English Thread!!!

mhmh.. right maybe a couple of batteries, works good.
i think in south america it's the same volts, im sure that 99.9% is the same level of voltage.
 
Hi friends, I have a question for you
¿How can I translate "throughput"?, it's a particular word used in computer networks, but I have not found a specific meaning
 
Throughput,
I use this term to refer to an amount that can be actually passed through, or put through a link. It is not a measurement like bandwidth but refers to the actual amount transported on a link. Be it a PCB bus or a network cable.

Does that help elucidate the concept?

If you want some pupose to this then I will give you one.

Where are you based ?

(here is your technical question)

What is the power like there? here it is 220 ~ 240 volt @ 50 - 60 Hz gengally 10amps per circuit with a max load of 2.4 kw. Is it similar there?

I am looking to buy a cheap camera to take on holidays and am wondering if a rechargable camera is a bad idea.

Most of the south american countries use 110v @ 60Hz except Brasil, Chile and Argentina (as far as I remember). Anyway, most of the chargers for electronic devices nowdays work with 110 and 220. I myself have a rechargable camera (Canon) and it works everywere and the camara is already 3 years old. Just check the charger of the camara before buying. You will have problems with the connectors but you can buy adapters. In Colombia we use the 2 plain pararel connectors (USA).
 
Some people say this forum have no practical porpouses. Well, maybe I can help to change that whit this copy-paste:

Thank you very much Mr Enempe, I really was thinking that Throughput was refering to some network performance or availibity even processing capacity of LAN/WAN link.

Moreover. ¿Have you ever known something about IEEE 802.11n standard? or WI - MAX, it's new term applied to wireless networks
 
well what a sorprise!!.... thats is great we should increase our writing.. i am in Bogota.. very Happy.. working like a donkey but happy...
 
I guess that we can talk about anything, but nothing like a forum... it's only for learning english, something that I need because I understand the language reading, but if someone talk me, I don't understand nothing...
 
to write in english is a good way to improve your skills about this language.

With this we don't gonna kill anybody sonic.
 
well, then let's start with this topic:

What's the best performance computer you ever owned of worked at?.

I worked five minutes with a computer used by MIT for 3D eartquake simulations at the CE Faculty. It was as large as a 10m by 10m room... What was I doing there? well, I was checking my email because I couldnt remember the room for the conference...;)
 
Oh my god, I thought this forum was closed or deleted. But i'm glad to see it again.

Well, My friends recently bought a new computer, Pentium 4 3.2 ghz with 1024 mb of RAM. Technically this computer is a monster but I've noticed that the performance is just OK.
 
yep it's a very good idea to improve our foreing language, i believe my problem isn't speaking, reading or understandig, my big problem is writing, so please excuse my mistakes.

and i agree with many people about having an specific topic or subject.
 
Well, Hi everybody.
I´m Edd, I'm twety two years old. I'm From Santa Marta, the America's Pearl or the most beauty bay in America.
I Study Systems Engineering In the University of Magdalena, and I'm in the Tenth Semester.

All the english than I know was learned in my high School (as you can see) and by my own. I was convinced than i was in a good level of english, but I realized than that was False.
I don't have aspirations to follow the studies of english, because in everywhere only teach english of the United States. This is a very vicious english (grammarly speaking) and besides I hate the United States. Now, I want to learn some other languages like Deustch, French or Japanese, since my desire is to travel to another countries differents from what most people desire (like Canada, Australia, Germany, or Japan).

Thanks to everybody and correct me if I write something wrong

Maybe your mother board sux :evo:
Maybe your hard disk is slow :muerto:

Please, send us more info about your PC, to have a better idea of the situation.
 
Hey Hey, it isn't my PC, it's my friend's PC

Motherboard: Intel, This motherboard rulz!!

Hard Disk: SATA.

I'm not saying that the performance is bad, it's OK but very similar to my P4 with 2.4 ghz and 512 of ram. I thought that I would see a big difference but I was wrong.
