comment Are all bad blocks the same on a HDD?
Also - just so you understand the scope - I'm not trying to recover data. I'm trying to find out whether a given HDD is truly junk, or can I still use it for unimportant data (like backing up my movie DVDs and the like) and expect it to have a reasonable lifetime still.

comment Are all bad blocks the same on a HDD?
More research - that's why I came here. I don't know even where to start. :( Plus, advances in HDD technologies in the last decade have been enormous, and I wouldn't trust even a 5 year old article today. Have you any idea where I could find some information on this?

comment 7.25GB usable memory out of 8GB
Wrong site. Also, the main cause for this usually is the built-in video adapter which "borrows" system memory to use as its own.

comment How to pin NetBeans to Windows 7 taskbar?
Yay! It only took them slightly over 2 years! XD (OK, to be honest, I do understand that they probably had more serious things to do than this)

comment Keyboard lights sometimes stay on after PC is powered off. Why?
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. The computer is most certainly powered down - all fans are off, drives are stopped, power light is off, etc.
