Hey hey, post pics of the smallest ever pc's you've built / seen / bought, just ouf of interest. I'm thinking of playing with one of those matx motherboards...
Lemme guess, it calculates Pi to the ten tillionth decimal place PS - Just out of question, don't you Brits use a different... Uhhh... Numbering thingy... Not really sure how to explain it, but a billion over here is 1,000,000,000 and a billion over there is 1,000,000,000,000 or something really weird like that... I heard somewhere it was.
A million million would be 1,000,000,000,000. I consider one billion as a thousand million or 1,000,000,000. Anyway, sorry, very off topic
1million= 1'000'000 1billion= 1'000'000'000 1trillion= 1'000'000'000'000 etc in the UK a billion used to be 1'000'000'000'000 (ie 1t) [/ot]
Hi i'm new here, i'v been reading this forum for several weeks though. I just thought it might be interesting IPic - A Match Head Sized Web-Server this is the site that the picture of the tiny computer came off of. it is a pic microprocessor that is running the one of world's smallest webservers. edit : (one of the smallest in code size)
I also hear a galon is diff over in the mighty UK... and whats with this worlds smallest computer.. aren't the cores of most cpu's the size of a quarter? or are they talking full computers
in the UK a billion is 1 000 000 000 000 (million million) but the overexposure of american culture means our customs and traditions have gone the way of so many nations - americanisation (not 'ization' thanks very much). ANYWAY here - TIIIIIIIIIINY pc! The world’s smallest Web server is the size of a matchbox and has the power of a desktop PC. Within a few years, you may carry one in your pocket. (Meredith Curts/ABCNEWS.com) That thing rocks, n33d!
So 1 billion is 1,000,000,000,000. Is 1 million 1,000,000,000? In that case 1,000,000 would be a thousand? Sorry, its just a little confusing. That is a hella cool computer. It runs Win95 though... And it costs $1495! And you only get a 66Mhz 486 with 16MB of RAM. But still, a HDD the size of a quarter, thats tiny.
Google is the answer http://www.google.ca/search?q=a+million+times+a+million&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta= 100% answer to the old queston
Stay on topic please! Start a new thread US Billion vs UK Billion. Maybe I'll save you the pointless debate - Fact: In some countries what is called a 'billion' has an extra few '0's' than in other countries. So what? Thread hijackers will be exterminated with extreme Gnome prejudice Use your common sense and look at the original post - Madhatter mentions playing around with mATX. Might that then mean that he doesn't want pics of the pin-head-PC from the planet Zlarb? Might I then suggest posting pics of your 'normal' (but SFF) PCs if you have one? Y'know, the sort you post debates about numbers that hijack other's threads on?
