  1. Re:Frequency hopping, spread spectrum ? on Promiscuity And Wireless LANs · · Score: 1

    Digital Sequencing Spread Spectrum or DSSS does
    not hop. A pseudo-random noise generator is used
    to generate what looks to the ordinary user as
    a random key. The key is then mixed with the
    data at a rate faster than the transmitted data
    speed. This will tend to spread the data so far
    out that it appears to most people as just rf
    noise. Unless someone knows the key and the rate
    it is mixed with the data they would be hard put
    in finding and evaluating the data sent. At the
    receiving end, the signal is compared to a signal
    generated at the receiver with just the key and
    xor'd (typically) to remove the key from the data.
    I've actually built a tx/rx pair as a research
    project. It is rather fascinating to see this
    actually work!

  2. Re:Quit blaming the "right wingers" for censorship on Bush And The Tech Nation · · Score: 1

    One word, propaganda. The media is owned by the Democrats. Just look at the
    way they reported/acted before, during, and after the elections. Total bias
    towards the Democrats. PROPAGANDA is alive and well in the US of A. Do not think
    it was only a tool for Hitler or Stalin.

  3. Re:Oh.. and MHz is everything? on New G4s Coming Our Way · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree with this author. MHz/GHz isn't everything in speed. For example, using SETI@home as a benchmark, my iMac G3 400MHz is almost triple the speed of our PII 450MHz CADstations at my office!!! Since SETI is very math intensive, the Mac is definately going to be faster, it was built for audio/visual stuff. The Intel crap wasn't built for stuff that is math intensive like audio/visual.

  4. Re:Nothing is Free on Florida Election Votes Certified · · Score: 1

    Interesting that you mention this. Here in Detroit I'd say the 'Big 3' paid for votes for
    Gore. Gore got the Teamster votes. Any big companies with unions voted for Gore. Hell,
    the 'Big 3' gave all their employees the day off to make sure they would have no excuse to
    go out and vote for Gore.

  5. Re:NMU on Massachusetts Universities To Require Laptops · · Score: 1

    Just had to say it, GO HUSKIES!!! Tech Rules! Alumni '98 I'm also against the laptop thing. I was around when NMU switched to one main computer lab and knew people there that told me how much harder it became to even gain access to a computer. Freedom of choice should be a huge issue here! Somebody is having there pockets lined with cash and it sure isn't the students here.

  6. Re:electronic valves on Electronic Valves For Diesel Engines · · Score: 1

    I'm glad somebody actually read the article here. I saw this a few days ago but decided it wasn't important enough to submit. Boy was I wrong, eh? Anyways, my friend's husband works for this company at the plant designing the engine. He is a motor design engineer there. They've already previewed it in one of there trucks at a local show even to show that it does work! If any of you have any questions I'd be more than happy to pass them on to him. Just need to email your questions to me at techgeek@linuxfreemail.com and I'll forward any replies he gives to here!
