HoloLens... Mmmm-mm-mm ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

[Fungi]

OK, put that in the vernacular. Is this comparable to the Meta version?

[clamper1797]

28nm is pretty big nowadays ... I’ve worked on 16nm and 10nm
recently

I think when they get all the kinks out of it virtual reality is going to have an amazing future.

[Windflier]

What does ‘nm’ stand for?

[bigbob]

Porn

[Fungi]

You must be kidding. Nanometer, but you are being facetious.

[W.]

Yeah, it’ll reinvent the term ‘money shot’. Duck!

[upchuck]

nm = nanometer.

[The Cajun]

So what's going to be the “$” for this little wiz-bang unit?

[stevio]

Are you designer or layout?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

That wasn’t the kinks I was talking about but yeah.

[Pikachu_Dad]

nanometer... ten to the minus six meters.

[Jonty30]

nevermind.

[Jonty30]

I think it will be huge in education. The idea of being able to work on simulations until you get it right, before being allowed to do the real thing for the first time will be very beneficial.

[Windflier]

Never mind

[Windflier]

“nanometer”

That’s actually the term that popped into my head, but I’ve never heard of that unit of measure and didn’t want to assume.

Thanks.

[Jonty30]

Yes.

[Windflier]

“Nanometer, but you are being facetious.”

Not at all. I’ve never heard the term, but suspected that’s what it might be.

I don’t speak metric, as a general rule.
