real amiga vs winuae

[GadgetMaster]

He hasn't won yet! There is a delay between flipping the switch and getting the result. I have such an arrangement in my apartment. We're going to have to measure the length of the wire runs to get to the bottom of this.

Whats if you have one of them fancy wireless remote switches? :banana:

It's not about settle time of the circuit... Boot time only really needs to account for the time taken to reset, and be ready to accept user input... Karlos's Example has the fastest boot time...

Ah! to sort of get the thread back on topic, if a light switch simulation was written, which would be better? The real light switch array or the virtual one running on a blazingly fast computer?

@Gadget

You probably get more light out of your actual lighting system than you do your display, so in this case I suspect the traditional hardware wins. Although, there's probably less effort required to turn your virual light on and whats more you can take it with you on a notebook PC to demo parties.

Having said that, hardware hits back with a new portable system called "the torch". One of the inputs is a trifle sticky in that it's the end of the tube where you put the battery cells in, but if you loosen it appropriately, you have your 2 input OR again

 But if you leave the batteries in for too long they leak and ruin a perfectly good motherb......torch....

..... uhm.. what was I talking about again..:confused:

Ok, I just thought of something. Something that beats it all. A piece of glass with uranium oxide diffused in it and check this, in outer space, with sunlight shining on it at all time. Blam, no startup time. Always on, for billions of years. It fluoresces as UV photons hit the uranium oxide molecules. Faster than the Amiga, PC, Mac, Ti calc and my pic18f. Never needs a reset. Top that.

That may be so, but getting it into orbit consumes way too much energy. It's all about green computing nowadays. :smack:

Well, unlike Shaun, at least he knows something about the actual hardware

Maybe Shaun decided to take up reading.

A wise man once said: "Arguing on the internet is like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still a retard". Very true.

You have problems with English language that's why you write bullcrap like above.

You use "bullcrap" a lot don't you? :confused:

[GadgetMaster]

That's a technical question.

:lol:

[GadgetMaster]

You are baised as well then.  You are one of those sick people who play pathological games on people by distorting their REP points by assuming YOU KNOW BETTER than them although you may be in more ignorance than the person you pass judgement on.  I don't give a crap about your REP bullcrap.

What are you talking about? Rep points dont exist anymore. Keep up will ya. :laughing:

@all Maybe everyone should just take a chill pill and drop the argument. It's not as if anyone is going to be swayed to either side so let's enjoy the new site and discuss things that mutually interest us without letting them get personal or acrimonious? :confused:

Guys you do know that there is an ignore feature on the site don't you? Just activate that if you don't like a particular users posts. End of problem.
