   Fibre cables are used for guidance of torpedos as well, that's why torpedos are so sensitive to changes in course.
   
   Mad that it's used for drones.
   
   I'm sure you could easily use highly directional radio waves to avoid ECMs and that'd be a cleaner solution. But if it works it works.

   thats idiotic. all that means is theyre not susceptible to normal ECM. a light sneeze would snap the wire. and the drone is still not bullet proof
   
   a remember back in the day that optic fiber was $20 a foot.

   we'd walk thru 'cold' ranges where they launched wire guided missiles and we'd find the 'threads' all over the place. its like thick spider webs but is fairly strong. it cuts with a knife or scissors with zero problem. for shits and giggles we'd pull it as hard as possible to see how long of a piece we could get but it was always tangled up in grass or some other bullshit so we'd never get a piece that was very long.

   Originally posted by Ghost …The only reason people stopped using CDs is because it made more sense cost wise to just buy a 1TB external storage or SDcards or CLOUD STORAGE but the only reason people use any of those things is because CD's have always had sucky storage at some point in time.

   This is false.
   
   The reason flash memory was and is adopted (flash EMMC, NAND, etc) is due to the smaller package size, improved read/write speeds, and resistance to environmental degredation like optical disks are prone to (UV light, scratching, etc).
   
   Granted, if you store data on optical media and then store that optical media in pristine conditions, it theoretically could outlast the data saved on flash memory, but who actually does that? What consumer is burning data to discs and then storing those discs in a pitch black, vacuum sealed chamber with nitrogen gas pumping through it 24/7 and maintaining a constant temperature? No one.
   
   It makes more sense to use flash memory that has much faster read/write speeds over optical disc (with current consumer tech), smaller package size (no need for a dedicated 5.25" or external reader drive to read/write), has no mechanical moving parts to wear out over the years, doesn't require extensive, dedicated factories to manufacture the media and all the raw materials to make the discs (they can use already existing factories that make RAM dies), all of the environmental waste of unused/damaged/bad discs that build up, etc.
   
   Flash memory is the current tech and will be for the forseeable future.

   Yea...then when the computer shuts off the data is gone because there was no internal storage.

   I bought a pedometer to take with me to church.
   
   Turns out it measures distance not noncey priests.

    they can carry their camera phones to the front line they will have no problem carrying a spool of optical line.

    At only 400 MB/s data transfer rate, that'd take you awhile to write a petabyte of data. What they need is a data transfer system that "images" the entire set of data in a single write, like a photocopy process.

    photocopiers technically have a read/write speed comparable to the speed of light
    
    the only problem is taking that data and computerizing it will instantly bring that speed down to 0.1% as there is no way to transmit light into data at a 1:1 scale basis.... yet
