, open!"). No earlier oral or written version of the story is known. Galland's phrase has been variously translated from the French into English as "Sesame, Open", "Open, Sesame" and "Open, O Simsim".

"I've passed a standard size 512GB HDD through a magnet strong enough that I couldn't pull a chunk of metal off it, and it functioned absolutely fine afterwards" on the other hand, I have destroyed a hard drive with a electromagnet in about 2 minutes.

Braiam

@Psycogeek electromagnet != magnet ;)

Psycogeek

@Braiam Yes, but this one was designed for degaussing

I think the refer magnet (as stated) isnt going to be a problem. But then again i got so tired of Fridge magenets falling off i use neomybdiym (no i cant spell it) magents there even.

Braiam

@Psycogeek don't worry, Google can't either

Psycogeek

assuming that the data hangs around on the drive for 10 years, and magnitism can polarise slowly over time, by (new word) Magneteomigration :-) i would avoid playing with Strong magnets around them, , , then complaining that bad sectors were cropping up.

Braiam

wait, are we talking about damaging HD's or just scrubbing the data?

BTW, congratz SU, you have reached a backlog of 400 Close reviews

Psycogeek

01:20

Well he was talking about any need to be carefull, with magnets. i think it is true that most of the big easy destruction ability is gone. only minor care needed, like putting your 27" subwoofers speaker backside on the top of your hard drive.

---But, let us not forget MicroMachines. the accelerometer , and compass are not electronic devices. They are actually little teeny versions of what was once used to do that. Why just this last week i cleared up a electronic compass from being 100% wrong, by degaussing it.

Anonymous

since we are in spanish day, just say, neodimio

I had nothing to lose , in the case that i would depolarise whatever they use for compass, and just magnetically depolarised the whole thing, and the compass again worked perfect.

@JourneymanGeek how seraial access is different from direct acess while DASD & HDD are same.is seraial/direct mean the same ? If not , how so ?

Journeyman Geek

I have no idea

am i wrong ?

Journeyman Geek

I mean, I totally have no idea what the question even is

Ash

i was reading answers for this question and it makes me so confused :

Q: Why does RAM have to be volatile?

If computer RAM was to be non volatile like other persistent storages, then there would be no such thing as bootup time. Then why is it not feasible to have a non volatile ram module? Thank you.

ramdisk

Journeyman Geek

ahh

Ash

here daniel r hicks tells "But the original disk drives were referred to as "RAM" (since the other alternative was tape). If history determines precedence, DASD (what you young'ins refer to as HDD) is definitely RAM."

Journeyman Geek

lol

very simply?

Yanno a casette tape?

Ash

herd of 'em

Journeyman Geek

how you have to go through any bit of tape between where you are and where you want to be?

Ash

07:27

not seen one irl

Journeyman Geek

thats sequential access

with a HDD, you have the option of accessing anywhere on the disk, thats slightly more random access

Ash

HDD uses serial access where as DASD uses direct access it made me wonder if they were same

am I wrong ?

Journeyman Geek

read this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_access_storage_device

a hard drive is a DASD

;p

Ash

so HDD dont use serial access ?

Journeyman Geek

er

internally?

not exactly

they use CAV I think ;p

maybe CAA

Ash

07:33

CAV & CAA are ambiguous.

i have to go through disambiguation in wiki

Bob

@Ash Only one of the terms is relevant in this context...

actually, I have no idea what CAA is :P

!!wiki Constant Angular Velocity

ChatBot John Cavil

Constant angular velocity

In optical storage, constant angular velocity (CAV) is a qualifier for the rated speed of an optical disc drive, and may also be applied to the writing speed of recordable discs. A drive or disc operating in CAV mode maintains a constant angular velocity, contrasted with a constant linear velocity (CLV). Like all spinning-disk media, the CD-ROM drive includes a spindle motor that turns the media containing the data to be read. The spindle motor of a standard CD-ROM is very different from that of a hard disk or floppy drive in one very important way: it does not spin at a constant speed. ...

Bob

Oh, Constant Angular Acceleration. Not sure how that's relevant in this case - if it's constant acceleration... O.O

Journeyman Geek

;p

Ash

thanks @bob

Journeyman Geek

07:39

@Bob: the other way to track a spinning drive

I think gamecubes and laserdisks used that

Ash

@JourneymanGeek have u seen "uplink" question I mentioned you earlier ?

Journeyman Geek

probably not ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek CAA? nah

Ash

sorry if Iam bothering you .i tend to ask a lot more questions than finding it out myself

Bob

if your spindle speed s accelerating at a constant rate...

eithe it'll be CAA = 0, or it'll fall apart

Journeyman Geek

07:42

lol

Bob

oh wait

Constant linear velocity

In optical storage, constant linear velocity (CLV) is a qualifier for the rated speed of an optical disc drive, and may also be applied to the writing speed of recordable discs. CLV implies that the angular velocity (i.e. rpm) varies during an operation, as contrasted with CAV modes. The concept of constant linear velocity was patented in 1886 by phonograph pioneers Chichester Bell and Charles Tainter. Laserdiscs, the first consumer optical discs, used constant linear velocity to double playback time (CLV disc can hold 1 hour per side; CAV disc only 30 minutes). As the motor's speed decr...

So not really constant, strictly speaking

Gowtham

Ooh so the speed increases and decreases dynamically

I though the max speed in which the HDD platter spun was the speed qt which the head could write to the extreme edges of the platter

Bob

@Gowtham CLV is not used in modern HDDs

???

HDDs use CAV

the platter spins at the same speed at all times

therefore, the 'data' passes udner the head faster near the outer edges

I have no idea what you're on about.

Gowtham

So the outer tracks store more data than the inner tracks ?

what is an uplink ? I here about 'em often.Sounds like something that connects to a master machine or something.but often I tend to imagine it to be a connection to a satellite.

Bob

@Ash uplink upstream upload

Journeyman Geek

its a game? ;p

Bob

07:58

all related

I guess traditionally it referred to a satellite

Ash

i thought so

:)

"If a node A on the Internet is closer (fewer hops away) to the Internet backbone than a node B, then A is said to be upstream of B or conversely, B is downstream of A."

Upstream (networking)

In computer networking, upstream refers to the direction in which data can be transferred from the client to the server (uploading). This differs greatly from downstream not only in theory and usage, but also in that upstream speeds are usually at a premium. Whereas downstream speed is important to the average home user for purposes of downloading content, uploads are used mainly for web server applications and similar processes where the sending of data is critical. Upstream speeds are also important to users of peer-to-peer software. ADSL and cable modems are asymmetric, with the upstr...
