Light Stopped, Held And Re-emitted By A Crystal
nherc writes: "An article in Nature talks about an incredible new crystal that can actual stop and hold light to be later emitted. It's mentioned light has previously been "slowed" by super cooled gases, but this certainly blows that away. They mention this could be a major step towards quantum computing."
will be the first quantum CPU? Does AMD have something in the works in this department?

man, i got slammed -- i made a similar joke above, and signed it feanor, but no one got it, and it got modded down as flamebait. sigh. i guess that's all we can expect from the moderators today.
actually, though, galadrial gives frodo a phial full of light. the more apt comparison is to the silmarils themselves, gems which feanor created containing the light of the two trees of valionr, and which morgoth stole. ah, morgoth. there's a bad guy for you.
god is just pretend.
Get a sig like mine. Moderators either love you, or they hate you.
You can't legislate goodness. Let each to his own destiny, by will of his freely made choices.
Oh great, now the third party vote will be split between Sauron and Cthulu. Perot will NEVER get elected now! :(

Quite frankly, I'd rather have Cthulu be my president than Perot.
