Buffy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Not much, just that a blog is single threaded and single core, and Hypography is multi-threaded and massively parallel (although some of those processors are not working on a full cache). Neumannically,Buffy Quote
InfiniteNow Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 Thanks... since it was you who inspired my question. My cousin, rather more unfamiliar with the internet than most, keeps asking me what we're talking about on that "blog." I find myself defending that it's a forum, not a blog, without truly recognizing the distinction between the two. It really hampers my ability to make my point. :naughty: Quote
InfiniteNow Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 And I think the lack of cache seems to be more prevelant in the creationism and ID threads... :naughty: Quote
Turtle Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 And I think the lack of cache seems to be more prevelant in the creationism and ID threads... :naughty: The lack of cache is wider spread than that my acquaintence;) ; but with parallel processing it's width that counts more than depth. To the question of difference with the forum/blog, it is the interactivity that sets them apart. No one is expected to do more than read a blog; everyone is encouraged to do more than read the forum. The forum rules also determine a significant difference from a blog....Coffees' done...:cat: Quote
Queso Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 The forum rules also determine a significant difference from a blog....Coffees' done...:shrug: :cup: Yeah I can't lash out like I do sometimes. But It's tought me to be patient thru text.I've learned how to speak a little bit more thorough. I know it may not seem like it, but I've truly learned so much the past year I've spent on this forum. Blog's don't interact with your opinions and hunt for universal truths.They're just there to read. Quote
Jay-qu Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 ditto about the learning! I find so long as you keep an open mind, learning is unavoidable! Quote
Racoon Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I find so long as you keep an open mind, learning is unavoidable! That was an excellent sentence Jay-Qu Dude! :cup: Blog - thats a funny word :shrug: Quote
InfiniteNow Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 Blog - thats a funny word :DPuts "master of the obvious" cap on... It's short for "Web log." Takes cap back off. ;) Quote
Jay-qu Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 lol over here we call it 'captian obvious' but I would not say its that obvious, we at least not any more! Blogs are no longer a log of what people do day to day or method to carry out some idea that they have blogged on (I have seen some weird ones) they are now used widely to express opinion and also in the scientific world eg hypography has a blog! and it will be becoming more active very soon!

Racoon Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 It's short for "Web log." yes Sherlock. ;) I knew the origin. I just still think its a funny word by the way it sounds... like "Glue" and others... Quote
