WiB - ultra wideband efficient UHF broadcast

[[Teracom]], inspired by earlier research {{cite journal|author1=Yiyan Wu|author2=Bo Rong|author3=Khalil Salehian|author4=Gilles Gagnon|title=Cloud Transmission: A New Spectrum-Reuse Friendly Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting Transmission System|journal=IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting|date=21 June 2012|volume=58, Issue: 3|pages=329 - 337|doi=10.1109/TBC.2012.2199598|url= http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6222350/?arnumber=6222350 |accessdate=25 June 2017|publisher=IEEE|issn=1557-9611}} , introduced a new system concept dubbed "WiB", that aims to improve [[frequency reuse]] in the [[Ultra high frequency|UHF band]] while at the same time enable savings in both operating power and capital expenditures costs. {{cite conference|author1=E.

Faster horses

This is the problem with gossip . Lack of a web of trust signature scheme  or a CRC  allows information distortion at each hop. Stemming from the clever analogy in 1999: "if Henry Ford canvassed people on whether or not he should build a motor car, they’d probably tell him what they really wanted was a faster horse." many people nowadays tell the story as if Ford really said that. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Henry_Ford#.22If_I.E2.80.99d_asked_people_what_they_wanted.2C_they_would_have_asked_for_a_better_horse.22 http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/07/28/ford-faster-horse/

Participatory cloud computing - help cure cancer?

How come so few donate their free resources to volunteer computing projects ? Depending on the exact computer configuration, the difference in system power consumption between using and near-idling the CPU (~35W-80W) or GPU (~30W-100W) can be reasonably small . The difference is usually smaller than the difference between a power efficient (25-60W) and a basic system (100-200W). Hence in my view, it usually worths it to put your free resources to use in some way if your daily work does not strain your machine continuously at 100%. There's an a project of special interest that has similar aim to what I have invented earlier: It is special in that any participant can freely use the communal grid for their own purposes . Prioritization is fair - it is based on previous record of contribution. This type of project is also useful for the selfish kind, as if you think it over, you can eventually get back the contributed CPU time and energy, but at a much faster pace. It would stil...
