The title is a tad misleading. I just felt the flow of it. I was having a discussion about 'virtual memory' recently.
My last computer, a gateway, would always give me warnings about being low on 'virtual memory'. I would counter the box with the idea of; "It's virtual, meaning it doesn't really exist, therefore should be unlimited."
To no avail however. Wouldn't imagination fall into the virtual category? Does that mean ones imagination is limited? I chose the second definition offered by Websters on line.
generated by computer: simulated by a computer for reasons of economics, convenience, or performance.
That clears what up exactly? Not to sure. Okay, generated by computer. That makes sense. Simulated by? Well If it is simulated...am I just to dense to think this through at 4:20 in the morning.
If it is generated or simulated then it is not an actual thing. The hard drive is a thing. Something tangible. The memory chips inside the computer are tangible. This virtual memory seems intangible. Thus how can it be limited?
Our imaginations could never be considered limited. They are by very definition intangible. Ahh well. That's the thought that has kept with me to post an entry.
Should be bringing home my sister today. She was upset that no one called her at the hospital last night. Understandable. Usually my brother in laws job. Oh well. So a half day at work for me.
Going to make some meatloaf for dinner, exciting no? Alright I'm out.
-later
