fail.
dont underestimate the amount of 10 whole mb’s.
IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAND BYTES.
*900,000 bytes?
WHAT NINE (HUNDRED) THOUSAND? THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT?!!?
wow there is so much fail in just these comments above
a lot of me. did fail died?
No, but me…
What? Last I checked 10 million (technically it’s more like 10,485,760) is indeed over 9 thousand.
OVER 9000 KILOBYTES!
…Ha, I guess they are even above 10000…
ED is your friend
That’s why comcast bytes! You get it? bytes? bites? No, I fail
ohh yeah like 3 3.5″ discs which means i could save settlers for the amiga os…
p.s.
I realy really like this game! ^^
more like 6 á 1,44 MB, which is totally sufficient to hold one of the best Games ever: MoM.
more like 6-7 á 1,44 MB, which is totally sufficient to hold one of the best Games ever: MoM.
I thought your mom was a great game, too.
ive done her thrice. ultimate level is sooo easy.
Oh, wow. How descriptive! Way to assume we will all automatically know what “MoM” stands for.
Wow… That’s just… Wow…
Sorry we’re not all hardcore nerds that understand every acronym on the internet
Apparently you don’t know how to use Google either.
Yeah, cuz googling “MoM” would be so productive.
Maybe you want acronym finder (hyperlinked above) ?
4 pages of results.
If you don’t know what MoM stands for you should get OFF MY INTERNET !
(I’m assuming its Master of Magic from 1994 which indeed is one of the best games ever)
I always played your MoM since 1994. I pressed the buttons and heard noises. I also felt and saw many things, and received much in return. It was a good game.
It’s old. The online storage according to their web site now is 2 GBs.
Did he DIE?
It actually used to hold 10MG?
yes…im a tech
its actually ten gigs now
THAT WASNT A TYPO?????????
hahaha remember me when yahoo mail was only 10 Mb’s
like 9 years ago
I believe it started out at 250 Mb’s.
You may also believe in the easter bunny.
What are you trying to say there is no Easter Bunny?
THE EASTER BUNNY HATES YOU
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. he does not.
Don’t worry. Pedobunny sure loves you.
He loves Easter”eggs”?
Did he DIE?
You would be wrong.
I remember thinking when I got a computer with an 80MB hard drive that nobody would ever be able to fill such an incredible amount of memory.
I have to keep deleting stuff at work because I’m less than 4GB from being full.
80 MB wow I had to read it twice I thought you said 80GB. Which is a small hard drive now.
My first computer was 432MB. We got 6 zip discs which each hold 100MB to extend our computer’s storage capacity to 1GB. Loading programs off of them took forever though.
My first computer was 1G and I was like wow this is a lot of space! I started filling it up after awhile with a lot of music, well back then I thought it was a lot. Now my smallest HD is 80gig.
My first computer had 64k of space. Pre-Windows 3.1…woohoo!!
My first computer had 128k of RAM and no hard drive.
Commodore 64, with cassette tape drive. My brother still has it in fact.
*sigh* Good times.
Sol-20 Terminal.

Etch-A-Sketch.
+200 points made of silver sand.
Somewhere around here, I have a SHARP MZ-700 (clickie): no HDD, single cassette tape drive, and no monitor (one plugged it into a television set using a standard aerial cable). I also have a PC with a (still perfectly good when I last used it a few years ago) 20MB HDD as slave.
Hehehe. I started on a TRS-80 with 4K (yes youngsters, just 4096 bytes) of RAM, a stringy floppy drive, and a B&W TV (yes, TVs only came in B&W for a while). Then I upgraded to a dual floppy Apple ][+ (and you could punch a new write-protect hole on the other side of the disk, turn it over, and call it a flippy) with a whopping 48K of RAM and a *color* monitor… Hard drives (20 Meg!) were still 5+ years in my future…
We’ve come a long way in 35 years.
My first computer was pre-hard drive. Our first hard drive was 20MB and seemed like a ton of space. Of course that was back when all I could get on the internet (though not necessarily called that) was text-only.
My first computer was called Z1…but sadly it was destroyed during WW2.
Then I got a HAL 9000 which sucked. Too many flaws in the navigation system.
I still miss my WOPR… Had to get rid of it, all it would do was play chess anymore.
my first computer was a macbook, only 4 gigs of ram, 120 g hardrive
That is good times. My first computer was a Commodore VIC 20 also using a cassette drive. My first IBM compatible PC had a 10MB hard drive.
God i remember those old computers.. I used to always play text adventures…Look Around: You are on a webpage called Failblog. Many people have gathered here. Something glistens in the corner…..Look at people: They are blogging they don’t notice you.. Examine corner: You see an X this might be treasure!!!… Click on X: It was a Trap you have exited Failblog and the people are laughing at you…game over…
Ah, I remember text-only Zork. I also once had a PC without even a Hercules card: the only games that worked were those in the Friendlyware package and a plain vanilla Tetris. Needless to say, I dreamed of blocks. Much.
AHHHHH I LOVED THAT!
My parents had a text-only computer that I wasn’t allowed to use, finally my sister and I got old enough to whine about the fact that we couldn’t play these new “flash games” that everyone else was playing and they ponied up for a new one (actually they ponied up for WebTV for awhile first, ugh)
I had an old hotmail account… 2 mb limit.
I gave up on it when I couldn’t even get normal sized files sent to me anymore.
And when it filled up (basically every day) they’d just delete random messages, which were inevitably the most important ones. That was when I said to hell with this and switched to Yahoo.
SARCASM DETECTION FAIL!
Where can I buy one of those detectors?
Yes Jim, You are correct!
Thank you for waiting, Jim.
absolutely not, cut it off imedietely!
Is he trying to loose weight?
Psst: try the reply button. It’s over there. ->
Sounds like a trap.
Jim’s fighters can’t repel firepower of this magnitude!
Haaa!!! So there is a reply button
i dunno… do you have breasts too?
All you young whippersnappers don’t know the value of storage anymore. During my days, we didn’t have any internal harddrives at all, we had a second 5.25″ disk drive! And we were happy!
I have a computer with a 8.2 inch floppy drive. From General Electric. Still works but eats a lot of power. The kids laigh at me when I play treasure map game it takes 30 disk to play load the game which last about 5 minutes and the game is over.
haha that’s funny.
i haven’t heard anyone mention punch cards yet. when we had 5.25″ disks, my elder’s would complain about punch cards or punch tape. lol.
Those were the days…
My first computer only had a 5.25″ floppy drive and a tape deck! Both external. And I LIKED IT!
And we had to walk 5 miles each way to our tape drives. In the snow. Uphill!
Both ways!
Sideways!
With a boner!
I think this one should have been titled, “Inability to detect sarcasm FAIL.”
you mean “Sarcasm detection FAIL”
Forced to pitch lousy products with a straight face for all eternity: retail really is the deepest level of hell.
~Customer service.~
~Helpdesk.~
Oh I get, he’s using a mac. That’s just fail.
I got lots of them bytes…
Actually, did anyone go check the website address the tech person gave in the chat? The actual storage amount is only 8 MB.
Reading comprehension fail. You can only upload 8MB at a time unless you use FTP to upload. It didn’t say what the total storage amount is.
If you go back to site you’ll see: “The total maximum file size that you may upload using the File Manager is 8MB (megabytes). You can upload up to 6 files at a time; however, the combined size of all 6 files cannot exceed 8MB”.
The keyword is upload.
All in all, it doesn’t matter. It’s cable, and cable stinks.

10MB, like having an extra hard drive?
Back in 1990, when I was running my Mac Classic, it had a 40MB hard drive. And to back it up, I used a stack of 25 floppies (1.5 MB).
Yep, first computer Two floppies, no screen (it was portable). Second, 40MB hard drive, and I wondered how I’d ever fill it up. Then windows came….Now I have 3TB. I wonder how I’ll EVER fill it up.
Lots of FRAPS recording, 60FPS high res footage with multi audio input.
I lost a TB of info last month and am strugling to stay under 2TB
i remember having a computer with 1 mb
This isnt exactly a fail. Comcast now offers 1 gb of storage and ftp services…
Megaupload is history xD
640k is enough for anyone.
I my day all you needed was 10mb, and if it was good for me it’s good for you.
They both fail – unless Joni’s being sarcastic. 10MB will hold at least 5 or 6 photos of regular size, depending on compression rates. Good luck with MP3s, though =P
Not necessarily. My Fujifilm camera (and it’s about three years old already) takes 12-megapixel shots that end up at around 6 MB. If Tom’s got a higher-end and more recent model, his statement might be accurate.
Only JPEGs are so small. If you are shooting a pro body in raw format, well, for example my 18 megapixel Canon SLR produces raw files roughly 25MB each, that’s why I use 8GB cards.
The JPEGs saved by consumer cameras are much smaller, but because they are so highly compressed, they also contain a lot less information than a raw file.
aren’t 10Mb enough?
It did used to be 10MB. It’s probably more now. What that tech-support person did was click a button that pasted in a script. The script was old and that’s why it said 10MB. The people who write the scripts never review them, the people who use them (the tech-support agents) rarely care what they say, and when they try to do something about it (request that the script be updated) it falls on deaf ears.
Now take that ‘model’ and apply it to everything Comcast does.
It’s a fail for that David_ dude. I mean if you want to share pictures online with friends…
Why would you upload a fricking 10+ mb photo? Then you’re just stupid.
I shoot at 21 MP and often pics are over 30-40 mb. When I send friends and family pics… I… magically… RESIZE THEM to like 100-150 kb each.
10 mb ain’t much… but it’s free so how the heck can you complain anyway.
test – why aren’t my posts posting?
My post posted. I am reborn. Whew!
What year are you in now? Microsoft gives you 25 GB on SkyDrive for free. So yeah, complaining about 10 MB is TOTALLY a right thing to do.
they don’t actually offer 10MB of storage, that was obviously a mistake.
Depends (pun intended). Are you male? If yes, then this can be construed as normal.
god i wish i knew what u all were talking about ^^ down with the easter bunny
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL
On Digg 2-3 days ago… on Failblog today… sigh. Getting worse and worse.
* cannot stand the sorrow *
The real fail is using comcast.
hehe, indeed.. our town has charter
prolly not much better
10 MB photos? That’s way too big. My photos are like 140 kilobytes. Buy a cheaper camera, you commie.
You are sooooo right.
I think the biggest fail here is he is on a Mac…
bot fail
How is it a fail? most ISP’s don’t even offer this service.
I looked it up and it’s actually 2GB :O
I don’t get it.
Oh. Don’t you know what a MB is worth?
Almost nothing, just like the US dollar.
Hey! Why won’t the link in the picture work for me?!
Cant let those XTs and 286s go to waiste
Comcast is all kinds of fail now. See also their “Internet Cap” they just introduced.
I dare someone go look up pen island dot com.
LOL
My friend told that to his yr 4 mates when he wus in yr 4
It was the MAC that failed. not the internet
it’s a FAIL
