I have vivid memories from earlier films I watched that were "Technicolor" maybe that was magic trip inducing too.

If you use the device outside its intended purpose and that purpose is clearly discernible then it has to be your cost. If I take my regular car rallying and the suspension breaks it is hardly reasonable for me to attempt to claim repair under warranty. The car was built for the road not 140mph down a bumpy unmetaled track. If I fit a nitrous kit to the car and it pops a cylinder good luck proving it was a build flaw and therefore a warranty claim.

You don't do any good dieing for your country/cause/purpose but through the willingness to die in the all costs achievement of strategic aims that do benefit and to which you join the effort of achieving.

As for the twit somewhere above about the tyrannical British, go get a better grasp of the history.

The obvious reason to make it removable to me is to reduce the resource any target will need. IE must be just about the biggest none essential part of Windows if you were attempting to produce a smaller core that could be used more widely?

Bluetooth is a channel hopping transport. Where it and the other participants agree where to meet next with for the next portion of their exchange. But they only use one of the many channels at a time.

UWB I think still hops but hops using 10, 20 or so of the channels in parallel.

I think. Hence you get a fat pipe instead with some of the robustness benefits of the channel hopping approach.

UWB is I think now part of the Bluetooth spec and at least one company (CSR) that does BT has done good demo's of it. No idea if it is in any products yet?

That's pretty much my format too.

To not want it suggests they have no or see no need for it. And let's face it, man has survived happily (on the whole) for a long time without broadband or the internet.

I would argue people do act in their own best interests but qualify it to the limit of their understanding. At least mostly people do, some people are just lunatics.

Madonna has since adopted an even nastier tactic, that of producing such lousy crap no one will want to pirate it (specifically her most recent album!).

No it's OK if they don't share an antenna, gets really tricky if they do. (I'm in the vicinity of listening to lots of conversations about this sort of thing.)
