Flash memory is a non volatile computer memory that can be electrically erased
and reprogrammed. It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards
and usb flash drives for general storage and transfer of data between computers
and other digital products.
It is a specific type of eeprom electrically erasable programmable read only
memory that is erased and programmed in large blocks; in early flash the
entire chip had to be erased at once. Flash memory costs far less than
byteprogrammable eeprom and therefore has become the dominant
technology wherever a significant amount of non volatile, solid state storage
is needed.
Applications include pdas personal digital assistants, laptop computers,
digital audio players, digital cameras and mobile phones. It has also gained
popularity in the game console market, where it is often used instead of
eeproms or battery powered sram for game save data.
A practical joke or prank is a stunt or trick to purposely make someone
feel foolish or victimized, usually for humor. Practical jokes differ from
confidence tricks in that the victim finds out, or is let in on, the joke rather
than being fooled into handing over money or other valuables.
Since pranks are made to make people feel foolish or victimized, there is
an inherent strain of cruelty in most practical jokes. There is a thin line
between practical jokes and hooliganism, bullying, vandalism and sadism.
The term practical refers to the fact that the joke consists of someone doing
something a practice, rather than a verbal or written joke.
A practical joke can be caused by the victim falling for a prank, the victim
stumbling into a prank, the prankster forcing a prank on the victim, the
prankster causing others to do something to the victim, or even causing the
victim to do something to others. Sometimes more than one victim is used.
Today scary ghost videos have become a dime a dozen, with the advances
in technology that make it easy for the average person to be able to buy
software to edit a video to turn a seemingly mundane scene into a scary
ghost video.
Some scary ghost videos are disturbing and, depending on your beliefs,
can range from very frightening to laughable. Many videos claiming to be real
scary ghost videos are obviously doctored using special effects and others
are so subtle and well done you really can believe they are actual scary
ghost videos.
With video mainly digital now, authenticating scary ghost videos is almost
impossible using the old technique of checking the actual film for spliced or
painted frames.
There are several shows that deal in ghosts and scary ghost
videos.
Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel features a team of ghost hunters recording
in a supposed haunted place and they sometimes capture scary ghost videos.
Another show that features scary ghost videos is haunted travels on the
travel channel.
