I believe that we should discuss the issue of civics right away. The Pirate Bay is going to have to create a brand new government, and I believe it is our job; no, our destiny to help accomplish this goal.

>>What are the responsibilities of an editor when he's on a shift?
Slashdot editors are responsible for reaching quotas during their shift:
1. Up to eight, but no fewer than one post indicting Microsoft for imagined or real assultations.
2. No less than one post with a title that is only acronym-based (A.B.) or a group of acronyms that are acronym-based.
3. Up to four, but no fewer than one cliché involving lasers, sharks, snakes, Russia, or tubes that are internet-joke-bait fodder.
4. Up to six, but no fewer than one top ten list(s), about any number of subject(s).
5. Up to four, but no fewer than two posts praising the completely likely move of Linux as to this planet's primary operating system.
6. No fewer than two posts that site current scientific discovery or probable future discoveries which may no be grounded in reality.
7. No fewer than one post speculating about products by Apple.
8. No fewer than one post that begs the question whether or not Google is evil.
9. Up to nine, but no fewer than two posts that may be tagged *bigbrother*.
10. No less than one post that refers to the MPAA/RIAA.
11. Up to four, but no fewer than four slashvertisements.
12. Up to six, but no fewer than three redundant posts.

I don't disagree that a shotgun approach to sending data over multiple frequencies is a good thing. I know because I tested devices that used that type of data transfer when I worked in wireless R&D. The results always showed some sort of interference. It's how much service loss that the customer will tolerate that is the real benchmark not the result of less than 1 packet in 100,000,000 in a lab using the spectrum for only one service.
Unfortunately, since most people desire a completely wireless lifestyle and there are a fixed number of frenquencies in this spectrum, sometimes collisions are going to happen. IMHO, I think this block is a boon to wireless-ness, but it does have it's potential drawbacks.
Wires are not immune to interference either, but at least there are concepts like shielding. I'd like to see a little more involvement with the IEEE to get that warm fuzzy "this is like shielding" stamp of approval. The working group's withdrawl does not boost my confidence in the vendor's ability to play nice within this spectrum.
Ultimately, time and popularity will tell if this is just 2.4GHz redux.
Q5. What is CSM?
A. A Common Signaling Mode (CSM) for Ultra-wideband Radios has been contributed to the IEEE. In general the UWB Forum is supportive of contributions that will move the down-selection process forward. In specific terms the UWB Forum is supportive of developing a single standard that allows compliant UWB devices to use various different radio designs, yet still allows all compliant devices to interoperate and coordinate their use of the shared UWB spectrum.
UWB Standards Group Calls It Quits
REVIEW DATE: 19-JAN-2006
By Mark Hachman
Unable to resolve a deadlock between two competing proposals, the IEEE working group responsible for the ultrawideband technology threw in the towel Thursday.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.15.3a task group (TG3a), which oversaw the formation of the UWB standard agreed to withdraw the Jan. 2003 project authorization request that formed the group. Instead, the two competing technologies - MB-OFDM, championed by the Intel-led WiMedia Forum, and DS-UWB, promoted by Freescale Semiconductor and its UWB Forum - will be left to fight it out in the marketplace.
You're right. A correlator. At least two of them. And look: They *compete*.
Unregulated Frequency is unregulated. Meaning that as soon radios for that spectrum become a commodity, anyone can and will use the spectrum for any type of communication they choose.
Dude, Google for stuff when you have a clue. Otherwise, shut up.
The standard calls for link reliability of at least 95 percent, packet error rate of less than 1 in one hundred million, interference resistances for microwaves and cordless phones, and the ability to process three or more HD streams at 10 meters.
From Intel's Website: In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that UWB radio transmissions can legally operate in the range from 3.1 GHz up to 10.6 GHz, at a limited transmit power of -41dBm/MHz.
Unregulated frequencies are historically hot beds of interference. Does this 1 packet error in 100,000,000 include the use of a 5.8GHz cordless phone near by. Not to mention multiple UWB devices like wireless USB. I'd like to know how this technology was tested to understand how they calculated such a low error rate. Have we learned anything from the 2.4GHz spectrum?

OK. For the sake of discussion, what is this "correlator" that you speak of?
Also, how does this coorelator work with 5.8GHz devices?
I don't disagree that a shotgun approach to sending data over multiple frequencies is a good thing. I know because I tested devices that used that type of data transfer when I worked in wireless R&D.
