UWB Wireless Access Could Be Here Soon
fluppy88 writes: "802.11b doesn't have anything on UWB. With a potential of 1000M bits/sec it blows the pants out of 802.11b and doesn't eat up the tightly controlled spectrum. This article on CNN gives an interesting introduction to UWB, another candidate in the future of wireless." It was mentioned here a while ago, but much more mired in controversy about whose idea it was. Now there are several companies which seem anxious to get products based on UWB to market -- if it's approved.
Hello?
I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.
