Hacking HELL YES :D

why put a rickroll spoiler in your post are you 12 years old or something?

See, on forums, people have these things called "signatures" or "sigs". Thought they may appear to be part of the actual post, they're actually set beforehand, and appear under every post the user makes.

On web forums, the rules are often less strict on how a signature block is formatted, as Web browsers typically are not operated within the same constraints as text interface applications. Users will typically use a "signature" text area in their given profile for input, which can then allow a user to turn off signatures. Depending on the board's capabilities, signatures may range from a simple line or two of text to an elaborately-constructed HTML piece. Images are often allowed as well, including dynamically updated images (standard size 300x100pixels), usually hosted remotely and modified by a server-side script.

Signatures are seen as an art form by many of their creators, and there are many websites centered around their creation and display. Most of these websites have competitions, battles and a signature of the week contest, where members submit their entries to have them featured on the main page.

Thank you very much Urza.


Also, I did not notice that my post is longer than a lot of people. Is there some problems with long posts?

pkprostudio For one why the F**k make a longer/wider post then everyone else and two why put a rickroll spoiler in your post are you 12 years old or something?

lol. it's not like you had to click on it

rickrolled biatch

Oh ok did not notice it as a sig but as you say Signatures are seen as an art form i am sure he can come up with something better then that.

You got Rickroll'd, get over it.

Sorry, but I can put anything there as long as it's appropriate, and I don't find the video inappropriate at all. In fact, I kinda like the song.

... I'm sure as cameras (a much MUCH smaller market than cellphones by the way) and the like continue to shrink in size, standard SD cards will be phased out in favor of micro SDs for their size, and at that point affordability.

To my knowledge in all of world history, no form of writable media, that is used as much as micro SD cards currently are, has failed to plummet in price.

Careful there Pigwooly... IMO there's a point of diminishing returns on continued minaturization of the consumer package. In many ways I think that microSD cards, as useful as they are, have already crossed the line. And here's my reasons why...

For use in general electronics, like digital cameras, where media swapping is common and form factor is stagnant, microSD's offer little or no advantage and in fact are disadvantagous. They're so small as to be a problem in keeping track of them!

People continue to ask why high end digital SLR's still use Compact Flash, an oversized behemouth by comparison to microSD. Because when you make your living with these things, you don't want to lose the media in your pocket or equipment case. If you drop it, you want to find it. Hell I nearly lost a microSD into my keyboard one day!

As long as the capacity of microSD cards increase, the capacity of the larger formats will increase at an equal pace, but at a lower cost and will usually remain at a higher capacity. For the same capacity, an SD format (SD or SDHC) will always be cheaper than the equivalent microSD.

I welcome the access to the larger capacities of microSDHC, but I'm not convinced that SD will go away that fast. And of course there's that bloody new MMCMobile abomination that's coming to muddy the waters. Dual voltage and another new form factor?? arrggghhh!

Where will it end?!?!?

P.S. -- I make my living enabling these advances in smaller, cheaper, faster electronics. These warnings that "Moore's Law" (which is really an observation and not a fundamental law, by the way... it was the leaders of the industry and the media chose to "make it law") coming to an end is not someone crying wolf. Be afraid, be very afraid...

Ok you got me there but i have been rickrolled so many times when i hear it it drives me loopy

Never gonna give you up.

I checked all the R4 sites, I don't see this news anywhere. Anyone have a link to it?

EDIT: nvm, it's this site's home page

You are wrong sir. DSLR's use CF because the higher models excell in speed over any flash card - simply because they are HDDs and not flash based media (this is only true for i believe >=8GB models). Also, they're PATA compatible, which allows them to be plugged in as a PC drive. Size has nothing to do with it (well it does, if they weren't so big the platters wouldn't fit).
Wikipedia has more info

 

[Trel]

So, you're saying that CF cards over 8gb are not flash at all.
I think you need to get your fact straight. CF is flash media (for ALL sizes)

 

[Javacat]

Movi is thinking of Microdrives which are the same size as CF carts and use the same interface and as such can be used instead of them. I think that they are currently only available up to 8GB although much larger sizes will be available soon.

I'm not particularly excited about SDHC support, since it will be a long time until they will be affordable and required. What makes the update a must for me is PBR connectivity.

 

[amptor]

So any R4 can use the SDHC or does it have to be the new one that lacks the spring? I would've jumped on the new one on dealx if it still had the spring.. just as a spare.

 

[KarmaUK]

You might want to save the celebrations until it's released.

 

[zeppo]

I don't really get how it'll work...

If the r4 can't read sdhc, how will it read the sdhc card to read the firmware to even KNOW how to read sdhc cards?! It doesn't make much sense...

sorry for double post. just noticed this.
um, what?! you can get 8G ones for like 40 bucks at fry's!
