Anyways, I think that these fibers could have very real applications, but not nessc. as cloting. Think of this: a wristpad for a laptop that gathers power for it, to extend battery life!
Or as some have said, a beach umbrella that powers something.
Although the same could be accomplished with solar panels, solar panelss are bulky and inflexible, so fibers like this are a definite turn on to the inventive side of me.
If it's under the control of 1800 universitys, how long is it going to take to get a domain?
I assume that not every single one of them will look at applications, but still, it sounds as if we'll have beuracratic peoples dealing with domains now. I mean, at University At Buffalo, Clubs can't even sell tickets to their own events. They have to go through the student assoc. to sell them.
Is endless red-tape something we want to invite to the internet? Or did I just waste my breath?
It seems to me that it would be done as either a codec or as some other hard-ward controlling device, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I don't really see this having an impact on sales for M$.
I mean if you think about, who other then us, the techie community, found out about this? Surely not the padded-pocket executives and home users that pay for expsensive windows software.
Yes, this is sad. But no, I don't think it will make a difference in the industry.
I've found that voice over IP can be pretty good. Or it can suck goat ass.
Using stuff like phoneFREE and such can make for some interesting phone calls if you don't have a good microphone. As awesome as it is to make calls for free, the quality sucks.
As for them being open-sourced now, It's about time. I think that we should be able to work on it fairly well.

Sadly, freedom of speech is limited not only by the media that transmits it.
In the name of decency, people censor thought, (or lack thereof) in hopes of making "Our american youth stronger." I'm 16, I watch pron, I'm just fine. I can code in perl, c,c++, *tml, and faithfully read slashdot.
I've read into Neo-Nazi's. I've read into the KKK, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to become one. Bottom line: Just because someone says that you can become something, doesn't mean that you will.
If they remove the media that shows us that other options exsist, though, how will we make descisions? After all, we can't, not without options.
It's been my experience that govt. won't really ware about such things as 'dandy new technolgies'.
A lot of them don't even know how to turn their computers on. So what's to think that our elected officials will take this into consideration, and they will more likely take the cons into sight, as few as they are.
It's been an obession of mine to take stuff apart for the longest time, since I was a little kid. I could usually put it back together, and it would work, I might even get it to work better.
I would pick stuff up at garage sales, and fix it.
But now it seems like I can't afford the things I want to take apart. I'm glad to know that someone can. And I like that they showed me how.
Even if someone does sign an agreement saying that they can't say anything about something if they stop working there, where do employers get off thinking that they should be able to tell someone where and where they can't work?
I've heard of something similar:
It's called slavery. When they say that you can't go somewhere, and that you can't work for this person, or this person, that's slavery.
Granted, you're getting payed, but nonetheless, they are stripping you of a liberty.
But saying that you can't do something without you agreeing is a facist dictatorship. It's funny how when you relate government to work, that there hasn't been any revolutions yet. Other then some postal workers, but that's another story, because the work for the government.

Light has been used for storage for quite a long time. Don't believe me? I'm suprised.
We have:
Compact Discs. Although they aren't all that fast, they can be a great way to hold information.
In-side of compact discs- CD-R(w). These little buggers hold my mp3 collection, all 3o gigs of it. not that impressive, but...
We have DVD-ROM/RAM. This stuff is great. Although the media and drive are a little expensive for an averege user, they do work well, and a DVD-RAM disk holds a good 5.2 gigabytes of information. It would take signifagantly fewer of these to backup a large collection of files, and even their cost is offset by the time they would save burning some 50 CD-R's.
Now, someone is likely to say- "Well this is something that is cheaper and better."
I agree. It's just that this is nothing new, light is something that is great, and will continue to stay around for sometime. That is unless the sun flickers out and throws us into a vacuum of oblivion. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

For a while, I thought that peer to peer was good. But then I got a CD burner, and some of my freinds wanted to trade mp3's. I figured "why not?" and we did. The speed of the whole thing was amazing.
I've started to do this over mail, and now have some 45 gigs of mp3's. A modest collection, considering some people's 350 gig+ collection. (i'd love to see the RIAA make them pay the 250,000 dollars a pirated album)

It's much like pron sites. You go to one, and a few ads come up. You click those off, and a few more come up. Click that window away, and another add comes up. I damn sun and their infernal javascript!!
Even worse is Macromedia in conjunction with solaris. Say you go to a pefectly legitmate site, and then there's an add there. This add contains HT ML, Java commmands, and then it springs a pop-up.

Bigger banner adds are annoying, but only If they get in the way. That's usually not too bad. Just bad design. Run a search for the nys dmv. It's horribly designed.

Well, in my state, you have to be 16 to hold a part-time job. And no-one hires anyways, because the enconomy sucks.
I did. Geeks will rule the earth.
Mabye he's 15. Can't get a job then, short of a paper route. Try buying a PC on 20 bucks a week, with no chance in hell of financing.
Last I checked, p3's and T-Birds use different sockets. Like 370 and A(420)
Just a freindly word of caution, my freind. Look into it.
Seriously, having a great coder community here, I ask: Do you write bloated code intentionally?
If so, my p!! 233 scorns you.

As much as we hate them, and people lose their jobs, and we all hate that too, mergers can be a sign for a good change.
AOL/Time Warner-Merged (Huge Company)
Ok, so mabye that wasn't the best example.
But when you look at it, mergers only mean that the companys are goiing somewhere in the right direction.
And please, put the flames on the boards, not in my e-mail!
