Digital Equipment started the open architecture thing with the PDP series in the '60's when most of these characters were still bed-wetters. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/dec-faq/pdp8/
I worked for Burroughs in the '70's. If you had one you got the source code for the OS (Burroughs MCP) and source for just about everything that went with it. It wasn't free, and you couldn't republish it, but you could (and many did) modify and recompile it to suit yourself. But, I digress. Digital really gets the credit.
These guys all know this history and are not being honest when they pretend to have a part in creating the open source movement. In fact, they've done more than anyone except Apple to set it back - The only open part was publishing a subset of the API. Hell, Microsoft did not even document all the switches to DOS commands (fdisk/mbr), much less release a complete list of the system calls.

The suspension of civil rights during a war is OK by me - it's an old tradition and a sensible one. Are we having a war with someone?
The problem I have is that Constitution reserves the right to declare war to Congress. If we need war powers, fine, declare war. It sure looks like one to me.
Otherwise, don't mess with my Bill of Rights.
One of the reasons people used 7 bits is that the ASCII standard is a seven bit code, so an eighth data bit is only wasting time.
I'm not going to mention EBCDIC, or the 6 bit code used by Sperry.

Boson was coined by Dirac in reference to Einstein-Bose statistics. Bose's full name was Satyendra Nath Bose.
It' probably has do do with economics.
I may have a similar situation. I work for a hospital, and we want to get rid of a stack of 486's sitting in a storeroom. Some are chock full of patient info. HIPPA (patient privacy act) says $10,000 fine for each incident of improper release of information, so we have an incentive. Not to mention how happy attorneys are to discover such incidents. (It can get real expensive)
First you have to plug the thing in and hook up the cables. There's only table space for two at a time.
Second, the overwrite. I'm only doing one overwrite. Why?
Do you have any idea how long it takes to do a single overwite of a hard drive on a 486, much less 7, 10, or 16 overwrites?
Suppose the 486 is flaky and the floppy is broken.
I'm supposed to fix it so I can erase the HD?
The salary cost of personnel doing thorough overwrite, degaussing, and all those other games makes it a hellavu lot cheaper to incinerate the drives and buy new ones. (if one were to attempt a thorough job). How many is the Gov talking about? 10's of thousands?
Ideally, one would have them wiped at the desk before installing the upgrade. (as if I trust the contractor-of-the-day to remember or actually spend the time).
Reading between the lines of the article, and interpolating from my own experience, the real problem with releasing overwritten drives versus the acid bath, is that some of the ones that were supposed to be overwritten were not done. How would you know (cost-effectively) that the overwriting was done completely, or at all?
Double-checking doubles the cost.
What's the point in giving away a $100 dollar computer if it costs $200 in taxes to clean it up?
Well, the schools don't care if it costs the government $2000 to donate a 486. To them, it's "free". People holler, politics intervenes, and we're back to giving them away.
The Pentagon says "to hell with it", we'll just do a single wipe and get rid of the problem.
Our grandchildren are really going to be pissed at us. First we burn up all the oil by driving around aimlessly and keeping our houses at a constant temperature no matter what the season.
Just wait until they find out that we dug up all the radioactive materials, purified them, and then reburied them in unreachable places so our ancestors can't have nuclear energy either. How can anybody explain that?
"The best you can hope for is to be buried in secret so your grave won't be desecrated".
Something doesn't add up. I have problems with the amount of energy available and the application of the inverse-square law.
The article says this device dumps "billions of watts in a few nanoseconds". So we're talking about 10-100 joules of energy?
How about a trillion watts in 10 nanoseconds? That would be 1000 joules of energy. How much harm would that do if dumped into the power grid?
zip-doodle. What about destroying electronic devices? My $10 surge suppressor is rated at 600 joules.
Wattage means nothing when talking about destroying objects. It's the energy that counts.
A 155mm artillery shell can hold about 90 lbs of TNT (if memory serves me) which would release about 200 MegaJoules of energy when detonated. I use this example to set an upper limit on how much energy can be packed into a 155mm artillery shell.
Suppose we have (upper limit) 200 MJ of energy in an EMP. What would be the amount of energy available in a 10cmx10cm area (a circuit board) at 5 kilometers? 5km would form a sphere with a surface area of 5x10E11 sq meters.That's 200 MJ into 5x10e11 square meters for about.0004 joules per square meter or about.04 microjoules into my circuit board. Is that enough to flip a single DRAM bit? At one kilometer it's.05 joule per sq meter.
Here's the other thing. Circuit traces in modern devices are very short so they can't pick up much energy. (The amount of energy absorbed depends on the length of the wire - that's why power grids are vulnerable to solar storms but your heart pacemaker is not).
I can see such amounts of energy causing electronic devices to reboot by flipping a DRAM bit, but real computers have ECC memory anyway. And the energy to flip a bit is far shot from enough energy to short a PN junction in a device and thus "destroying" it.
How about another example? There are about 8 lightning strikes every second on earth. Now we're talking big numbers - typically two miles long with 100 megavolts and 50000 amps. Now we have on the order of a Terajoule of energy, and a good bit of that is dumped into an EMP. You can hear them from all over the world on your AM radio. If you're close to one you can get get hurt.
Something doesn't add up in the math for the EMP artillery shell and all the destruction it's supposed to cause. It sounds like vaporware to me.
Everything I've ever read on EMP weapons are:
1) nuclear weapons
2) mounted on a truck with a huge antenna

The author is correct in every detail. His/her only mistake may have been assuming too much of the background of the readers.
You say: I wonder if the author of this article can tell me how the wave-nature of electrons is used to make lasers and LED's?
The author says:
Solutions to the Schrödinger wave equation dictate that an electron, no matter how smeared-out, can reside only within such a band
Put it another way: The existence of discrete electron orbitals is a consequence of the wave-nature of electrons. (It is an if-and-only-if consequence)The solutions of the Schrödinger equation describe these orbitals although it gets kinda hard to solve for extended materials.
Think about ruby or He-Ne lasers. There can only be population inversions in the energy levels if discrete (quantized) orbitals existed - or as the author says:
Solutions to the Schrödinger wave equation dictate that an electron, no matter how smeared-out, can reside only within such a band.
You Again:
but there is no way to prevent there from being a gradient in between these regions.
The existence of conduction/valence bands (and the gradient)is an IFF consequence of the existence of quantized electron orbitals due to the wave nature of electrons.
If the wave nature did not exist (and therefore no discrete orbitals), then electrons could assume any energy value and the band gap between the P-N junction would not exist. No PN junction, no diode, transistor, or LED.
The story of wondering about the light bulb is apocryphal but not wrong if you consider that Wien's displacement law predicts a different color for radiating bodies than what is observed. So, what the author is saying is that the yellow that is observed for the typical light bulb is not what is predicted by theory. Why should the author spend another page explaining the black-body radiation problem (linear Temp/Freq relationship for low temps and exponential relationship for high temps) when a concrete physical example exists?
You again:
First of all, Planck did not discover quantum mechanics. He postulated quantized energy levels.
You are right about that, but I'm mystified about your rant as the article nowhere says that "Planck discovered quantum mechanics".
It said:
For to solve his problem, Planck had had to invent the notion of the quantum.
The author did have this to say as well:
But, although he was the first to be confounded by quantum mechanics, he would not be the last.

Everyone knows that the penguins did their vertical rotation when a British pilot did a slow flyover in a Harrier jet. Who wouldn't watch?
I've seen it happen with people at the beach (Savannah, GA) watching a F4 Phantom do a low and slow overhead. Plane flys left to right, flys out over the ocean, flys back inland, people look up, flop over. But, no one looks up to see a helicopter.
Even better, why don't they try it with a B52 skimming the waves like in the days of SAC flying 24x7? That'll get their attention. Especially those savvy penguins that know what the payload is.
Or, do they want this test to fail? Helicopters are just annoying. Penguins won't be interested in looking up for that. To reproduce the results, one must reproduce the conditions.
"Destroy their servers and fire them," says Jeff Shapiro, director of technology for the Kingsport, Tenn., public schools.
Hey, if your network's virginity is so precious, install switches and turn on port security.
I have to laugh anyway, I was a teacher for a while, and the idea of an IT person getting anyone fired about anything in a public school system is beyond belief. Even the lunchroom ladies are laughing at this one.
On the other hand, I'm working in a hospital now-a-days. We have had someone more than once (doctors have unlimited self-funding) setup something unauthorized on the network with some poor choices that randomly killed access to something else that was mission-critical.
So now other doctors couldn't get to lab results, patient histories, etc. This is a Very Bad Thing.
The people who pay the IT managers' bosses' salaries did not _ask_ if it can be prevented from from happening again.
It's not Linux that's the problem. For everyone that got hurt with samba's NT pdc hijacking, there was someone that got buggered when an unauthorized WIN2000 server went up and tried to take over the network.
The problem isn't Linux or NT or "the unknown" per se, but rather risk assesment. If you are responsible in any way, when faced with making decisions you have to ask:
1)What does the organization gain from this?
2)What's the worst that can happen?
1) Having a policy of letting anyone setup their own servers is ludicrous. This is something that IT MUST be in charge of. If someone is smart enough to discover a way that Linux/BSD/AmigaDos can make the company run better, then they should understand Linux/etc well enough to make a formal presentation of the specific solution and its benefits. Most people can't do this because, frankly, they do not understand either Linux, WINNT, or Win95 well enough to explain it to someone else. This also means they don't understand it well enough to install or support it except in the most superficial way. Why should IT have to drop what they're doing to figure it out for you? And even if it's a great idea, some things can't go on the general network _today_ because the bandwidth isn't there - consider what a Napster infestation can do to your bandwidth
2)You figure it out next time you're in a hospital bed.

So where does the money come from that pays for Napsters's servers, data lines, and salaries?
If I own a store and I know that people are selling me stolen property and I sell that property to another person and make a profit off the two transactions, I believe that would be a crime. It would still be a crime if I did this and got paid a salary by the store instead of getting a cut of the profit on each sale. And it's still a crime even if 90% of the sales are legit when I KNOW the property is stolen.
So Joe copies Metallica songs that get transferred to Bob and somehow Napster gets money out of this to pay their salaries and equipment costs.
