Compact disk

A compact disk is the long form of a CD. It's that circular thing with a silvery backside that contains all the music/movies/data/shit/porn that you downloaded from the net is usually stored. It is what you call the principle portable data storage method for the late twentieth century. A CD comes in two sizes, the larger CD has a capacity of 700 MB, or 80 minutes of sound, and the smaller ones have a capacity of 185 MB, or 21 minutes of sound. There are three kinds of CDs. PRe-recorded CDs that comes with software / music / data already burnt in. CD-Rs where you get to burn data, and CD-RW where you get to burn as well aas erase data. As of now, portable data storage is changing over to flash drives and DVDs.

Bruning compact disks can be fun. Either way that you take it.

floppy disk

A very simple portable storage device. It's probably among the best choices for use on sneakernet because it's easy to write to and requires no special software. It's far faster to write to a floppy than to burn a CD, and it's kind of a waste to put a few documents on a CD. Plus you can edit files on a floppy without having to re-burn. They are slowly being replaced by USB drives, but they have at least a few years ahead before they are officially obsolete. Floppies are far more durable than most of those Linux geeks say they are, as long as you don't dip them in bleach or something. You can drag your keys all across the outside of a floppy and it'll still work fine. Try THAT with a CD. They hold 1.44 megabytes with standard formatting and are about 3.5 inches square.

Me: I need a box of floppies.
Linux geek: What are those?
Me: FLOPPIES! You know? The little squarish plastic things!?
Linux geek: Umm...
Me: Damnit! Am I the only one that still uses these things?
Linux geek: I bet you use Windows. Linux is better.
Me: Oh, kiss my ass.

mix disk

exactly like a mix tape only on CD.
a cd of music selected for a friend or oneself.

I wanted to listen to Katy Perry and Metallica at the same time, so I burned myself a mix disk.

compact disk

The improper spelling of "compact disc". If you ever say "disk" when reffering to any flat circular object, being it a piece of media or not, then you are wrong, and deserve to die for being a FUCKING IDIOT.

"I have soooo many compact disks, and I love taking it up the shitpipe!"

The Destructo Disk

Take a dish or plate, piss on it, freeze the plate then when the plate is frozen take it an slide it under a victim's bedroom door in the late hours. The room temperature will do the rest.

1: My roommate slide a The Destructo Disk under my door last night. My room smelled so bad this morning. I think I'll get him back with the good ol' poo butter.

2: Bro slow down what's The Destructo Disk?

1: You know? When someone takes a frozen plate of piss and let's it warm up in your room?
