Actually, Xena, the Warrior Princess is a lesbian. The blonde chick who is her "companion" became her lover in latter episodes. Sorry to bust your wet dream bubbles boys.


:D That ruins absolutely *nothing* for me I have to say... In fact, it probably has the opposite effect! ;)

But Trever and his merry men build the hardware, it's up to us how we use it. The beauty of programmable hardware is it can basically do whatever you want it to within it's capability. It really started out with PLA or Programmable Logic Arrays to simulate chip designs before they are sent to manufacturing. So...what we do with his hardware is none of Trever's business. Okk...get your minds out of the gutter.


As Piru said, the design of the Xena isn't suited to traditional computing ideas like chipset emulation. It might be possible, but you'd be much better off with an FPGA on a PCI card. What it's really about is real-time I/O. I'm sure someone will come up with some interesting uses, but using it as a traditional co-processor isn't really gonna happen.
