The Future Of Wireless Sensor Networks

Frisky070802 writes "In the 12/03 Wired, Intel's Tiny Hope for the Future describes a fundamental transformation as Intel's Research director David Tennenhouse realized the importance of sensor networks. He saw a Berkeley project on 'motes,' little sensors that communicate on ad-hoc wireless networks. 'The company now foresees networks consisting of thousands of motes, located wherever there's a need for data collection, streaming real-time data to one another and to central servers. Intel imagines the day when every assembly line, soybean field, and nursing home on the planet will be peppered with motes, prodding factory foremen to replace faulty machines, farmers to water fields, and nurses to check on something unusual in room E214.' Intel was impressed enough with the technology to fund a whole 'lablet' to develop it. Intel sees a huge potential market in developing both the sensors and the computation to process the huge amounts of sensor information. If this rings any bells, note that the Intel lablets are also behind the Planetlab Internet emulator, previously discussed in Slashdot."

    How to suck cock (for gay men and straight women):

    I love blow jobs. Not just getting them, but giving them. It's a pretty amazing experience. I may not be typical for a man, but straight women generally have an even stronger aversion from dick sucking than straight men. Females not only don't know how to suck dick, they don't want to learn. They don't own the equipment, they don't understand the male drive, they don't know how a blow job feels, and they don't know how penises work. In fact, while many women have experimented with dick sucking, 90% of them don't like or don't want to try sucking dick. That's unfortunate because they are missing out on a rewarding experience. Likewise, their men are missing out on a very exciting experience. Let's face it, if you want to receive not just a blowjob, but a blowjob, you probably want a guy for a partner. Unless, of course, this guide helps transfer the carnal knowledge of pleasuring a man from a gay man to the straight women out there. If not, I hope to at least transfer this knowledge to another gay man out there. :)

    The penis is one of the most wonderful parts of the body to suck. Nothing can compare to its size, shape, texture, warmth, taste, and its response to touch. Female breasts are rather inanimate in comparison. Their only redeeming qualities are the nipples that respond to touch, but guys have nipples too, so it's not an exclusively feminine part of the body.

    It is important to give yourself a weekend of privacy the first time you try to suck off a guy. You may not be able to the first time and will need extra time the next day or two to try again. If you don't give yourself a weekend, you can end up failing and then next time you have a chance. You will make the same mistakes over again because you will not remember what mistakes you made the previous time.

    You probably have noticed it's much harder to masturbate while standing up. It is much more difficult to get a guy off if he's standing up, especially if you've never sucked off a guy before. So, let your partner lie down on his back on a bed (or somewhere soft and flat). Use your own experiences of masturbation in private to guide you as much as possible.

    Notice how the dick is not completely cylindrical, but is slightly flattened? That shape is designed to fit perfectly in the mouth. There's no way evolution could have better designed a part for sucking. Note that the most sensitive portion of the penis is the length underneath the shaft. This should clue you in on how to position yourself to suck him. You will want to scoot yourself down so that you are 1) straddling one or both of his legs or 2) kneeling beside him or between his legs. Find out what works for the both of you.

    The underneath of his shaft should rest on your tongue and his penis should lie flat in your mouth. Once you take him into your mouth, try turning your head 90 degrees around his cock and you will notice that you will have to open wider to accomodate him. The wider you have open your mouth, the quicker you will tire, so make sure you align yourself for the most comfort. Likewise, your partner will enjoy it more if your tongue is in the right place.

    Lick along the length of the shaft and give the tip a few licks around the ridge of the tip. Have fun. Take his tip in your mouth and suck. You may want to hold his shaft down at an angle just enough to allow his penis to enter your mouth smoothly. By now, you may notice a drip of clear liquid forming at the tip of his dick. Some men produce a lot of precome, others a little, some none at all. Take a lick at it. It's sweet tasting and quite a bit different from come. Think of it as an appetizer. Once you are ready for main course, note that you do not actually have to suck like you would a drinking straw and probably shouldn't because it's very tiring. Instead, let your lips and tongue do the work. Some guys like a little bit of teeth, but be careful with them. Teeth are very rough, so the slightest touch goes a long

    Off topic, I know, but I wanted to spread this new one on that I heard. :-)

    ----

    Going back several years - to the late 80s in fact - one user at a place I worked was a "committed Christian". I began to suspect that she should
    have been committed when she suggested to me that her Macintosh SE/30 had been subject to influences from dark powers or that possibly Apple were in league with Satan.

    It took some time to get through the hysteria, but when I went to see her it became obvious that she was using the Mac for non-work purposes. She had bought a set of floppy disks from the States of "Christian Clip Art" and was trying to edit one of the images for her church magazine. Sadly she did not realise that the floppy disks were (a) full and (b) locked and she didn't have the wit to copy the file to the HD of her computer. So she opened the file, edited it and tried to save it back on
    the floppy that she had opened it from. Which failed with a disk locked error.

    Oh yes, errm Satan, where did he come into it?

    Because when she saved the file she got a dialog box showing the message "Jesus could not be saved".
