Don't think Rebol can take advantage of multiple cores

For threading, that is up to the OS.

I just finished fixing my lcd monitor. Once the condensor 16V 1000µF 
 changed by a brand new one  it works like on it first day  ^^

remplacing the condensor took me  30 seconds it was longer to find 
out how to open the lcd monitor box than doing the fixing operation 
^^

graham ddyou saw the comics about google chrome ? we should do somthing 
like that to present the tech inside rebol and discuss why CArl should 
this tech instead of others
graham if you want to fix monitors lcd hum .... you need to graduate 
in micro electronic hahahaahhahaha

I've only got 2 dead LCD monitors :)
shadwolf

dead  ???  well radio shark is your friend

They're my baby monitors !

if they sudently stoped turning on that means one of the condensors 
is dead in general a dead condensor have a rounded top instead of 
a flat top so first thing is to identify what is or are the condensors 
that is dead then you take in note the reference V/µF you go to the 
radio shark and you buy the same one
Graham

mine turn on .. just no picture
shadwolf

then you remove the dead condensor and you replace it  by the one 
and Voila

oh well, I have plenty of spare LCD monitors.

no picture ????  hum really  if you point a strong light source to 
it does it show you the screen content ?
Graham

don't think so.

lcd monitors use a neon like lamp to enligh the background of the 
LCD matrix and some time that neon tube lamp dies it can be changed 
easyly

I think mine are 12 inch monitors
I use them on servers

screen turning on without showing image is the most annoying thing 
since it ca comme from lot of diferent sources
it can be the transitors it can be too a freaking little electric 
 wire that cuts itself because of over heat
thiner is the cable less resistant it will be to eat
heat ...
like my electronic professor would say always check first the more 
anoying possibility then goes to the easiest
does someone have the like to download chrome ?

Good news, shadwolf !  You fixed your LCD monitor.  And I suppose 
"condensor" translates to "capacitor" in English...
shadwolf
2-Sep-2008
[3126]
... well that's the electrinic device to stabilise electric signal 
it store electricy when there is more than expected electricity and 
deliver the stored electricy when the electric singal if weaker to 
maintain a stable level
Anton

Aha, wikipedia says a "condensor" is an "Early description of a capacitor".

well in french that condensateur  :P

I wondered what else would be measured in µF... :)
shadwolf

k so that was the capacitor who was defective and that's a pity to 
have to trash a 1 year old lcd monitor only because they didn't put 
10  more cents to an electric device that in best quality cost 0.60 
cts ...
and now that the defective condensor is replaced the lcd onitor works 
great  ^^
google chrome any link ?
to donload it ?

Looks good....But does not seem to run the REBOL plugin, eg:
