I could explain it in terms of the binary coding, with the different sizes of memory like bits and bits, and then go on to explain how it interacts with the rest of the system. Basically the whole "how a computer works" tutorial 😛 .

it's actually quite simple.

all your computer does is read and compute code. it reads bits, or just 1's and 0's, a byte is a 8 bits, or one piece of information. so 8 bytes could be a letter, number, etc.

so...

11011000 = 1 byte

so you think... an average hard drive holds 100 gigabytes, that's 100 billion bytes. or 100 billion pieces of information. so basically, that's how your computer "computes" it's complicated, but very simple once you understand it.

Yeah, it seems pretty crazy so far 😛

Its meant to be. 😉

so K, has the skull altered ur mind? My heads been quiet intact for a while now....😛

I was thinking more along the lines of the physics of a CPU, and the passage of the data throughout the whole system. But that works too ^^ .

well fine, misses know it all :tounge:

oh, but i get your point, you wanted the "hardware" aspect of it, i stated the "software" aspect of it...

you say tomatoe, i say potatoe.... or whatever.

 

[Sockstickler]

Computers. Can't live with them and you just can't shoot them 😛

 

[LonelyKimiko]

I have a friend who has a bit of a temper problem sometimes. He got so annoyed at his computer that he picked it up off his desk, took it outside and threw it at a wall >.< .

 

[Sockstickler]

You're kidding. He actually threw it against a wall?! I can't say I haven't wanted to do that, though I'd have thrown it out the nearest second story window 😛

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Well, all people saw was a Kimiko shaped blur and suddenly all the intact RAM was gone ^^ .

 

[Sockstickler]

Lol That would suck. Hey, I listened to the music you put up on the other thread. If you came by here or something, I'd be glad to have you play guitar in my band 🙂

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Coolness ^^ . I'm saving up to get myself a proper acoustic guitar , so I dont have to keep borrowing my friends...

 

[Sockstickler]

When you get one, have you ever thought about putting out your own CD?

 

[LonelyKimiko]

It wasnt that good, that clip was just me making stuff up as I go. I've got to try and write some proper stuff, but all my songs are sad ones...

 

[Sockstickler]

Well, your flowing sounded pretty good, so I think there is a lot of potential there. Would I be right in guessing things haven't always gone smoothly for you in life?

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Possibly not the way you want to go there, cause its something I would end up talking about for hours....

 

[Sockstickler]

Well if you'd want to talk about it, I've got the time to listen. I've got no problem with that. If not though, that works too.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Best to say, though I'm gothy and probably prone to say it anyway, I dont think that my life has been so good, and thats an inspiration on my music...

 

[Sockstickler]

Oh ok. I can understand that. At least you are able to express it in your music. Life's funny like that. I know my songs tend to be a bunch of cheesy ballads. Some about love that works, and some about ones that don't.

 

[Hungarian21]

U know kimi, the fact that I missed 1 day of coming on has sure brought u closer to dominating my post count....good luck! 😉 I'm gonna be busy tomorrow, might not make it again. :sad:

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Mahahaha! I'll beat you and your measly 11.09 posts a day! 😛 .

 

[Sockstickler]

I predict by the end of this weekend, Kimiko's going to have you beat Hungarian 😎

 

[LonelyKimiko]

The funniest thing, He's only helping me out. I'm replying to the threads he's going through at the minute, and I'm about 20 seconds behind him hehe.

 

[Sockstickler]

And you're closing the gap each post!

 

[Hungarian21]

Glad I'm helping! 😀 Thing is, I enjoyed watching my post count rise, but after reaching 2000, I just somehow lost my...mojo. XD Or, it might be college....that shit's getting hard. 😛 Anyway, seeing it makes Kimi happy, I shall loose my post lead with dignity! :tounge:
