okay maybe the analogy was the best but use your imagination. i think the idea of distributed bits of audio stream that can be reconstituted is still good.
i just had a neat idea what if you combined the function of the speak freely relay server, to get around the NAT issue, with bit torrent, to get around the bandwidth issue.
XaoS
is a really fun program to play around with for even on mathmaticly inclide people.
XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer. It displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and allows you zoom smoothly into the fractal. It uses lots of optimization techniques to save about 97% of calculations necessary to calculate next frame to make zooming as fast as possible.
i'm sure you all remember that first mac commercial where the woman through the hammer at the talking head. it might just be me but doesn't macs new ad campaign seem like they have now taken the role of the talking head.
i hope the pizza came out not tasting like plastic.
Re:So what does linux on a microcontroller offer?

Microcontroller Linux
·
· Score: 1
i'm currently working at a start-up company that is using uClinux in it first product. we choose uClinux over all the other RTOSs because linux is more than just a kernel. there are a lot of user applications that are realitively easy to port from linux to uClinux.
our product is a small gateway/server for small businesses. so we needed an os that was more than TCP/IP. are use of uClinux has allowed us to get a jump on our compatition. yeah, sure, our compation didn't have to wait for USB drivers but what are they going to do with the printers and disks without SMB (both of which we have working now!).
so here is our web site. you can look at our product.
it almost sounds like your describing a genetic algorithm. which i think can work pretty well in this situation. let see you could have each member of the population moderate with its points and then have people meta-moderate determine the fitness of the moderation. you would probably want to do significant training of the system before it went into public use.
hopefully the algorithm would evolve to be complex enough to avoid being taken advantage of by first posters. it also increases the possibility that comments get moderated fairly. it also backwards commpatable with the current system and can be slowly phased in, by slowly increasing the percentage of algorithms to people.
SPEED. thats one of the biggest problems that i am currently dealing with. the driver that i'm writing was first written for DOS then ported to VxWorks and then the guy who wrote it gave it to me to port to Linux. Besides me having to wrap up the fact that DOS doesn't have any of the modern OS features, like virtual memory, i can't utilize some of the special features that Linux has to offer like bottom halves, and the slab allocator. a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) will only get you as far as a mediocre preformance. i don't think any of us would settle for anything less than the best. i mean isn't speed the why Linux was written in the first place.

that was my hope and dream but sadly no it doesn't seem to index network drives.

when i'm not reading /.
here checkout filanet. for those of you may need a little encouragement to click on the link, our product will have these nifty features built in:
as for the internals it is uClinux running on a ARM904TMI processor with 32MB RAM/ 8MB flash all in a box that only 1U tall.
