 Absic the gos Guru ... do you have a heads up of when "LightPipe" is projected to go live matie ?..... never factored in optic in the TARDIS board....silly me!

 quick discussion about it, ... Light is fast @ 186,000 Miles per second ,but electricity is slower right ? ... wrong!   ... same speed, ...what light (fibre optics) gives you is bandwidth..........Massive bandwidth!.........in fact light over fibre optic is slower then photons (electricity) on wire!......Why ?....because light slows down when going through things like water or glass, ... which is what fibre optic filament is made of.

       Well that a load of usless Blo**y trivia...............but it is pretty interesting ;)......Has anyone out there used the fibre optic ports I see occasionally on equipment.and what has been your experience ?

I use the fibre optic ports for audio connectivity on my TV/audio setup. and have found it easier to connect and get right. 5.1 Dolby Digital for example, works faultlessly.

I also do a lot of audio recording and have fibre optic connections in some of my synths and other audio equipment. Never experience4 the sound issues, such as drop outs, crackling, rumble, that you can get from the traditional connection methods.

No idea when lightpipe will be coming online but an article I read recently seems to point towards some time next year (2012). Maybe then I will have to switch to the dark side of computing unless AMD can adopt it in their systems.

 OBYAL Awaits your Arrival Luke!.... Interesting your experiences with faultless connectivity with no feedback with the signal or stuttering...

 Funny thing is, and this is on the quiet, I use to be an AMD man myself, unlocked processors had a huge advantage for people like us just after the Big Bang!..... can't really remember exactly when I kicked Darth in the shins and went over to Inhell, but to be honest, I've never looked back.

If I am honest the only reason I stick with AMD is down to cost.  :'(

Still, onwards and upwards a new chipset coming along and new processors in a couple of months...... who knows, maybe the force will be with us on this one!  :-\

Very interesting Allan but now you are getting into the realms of "Electron Theory" and if you known anything about that you will know that it is not the electrons that move at all but the "holes" that move in the opposite direction making it seem as if the electons are flowing. This is why at this level power actually flows from negative to positive the opposite way to most peoples thinking. 8)

Cool, I wondered when someone would bring up something interesting like that absic! That's what we need something to get our teeth into.

I think a quick visit to CERN is on the cards then. Must remember to take a bottle to put the anti-matter in. ;D

Just had a nasty thought....... and it is something I do not want to see...... EVER!

A motherboard that talks to you. Can you imagine, especially if they give it a female voice?
"What do you think you're doing? You can't stick that in there!"
"Now, have you REALLY read the User's Manual? You're not just saying you have, are you?"
"I don't like the colour!"
"Have you seen the dust in here? Stop playing around and do some proper cleaning!"
"You only love me because of my computing power."
"That's it, turn me on but you never finish properly."

and my favourite........
"My mother always said it wouldn't work out!"
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Absolutely horrifying! :o

And just think if they made "her" intelligent. That would be dangerous as well. :-\

As for MissDaisy, I have reason to believe that was a spam bot (check their signature)

Thanks cchaos. Definitely, I've cleaned her profile a bit, not to mention that you will miss her /it for at least 1 month - she / it is banned now  :)

Hi Aussie Allan

Thanks for this interesting thread
ZX-S & C64 are still my favourites ;-)

  I hope you can buy personality's too!........I'm calling mine "BENDER" ;D


    I just realized I take mine for granted , tow years ago I started using Dragon (no not the wife) naturally speaking in earnest.... for word docs and such, now I'm starting to use some of the more advanced functions like surfing the net, opening/closing docs,printing, ect......the real gem is you use your hands as well as voice to do a lot more with very little effort.

  Aussie Allan...........P.S Mother was not lost on me!........I can just imagine the notes coming home....

                                                                    Two of your little USBs got into the power-board and ate all the fuses again
                                                                     Sally laughed so hard she sparked her pants then shut down in the corner.
                                                                    If you want your Mother-in board to USB sit in the future
                                                                     I expect to see a firmware upgrade in there behaviour.

                                                                      Regards MotherBoard
