Quick Questions

I think I've asked this before, but I just received my first ever tax rebate, so I'll maybe actually buy one this time: can anybody recommend a decent external hard-drive?

 

I'm avoiding WD as my last one of those spontaneously died not long after I got it whilst I was backing up once and not even Graham Knight himself could save it.

I have a couple of Freecom ones - a 300GB 3.5" one I've had for years and a 1TB 2.5" one I've had for a few months without incident.  Of course Freecom just make the enclosures.  The 1TB one I have uses a Samsung/Seagate hard drive, according to the Hardware ID.  So no WD content in there.

Why are street lights orange? And I don't mean like.... because of the types of bulbs they use. More why did they choose to make them orange?

 

It's cheaper to make and power sodium bulbs (which glow orange). Nothing to do with picking a colour - just cheapness and less electricity.

Isn't it because it's a darker light so it won't blind you, yet will still light up a street? Especially for driving!

When the correct answer is already provided, why come up with a fucking ridiculous answer?
