OT: In 15 years, hard drives will seem as quaint as reel-to-reel tape recorders

Not at all. Perhaps you should re-read the definition.

Your shit for brains skull obviously doesn't know a goddamned thing about optical cube storage.

Hell, these guys even stored data on a roll of shipping tape and scanned it.

You need to do some catching up, Chuck.

NAND flash is SLOW read, and SLOW write.

Got clue?

They would have been fine had they come up with a PROPER way of keeping the inner hub from getting wound taut. That was their only demise. And the size and convenience of cassettes. *-tracks were cool cause one could almost get to any place in the album fairly fast.

You should refrain from being a top posting retard, no matter how smart you think you are or how much you MAY contribute to a forum.

Nope, not all firmware is an OS. And OS is more than JUST firmware.

Hard drives have firmware, they dont have an OS.

Fraid so.

You in spades.

Wrong again. Many hard drives had OSes that booted INSIDE the drive, and reads and writes were managed by it independent of the OS on the host machine that the hard drive was powered under, and interfaced to. It was quite common to many SCSI and nearly all ESDI drives. The same thing takes place today (cylinder, head, and sector translation), but on a much smaller integrated scale. There is twenty times the hardware on today's HDs than yesteryears. It simply all fits on less chips these days.

Refrigerators have OSes, Washers and dryers have OSes, my HD DVD player has an OS, and my Pioneer Elite Stereo has an OS.

You have a flawed operating system in operation in you.

Kick yourself in the ass and reboot. Maybe then your flawed logic might get channeled elsewhere in your life.

The world isn't the same as when the term was coined. Now, entire microcomputers fit in a friggin PSP. Since it is all in hardware, you gonna tell me that isn't an OS too?

I push buttons, and get controlled responses. No different than a simple calculator. The underlying core logic is an OS, whether you like it or not. Just because it got "designed in" hardware as opposed to something that gets loaded, or is updatable does't change the fact that it fits the requisite parameters of the definition of the term.

Try again.

Nope.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

Yep, firmware aint an OS.

Thats just as true of mechanical calculators too, still no OS.

They dont have an OS either.

Nope, its underlying logic.

Using that terminally silly line, a 7400 has an OS. Fraid not, its just got some transistors.

You clearly wouldnt know what an OS was if it bit you on your lard arse.

Go and f*ck yourself, again.
