  Nerve Agent: GB
GB is a "first generation" nerve agent, identified in 1938 as a potential chemical agent by German researchers examining toxic organophosphates as a result of the discovery of GA (Tabun).
GB was the most expensive (in terms of raw materials) nerve agent selected for mass production by the Germans as part of their Grün 3 program, requiring 1058 tons of raw materials to produce 100 tons of agent.
GB was the first agent to be employed to cause mass casualties by nonstate actors when it was used for attacks by the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan during 1994 and 1995.

 STEYR GB   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Basically, the GB used some of the expanding powder gases from a fired round to form a counterpressure that delayed the opening of the slide until the bullet exited the barrel, allowing the gases to escape.
With the GB's loss of two important military trials, Steyr realized that the GB, despite police sales to Pakistan and Lebanon, and some unofficial use as an individual weapon by police officers in other places, was not generating sufficient sales in the extremely competitive military and police service gun market.
The GB was also hurt by its association with the failed Rogak and, perhaps, by its unconventional appearance.

 GB 18030: A mega-codepage
GB 18030-2000 is a new Chinese standard that specifies an extended codepage and a mapping table to Unicode.
The mapping table between GB 18030 and Unicode is backwards compatible with the one between GB 2312-1980 and Unicode, and with some exceptions (with the one between GBK and Unicode), most of the changes compared to the GBK mapping table are due to updates for Unicode 3.0.
GB 18030 is defined as much with charts of assigned characters as with a mapping table to and from Unicode.

 The Global Brain FAQ
Since the GB becomes more effective by monitoring user behavior, it may seem that it will get to know everything an individual has done on the net, including actions that this user would rather keep private, such as visiting a pornographic site, or communicating with a competitor of his or her employer.
Thus, the GB is a cheap and efficient way to increase the education level, access to information, and economic competitiveness in all regions of the world, helping Third World countries to bridge the gap with the wealthiest countries.
As the GB will process the knowledge and intentions of millions of people, the conclusions it reaches and the decisions it makes will in practice be too complex for a single person to comprehend.

 .gb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The normal rule in the Domain Name System is that a top-level domain for a country is derived from the corresponding two-letter code in the ISO 3166-1 list.
According to that list the code for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is GB, and the.gb top-level domain was therefore delegated.
However, GB is a common abbreviation for Great Britain, which is not the same as the United Kingdom (Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland).

 The biggest! 4 GB and 6 GB CF tested: Digital Photography Review
While the Lexar 40x 4 GB is impressive the Pretec 6 GB is even more so considering that it is similar in design to IBM's Microdrive (both a miniature hard disks) but has trumped Hitachi-IBM's new 4 GB Microdrive both in capacity and time to market.
The Lexar 4 GB is much closer to the average cost/MB and for a professional card with the promise of high performance it appears to be quite a good buy (if you need that much capacity in one card).
Pretec 6 GB Lexar 40x 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II 1 GB IBM Microdrive 1 GB Once more the SanDisk Ultra II outperforms all other cards by a fairly significant margin, this probably is also connected to the fact that the 10D's CF controller is probably optimized for FAT rather than FAT32.

Short for Gigabyte, GB is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes, however the IEC defines a GB equal to 10
Therefore, a GB could be either of these values; many hard disk drive manufacturers and computer manufacturers will define what they consider a Gigabyte to equal in the fine print.
A Gb, or Gigabit, is different from a GB; see our Gigabit definition for additional information.

Gigabyte is often informally abbreviated to gig, as in "This is a three hundred gig hard drive".
Although most hard disk manufacturers' definition of GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes (however, computer memory has a natural inclination towards units that are powers of 2), most computer operating systems use the 1,073,741,824 byte definition.

 Exclusive Pretec 1.5 GB and 3.0 GB CF test: Digital Photography Review
The 1.5 GB can be used in almost any digital camera that supports CF Type II, the 3.0 GB requires a digital camera which supports FAT32 (in our case we tested it with Canon's EOS-1Ds).
Note that due to diffences between the way hard disk manufacturers label storage and computer operating systems the labelled capacity of these cards is slightly lower in reality (for more information see our Digital Film Comparison).
The 3.0 GB card offers huge capacity which is especially welcome for users of the new double-figure megapixel digital SLR's.
