  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Have you seen Star Trek Generations?

The nexus uses tri-lithium to stop the reaction in a star.

Has anyone tried using it for microprocessors? The reason I ask is the power and heat keep increasing on CPUs. They went from Si to GaAs.

The trouble is, to make microprocessor order of operations sublime, the microprocessor needs to be 43 bits. The D/A and A/D need to be mismatched, I think its 28 bit D/A and 26 bit A/D, but the 43 is the most important number. I forget how many levels of memory it implies. I think 7.

When they tried it for PC's they froze up. It was decided that
there were enough freeze-up opportunities. And not good for sequels either.

Tri-lithium as the semiconductor, not the conductor. Copper as the conductor.

You could use silver as the conductor, but I think it would be an unnecessary expense.

Silver is typically used as the thermal conductor in thermal paste.

So far I know tri-lithium does only exist in the star trek universe, a time far far away ;)
