"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Noo.... the logo with the red, USB 2.0 High Speed, is what has been known until now as USB 2.0. The older USB 1.1 will henceforth be known as USB 2.0 Full Speed.

Kazan, are you reading it right?

...products that were called USB 1.1 are now USB 2.0 Full Speed, according to the Implementers Forum. Products that run at USB 2.0's 480 Mbps, on the other hand, are called USB 2.0 High Speed. Full speed products use a slightly different logo that lacks a red bar with the words "high speed" in 2-point type.


It says right there that the old 1.1 will be called USB 2.0 Full Speed, and that the original USB 2.0 (which ran at 480mbps) will be called USB 2.0 High Speed, and will be marked with that logo with the red bar.

The newly-named 2.0 won't have it.

I still am not entirely sure I get it... ah well. This is why you not only assemble your own computer, but make your own components, too. Forget electricity, water-powered graphics cards are the 20-ton wave of the future!
Webpage. Yes.

It's a pronunciation thing - very hard to get across in writing. Basically though, normal people call actors "actors" without any stress on anything. Pretentiously arty actors, though, call themselves "act-ors"... :p

Does that make ANY sense? :)

Actually, yes it does, and since I am around people from all over the world here, it's even understandable.... to a degree. :D

color, Color, COLOR!

*ahem* You didn't see any missing "u"'s there, no-sir-ee! :p

Oh crap - I spent too much time looking at the word "color", and now it doesn't look right at all - more like a nonsense word. :doubt: :p
