Are solid state hard drives faster?

Why do you persist with these ludicrous claims about your abilities?

Surely you must realise that you convince nobody, except perhaps yourself.

You are absolutely right. It is those showers that are detected. The dual detector setup can be used for muons, an interesting subject by itself, as a muon should never make it to earth, let alone beneath the surface, because of its short lifetime But if you use relativity to calculate its lifetime it does make it. So with 2 detectors you should be able to detect muon speed. At least this is what I vaguely remember from my physics lessons.

Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress everyone with your lie^H^H^H alleged credentials. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

TIA.

Actually it is. Really!

This isn't all that intituitive initially, but that's par for the course with quantum physics. In college I took the "modern physics for engineers" class from the physics department, and the old professor up was there writing a mile per minute on the chalkboard going through this stuff, to a class of us engineers who were all quite new to the ideas presented therein. Apparently one guy near the front had his mouth a bit too agape, as at one point the professor turned to him and, "You don't believe a word I'm saying, do you?" :-)

There is even a finite probability that a bowling ball will tunnel through a mountain. ...and it is the same bowling ball on the other side, too. ;-) What do you expect from AlwaysWrong?

Yep, absolutely there is... it's just a rather disappointingly small chance. :-)

In this case I think it confirms what John Larkin has suspected -- he's likely a tech or similar without a formal engineering background. (Of course, some techs are quite useful -- more useful than some engineers, judging from the stories, e.g., Mike Terrel relates. But this doesn't appear to be the case in AlwaysWrong's situation...)

Check out the newegg reviews and even the OCZ forums for complaints. I'm still convinced Intel is the way to go until I see glowing reports from another vendor. I've only run mine two months, so I can't say yeah or nay yet. Thus far, no issues.

I think these reviewers spend way too much time on speed benchmarking. SSD is clearly so much faster than a hard drive that who cares about speed. It is longevity that matters.

Sorry punk, but your IQ has to be above 10 for you to begin to have a grasp of what is being stated here.

You'll never make it.

A dumbfuck like you probably doesn't even own any drafting tools, and may even have trouble defining the term.

I was designing things when I was a kid, and stepped right on through to adulthood. You lose. Again.

Electrons do NOT "pass through" an insulator. NONE of the atoms the insulator is made from will release ANY electrons from their valence shell.

If a medium allows such an action, it does not qualify to be referred to as an insulator.

Drafting tools define an engineer? Sure, DimBulb.

Obviously not, since you have *no* idea what quantum tunneling is.

It exists at T0 on one side of the insulator and on the other at T0+delta, without going around it. What do you call it?

Wrong, as always, AlwaysWrong.

It is greater than zero. ...but I'm not betting on it. ;-)

Took you long enough. The rest of us have known it for at least a decade.

Hey! Wait a minute! I'm a tech, and I've had coworkers who were techs, and none of them is an asshole like AW. To me, he appears like a frustrated pimply faced pottymouthed kid who's just actively hostile.

Not meaning to interrupt this lovely nostalgic reminder of so many things that I disliked about junior high school, but tunnelling isn't a good illustration because the physics is so different from normal motion. Electrons are identical, so in a real device you can't say that it was Joe the electron on both sides of the tunnel barrier.

Mathematically you can normalize the wave function so as to guarantee that there's exactly one electron in the problem, but of course real devices have a lot of electrons whose wave functions we generally can't control.

Electrons are intrinsically indistinguishable, which leads to a lot of interesting physics. Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics both arise from elementary particles being indistinguishable, for instance, and so do exchange interactions.

We now return you to the sixth grade playground, already in progress. ;)

Yes, but do electrons (or holes) actually "move", or do they merely pop in and out of existence? (i.e., the appearance of motion) Are the orbital shells and valence electrons we learned so much about really just a big probability cloud?

I place Nymnal on the Aspergers end of the autistism spectrum.

Not all aspies have this huge anger/aggression issue but Nymnal and Green Xenon sure do.

Once the doctors have a major LABEL to apply to a patient, they commonly forget to investigate other problems which might be as bad or actually WORSE, like a huge PERSONALITY DISORDER.

They probably labeled him as aspies and then didn't notice schizophrenia, compulsive lies, anger and aggression or delusions of grandeur.

He's a regular Jared Loughner waiting to happen.

Electrons are things. Holes are the absence of things in an otherwise featureless sea of electrons. Photons are not things, they're properties of other things.

And electrons definitely move.
