Long Distance Teleportation Could Lead
To Quantum Computing

Long Distance Teleportation Could Lead
To Quantum Computing 08/22/2004 03:16 PM
Physicists have carried out successful teleportation with particles of light over a distance of 600m across the River Danube in Austria.

When physicists say "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of key properties from one particle to another without a physical link. Quantum teleportation relies on an aspect of physics known as "entanglement"; whereby the properties of two particles can be tied together even when they are far apart. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance".

Long distance teleportation is crucial if dreams of superfast quantum computing are to be realised.

"The really interesting question for us was whether we could do this outside a lab setting, in the environment used for today's fibre-optic communications," co-author Rupert Ursin of the University of Vienna told BBC News Online. "This is very important if you are talking about investing money in quantum communication."

Quantum teleportation could be harnessed for fast, powerful computers or communication networks.

Ellen Macarthur is trying to break the solo round-the-world sailing record. From her website you can see stills and videos while she’s enroute, and track her progress. Meanwhile, the Vendee Globe is underway, with 20 sailors racing a similar course – also nonstop, and with no outside assistance allowed. The first solo nonstop circumnavigation was only 35 years ago, and the record has gone from 313 days to 72. It’s the slow way around, to be sure, and that’s probably why only a few dozen people have done it.

The anti-Kerry book Unfit for Command is #1 on Amazon. Unfortunately, the book, not even released, has entered the downward spiral of diminished credibility of its authors. The "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" have been found to include a man who changed his story right after Kerry entered the race and another who flat-out retracts his accusations. Meanwhile, another SBVfT member has accused Kerry of not really deserving his Bronze Star because the events leading to it never occured... even though the Veteran recieved a Bronze Star for the same day's events he claims now never happened.

Hubble casualty of Bush space plan: Sometime in the future, we'll be mourning the poor Hubble Space Telescope. It was good while it lasted.

The Hubble Space Telescope will be allowed to degrade and eventually become useless, as NASA changes focus to President Bush's plans to send humans to the moon, Mars and beyond, officials said Friday. NASA canceled all space shuttle servicing missions to the Hubble...

Did you know that when the Hubble was first launched (then subsequently — and infamously — fixed), there was a program where amateur astronomers could submit proposals and, if they were accepted, could use the Hubble to test their own astronomy theories?

Long Distance Wi-Fi

Long Distance Wi-Fi 08/09/2004 10:16 PM

Teens' wireless feat could be world record: Quite a feat took place at DefCon.

In the end, their 55-mile amplified connection exceeded last year's winner by 20 miles. Then they turned off their amplifiers and broke the record for an unamplified connection at the same distance.

While not yet confirmed, the connection appears to be a world record for a ground connection. The Guinness record for Wi-Fi connection is about 192 miles, achieved in 2002 by Swedish Wi-Fi equipment maker Alvarion and the Swedish Space. But that record was achieved using a Swedish weather balloon, which some experts say isn't comparable to a ground measurement because there are fewer obstacles to block a signal.

The Swedish team also used amplification in setting the mark, while the DefCon team maintained its connection even after turning off the amplification.

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go 11/19/2003 01:41 AM

This email to the css-discuss mailing list does a great job of describing the confusion and frustration that still confronts traditional web developers who are only just starting out on the road to mastering CSS. When you've "got it", it's easy to forget how much of a paradigm shift it is away from old school table methods. Here's an extract:

Step Eight.

Just when you think you're settling down into a slow and steady learning curve, this is about when you start getting emails from everyone who uses your site describing all kinds of variations on your layout as it has been interpreted by their varying browsers and platforms. This stage is the most important of all, the one where you realize that CSS support is far, far more random than any HTML workarounds that you've been dealing with for the (insert personal experience here) years you've been making web pages.

(Excerpt from an email from a user of one of my sites: "the new color and stuff on the homepage looks good, except on my computor [sic] some of the pages are cut off at the bottom and have big gaps in them")

Maybe a good analogy to make here is one with Linux: both are great in principle, but if you aren't comfortable with what you are doing you can run in to a whole bunch of problems. I wouldn't recommend anyone who is still on the CSS learning curve to move a big commercial project to pure CSS, just as I wouldn't suggest a Linux newbie start hosting their own internet facing server.

At any rate, it's obvious that we as a community still have a long way to go in creating useful resources for people who want to make the switch to CSS.

Longhorn - a long way off

Longhorn - a long way off 08/13/2004 03:51 PM
Notable Windows journalist, Paul Thurrott, has been on the Microsoft Campus this week.

"...based on some unrelated bits of information I gleaned this week, I'm now convinced that Longhorn, the next major Windows release, will be delayed beyond even the dates that speculators have been throwing around. This news raises the specter, once again, of a possible Windows XP Second Edition release as a buffer between XP and Longhorn. Don't scoff. Contrary to official denials, Microsoft has indeed investigated an interim XP release and is now looking into it again."

Truth be told, what Paul is saying is not that unbelievable. Microsoft took a lot of techies off the Longhorn program, and put them onto Service Pack 2 for Windows XP development; they wanted a good SP to ship which was going to set them (and Windows XP) in good stead for the next few years. However, at the cost of building a bit more redunancy into the Windows life cycle, they pushed back further the Longhorn release - as little as 6 months, easily as long as a year.

A SE edition of XP isn't that hard to concieve. Microsoft have done it before (Windows ME - halfway house between 98 and 2000), and wouldn't be afraid to do it again. One could see Microsoft for example putting in various features that are completed - e.g. aim to implement WinFS - and ship this as interim build; they'd have to work hard however to turn it into more than just a pay-for service pack.

The company makes a fair amount of its revenue from the Windows product line - they need to keep selling copies to keep the business as profitable as it is. An intermediary release would be a solution to a distant next edition of Windows, and would also act as a indicator of just that- a Longhorn release as far away perhaps as 2010.

The Church of the Long Now

The Church of the Long Now 07/16/2004 01:16 AM
July 02004 I believe that the folks over at the Long Now project are onto something, although they don't seem to quite realize it. They point out that civilization has a "pathologically short attention span" and are addressing this problem by building a 10,000 year clock that "ticks once a year, bongs once a century, and the cuckoo comes out every millennium". They have a charming way of prepending a zero onto the date (so that 2004, for example, becomes 02004) to emphasize this point of view. Their goal is an admirable one - to focus humanity's attention on timescales that extend beyond a single life, but they don't seem to have thought very deeply about the underlying philosophy. I propose that the Long Now has profound implications for our species - implications that range from the mundane to the practical to the spiritual. What better way to organize and direct such implications than to form a new religion? All rational thinkers, hear me: Welcome to the Church of the Long Now.

This site is now using a new version of my RSS parser. The new version is slightly more efficient but much more functional. I am going to torture test it for a few hours and if all goes well, which it seems to be thus far, I will release the script for download tonight. Among the new features of the parser, is that nearly all information is available from RSS feeds, not just the <link>, <title>, and <description> elements. Conditional GET statments and caching were retooled a little, but they're functionally identical to the old version. Jeffrey Zeldman over at Zeldman.com has introduced a new sidebar on his page called "Relevant Externals", where he links to "independent web productions". I am proud to have ReadingEd.com among the great sites in that list. Thanks Mr. Zeldman. Elsewhere, G.K. Nelson of Stonefishspine laments about being distracted from his regular web duties while learning some new web tricks. Happily I notice he mentions my work there in a good light. I have always been a big fan of Stonefishspine, both for its handsome presentation style, and its intellectual content. I'm honored. I contributed to ZENcat, you should too. Sebastian Van Sande has introduced Open Channels which parses content out of selected RSS feeds (using my RSS parser) for your viewing pleasure.
