Was going though some photos and found these from the Colombia Air Mobile Jungla guys. Note the KaBar boxes in the bottom of the Blackhawk. We took a bunch fo KaBar stuff down and gave it away, as we did Surefire.

Very cool. Dump a couple TB of your pics on here so we can par-uze them. :D

Knives, EOTechs, ACOGs, beltfeds and other assorted win.
 
Dude, I have no idea what your first sentence means....
 
Anytime we go to SA we give away a whole bunch of knives dfrom various manufacturers and our own stuff also.
 
You've got to love the way knives make people smile, or maybe it's the automatic weapons...

You guys (RAT) hauled KBAR knives down to the jungle and gave them away? I guess you really mean it when you say it's not competitive (knife business).

We do mean it when we say there is no competition between us and anyone else. We think KaBar is one of the finest companies in the world and if we can help put their gear and name into some small corners of the planet that we may frequent, we're always happy to do it.
 
Not to be a jackass BUT...

TB is terabyte, tb is terabit.

a teraBYTE is 1000 gigaBYTES, a teraBIT is 1000 gigaBITS.

It can vary depending on what system you are talking about, but a byte is 8 bits generally speaking, or one octet. Therefor a terabit is generally 1/8 the size of a terabyte.

The easy way to keep it all in your head is when you talk about transmission you're talking bits, when you talk about storage you talk about bytes. This is all generally speaking of course.

To make it more confusing, when talking storage, a kilobyte is 1024 bits, not 1000 bits. HD manufacturers love to base storage numbers on a 1000 byte KB. All very confusing and not worth knowing most of the time.

To Summerize:

1 Terabyte = 1000 gigabytes

1 Terabit = 125 gigabytes

all generally speaking of course

A guy in BDUs, braces, holding a Kabar Cutlass Machete in his teeth, toting a M240B SAW, is a pic that will make it as a Desktop background on my work computer.

Those are some grand pics, to be sure, and the guy with one of Toooj's Kukri 'Chete is one lucky dudes, those things will lop off anything under 6" in diameter in one lick. Badass Mr. R.A.T.

Hi Adam -

1 tb = 1024 gb

Good on RAT for taking the stuff to the troops. :thumbup: :cool:

Yeah, for storage, if you read my whole post i mention this ;). Its an odd thing, these numbers, as they can vary. As i mentioned, storage vendors like to use a 1000 byte KB, while we measure them as 1024 bytes, go figure :D But yes, in most situations, 1024 GB == 1 TB

This is from Wikipedia

"A terabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix tera means 1012 in the International System of Units (SI), and therefore 1 terabyte is 1000000000000bytes, or 1 trillion (short scale) bytes, or 1000 gigabytes. 1 terabyte is 0.9095 tebibytes or 931.32 gibibytes using binary prefixes. The unit symbol for the terabyte is TB or Tbyte...

* In standard SI usage, 1 terabyte (TB) equals 1000000000000bytes = 10004, or 1012 bytes.

* Using the traditional binary interpretation of SI prefixes, a terabyte is 1099511627776bytes = 10244 = 240 bytes = 1 tebibyte (TiB)."

Like i said, probably not worth knowing all the minutia, but its fun trivia.
