[–] ScottWhigham 17y ago ↗ What weird writing:Blurr is four times less cheap than the comparable rotating disk appliance from Teradata. But then it is an astonishing eight times less slow. [–] learnalist 17y ago ↗ Im going to have to say your quoting that line a little out of context.When I first read the article, the time I got to "slow" I was wondering what I had just read. Yet the very next paragraph helps demystify the jargon.At that point, I realised the writer was playing with the jargon and hype but in a satirical way.
