<JRWR> MY HARD DRIVE IS CRASHING ! QUICK CALL 911
<jord4385> =[
<DeatyPoo> now now don't make them increase our taxes with silly calls
<DeatyPoo> lol
<DeatyPoo> crap my boss is here i gotta work :(
<JRWR> HAHAH put this into IE
<JRWR> res://mshtml.dll/about.moz
<jord4385> Hard disks were invented in the 1950s. They started as large disks up to 20 inches in diameter holding just a few megabytes.
<jord4385> why do i find that to be un true.
<OvEr_LoAD> seems like it would be true to me
<Scorpius> why do you think it is untrue?
<Scorpius> actually it is a fact
<Scorpius> my first HDD was 5 1/4 and 10 MB of size
<Scorpius> and it was like $300
<Scorpius> and it was a Seagate
<jord4385> i guess
<jord4385> but the 50s were before IC's
<Scorpius> computers exists since WAY before 50s
<jord4385> indeed.
<Scorpius> don't confuse "computers" with "personal computers"
<jord4385> don't worrie, i wont1
<jord4385> !
<jord4385> how many descrete transistors would that be? 3 million?
<JRWR> jord4385: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_350
<JRWR> lol
<JRWR> that is the 1st HD ever
<jord4385> hrm
<jord4385> nice
<JRWR> The 350 stored 5 million characters (about 5 megabytes). It had fifty 24-inch diameter disks with 100 recording surfaces. Each surface had 100 tracks. The disks spun at 1200 RPM. Data transfer rate was 8,800 characters per second.
<jord4385> ok
<jord4385> im extremly wrong as usual
<jord4385> :)
<jord4385> I GET IT
<DeatyPoo> they invented lan in 1962 also :)
<Scorpius> oh you thought they were tiny? heh
<jord4385> no
<jord4385> well
<DeatyPoo> well you do know where the term bug comes from?
<jord4385> a moth was found in a IC somewhere in the 60s
<JRWR> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bug
<jord4385> actually i heard ben franklin really coined the term
<jord4385> oh it seems that was thomas edison
<JRWR> In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark II and Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book September 9th 1945. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitch's[sic] in a program a bug.
<jord4385> wow i can only hope one day i am as knowledgable as you neds
<jord4385> nerds
<jord4385> :)
<JRWR> hahah

<DeatyPoo> yah
<JRWR> but it would be cool as hell if it could
<DeatyPoo> but any kind of spy satellite would be cool
<DeatyPoo> sadly i'd have to launch my own
<DeatyPoo> and i'm short on rocket fuel
<JRWR> it would cost about 50 million
<JRWR> sending it up is the cheap part
<jord4385> i woonder if you could position it so it deflected off of the sun and burned a giant whole across america
<JRWR> thats only 10million
<JRWR> HAHAH

<Acidburn7> Hey my new t.v has a vga port on it, could i use this cable to conect it to my laptop and use it as the monitor? http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS82605069&catid=10445
<qayin> yes
<qayin> you can
<qayin> make sure you get the right male/female cable
<qayin> not like a male/male
<Acidburn7> ?
<Scorpius> yeah actually
<Scorpius> it must be exactly the same than the cable you currently use for your computer monitor
<qayin> but he has a laptop
<qayin> :P
<Acidburn7> ok
<Scorpius> well laptops need a male cable
<Scorpius> and the TV toO?
<Scorpius> too?
<Acidburn7> so would that one work>?
<Acidburn7> the port on my t.v is called "PC In (D-Sub)
<Acidburn7> and looks identicle to a vga
<Scorpius> yeah but it's male or female?
<Acidburn7> what dose that mean?
<Acidburn7> it had 15 pins?
<Scorpius> male are the one with pins and female the one with holes
<Scorpius> just like real world
<Scorpius> hehe
<Treval> so male-male is gay.
<Acidburn7> oh lol
<Treval> Much like current world.
<Treval> :O
<Scorpius> the laptop VGA port is female since it has holes
<Acidburn7> it has hole
<Scorpius> you need a male cable to "plug" it in
<Treval> And if the hole is deep the cable is an ***hole.
<Treval> lmaoplane
<Scorpius> well then you need a male-male cable then
<Acidburn7> are they hard to come by?
<skeelo> what is the native res of 19" crt
<Acidburn7> and will windows look nice on my t.v by connecting it vga??
