It is amazing. Every single thread that he starts is something ridiculous. It is like s kid who has no idea how computers work or what they would be used for.

Might as well be us!

As far as I know, SD and SSD are the same technology but implemented differently. Basically the same though. SD uses the USB bus. SSD uses SATA, SAS or direct over PCIe.

So I'm having an interesting conversation with someone, being told I'm wrong and such, that SSD offers superior write speeds over SD, even the HC 10 type.

I guess I'm a little ignorant then, because I thought flash memory was the same technologically, but had different use cases. If anyone has some info that they would like to point me to I'm going to do some reading and research on the topic, and possibly write something up.

here's an article that sort of sparked it:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3053/~/the-differences-between-an-ssd-and-a-memory-card

I guess a major difference would be the controller, that SSDs have chipsets on them and use SATA as opposed to SDHC/SDXC cards that use readers, internal or external. To me, being dependent on a reader, as SD cards are, is the bottleneck. SSDs use SATA connections, and mostly SATA III. That's one major difference I can think of.

Lets take this out a little further. You have an IP camera that has a built in SD card interface. Is it faster to write to a quality SD card locally on the IP camera or is it faster to send it over the network to a NVR that has an SSD? I would think local storage would win out. Am I thinking of this incorrectly?

Seems like that is a comparison of network versus local not SD versus SSD.

I always found the XBMC name to be really confusing. It stands for XBox but XBMC isn't used on an XBox, normally. It's not even Windows based or a Microsoft product.

What does it do?

That was really impressive.

Win! I found a site that has the .exe of the original Minesweeper! WOOHOO!

Uh... how, um, exciting for you?

Makes sense. Peering is fine, it is throttling that is the problem - forcing new peer agreements when existing peer agreements are already in place.

That is a LOT of writing!!

It is very handy. I am never sure how to tell which person it is that is supposed to be doing it and often wonder if maybe it is keyboard activity but not necessarily about to show up in the thread as often it does not seem to do so.

Okay now that is super neat. I just watched that for like ten minutes!

Nice, what are you planning to use it for?

It is awfully suspicious that it is always Russia getting them, isn't it?

Hot often that you hear of the House of Lords doing something actually smart.

Uh oh, Joy. AJ just woke up. You had better get posting!

Thanks. I saw that thread going on over on SW that must have prompted this. Looks like something that was needed.

Let me know how it works. I have not used that one before.

I think for the majority of people today, at least at home, just surf the web. Not many applications being installed for average users. Chromebooks are ideal for them. Very low cost, low power consumption, very easy to use and no extra worries about antivirus, updates, getting ripped off by Geek Squad, etc.

Get posting Joy! We have faith in you.
