I agree - but whats to stops a gov doing that with paper publications?
Thats why a journal should be mirrored in multiple countries - no one goverment should have control over content.
I'd say that low band width devices such as the mouse & keyboard are better served by a -cheap- electrical bus - this could be joined together to create a small device controller module which connects to the optical bus.
However optical bus may be a bit difficult to design due to connectivity issues - you cann't just splice an optical bus. A star topology network within the computer would probably be easier to implement, ie. one fibre for each device and a centralised controller (not necessarily the CPU) which could implement DMA, IRQ and probably a large L2/L3 cache.

No, it just makes you less likely to get them across!
Are you sure that several million miles on the clock counts as low milage? Or have the Russians been 'clocking' in an attempt to rase the price :-)

No this IS something that should be modded up.
