Det. Bart Lasiter Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 that advertisement is a broad generalization and i take offense to that sir
Hallucination Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 If I could copy cars you could damn well bet that I'd spend all my time in parking lots.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) We wouldn't, but 3D printers can't be far from allowing something like that. I'd totally download tons of torrents with Audi schematics.
jawathehutt Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I bet they'll have 2 player solitaire and minesweeper!
HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Well, most likely in the next few years, they will become much faster with large "flash" drives, such as the like the usb ones or in smartphones (with much more storge space, when prices come down). Compters will be able to boot up in, say, 30 seconds instead of a few minutes. browsing the the computer's files will be much quicker too, because its digital instead of a hard disk.
Darth Avlectus Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Compters will be able to boot up in, say, 30 seconds instead of a few minutes. No, because that would defeat the purpose of Microsoft. To make you wait and to make you pay for things. browsing the the computer's files will be much quicker too, because its digital instead of a hard disk. Solid state memory being common? Maybe. Stuff will still slow down over time though.
Lynk Former Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The solid state drives of the future won't be anything like the ones we have today.
Darth Avlectus Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Eh? How so? If you mean improved that's kind of obvious already. I suspect you mean different some other way.
Sabretooth Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 We wouldn't, but 3D be far from allowing something like that. I'd totally download tons of torrents with Audi schematics. 0.9% Download completed for ISS_schematics_2020_aXXo.rar.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 0.9% Download completed for ISS_schematics_2020_aXXo.rar. I missed some words back there but here's hoping cable optics internet connections are the bomb of 2020.
Lynk Former Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Eh? How so? If you mean improved that's kind of obvious already. I suspect you mean different some other way. Currently solid state drives degrade the more times data is written and rewritten onto them. That's why they're only really used on laptops and netbooks, expendable/replaceable portable devices and as OS drives for high-end PC's. After awhile they tend to slow down and the amount of space is effectively reduced because sectors that are written on most often can't be written on any more... it is getting better but that's the price you pay for the speed we all crave. I have a solid state drive as my OS drive on my PC but every time data is being written to it (which is constantly) it degrades. That's why I have multiple drives, 1 ssd, 4 hdd's (1 for games, 2 on a raid-1 setup and one for downloads and stuff that'll usually cause some major fragmentation on the other drives). Anyway, it'll have to be replaced after 3-4 years probably but the hard disk drives will last for much longer than that since I have three 1TB drives and a 500GB so I'm future proofed enough. Soooooooo... in the future solid state drives hopefully won't have these limitations and will be a billion times better than they are now.
iamyourdad Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 thanks what about the specs of the computers
Ray Jones Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer#Potential "That can be a very large speedup, reducing some problems from years to seconds."
