Anyone wanna help me with homework really quick?

its a common misconception that (some people not all) still think CD is better than cartridge, as flash memory has moved far beyond the realms of a capacity of a CD. (although expense might still have a similar ratio)

I hope all the next consoles will be cartridge over CD/DVD/Bluray.. could well be just solid state drives in them.. and maybe not even physical medium any more for actual games. and just downloads direct to the storage medium inside the console..
where will it all go!?

You have to think about production costs, flash memory is way more expensive to make than a disc, so non-portables will never go back to carts.

 

I have thought about it.. to us as a consumer (as that is who they would charge) . Each game; if they did it right should only be an extra £1 £3 max per game.. don't forget, like I said the realms of flash memory has come leaps and bounds in size and price as it was back in the day; then maybe I'm wrong and your right? it could still be WAY more expensive that my guess; BUT I am only going by the price of USB sticks/SD cards and price of handheld gamecarts compared to size of data on it and size of them from what they were 10 years ago to now. So going back to Disc medium to cart.. true it is still more expensive.. but I am just guessing the ratio isn't as bad as it was. I for one would much rather pay an extra couple of quid to play a game from solid state.. But on the same token, like I said if they install the game on the Drive of the new machines it may even be cheaper to play on solid state than to buy a physical game.

 

oh my heavens... i have seen the future! and i'm a tad bit frightened...

 

Did anybody here see Make Bradford British? They ran the British Citizenship on it and less than 15 people out of 120 or so got it right. The questions were ridiculously difficult though, not something you'd know on the fly at all.

I got 96%... although some were random answers...

 

I could swear this question is wrong.

Question 16 of 24
Which of the following statements is correct?

tl;dr information immediately available
information kept secret for 100 years.

The Census is taken every ten years and then the info is revealed a year or so later.

 

The general results are available (as councils need this to plan) but the data is only released after 100 years, hence the excitment on the ancestory websites when the 1901 and 1911 censuses were released.

 

1)Depends on how fast a light year takes to travel. Warp? Starburst? Hyperdrive? Though the terminology would still be incorrect.
2)Depends on how you define all of the above and what philosophy you put stock into.

</making this more complicated than was necessary>

 

lol, I like this. I actually raised my hand in class and said to the profesor (while we were discussing light speed and light years), "So... in Star Wars, hyper speed must be, like, exponentially faster than light speed. Cuz they're just flying around the galaxy like it's nothing."

 

Uhhh, you know how long a mile takes to travel (approximately), but nobody says "It will take me miles to finish my history paper."

 

If someone asks "When will you arrive?" it is perfectly fine imho to answer "I'm still 3 miles away".

In the spirit of the thread, I still need to lose 2 hours of weight! ^^

 

Reminds me of the "California on" videos, especially this one:




Skip to 1:30

 

Working on an assumed speed you could use miles to estimate a time frame but for the English language it is clearly the backwards way of doing things since one is finite and the other is variable. The equivalent could be the assumption that 1cc of water is excatly 1gm as well but you will notice the caveat given that this is at a certain atmospheric pressure at a certain temperature. You see physics problems going about the same thing when it comes to drag from an object traveling through the air.

The difference being the average person has copious amounts of experience with time and distance by the age of 10 and has figured out that telling someone you've got 12 miles to go before you reach Grandma's house is all but useless when it comes to letting anyone know when to place an order for pizza. However if you know the area well enough, the route being traveled, and what traffic conditions are usually like that time of day/week you can estimate how long it will be before they arrive as the person stuck in traffic really has no idea how much longer it will take. Not that Grandma does either but she might have a damn better guess than I would.

The short answer is no, the terminology is wrong and doesn't define time but rather distance. However it can still be fleshed out because the question was if the statement was reasonable or unreasonable. Since it was technically both and neither a fleshed out answer is required to define why it is both and neither. Then you rub it in the face of the person issuing the question by rewriting the question to give the desired results.

Must've been in Santa Monica judging by all the bleached blondes and steroid juicers. I can see why they had no idea who Nelson Mandela is.
