AGM R&D: The Super Computer
The super computer. It is a cube abouit twenty feet wide and thirty feet high in the top security military base on Azguard. There it is linked to every system, every computer, every ship owned by the Azguards. It is the hub of their computer power. If the computer networks were a world, this would be their capital.But of course, many factions use powerful computers to control their ownings. This is its PUBLIC use. What it is is a gateway for the simple Azguard mind.
Azguards are brilliant, in a stupid sort of way. They can calculate, think, build, feel emotion, etc, but are also very dumb in logic and hunches and, especially, abstract concepts.
The computer is another thing that takes mastering for them. The abstract principles that one thinks of when designing and using computers, is way beyond their minds. This is their answer, a way to link the Azguards to the computers in a way they understand.
The process involves placing on a helmet, being placed in a large white room bellow the computer, and entering a near-perfect "translation of the computer world". It cuts down ideas and concepts and explains them to azguards in a way they understand, like e-mail actually being letters, and encryption being a large stone wall or even a labyrinth blocking and area.
The computer also observes closely the actions of the azguard, and translates it into computer terms. If he tries to climb the wall, he is breaking the encryption. If he has softwear to simplify the code breaking, maybe there is a rope and grapling hook next to the wall.
Unfortunatly, this also carries risks. Not all situationss are safe, such as encountering computer viruses. If the computer dies, the electrical backlash when the signal to the helmet breaks could easily be fatal.
Even with this risk, Regrad, lord of Azguard (me) saw the value of this, and sent TARGET (his explorations league) on a mission of 'exploration' througout the galaxy. But that wasn't all they were doing. The have standing orders to plant a gateway bug onto any computer theyu can. The bug is implated by removing the covering on a wire and replacing it with Azguard-wire-fiber whose insides are laced with a special type of energy-imprinted message, modifying the computer and sending a "Gate" to the main computer.
This has expanded their computer world, and with this teachnology, with no equal or comparative, the Azguards one day wish to rule the galactic computers, knowing that with those in their power there could be no more wars, and only peace throughout the galaxy because no ships or computers would do anything contrary to the Azguards' opinions of ethics and rights of the individual.

Yeah.
#42 3:02pm 27/07/03
er... so is it approved?

Sure.

Ok, Kas is right in his earlier definition, the holo-deck cross super computer. Its' basically that, a powerful computer that allows even an idiot to hack into programs and computers by the computer explaining it from abstract letters and numbers into understandable shapes and actions.
If the computer were faced with an unidentifiable program it would appear as some sort of shade, because if the computer cannot understand it it cannot be translated.
And Kas, I'll accept the thing about dropping the hacking, but I would like to ask if it could be used to recieve stolen data if someone had already hacked it and was sending the data through some sort of long-range device?

But on a more technical level, what would happen to the computer were it faced with a program it could not identify. Would it just come up as a wierd shadow or would it not come up at all?

I gather it is simply a "matrix" like computer. The Azuguard pops the helmet on, and sees a "real" world. He walks around, the computer translates that into attempting to enter a program... Climb a wall, he's trying to get around security...
Interesting concept.

holotechnology Beff
Star Trek has developed repulsor feilds and realistic motions, computer personalities, stabilized holoenviros
Star Wars has a computer which copies your image blue

Not entirely true. On some fronts, yes... while on others, this is not the case. In example, the Hyperdrive Motivator versus the Warp Engine.
As for the R&D, I'm not sure I understand the idea. I'll keep checking.

actually seems more like H2G2's Vong computer

I made a comparision. It's not a holo-deck, though it seems to simulate the real world through a computer interface.
#33 11:32pm 11/07/03
I know I said I wouldnt touch this but...
No Holo-deck
thats star trek tech, not Star Wars
Star Wars holotechnology is decidedly weaker than Star Trek....

Ok, since the mods don’t seem to want to touch this, I’ll push it through.
For this to be approved…
1 – No hacking into hundreds of enemy ship computers at once, broadcasting pirate signals into the matrix, stealing buttered toast, or swiping owner’s manuals and pocket lint.
2 – Drop the bugging enemy computer thing; it’s not quite correct. Your bug would have to be capable of holo-net transmissions to communicate with you, and that would be detectable, along with add a few meters to the size of your “bug”. If you insist upon keeping it, you will be required to RP out every bug planting.
3 – I’m assuming this is simply a glorified computer crossed with a holo-deck, dummed down for simple-minded people, and will be used as such, correct?

Bump

as Im currently fighting against you and have seen it in action, which I am against, Im going to rule myself out of this. Cant approve or disapprove.

If we had enough time then yes we could move it. But it would take at least an hour to detach it and get it out of the installation.
If it went down, then we would lose contact and files on all ships. But we could pass it onto backup computers later.
