Submission + - Judiciary Chair Conyers Make It Clear (metrotimes.com)

wonkavader writes: Detroit's Metro Times has a story on U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, and his dilemma over impeachment. On one hand, he says, his best friends urge him to impeach. And as the article says, "He knows, more than most people, how deeply lawless President Bush is. He knows he deserves impeachment, and knows that Cheney does, probably even more so."

But Conyer's priority isn't the constitution or justice or limiting presidential power. "Listen." he told me. "The most important thing is that we don't elect another Republican. That is the most important issue. I am supporting Obama, but any of the Democrats would be better than any Republican."

Is he saving his country or placing the needs of his party over the needs of the people?

Submission + - Lasers on a chip

wonkavader writes: The New York Times [UR:http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/18/technology/1 8chip.html?ref=technology] reports today that "Researchers plan to announce on Monday that they have created a silicon-based chip that can produce laser beams. The advance will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant bottleneck in computer design." The work is from Intel and the University of California, Santa Barbara. This suggests breakthroughs in both computing performance and networking.
