I found it to be perfectly clear. At the time of the reading, he was her husband, and she was having an affair with her second husband, making him (at least) the third husband.

lol

I'm glad to see someone admit something--all of the radical liberal movements in the US (environmental extremism, pro-gay, anti-military, pro-union, and most of the rest of the Democrat interest groups) are all just displaced Communists.

Cool! He is my great-grandadvisor :)

I don't believe such a method is known to exist (and it's not for lack of looking). Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Just to clarify, by all-optical switching, I meant anything where the single photon is not measured & resent (i.e., the way a classical repeater works). This sort of switching is possible, but not typically done.

No, it can be done on a switched network, as long as the switching is all-optical (or you have a quantum repeater). Fortunately, this sort of technology is MUCH simpler than a full-blown quantum computer, so wide-scale quantum cryptography will be viable (though not necessarily in place) long before quantum computing is viable.

What enables me to earn wealth is the natural ability of a human being, in the presence of a society that allows individuals to fulfill that potential. Government is not the creator of this society (it is, in fact, created by the people), only the appointed protector of it. Government of course has legitimate functions, but taking wealth from the people who created it and handing it out to others is not one of them.

When someone earns, or really creates, some amount of wealth, that person is the sole entity that deserves that wealth. Whether or not they need it is irrelevant. Taxes are only morally acceptable when they go to fund a legitimate role of government.

If anyone doesn't want a tax cut, they are free to send more money to the US Treasury department.

No, they just sucked their companies dry by holding a gun to their heads during union contract negotiations, then had taxpayers like me write them a $50 billion check so they could go bankrupt two weeks later. Oh, and then stole the company's assets from the rightful bond holders and gave it to themselves (the union). All the while forcing me to pay unnecessarily high prices for cars. You picked a great example there...

This statement says the same thing with and without the word "intellectual". This is proposing that all created property (e.g., a house that I built with my bare hands) belongs to "The People".

This is Communism.

What did you think the Obama administration would do? Hire someone with even a tiny bit of private sector experience? Ha!

It does not matter what lens was used to collimate the beam in the first place. The focal length of the lens system of the eye is such that a beam with a flat wavefront (i.e., collimated) will be focused at the back of the eye.

If the beam is defocused, it will spread out too rapidly to make efficient collection possible. If the beam is collimated, your eye will focus it (if its in the ~400-1200nm range). I agree that mid IR is very usable.
