    No, it's NOT ENCRYPTION. It's ENCODING. I can go out, buy a DSTAR radio

    and its called Dstar, only way to "legally" decrypt it is to buy decryption module from DVSI or whole radio from Icom.

    Dstar is a proprietary, patented and closed protocol using another patented and closed vocoder (ambe).

    Dont worry, those coal plants are GREEN, because a percentage of burned fuel is biomass/renewables. When they say biomass they actually mean freshly cut trees.

    Most people on alibaba speak Cantonese (at least electronic retailers), but mandarin is going to dominate in the end.

    I know its cantonese, most of electronic suppliers in shenzhen speak cantonese (and some will call you that behind your back), but mandarin is all around more popular and sooner or later we will all speak it. Besides it would be guizi and not laowai.

  16. Re:Broadcom don't deal with little guys on Update: Raspberry Pi-Compatible Development Board Cancelled · · Score: 4, Informative

    They won't even talk to a little player, or anyone else who is unlikely to place an order for large numbers of chips.

    They need to realize that big players start out as little players. I remember seeing an interview of Steve Jobs, and he was asked why they used the 6502 in the original Apple. He listed several technical advantages of the 6502, and then said that none of those factors had anything to with their decision.

    No, his actual words were:
    "fuck if I know, my nerd did all the technical bs, I could sell you insurance and I wouldnt care less"

    Maybe you were referring to the Woz interview?

    They used the 6502 because Motorola had given Woz a free sample.

    the one where Woz said they used 6502 because MOS, and NOT motorola (motorola was busy trying to sell $300 chips), MOS sold 6502 at $25 out of a jar at Wescon in single quantities with no NDA/moq

    you know, this one :
    http://www.textfiles.com/apple...

        "WOZNIAK: In 1975 an 8080 microprocessor cost $370 and you could only get it
    from a distributor set up to deal with companies, not individual computer
    enthusiasts. The 6502 was introduced at Wescon with a unique marketing
    approach (thanks, Chuck Peddle) and was sold over the counter (like register
    chips at the local surplus stores) for $20. I bought mine from Chuck and his
    wife themselves."

    No, question is very simple, WHEN did earth started heating up? Was it 100 years ago when we fired up thousands of coal plants? or maybe it was 12K years ago when last Ice age ended?

    Thats not what Im asking. When did average global temperatures started to rise? Its simple really, you look at the graph and pick a point transitioning between falling down/steady flat and going up. When did that happen? Was earth at steady temperature/cooling down 10 years ago? 100 years ago? 1000 years ago?

    Stop arguing with strawmen. I really hope you got upvoted by shills, because the alternative is that some people have actually bought into the propaganda, which sickens me to consider.

    The science that is settled is:
    a) The average global temperature is rising

    sooo, when did that start? 10 years ago? 100? 1000?
