Raman amps are pretty cool but tricky. For one thing, the power required is pretty high. +1W dBm isn't uncommon for certain Raman amps. At those power levels, you need to be careful you dont cause burns to personel when they are working

In principle, I don't necessarily disagree with the idea that people should be allowed to use their resources to get their message out. I do feel that's limiting speech. What I disagree with is the conveyance of funds to front groups tha

It would be VERY interesting to know if that's the case. The meme of what seems to be a brilliant idea being pooh-pooh'ed by the then-current intelligentsia is almost as common as funny cat pictures with silly quotes. "In 1962, Smith ente

Honestly, I would LOVE to see the MPAA and RIAA stop writing checks to politicians. Many folks think that there is already way too much money in politics, particularly to those politicians who are incumbent. Consequently, if the MPAA/RIA

What about Incanter? It seems like a perfect opportunity to gather two languages trying to do the same thing into a single JVM-focused project.

Thanks for posting this. I got started in standup about 10 years ago and went from doing 2-minutes at an open mic to MC at the DC Improv for Robert Schimmel in something like 4 years. That's 4 years of getting on stage every chance I got a

The thing you have to understand about "wireless" systems like CDMA/GSM/HSPDA/LTE is that there is little diversity in the vendors of these types of systems and there are a bunch of relatively closed protocols that govern how things like th
