David Brin is a brilliant author, especially with his Uplift books. Read the Uplift War and the three or four or so books (lost count, I've read them so many times, I forgot how many there were.)
I mean like.. wow.
It can be MS's fault. They need to stop doing factory-line programming. They need better inter-org communications, instead of having some programmers write the same line of code over, and pass it on to the next programmer.
They may very well use radio, or other parts of the spectrum. Remember, the entire spectrum can be used for communications. Higher frequencies may be required for high-bandwidth transmissions.. but there is another factor that people never seem to remember. Energy. Transmitting on the EM spectrum costs energy. If they have sensitive receivers, they'd use less energy to transmit. If they used directional transmission methods, then they can spend even less energy. Our receivers are getting better, but those won't hear something that doesn't come their way.
My clearest earliest memory involves watching my 1 and two months brother running naked on Jones Beach on Long Island. But I've had flashbacks to memory where I remember nothing visual. Just audio and touch. You may think thats possible, but can you share a memory that does not have something visual in it? I have an incredible eyesight, but even with that, I accept that I can have senses telling me something independent of my visuals. I'm a very open-minded individual and I tell you, I think I remember being in the womb.
Whats wrong with the format used in mobiles(Celluar Phones?) They are very popular, and easy to learn format. I can type out complex messages on my mobiles without looking at what numbers I push. All of Europe is capable of this since many, especially the working class and the young'uns, use their phones daily and prefer text-msging people. Use the phone-layout. Its easy. David
Mmmm. Then again, I read too much. I thought it woulda been obvious from the article, but I forget that other people don't know the same things as me. Nor I them. To me, it was obvious because one, it spoke of RSA, factorization, and cryptosavvy.
My apologies for thinking I'm better than the lot of you.

Right. The people who would be interested by this article will know what NFS means in this context. Just because *YOU* aren't interested in this field, it doesn't mean that they have to make it more obvious to you. I'm guessing that you already knew from reading the gist of the post that they weren't refering to 'Network File System' and proally didn't interest you at all. So why complain about it when it has no interest to you at all, other than to find a flaw that only has a basis in a limited perspective. Acronoyms are meant to communicate more information in fewer words (or characters) to other people in the field.

Bah, can't even get at the site.. and I saw it first!

Excuse me for being extremely drunk, but I work and compute out of a bar. NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
