Only CDMA2000 is based upon CDMA the standard. UMTS is based upon GSM. TD-CDMA is a completely new system and isn't based upon anything. It does use "CDMA the technology", but it certainly isn't related in any way, shape, or form to IS-95.
You misunderstand. UMTS isn't exactly a radio standard, more a collection of standards that give approximately similar performance. Currently, those are TD-CDMAand W-CDMA. W-CDMA is deployed more or lessd everywhere, because it is simpler to implement, but some countries like South Africa have deployed TD-CDMA under the UMTS banner.
.. with my Open System Wireless, with MAC address access control, but at least my intruders will be using a better class of operating system, on which you can easily spoof MACs.
Script kiddies using canned cracks on me from Windows machines would just make me feel dirty.
*sigh* I guess some people miss jokes even when you append a smiley to them.
For the pedants amongst you, we calculated the total energy output of a 25m^2 solar installation, and divided by our estimated idle energy usage (which includes the odd light bulb, idle computer equipment, TV, etc. on standby) for 24h to get the percentage figure.
I don't know why we bother putting our money into these centralised energy projects. Why not just mandate that all houses must have photovoltaics and solar heating installed?
We just had solar heating installed, which works great even in sunny Britain. Photovoltaics would be more expensive (20K UKP expensive) but we calculate that they could provide about 120% of our idle energy needs, so at night the grid would actually have to pay us!:) The payback period would be ~ 6 years we estimate.
Just a little more thought, and the government could easily reach their European targets at little cost to themselves, and with no new R&D.
