LIDAR/Lasers
by Tyler Durden 01 Nov '02

"Some of these problems can be avoided by using very short pulses. Again you get into dwell, the short pulses -must- be made up for by increasing the PRR and this defeats the who purpose of the short pulses since you need more of them (we're talking an integration effect here so it doesn't take much to understand why duty cycle isn't as important as you make it out to be" IR is not particularly better than visible for most wavelengths, and fog is the real killer (as opposed to rain or even snow). But I know the LIDAR folks found that there ARE some nicer wavelength windows within the IR band. As for pulsed lasers, here's where my knowledge of military applications fails me (I used to work in civilian ultrafast/femtosecond optics.) As for pulsing such a laser, I can't quite imagine WHY this would be attempted for damage reasons (reconaissance is a different sotry). If the pulsing is in the millisecond regime or faster, I would imagine this is only to allow for population re-inversion of the laser material (ie, to keep it lasing at higher peak power). But I assume the military's laser research in the wavelengths of interest are well beyond the need for this. Of course, there's the easy possibility that the military does use fast pulses for the purpose of knocking out certain sensor materials via 2nd order/nonlinear processes. As we found out back in 92 or so (from some declassification), the military's optical research in Adaptive optics was in some ways 30 years ahead of the civilian world. Who the heck knows what they're doing with laser pulses. _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

I haven't been in -40 with a 500MPH wind chill, though. On the other hand, we're not talking a convertible jumbo jet with the top down, so the wind chill might not be that big a factor. Bottom line, I think Choate was blowing smoke, as usual. But Maj Variola made a questionable point, too: > At 30K feet, you have about half a minute before you pass out I just tested that, sort of. I emptied my lungs, then lifted weights for 30 seconds. It was a little painful toward the end, but I didn't grey out or anything. -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel Vote Idiotarian --- it's easier than thinking

P2P ordered to monitor users, files
by Major Variola (ret) 01 Nov '02

Can't wait until some lawyer in a black robe tries to understand Freenet... which works with Java 1.4.0 on Win95, BTW File-swapping 'Madster' must track songs Friday, November 1, 2002 Posted: 10:03 AM EST (1503 GMT) ALBANY, New York (AP) -- The file-sharing service Madster must keep a list of songs available through the system as part of a court order to block access to copyright works. U.S. District Judge Marvin Aspen in Chicago granted a preliminary injunction against the service Sept. 4. The judge sided with recording company officials who claimed Albany-based Madster violated copyright law just as Napster had before it. Aspen waited until this week, however, to release terms of the injunction to give the two sides time to suggest wording tailored to stop only the transfer of copyright files. In addition to disabling access to copyright works, Aspen directed Madster to monitor its system and keep a list of "any and all sound recordings and musical compositions" being made available. That list must be shared with recording companies upon five business days notice. Service must comply The service also must file regular reports detailing its compliance. Madster founder Johnny Deep did not immediately return calls Thursday. He has said that he didn't know of a way to filter copyright files because the transferred material is encrypted. <snip> http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/biztech/11/01/madster.ruling.ap/index.html
