There's a bit of a contradiction on this page now -- it says that fuses "hopefully" create something as they burn, but then it goes on to say that useful fuses are usually clean. I don't really know much about what makes a fuse "useful", but it seems as though one or the other of these comments should be removed or altered in some way.

I don't think that [[Lightspeed wire]] should be considered a fuse, but rather a group of wicks or fuses that allow non-destructive burning at the speed of light. The reason for this is that 'lightspeed wire' does not define the signal that travels along it (many lightspeed signals exist with various periods and sizes, so it is inappropriate to say that a lightspeed wire has a period of 4).<br/>~Sokwe 18:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC) | |||

"Useful" fuses
There's a bit of a contradiction on this page now -- it says that fuses "hopefully" create something as they burn, but then it goes on to say that useful fuses are usually clean. I don't really know much about what makes a fuse "useful", but it seems as though one or the other of these comments should be removed or altered in some way. Nathaniel 22:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Lightspeed wire
I don't think that Lightspeed wire should be considered a fuse, but rather a group of wicks or fuses that allow non-destructive burning at the speed of light. The reason for this is that 'lightspeed wire' does not define the signal that travels along it (many lightspeed signals exist with various periods and sizes, so it is inappropriate to say that a lightspeed wire has a period of 4).
