NAND Flash Density Surpasses HDDs', But Price Is Still a Sticking Point (computerworld.com)

Lucas123 writes: With the introduction of 3D or stacked NAND flash memory, non-volatile memory has for the first time surpassed that of hard disk drives in density. This year, Micron revealed it had demonstrated areal densities in its laboratories of up to 2.77 terabits per square inch (Tbpsi) for its 3D NAND. That compares with the densest HDDs of about 1.3Tbpsi. While NAND flash may have surpassed hard drives in density, it doesn't mean the medium has reached price parity with HDDs — nor will it anytime soon. One roadblock to price parity is the cost of revamping existing or building new 3D NAND fabrication plant, which far exceeds that of hard drive manufacturing facilities, according to market research firm Coughlin Associates. HDD makers are also preparing to launch even denser products using technologies such as heat assisted magnetic recording.

    [Deu 22:25-30 KJV] 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter: 27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her. 28 If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. 30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.

    Fact is, you're making shit up to suit your own bigoted views. You skip the part where the rapist is sentenced to death. The second part is that if a man takes a woman, he has to stay married to her ... forever (no divorce permitted), and he has to take care of her. So yeah, nothing like what you claim. But you're a troll, and like most trolls are ignorant bigots.

    I never used the context of that word. Which makes your entire response a strawman. Which again is a bigoted response.

    Read the context of GEN 24, where the word is first used. It doesn't mean what you think it means. But of course, bigots don't care about truth.

    See also Gen 34:3

    I do read Hebrew by the way. :-)

    And I am not a Christian.

    Your assumptions are more evidence of your bigotry. As is your hiding behind AC status. You should go back an hide under the bridge, troll.
