I mean, I know several people who've gotten LASIK surgery on their eyes, and its been around for years, yet I've never heard of a laser 'breaking' and damaging anything. Is this a solution looking for a problem? I think self-monitoring fiber optics would be GREAT in the datacom industry... in the medical field its surely a 'nice to have'.
Normally, IBM, Oracle, et.al. wouldn't be so bold, but when they see the big alpha dog showing signs of weakness, the rest of the pack suddenly turns on it.
I'm sorry, but you have to prove your assertions that this is unsafe, rather than the other way 'round. Merely speculating a negative impact does not make it exist, nor does it impose a burden on those making their claims.
Something that NASA is going to get involved with, per TFA(s). Basically, if you can get the electron to "orbit" the proton nucleus of a hydrogen atom at a lower level, you've produced a lot of energy.
Um, just making something illegal doesn't stop it. Try doing the speed limit, in Westchester county of all places. To me, this sounds like one of those "I'm protecting your children from Teh Internets" moves that politicians do periodically when they have to remind the masses that its time to vote. How about holding someone responsible (gasp) for any malicious activity that originates FROM their network?
The point of CNC machining is precision down to the tenth or half-tenth thousand. It is not enough to buy a subscription to Make magazine, go to Home Depot, and buy some parts. The guy is doing it right - buy a real machine, if you expect anything out of it. He'll still have his software problem, but only one problem, and even thats fixable by money. By building his own CNC machine, he'll end up with both a software AND a hardware problem.
It allows you to build chips using light, at speeds for which we can reasonably design things, and interface them with things at small fractions of C. The benefit to the optical chip is power and heat, which means you can pack more chips in, which means you can make a faster computer.
Gods, are you an oil company shill or what? Vegetable oil is NOT biodiesel. Pouring canola oil into your tank is one of the quickest ways to fsck up your engine. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils which go through a chemical process known as transesterification, where the glycerin is replaced with a methyl ion.
"Software developers have spent years optimizing their code to mitigate the impacts of latency."
Really? MS hand-tunes the ASM code generated when they do a build of winword.exe ? Maybe thats why OO.o is so slow?
If I sound sarcastic, I suppose I am. With a few exceptions, almost every coder I've worked with in multiple jobs, has been of the 'throw CPU cycles' at the problem. I can count on one hand those who actually design for a HW architecture, since most of the coders these days are VBScript and Java kiddies.
For instance, a simple search would have uncovered This Page.

To claim the goal of all social activism is "They want to change the government into something that supports a productive society. They want institutions to stop hiding facts and to pay attention to science." is a gross and naive oversimplification. Many social activists are actively ANTI-science (Fundamentalist Christians). Many social activists are actively ANTI-production (anti-globalization groups, ELF, etc).
so said Dr. Kant. Kant threw causality out the window, while Hume proceeded to consign the very concept of philosophy to his flames, thus was born socialism, naturalism, and the 19th and 20th centuries have seen a rising hatred of the intellectual and the individual ever since. I for one, do not accept our new ignorant, philosophically bankrupt, parasitical overlords.
So you visit the page, where you can "leave comments through this webpage". There's no obvious way to do that. Then you click another link, and it takes you to something that looks like either an Internet RFC, or the text of a congressional bill. Somewhere on this page, there is a link to an official form that you have to use... but after you read the ominous "if you mail it , we might not get it" page, and click the link, it takes you back to the first page. How many otherwise cogent arguments will be lost in this sea of silliness? How many otherwise fallacious arguments will make it through the process, because those with vested interests have lobbyists? Hey, EFF, help us out here...
Whats next, "How do I produce PDF files, using Linux and Open Source?" "How can I leverage Open Source to surf the web?"
Christ, this is like the late 90's, when everything suddenly had "e" in front of it. Dude, get Ethereal, slap it on any Windows box, and be done. No need to get nerdy with Linux. If you know enough that its broadcast traffic, you're halfway there.
The Tape ARchive tool, reports IBM, will allow users to add and remove files from a data set, called a 'tarfile', via a well-documented API, which IBM wants OSS developers to leverage. This 'tarfile' can be created as a regular Unix or Wintel filesystem file, or directly written to tape or disk. This can be used to create any number of GUI and command line tools to provide low-level access to the data files contained within. A bonus to the extensible format used by IBM is that native Compress, GZ and BZ2 compression libraries can be used, when available on the system. A beta release of the utility set ALSO provides LZIP compression, previously only available as a Sourceforge patch to the existing OSS toolkit.
Calling the Internet a "global resource" makes it sounds like its just "there" for the taking, like oil, or wind power, or timber, or sand, or any other natural resource. Except that the Internet was BUILT, by people, people with brains, originally with US Gubmint dough.
Whether you argue for or against the transfer of control, I think its significant to note that the proponents of taking it away from the US also explicitly and irrationally divorce the end from its means, this following on the heels of OTHER pro-Statist comments by folks from Luxembourg post-Katrina.

Not true, troll. They merely have to offer jobs to females. This isn't Soviet Russia, despite what Hillary says.

OMG, that happened to me too. Hard power reset to fix disk thrash, which of course, hosed the whole ext2 FS, requiring a reinstall.
But that was back when installing Linux was actually an educational experience.
