  1. Re:SW Brodcast via DRM or DVB-S! on UN Supports OSS/Free Software In Developing World · · Score: 1

    Salve,
    please go to http://www.drm.org/ and see that Digital Radio Mondial is not BAD.
    Digital Radio Mondial != Digital Right Managment.
    Digital Radio Mondial allows 16-28kBit/s Broadcasts via SW, LW, MW (w=wave, not windows, ergo Short Wave, Long Wave, Medium Wave)

  2. SW Brodcast via DRM or DVB-S! on UN Supports OSS/Free Software In Developing World · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Salve,
    Open Source for the (developing) world would be good. One idee of mine is to broadcast a distribution via the Air (www.drm.org) or Satellite. Digital Radio Mondal allows to stream 16-24 kBit/s and Reciever should get RS232 or IrDA interfaces to receive Data like Programm infos, weather maps or vocabulary for languages.
    -IMHO it would be nice to broadcaste once a year a selection of Debian all over the world, and security updates from time to time.
    -A free DVB-S broadcast is IMHO realy no problem (e.g. every Sundy mornig 3:00h to 7:00h a.m.) Encrypted confing files and data could refinanciate such a broadcast.
    -A sw drm broadcast would be more expensive and would take more time, some weeks/month to broadcast the Debian selection - but it could be an alternative beside burning CDs and sending them with snail-mail all over the world.
    -Such a broadcastsystem would it make possible to install new software on manless wetherstations, "surface marker buoys" - scientists would have only to pay for ther config-files and own scripts and programs.
    -Beside open source Software the Broacast should include documentations, tutorials, important webpages, mailing-lists, newsgroups and even radio shows about open software ;)

    What do you think about this?

    Or how to produce the wafer than? Growing the silicion carbide on other material? Rob

  4. Re:Convergence - USE GSM(GPRS) for calculating ;) on A C Compiler For The HP49g+ · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Salve,
    I would call convergence when I use my mobile and a SSH connection via GPRS to use my Maple version of my home PC on the road. OK, your right the HP calculators do have a better keyboard and the display shows better plots, but why not use a HP calculator with SSH conection via mobile to the home PC? I would call it "mobile shell" that offeres much more than using maple *g*. There is a free J2ME SSH1 Client:

    BTW: Any chance to get a HP48GX programming manual, today? I borrowed it one guy - but he never brought it back ;(

  5. Data transfer rate? Flash/RAM hack possible? on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: 1

    Salve,

    I would like to know how fast the data transfer of NSLU2 box and other
    routers like the WRT54g but with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 is.

    BTW WRT54g & Co has a Broadcom BCM47x2 chip with only one 100
    MBit/s Ethernet - so using them as 100MBit/s to 100 MBit/s Router will
    IMHO reach only less then 50 Mbit/s.
    OK when some Wlan-Routers with Broadcom BCM47x2 and USB like the
    ASUS WL-500 (USB 1.1) and the Netgear WGT634U (USB 2.0) make it
    possibe to add a hdd via USB, too. Why not hack them (too)?

    Howto add more Flash/RAM?
    see my question at Home / Little Linux systems & single-board computers
    (SBCs)
    "Any Flash/RAM upgrade Howto? I like to hack small/cheap BCM47x2
    (WLan)-Router"

    http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/board/UltraBoa rd.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=sb\
    c&Post=254

    But Flash memory is quite expenise - IMHO would make more sence to have
    a solution with an usb-memory-stick. Is there a chance to hack a bootchain
    with usb-support that the selfbuild kernels are booted from usb-stick? Can a
    kernel A boot a kernel B? How? Consider that kernel A sound be flashed
    once and never be upgraded, new kernels sould be stored on the USB
    stick, so the kernel version from A and B becomes different in the future! I
    found only:
    "I'm fighting from another angle. I have a kernel booting another
    kernel working for an SMP kernel. Now if I just need to get it to work
    for a SMP kernel when more than 1 cpu is in the box and I'll be in good
    shape "
    http://www.linuxbios.org/faq/archive/0632.html
    -So could a kernel A boot a kernel B and how?
    -Any other boxes based on Broadcom chips with USB support?

    Greetings
