ATA133 Controllers Have Arrived

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bigger-faster-nifty-kean dept.

Spot writes "If you're a hardware junkie, then you may already know ATA133 is on it's way to becoming the new standard for drive controllers. LittleWhiteDog has a very detailed look into the Promise Ultra133 TX2 Controller and Maxtor's D740X-6L ATA133 interface drive. " And I just bought a few 100g drives :) I still find it funny that every couple years I buy new hard drives always for around $200... 120 megs, 800 megs, 2.5G, 12G, 30G, 100G. I love this.

    Your post saddens me. I think you meant to type "You're gay." As it is, what about my gay? And for that matter, my gay what?

    Your post stands as further evidence of the dumbing down of the literate.

    That should be "you're", unless you are telling him that something is his that is called gay, as in "That's your gay".

    But what you are saying is "You Are Gay".

    As in "Hey, Genghis... I hear you take it up the ass. You're gay".

    sheesh... what happened to the quality of the trolls around here? Rejects from Geeknews.net?

    Boy, you surely took him down a notch or two! I'd like to make a few points, though:
    • You caught the misuse of then, but not the missing apostrophe in cant.
    • You omitted the period in your abbreviation of versus.
    • All five lines of your corrective post are sentence fragments; none are grammatically correct.
    • The Jello® trademark is a proper noun; it should be capitalized.
    Also, you didn't seem to notice that the original poster didn't even use punctuation in two out of three sentences. Obviously, it was a troll for anal grammarians. Based on your previous post, I'd say the trap has sprung, and caught us both.
