Abraham Van Heel is also notable for another contribution. Stimulated by a conversation with the American optical physicist Brian O'Brien, Van Heel made the crucial innovation of cladding fiber-optic cables. All earlier fibers developed were bare and lacked any form of cladding, with total internal reflection occurring at a glass-air interface. Abraham Van Heel covered a bare fiber or glass or plastic with a transparent cladding of lower refractive index. This protected the total reflection surface from contamination and greatly reduced cross talk between fibers. By 1960, glass-clad fibers had attenuation of about 1 decibel (dB) per meter, fine for medical imaging, but much too high for communications. In 1961, Elias Snitzer of American Optical published a theoretical description of a fiber with a core so small it could carry light with only one waveguide mode. Snitzer's proposal was acceptable for a medical instrument looking inside the human, but the fiber had a light loss of 1 dB per meter. Communication devices needed to operate over much longer distances and required a light loss of no more than 10 or 20 dB per kilometer.

By 1964, a critical and theoretical specification was identified by Dr. Charles K. Kao for long-range communication devices, the 10 or 20 dB of light loss per kilometer standard. Dr. Kao also illustrated the need for a purer form of glass to help reduce light loss.

In the summer of 1970, one team of researchers began experimenting with fused silica, a material capable of extreme purity with a high melting point and a low refractive index. Corning Glass researchers Robert Maurer, Donald Keck, and Peter Schultz invented fiber-optic wire or "optical waveguide fibers" (patent no. 3,711,262), which was capable of carrying 65,000 times more information than copper wire, through which information carried by a pattern of light waves could be decoded at a destination even a thousand miles away. The team had solved the decibel-loss problem presented by Dr. Kao. The team had developed an SMF with loss of 17 dB/km at 633 nm by doping titanium into the fiber core. By June of 1972, Robert Maurer, Donald Keck, and Peter Schultz invented multimode germanium-doped fiber with a loss of 4 dB per kilometer and much greater strength than titanium-doped fiber. By 1973, John MacChesney developed a modified chemical vapor-deposition process for fiber manufacture at Bell Labs. This process spearheaded the commercial manufacture of fiber-optic cable.

In April 1977, General Telephone and Electronics tested and deployed the world's first live telephone traffic through a fiber-optic system running at 6 Mbps, in Long Beach, California. They were soon followed by Bell in May 1977, with an optical telephone communication system installed in the downtown Chicago area, covering a distance of 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers). Each optical-fiber pair carried the equivalent of 672 voice channels and was equivalent to a DS3 circuit. Today more than 80 percent of the world's long-distance voice and data traffic is carried over fiber optics.

(no replies) http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,5016,5016#msg-5016 You can easily install it on your Debian box by using the Debian Lenny backports repository, which is a repository including newer versions of applications than the ones which come by default with Lenny. Just follow the steps below:
Add the backports repositories
To add the Lenny backports repositories, just edit as root your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line:
deb [www.backports.org] lenny-backports main contrib non-free
Make sure to save the file (Ctrl+O followed by Ctrl+X in Nano) and proceed to the next step.
Install the Debian backports keyring
As root, type:
apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
This will install the debian-backports-keyring package, adding the key to your trusted repository keys.
Update the package lists
Now, update the package lists as root:
apt-get update
And install OpenOffice.org:
apt-get -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org
This should be all. OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 should be now installed properly on your Debian box, and you can run it by typing openoffice.org in a Run box or opening a terminal application and typing openoffice.org.]]> maceiras Software Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:48:28 -0700 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,5006,5006#msg-5006 Dog-Slow repos (no replies) http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,5006,5006#msg-5006 down8ve Software Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:15:25 -0700 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,4825,4825#msg-4825 WINE.

Note to Debian/Ubuntu users: The packages included in the main distribution are currently very out of date. We're working on having the latest packages available officially from Debian/Ubuntu's servers, but until then we suggest you install the latest Wine by using our apt repository.

[www.winehq.org] - And here is howto itself. Just folow it. Not a dig deal just few steps...

Not realy big deal to install it. But you have to know what 'terminal' and 'root' mean. Or maybe not ;)

So, here we go:
1. We have to add new source for chromium in /etc/apt/sources.list
Start terminal, become root (type su and password when prompted)
After you are root type scite /etc/apt/sources.list. It'll open source.list file for you.
Add there: deb htt_p://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main and deb-src htt_p://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main and save file. (NOTE: Remove this _ in url)
That Hardy mean the same version of main packages as we use in Elive 2.0 (debian stable)

2. Type in terminal apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
to add a key.

3. After all this we have to update an information about packages and install it. So type in terminal as root:
apt-get update It will update info about packages
apt-get install chromium-browser It will install chromium-browser
apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree It will install codecs
apt-get install chromium-browser-l10n It will install extralanguage support (for inetrace of browser)
----------------------------------------------------------
That is it.

It is daily upgradeble branch. So you can update it daily (run apt-get update && upgrade in terminal as root)

NOTE: It is Not even beta it is developer version. Beta is a Chrome.
But, Chromium work just perfect.]]> DronAn Software Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:21:30 -0800 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,4697,4697#msg-4697 Google Chrome Webbrowser (12 replies) http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?33,4697,4697#msg-4697

Nice distro. It is fast (although 32 bit on my amd64x2 3800+ box where i also have ubantu 64 bit and had gentoo 64 bit on).

I could not change the size of the window titles. Maybe i have not found the conf tool.

Bc, Oxine and Xdialog did not start.

I also could not find the tool to change the screen resolution.

Xsane immediately recognised my epson all-in-one Stylus Photo RX640 (out of the box). The printer part runs as well with little effort (download pipslite rpm from epson-avasys; converted to .deb with alien and dpkg; i found eplite.ppd that made the printer working with correct colors; the epson driver from gutenprint 5.1.3 works on my 64 bit distros but has a green haze and uses too much ink). This was a big surprise for me.

Cinelerra is starting fast. Here I see a difference between 64 bit under ubantu or gentoo and 32 bit of elive in the real time rendering during playback (seems normal to me and nothing to do with the distro as such).

No issues with my nvidia graphics card. 3-d with the nvidia driver was installed out of the box : nice !

Is there a 64 bit version planned ?
