My PS3 recently died and I'm planning on getting a new one. Since I won't be able to use the data transfer utility couldn't I clone the HDD to the new PS3 HDD?
Is it possible to get the data off of the hard drive of a PlayStation 3 that has crashed? I have already voided the warranty so I am not worried about that and I have access to quite a few tools.   I have a new PlayStation and a few saves that were not backed up. I am not worried about them but if it is possible I would love to get it moved over.   The old PlayStation will not turn on at all and I think I am going to have to pull the drive. My main concern is if I am able to transfer the files without running into any issues. I have heard that some of the stuff is specific to each PlayStation, is that true?

I guess I could imagine that there was a time when accidentally disconnecting the monitor would have been catastrophic, though I don't see that being the case today.  Is it just a legacy holdover that they are still secured with screws?  Also, why is it that the video connection is really the only one that is still secured this way?  It seems like the power cable would be a better candidate to be secured with screws.  That really could be catastrophic.  In the end, the reason this question occurred to me is that I've never had a video cable come out when not screwed in, so why the significant security?

Storage for Eldritch Horror Is there an optimal strategy for storing Eldritch Horror cards and tokens so that game play is facilitated.   I am not looking for answers that including "zip bags" and other things to keep the game element safer while is storage. Although, a strategy that works well for both cases will clearly be superior to one that only works for game play.  I am not limiting this to commercial solutions. I am quiet happy to build your custom made solution if you release the specification/plans of course!  Although, it it requires a 3D printer, more power to you. $a, b, c$ are positive real numbers.   Prove that $$8abc\le (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)$$  I haven't really gotten anywhere, just tried to open up $(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)$ and got null. What does "Meta" mean?

Here is what I have done so far.  Call $c = (1 \, 2 \, \dotsc \, n)$.  I made the observation that $$ \overbrace{c c \dotsb c}^{n - j + 1} (i \, j) \overbrace{c^{-1} c^{-1} \dotsb c^{-1}}^{n - j + 1} = (1 + i - j + n \, 1). $$ Thus, $\langle (i \, j), c \rangle = \langle (1 \, i - j + n + 1), c \rangle$, so it suffices to look at $\langle (1 \, k), c \rangle$ for positive integers $2 \leq k \leq n$.  I've checked that, for the value $k=2$, $\langle (1 \, 2), c \rangle = S_n$.  This immediately implies $\langle (1 \, n), c \rangle = S_n$.  I suspect that no other values of $k$ will work, but am not sure how to prove it. I know this has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it with Google.

I want to find out what device my file is on so that I can use it in a script. I can get this far:  $ df  .

What I really need is something like this so I can pipe it to the next command:  $ somecommand . /dev/disk0s2   How can I achieve this, preferably without resorting to string hacking the 'df' output? How to find P(2X>4)? This is a Binomial question. I am required to find P(2X>4), and given that X~B(10,0.2), how do I convert it to 2X~B(n,p)?  Have tried converting from P(2X>4) to P(X>2), but understand that it doesn't work that way.  Do i have to use integration or any formula that i should refer? Do electrons have shape? According to :     The electron has no known substructure. Hence, it is defined or assumed to be a point particle with a point charge and no spatial extent.   Does point particle mean the particle should not have a shape, surface area or volume?  But when I searched Google for the "electron shape" I got many results (like  and ) that says electrons are round in shape. Who is the authority -- scientists, or linguists -- on the definitions of everyday words referring to types of animals? How does space affect the human body (no space suit, no space craft) How does "outer space" affect the human body? Some movies show it as the body exploding, imploding or even freezing solid.   I know space is essentially a vacuum with 0 pressure and the dispersion of energy makes it very cold. So are the predictions above accurate? My friend installed Windows 7 on his computer (upgrading from XP).  He wasn't sure if his processor supported x64 or not, so he installed the x86 version, just to be on the safe side.  After I looked it up, it turns out his processor does support x64, and now we want to upgrade.  The question is: is it possible to upgrade without completely re-installing the OS?  Can I? Or do I have to format the C: partition again? Why is looping over find's output bad practice? show that a distance function is continuous Let $X$ be a metric space with metric $d$. Define $d: X \times X \to \mathbb{R}$, show that $d$ is continuous.  I would like to show that the function is continuous the topology way (since it is a course on topology).   Let $(a,b)$ be a basic open set in $\mathbb{R}$, then $d^{-1}(a,b) = \{(x,y): a&lt;d(x,y)&lt;b\}$. Define $A= \bigcup_{x \in X} B_{b} (x)$, where $B_b (x) = \{y \in X| d(x,y)&lt;b$}. Clearly $A$ is open. Now define $C = \{(x,y):d(x,y)&gt;a \}.$ Essentially I hope that $A \cap C$ is open. But I am stuck in showing that $C$ is open.  Any help please? :)
