I remember an article from Science News years ago that had a cover story about fireflies synchronizing themselves with each other. There was a picture of a tree with fireflies in it (on the cover), and the article told that if they stayed around each other long enough, they would all blink at the same frequency. I thought that that was a pretty neat thing at the time. I wonder if there's some underlying connection between Huygen's sympathetic oscillations and the firefly phenomenon?
If anybody remembers the article and wants to let me know what issue it was, I can try looking it up. A search on their website produced no results, so I'm guessing that its pre-96.
But with meaning.
What I don't understand is why wireless technologies keep going for new standards. If wireless providers are moving towards PCS (requiring a tower every 1 1/2 miles or so), why don't they just adopt 802.11 for their devices, and get 11 Mps throughput? That sure beats trying to cram everything into a new standard for people to have to adopt.
This is really the best book on PHP I've found. I like the authors' approach to the subject, and the way the material is presented. It's very useful to just about anyone writing a web page these days.
