Mommy shat you in 1960? I find it amazing that you have been able to remain alive all these years. A reasonable person would have predicted that your nasty attitude towards people would eventually annoy someone's girlfriend, wife, or mother enough to result in your elimination by whatever means were available at that time. Perhaps you never speak about your education because mommy had to keep you out of the public schools to protect you - hence you were home-schooled and never got beyond the secondary school level. I'm sure that if you had a college degree you would have been boasting about being first in your class and having developed some incredible technological advance that the government took over and retained you as an SRD-class consultant. That's the bare minimum I'd expect from you Archie! We already know that you spend the majority of your miserable life at the keyboard posting caustic remarks on Usenet. You use over forty nyms and frequent many groups, but your attitude is consistent. Face it; there are no more worlds for you to conquer. It's time to off yourself in some wildly majestic manner. Go for it Archie.

Like I said before, you da' man Archie; you 'da man!

Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Spend a little time in England and see how they really should be pronounced.

Sorry, but you guys need to catch up with what the English language has evolved into as well. Hint: It ain't Brit mode English.

Nope. True CORE memory holds its state across power failures. And RAM memory may well come up in a random state.

An old joke punchline is appropriate for you here Archie. To wit:

Should have said: And SEMICONDUCTOR memory may well come up in a random state.

RAM is just a bit generic. :-)

Since you submitted a timely correction, we'll also overlook that "RAM memory" is a parallel construction to "PIN number", "TCP protocol" or "LED diode".

somewhat result of getting blamed for computering conferencing on the internal network ... a researcher was paid to sit in the back of my office and take notes on how I communicated; they also got copies of all my incoming & outgoing email as well as logs of all my instant messages. besides a corporate research report, it was also used for a stanford phd thesis (joint between language and computer ai), as well as some number of papers and books. misc. post posts related to computer mediated communication

OTOH transistor transistor logic actually makes sense, not all repetition is is wrong.

And most hardware initializes the ram to a known state (and on some it does it to start out with good ECC).

Some to all one's... some to all zeros, some to the address of the ram written to the ram as data.

Really? What state do you think it would be?

Back when I was more current on DRAM, half the bits would use 0V to represent 0 and half would use it to represent 1 to better balance power requirements.

While it is in "PullPower Cord" state, there will be no logic levels. If you apply a device to read them or re-energize the unit, you are no longer in "Pull Power Cord" state. My sess still sucs.

I have ECC RAM. It is not for correcting power outages, it is for correcting occasional bit errors, and only then below a certain number of them in any given instance, and with a threshold on how many in sequence can be off as well.

When the power is off, ECC RAM shuts off too. Even "good ECC RAM".

Any reasonable description of changing the state of memory has it still changed after the instruction is complete. If the data is back when you plug the cord back in, it wasn't zeroed. Of course.

If all were filled with (and being filled with) bytes, it would be random aggregation regardless.

Grasshopper?

Moreover some DRAM does this as well.

Then again, it may not, as some recent tests have shown.

I was discussing some common DRAM and as well as much CMOS SRAM.
