The compression doesn't have to delay anything. As bytes arrive, you send them and start compression dictionary searches in parallel. When the compression process actually gets ahead of the signal generator,/that's/ when you start sending the compressed form. Best of both worlds. Well anyway, I'm approaching the problem that way for the linmodem code and I hope it works.:-) enjoy, -- Jamie (secret linmodem developer)
You can feel good about helping to move technology forward. Don't feel guilty because people starve. Instead, do your thing to help. If that means advancing technology which promotes freedom and knowledge, then by all means get on with it. If it means being a greedy bastard, do that. You might be helping. If it means something else, do that instead.
I invite you to decide how you're going to better your world, and get on with it. Remember, we all share the world, we each have different roles we are able to play, and none of us has the individual capacity to solve all the problems we know about.
The people who go out to voluntarily feed the poor and hungry are angels. But they are not the only angels. The systems which cause misery in this world are complex, and so are the solutions.
We don't know what they are. But we have gut feelings, and minds to make sense of them.
Educate yourself, and with your best knowledge, do what seems like the right thing to you.
The web can help in your learning. It can help North Korean soldiers in their learning too.
