Usually Bush would step over to the side that a normal conservative would have taken. But if the conservatives are still in the dark about any new technology... guess what the safe bet would be? Oppose whatever the expert says.
Hey maybe we should try reverse psychology with this guy. It might actually work.

you know what... if everyone has to read the whole freaking thread before voting nobody would turn up... But I am going to vote for Bush if I pee blood on Nov 2.
oops! I forgot I am not American! Stupid Bush! Boring Kerry!
1.1 micron is in the infra red region (Optical is a misnomer) of the electromagnetic spectrum... It is called optical only because of historical reasons.
I do not see any use for optics in processing even though photons theoritically travel faster than light. (Remember photons also do not travel at 3*10^8 in a waveguide eg silicon: velocity = c/refractive index and refractive index of silicon ~= 3.5)
although this would boost the oppurtunity for optics in processing... I do not believe it would be usefull in high speed processing simply because it would be drain lot of power (wall-plug efficiency is being worked on to improve right now!) but this could change..But one thing that cannot change is that the waveguides and devices (need to be atleast as big as the wavelength) are very big compared to the electronic devices...
here is a fair comparison of wavelengths. -optical wavelength = 1.1 microns. electronic wavelength -(electrons can be compared in energy to an x-ray photons and so wavelength of x-ray photon - this concept is used in electron microscopy) this is in nanometers 2 orders smaller.
so the electronic device sizes are 2 orders smaller and so lot more dense.

I think the main application of this improvement is that it could boost the video conferencing applications or video streaming (which has seen so less improvement in the recent days). When talking about 10 Gb/s bandwidth, it does not help anything with our system unless you are dealing with huge amounts of data - like video streaming or conferencing.
Also considering the fibre optic communication(FOC) systems it is been quite some time since we knew the potential of the FOC. Seriouly, we had 1Tb/s experimental systems 4 years back and only now do we have a 10Gb/s per user system.

"He's for anything that might get him a vote, but not so much that might piss the people off would be against it."
Hey isnt this how democracy is supposed to work... You elect a guy who will do what the people want. If you want an attitude in that guy- go find that in your boyfriend!

Fuck all that! I dont see any difference between Australia or China in containing the media.

I guess we need to have a new section for /butt!!!
did you make from this ad in /.??
anyways it was good change from all the geekiness!!

this only makes the Firehose bottleneck (too much data from communication channel than you can process or even store) worse...
device guys, and computer architecture gear up and give us some good processing. looks like everybody else is working!
