    The summary assumes that Judges reflect the mores of the community where they live. This is not the case. Once Judges ascend to the bench they are answerable to no one.

    Good question. It would seem that some of it was captured. I don't see how this means the experiment failed.

  9. Re:Humor? Entertainment? on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    Anybody that works in tech support or as a sys admin knows exactly how computer illiterate many of our end users are. If anything the echo coming back is they don't know how a computer works. The assumption is that the user doesn't know what's going on. That's what we are here for. We will have to endure a generation of computer illiterates before we can assume that the end user knows the details of a computer.

  20. Re:how is glass different than silicon? on Optical Fiber With a Silicon Core · · Score: 5, Informative

    From TA. "Usually an optical fiber is made by starting with a glass core, wrapping it with a cladding made from a slightly different glass, and then heating the structure until it can be pulled out into long wires. This works well enough, but for some wavelengths of light, a core made of pure crystalline silicon, like the one developed by the Clemson team, would better carry signals. Additionally, crystalline silicon exhibits certain nonlinear properties (in which the output is not proportional to the input) that are many orders of magnitude larger than for conventional silica glass. This would, for example, allow for the amplification of a light signal or for the shifting of light from one wavelength to another. The development of a silicon fiber opens the way for signal processing functions that are currently done electronically or in separate optical circuits to be performed directly inside the fiber, which allows for more compact, efficient systems."
