OT: What's this got to do with the last 63,120 inches??

Re: I read several posts where a couple of you spoke about fog and rain interference with Terabeam's technology.
Frank has this well covered so I won't go into it except to ask if the transmission on the Treasury system were at 1550nm and at what power the lasers were transmitting? I seem to recall that there are certain windows in transmission frequency where rain is less of an issue. I know that heavy rains or snow would affect my DirectPC signal in the K-Band.
it seems logical to me that Terabeam has found a resolve to that problem. Would you not agree?
Logic and reality sometimes mesh but often have nothing to do with each other. For example, the English language is a logic system. Consider the relationship of the following two statements:
1) Statement 2 is true.
2) Statement 1 is false.
From my reading of the Gilder Report, one could infer that the fogsmograinsnow issue has been resolved. That was part of the breakthrough that we will all learn more about on Monday when Terabeam opens the veils and doors for business.

There is an interesting lack of correlation between the level of activity on an SI board and the success of a stock in the market. Of course, in the case of Terabeam and Transmeta, there is no play for scalpers, short sellers, momo boiz or the other detritus of the market. So they don't waste their time on topics like technology. Makes sense here.
Some interesting comparisons:
MSFT, 52wk change=_____23%, # of SI posts=~20,000/52wks.
DELL, 52wk change=_____16%, # of SI posts=~45,000/52wks.
QCOM, 52wk change=_~1,200%, # of SI posts=~53,000/52wks.
SDLI, 52wk change=_~1,320%, # of SI posts=____812/52wks.
XLA, 52wk change=_53,240%, # of SI posts=____319/52wks.
My conclusion? Tawk is cheap. Understanding....priceless.
Re: ....the last mile solution will be long be found, you all will be retired, and the world will have moved on to the next revolution.
So, M., the last mile will never be fully resolved, I am retired, and the next revolution is in human genomics. Instead of discussion the last mile, we could be rhapsodizing about the last molecule, reflecting on ribosomes, and ribbing each other over di-wry-bonucleaic acid. I won't bore you with all the g(l)ory details but this is worth a note:
Figures as above, 52 week results:
HGSI +982%,___438 posts
INCY +805%,_1,367 posts
MLNM +537%,___515 posts
CORR +902%,___568 posts
Smart people tell me the best is yet to come.....
At the risk of repeating myself, I'll revive what one great man of the last century had to say:
"Only two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
