It is weird how a technique developed on second world war is still in use. During WWII some smart english could understand and use to england advantage the way german bombers guide at night. They used more or less the same idea Iran has exploted here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beams I am thrilled to learn what a fabulous income is war for US, and how easyly the mass media machine tricks US lambs to think what they need.

Just to make sure it is understood. There is no relationship between USB and RS-232 or RS-422/455 but the term "serial" on its name. RS-232 is not to be replaced any soon since it is simple, solid, easy and do not fails for what it is meant to be used. There is no replacement for it yet. USB is good at what it is, but it is not good at replacing RS-232. It is like plane replacing bicycles. Both are transports, similarities ends there. RS-232 will be left when ethernet interfaces get so interoperables that a single driver will be needed. Do not hold your breath for it. Even now some devices are setup using broadcast and carefully crafted packets. Would be nice to know that IPv6 has reserved a network for that, but I do not think that something so usefull is to be done.

As usual, big CO test where nobody cares if they die, get blind, etc, and then *when the right time has come* sell where they need. Africa, raped continent. Has had medicine, technology, and many other breakthroughs before anybody, for free. Many times, they kill, but, who really cares? The article makes me *sick*.
