Nahh, I don't know nothin bout all this here compooter nonsense. But you might be right. In 1914 an airplane could only go about 100 miles an hour. In 1964 an airplane could go 1200 miles an hour. I can't wait until 2014 when we'll have airplanes that go 14400 miles an hour! It'll almost make the four hour wait to be strip searched worthwhile. And look at the way CPU speeds have doubled every six months since 1995. They'll never have to bother with finding ways to build multiple cores on a single chip to improve throughput as long as they can keep cranking the clock speeds. When the chips get real small they can just put little teeny tesseracts on the things to get around silly stuff like gate leakage. And I really can't wait for the flying cars. They don't have limits to available technology on your planet, huh? Just wiggle their noses and make a giant bunny rabbit for Tabitha?

Sure Bill, you're right and the rest of the world's wrong. >You seem to > believe that SSD (solid state drive) and flash drive are different. > They actually are not.

[snip more ranting] > But I guess you were not smart enough to figure that all out and thus adds > to your confusion. <sigh> Another insult Bill? You were so worked up about this that you felt compelled to write a second insult-filled post replying to your first one 30 minutes later. Here in New Zealand we have a term for that taken from the game of rugby, we call it 'playing the man instead of the ball'. The Romans called it 'argumentum ad hominem'. It's typical of a zealot or of someone who knows that they're wrong so attacks the person rather than (or in addition to) the subject in frustration or to try to deflect attention from their weak argument. Seriously, you need to chill Bill. You'll have a coronary with all this foaming at the mouth. Still foaming after 30 minutes so you had to post again? It's a worry. You know the definition of psychosis? Thinking that you're right and the rest of the world is wrong. Don't take this the wrong way, it's not meant as an insult but perhaps you should see a psychiatrist? Your posts here point to Obssesive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as well. Be healthy, -- Shaun.

In Bill's world. Actually it is just the opposite. I seriously doubt you will find any TV tech, electronic engineer, website, etc. that would disagree with me about color CRTs of having pixels. And I wouldn't personally trust anybody who says otherwise. As they clearly don't know what they are talking about. As this is just plain basic CRT knowledge. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 702G4 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Xandros Linux (build 2007-10-19 13:03)

Are they also LCDs? The answer isn't "yes, they all have dots!". The answer is that CRT pixels are composed of phosphors stimulated by a varying electron beam. LCD pixels are composed of arrays of transistors that are individually addressed to create images. A CRT monitor can scale down to any resolution by adjusting the electron beam. An LCD monitor can scale down ONLY by using fewer pixels than the whole array (the "small picture in black border" method) or by blending adjacent pixels so that the array effectively uses fewer of them. Both seriously degrade the user experience... There's no such thing as a multisync LCD. At least not on the planet Earth. >2) How flash SSD and flash drives are not really the same thing. A Solid state storage device meant to be used as the primary storage for a computer (as opposed to a device meant to be used as a sort of very large floppy disc) has a lot of (expensive) extra spare capacity built in (to allow bad block mapping) and complicated firmware programming (to work around cell death and slow write speeds). What you're saying is equivalent to claiming that you could pull a horse trailer with your golf cart because it has four wheels and a motor just like my Dodge Ram and so your golf cart MUST be a pickup truck. |
