  5. Re:Brainwash 2001 by ksheff · · Score: 2 · on New (Ancient) Civilization In Central Asia

    It looks like U of Pennsylvania archaeologists are busy in central Asia digging up stuff that may change history. Yesterday, I found an article about U of Penn's Dr. Victor Mair's research into 3000 year old Caucasian mummies found in western China. It too suggested that history would need to be re-written w/ reguards to when the Chinese first had contact with the West and how technologies that were previously thought to have been developed by the Chinese in isolation could have been imported. It is interesting to see what the Chinese have done to stiffle this research (DNA samples had to be smuggled out) and how some people are trying to downplay it because of past colonial expansions and Nazism.

    I submitted it to Slashdot, but I guess this one was better because it was 1000 years older.

    Luckily we have more time. It's only the year 936AD and as soon as we realize it, we'll set all the unix clocks back.

  7. It's like switching from copper to fibre-optic by twilight30 · · Score: 1 · on A Different Kind Of Digital Divide
    Think about it theoretically. Switching to digital means greater efficiency in conceptual terms. The commercial aspects of this tie in closely to the efficiency argument - more stations can be crammed into the same part of the transmissible spectrum.

    Will this mean better broadcasting? Eventually, yes. Coincidentally, this point is taken up by a Canadian columnist in this week's Saturday Night, a supplement of the National Post.

    In real terms the argument loses some degree of force as a new, parallel digital network has to be created to take the place of the old -- in other words, the investment required is huge, and oriented to the long term view, not the short term. I believe your country's problems with this have been documented in issues of Wired but I'm having problems getting the link (search for 'Reed Hundt FCC') -- and the experiences in Canada, Japan and the UK are roughly the same.
