If you're interested in the PIC microcontrolers (specifically the 16C/F84) then visit my web site, the PIC archive. It hasnt been updated very recently but contains a lot of usefull stuff. Try it: http://come.to/thepicarchive.

But everyone knows the best way to transmit data is through bio-neural gel packs, cus they organise data so well. And as for processing it? well, duh! no trapping photons, you simply put a big Itanium bugger inside a low-level subspace field... allowing the electrons to move faster. Some people, eh?

Look, its inevitable that as something that started free of commercial interest, and grew because of its ability to allow people to openly share information becomes larger and more important the companies will take over the web. I mean, its banner ads everywhere, already. Only the pick of the crop of non-commercial sites (Slashdot, par example) will continue. And people will no-doubt move on. Though, i suppose that is only how i see the web to continue. The internet as a whole? evidently, everything that uses power will end up with an IP address, one day. Cell phones will operate always in their new switched mode data fasions, and phone calls be routed across the 'net to other phones, or applinces with IP addresses. Maybe even your remote control will turn your TV off with a new ICMP packet (type 20: volume up).:-)
I forsee this to be the future of the net. It is true that everything that people deal with in their day-to-day lives involves the transfer of data. Be it a phone conversation, watching television, compiling a document: the internet will grow to be the distributed architecture that supports this.
This would seem a big advantage to Itanium's future. I would imagine that Intel are especially pleased to see this kind of thing going on. Does anyone know how sponsered the Itanium Compile Farm is, by Intel? Of course, this kind of thing lends itself SO well to linux/unix. Acheiving this with, windows, say would require so much more resources.

True, but the question really pertained to wheather or not a mobile could replace a normal landline. I suspect that a similar 1% may have difficulty getting a copper line to their homes in such areas.

Cunning Advertising: lie and get slashdotted

Boo No More
·
· Score: 1
Firstly, as for those who would say that their site is 'over-flashy' I disagree. Its easy to find what you want from the catagory lists on the main page: once provided with a list of matches you can simple look along the list until you see something nice. Upon clicking it you can get in detail looks at the product and even dress up a web-manakin in a cool outfit. Then, add it to your 'boobag' and sorted. Of all the online clothes buying sites i find boo to be one of the most intuitive to navigate.
However, it is true that until recommended by a friend I dont think id ever heard about boo.com, dispite being an avid online shopper.
Now, that isnt a problem, they just got some of the best advertisment they could possible hope for, they got Slashdotted!. And any other online news site will have details of this: Id love to see some stats on their web server from about the time this was posted on beutiful/.
Having phoned their 0845 number, and asked for details i was told to 'check on the website on monday, for an announcement'.
Ahh well, any other suggestions for classy online gear in the UK?

I dont know if you are in the UK or elsewhere, but here in england most mobile companies allow for you to have two phones on the same account/bill. So.. if you are planning to have a contract phone with a monthly change you dont pay much more, and you can get discounts etc...

That cell phone converage is spotty in the US really dose suprise me. Here in the UK, on the Orange network (99% coverage). When outdoors i have only ever lost two calls. Both times in a very low area (altitudem, that is) (Orange have a very high frequency slot, well above that of the other mobile people: vodafone, one2one, bt cellnet). Unless it a thick walled building, or im at the center of it, I also find similar excelent coverage indoors as well.

Dispite the fact that this implementation is well, illegal, underpowered etc... I suspect that this kind of thing will become very popular in the future. Being able to log onto the net, select a programme and have it delivered to you inbox in, perhaps, MPEG format makes a lot of sense. Of course, it lends itself to the natural progression twards totally personalised, on-demand TV.

At the end of the day, does MPEG not provide: a) good quality compression,
b) pretty much platform independance. There is a suitable viewer for every platform,
c) streaming support,
d) good (urghh, wrong terminology here) scalability.
I think it does, and I resent all these goddamned Real format or Quicktime movies: they are simply not neccesary . Just slap your content through a nice, simple MPEG codec and you have a file viewable by almost all. I welcome the MPEG. 'tis good.

Electrons travel at the speed of light.
NoThe speed of a system should not depend on which of these are used.Is there something I am missing?
YeahAre there intricicies to the matter which make opticle better?
YeahWould one method produce less heat than the other?
YeahOr is it all hype because its just something new that people can have optimism about?
NoIf children can ask, then so can I:
Hmmm, i guess that one makes as much sense as the rest of your post.--
