Radium invented trolling.
(Oh and he also invented questions with a maximum
stupidity content).

Trolling was around long before Radium. His ideas may be a waste of
time but he doesn't seem to be causing trouble on purpose. He also
doesn't interject into others peoples conversions. I have yet to see
him attempt to insult anyone.
Notice that the only people I "insulted" were those that insulted him,
and that was damned near everyone that responded to him.

Oh, and this is USENET. There are no "other people's conversations".

Nice try though, and thanks for not being yet another idiot on the
"lets beat up Radium" bandwagon, even though you do appear to be running
along side the "lets call Jack a troll" bandwagon.

Now I'm a little worried - does telling him, "build one and show us how
it's done - so far, everyone thinks it's impossible" constitute picking
on him?

Thanks,
Rich

Were I you, I wouldn't wouldn't give a thought to what DarkTard thinks.

Well, this PC I describe is as photonic [with lasers and no LEDs] as
practical. Maybe not purely-optical, but as laser-based as it can be
and still be efficient.

If we're going to bring efficiency and practicality into our
list of concerns...then how about "none" in terms of the
"photonics" content?
Yes. By the same token, let's say there are two laser-circuited chips
of the same capacity [let's say 4 GB]. Chip A uses 780nm lasers, while
chip B uses 400nm lasers. Chip B can be made smaller than chip A,
because B uses shorter wavelength, and hence can be use smaller
structures for the same amount of data.

Sorry, not the same thing. Your original interest in short-wavelength
light was based on a notion about the "bandwidth" (data rate)
available with, say, blue vs. red. If you are SOLELY concerned
about storage capacity, then the blue-light special MAY give you
greater capacity (or it may not - it would depend on the specific
storage mechanism and the limits imposed by other practical
concerns). The point is that comparing a CD to a Blu-Ray disc
may not be all that appropriate in terms of selecting your light for
a system like this, IF it were practical in the first place.

optical.

And now our friend Jack will work on his reading
comprehension, specifically the distinctions implied in
the phrases "purely optical system" vs. "segments of
optical network links."

How is photonics impractical and inefficient?
Yes. By the same token, let's say there are two laser-circuited chips

chip B uses 400nm lasers. Chip B can be made smaller than chip A,

I just like 400nm because it's the sweetspot between highest frequency
and non-ionizing radiation. Generally, shorter-wavelengths make for
faster computing. Also, a laser with a shorter wavelength might
require less thickness than a laser with a longer wavelength.

Moreover, the reason, I brought up photonics, is because it can
perform more operations per second and more complicated computations
rapidly without requiring fans.

If I want a fast system that does not rely much on ROM and at the same
time, does not need a cooling system, then photonics is one way to
solve [or at least mitigate] this problem.

See pretty much every response you've had in this thread
to date. Starting with the "impractical" aspect first, you
will, to create a "photonic" system such as you describe,
require the purely optical equivalent of the transistor. The
moment you can describe in detail how one of those would
work, please get back to us.

No shit? Who wudda ever thunk that optical networks would be
optical. Dimmy, you're the dumbest.

You obviously didn't read the thread. He was jumped on so hard that he
has tire tracks all over him.

Though there may not be any optical computers, there are certainly
optical nets, and things are moving toward less and less electronics and
more and more optical gear in network links., and yes, I meant ALL
optical.
