Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
Is an SSD superior to flash memory, because i always thought they were the same.
SSDs can be replaced with larger SSDs. Before, the flash memory was soldered to the mobo.
Also "an" goes before words that begin with vowels, not consonants.
"an" may be used with "s," when the letter is used as a word. say it out loud, and i think you will find that it begins with a vowel sound. sucker.
Actually, in the pronunciation of "SSD", "S" is actually pronounced "es". Meaning that the word does actually begin with a vowel sound, if not a letter, so "an SSD" is correct. If you want to argue the point you can just ring the FBI and talk to an FBI agent about it.
Actually, Tony "the grammar Nazi"...maybe you need to break out your grammar book again... when an acronym begins with a vowel "sound" (S like 'ESS'), you use AN instead of A.
You may continue...
God, I love that all those comments happened so fast.
Wow, epic fail Tony. Stay in school please.
I read SSD as solid-state drive, so in my head it was "an solid...". If that clarifies anything, not that it matters to any of you since you've already made up your minds.
Tony, even your lame "explanation" doesn't qualify your "correction" as anything other than "wrong".
It's a shame when one encounters people such as yourself who are in such short supply of self-esteem that they can't ever admit when they're wrong, when they absolutely are.
Who cares what your was going on in your head? It's all about what you wrote, the fact that it was incorrect and the mean-spirited manner in which you wrote it.
Actually from what I have heard Eee's memory is kind of a compact flash card with a IDE interface. Don't know if that qualifies as SSD, but what I think the new version will have is a "pure" SSD solution, which will probably be faster (some SSDs can reach speeds higher than 100 mb/s) and more reliable.
@TONY: who appointed you the role GRAMMAR POLICE, this is a F***ing forum, not a book report.
kudos for getting it wrong too.
So I need to beg for forgiveness everytime I get something wrong? I wanted to explain why I wrote what I did, and I did so without being an ass about it. But it's okay for everyone else to be a dick.
No, you just need to lose the grammar nazi job.
