No half-written byte? Of course there are. All the time. There are

circuit board translates to a nanosecond of transit time, and at GB

this is meaningful.


Everything you are describing is analog. In digital systems that use
binary
numbers (the majority of electronic systems), everything is either one or
zero. There is no half-one/half-zero. There are no intermediate values.
That
is the nature of digital systems.


It all went right over the top of you head, didn't it?

Your knowledge of things digital is just as superficial as everything else
you claim to know about.

If you were interviewing job applicants, too many like him could drive you
