ZigBee Low-Power Wireless Networking
asmithmd1 writes "Do you you have a great idea for a wireless device that really doesn't need the 1 Mbit/sec (and high power consumption) of Bluetooth? Well you will have a new choice soon, ZigBee. Zigbee is the trademark for IEEE 802.15 Personal Area network low data rate standard. Designed to run in low power 8 bit devices at data rates of 20k bits/second, a ZigBee node will run for months if not years on one set of batteries. With heavy hitters like Motorola and Phillips behind it and chips available soon for half the cost of bluetooth, it looks like it will become a reality."
frist poist?
lamefilter suckorz!!!

A. You are a bottle of vinegar.
B. You are a female, and have just, if not recently, douched.
My new LCD flat panel monitor has a stuck pixel!!! Oh wait...it moves... Slashdot has a white dot under it's banner ad... What gives! I demand a refund, or at least a refurbished Slashdot!!!
Note to the grammar nazis out there: I misused "it's" for "its".
Preview sucks.
Write boring code, not shiny code!
mit trolls don't work too well at this hour. all the students are out partying and getting lai... erm, mit... never mind...
A female on Slashdot... LOL
Holy cow... why am I feeding the trolls?
It could be that you are healthy and your urine is acidic. Unless you have an renal tubular acidosis and spilling bicarb into your urine, your pH should be acidic... and healthy.
It could be that you are healthy and spilling ammonia into your urine...
Most likely you just ate something that is making your urine smell that way. You should try drinking a sip of the urine and see if you can tell what you ate that is making it smell that way. Your urine should taste very similar to whatever you recently ate.
(Of course, your urine is completely healthy to drink. It is bacterial free and won't hurt you one bit.)
It's an old medical school trick.

You are all missing the big picture. Many of us have been predicting it and now you are seeing it come to life: insane US "intellectual property" laws, a patent system run amouck, and copyright laws completely written - and now enforced - by corporations, are going to destroy this country's place in the world.
Corporations don't care about geological artifacts; corporations don't care about people aside from their ability to generate revenue. We've already seen (in proverbial spades) how willing and able corporations can move from place to place. In their path they exploit every resource they can find until it is utterly exhausted; when US borne technology is no longer cost effective the world's corporations will not hesitate to use those derived elsewhere.
In short, life will go on - it always does. But in the process the US is quickly losing it's lead in the technology marketplace.
Can't really say I care. In fact, I'm kinda laughing because americans in general seem to be so incredibly fucking stupid and apathetic on these matters they're getting exactly what they deserve. But it is surely happening - from linux to AVS streaming video to "zigbee" wireless, the west is about to vividly realize what it means when you pass laws that encourage job migration to other nations WHILE passing laws that, at the same time, make your technology more expensive than any other. You might as well just raise taxes now and get that final nail driven while there's still someone here to dig the grave.

"Derp de derp."
That is so true, I don't even know why I didn't think about it!!!!!
MOD PARENT UP!!!!!!
