If you want to encourage understanding of those who are muslim and not bigoted, that's fine and admirable, but to pretend you have no idea where this bias comes from is pretty lame.
Yeah, well the jerk store called and they're running out of YOU!
The windows installer has given me 100 times more headache due to the activation process alone, ignoring the less powerful disk formatting and partitioning tools, having to load drivers from other media, et cetera.
It's not even grammar at that point, your shit is so bad that I can't even tell what you're trying to say. I've seen people confuse 'are' and 'our' but 'are' and 'or'? Thank you for making the rest of us feel smart, though.
Anyone who buys an Enquirer has demonstrated that they are gullible as hell, making the advertising space on those pages incredibly valuable. If someone will believe that there is a half human half bat boy flying around in mexico then they will believe anything.
It's not really illegal until you've actually eliminated or prevented competition through it.
As it is hopefully the backlash from their North Korea style platform management should be enough to handle it.
I know I certainly wouldn't have an iPhone at any price.
It's only that valuable because nobody is bringing any back.
If someone is bringing down 200 kilos every few months you had better believe the price will drop to nothing.
It's not as though it's actually useful for anything but study, and once you have some to study you don't need more just like it.
Yeah, I wish I had a cheap digital camera that picked up wavelengths from 1000 to 2000 nanometers. I bet if I walked into any datacenter or telecom collo it would light up like christmas.
I'm going on what I know about fiber, but I assume the same holds true for air but with higher values of attenuation and maybe a shift up or down in frequency.
Basically at frequencies of 1310 nanometers and lower your attenuation is mainly due to scattering. Your photon will scatter off any imperfection in the medium larger than it's wavelength so short wavelengths scatter a lot. This continues in fiber up to around 1600 NM where the main cause of attenuation becomes absorbtion of the photon by the atoms it is passing through.
Another problem with this tech that I didn't think of is dispersion.
Dispersion is what makes multimode fiber only good up to around 500 meters. Multimode fiber is going to produce a lot less modal dispersion than something with as many modes as a room. I recommend reading up on single-mode and multimode fiber and modal and chromatic dispersion. It's pretty cool stuff from a geeky perspective.
APDs have been mass produced in large volume for at least a decade for telecom. They are still much more expensive than a PIN style detector.
Unlike the PIN they have a feedback loop to shut off or reset the detector after each bit since each bit detected creates an avalanche of stimulated emission. They're pretty complex tiny little thingies which require exotic materials.
It won't be. It will either be 1310nm or 1550nm.
I doubt that anything lower than 1310 would be used due to increased attenuation of higher frequencies.
By the way 1310 is more than double the wavelength that you can see with your eyes, and if this thing is made with APD receivers then it will not be cheap.
Not the dumb people, though. Think of all the people who can't do anything that couldn't be done as well or better by a robot. Mathematically, half of us are of below median intelligence, after all. Those people are going to form unions and special interest groups and fight progress like it's AIDS in the coming years.
The guy who ignored campaign finance reform won and I think that says a lot about voters and politicians opinions on the subject.. We may as well give up on sanitizing where their money is coming from.
AT&T doesn't like to go outside the company for backhaul, now that it has a wireless company and a transport company under one roof.
As their old transport contracts are expiring they are rolling those circuits onto their own network. They are focusing on cost savings this way instead of spending their efforts on bringing new cell sites online.
I agree with you but that has no logical connection to what I said.
If there are useless laws we should have them repealed, that doesn't affect how we prosecute actual crimes one way or the other. If it shouldn't be illegal then don't make it illegal. If something definitely should be illegal, a conviction shouldn't be negated just because of what some third party did, intentionally or not.
It happens all the time and it doesn't really do anything but put criminals back on the streets. What should be done is convict the criminal and then turn around and convict the investigator who broke the law during the course of the investigation. What you propose is just 'two wrongs make a right as long as two different people commit them'.

Yeah, well you're a douchebag. I've suffered a lot more at the hands of douchebags.

That may be the single worst sentence I've read today.

The song was about Andy Kaufman who was a denier, although probably only for comic effect.

If it's not convenient to the rhetoric, it can't be true.

I guess I might as well just watch cartoons all day, if that's the way we're going.

Wish I had mod points. There are too many "RAMBUS is a legitimate innovator." posts in this thread for my liking.

Amen. The Memory Stick format is such a blatant grab for cash at the expense of customers it's ridiculous.
We now have something like that. McCain opted into the public funding and Obama opted out (of change that is).
Pretending this is a partisan issue is one good way to guarantee it continues and gets worse.
