I work on long wavelength InGaN (green) lasers. They're at least a year away from being delveloped in the lab, and probably another year from production.
As someone who deals with patents/copyrights in the daily job, I can say that copyrights and patent extending beyond the life of the author are not an incentive for the author/inventor. They only serve to enrich the companies that own the copyrights after the death. I'm not saying this is a terrible thing. I'm not some "blah blah blah the multinational corporations man! blah blah blah". But when people argue that patents/copyrights of a duration that extends beyond the life of the author/inventor to incentivize them.....that's total BS.
Shouldn't it be easy enough to find out if its fake. If someone from OZ clicks a bunch of the links, and they can't access them, its real, if they can....its fake....or am I missing something?
Well only a certain amount of the educated public do anything to push technology forward. College should be more focused on science. An eglish comp degree isn't gonna help you solve too many problems you wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Moore's law is not a LAW. Why do people always act like its on the same level as newton's laws or the Schrodinger wave equation? It's just a prediction by some guy 50 years ago. Nothing more (Moore?) nothing less.
There won't be any new technology (shorter wwavelength lasers) dethroning bluray because the technology isn't there. Shorter wavelength lasers are 5-10 years off at the very least. And for them the trickle down to media players? Who knows. Look how long blu-ray took and the technology was invented 10 years ago or so.

Sounds exactly like every PAID gov't employee!
As yes, the "Reasonable" $18k for what was at most, sharing a hundred copies of a song.
Umm, TONS of electronics use As, that doesn't make them dangerous. When its covalently bonded to things like Ga its pretty safe.
It won't saturate any reasonable broadband connection. Ever looked at how much data WC3 transmits back and forth? Not much at all. a few kb/s maybe.
