Sanjeev Guugle and the Semantic Web

The question was simple. Why can't we put a transistor radio in a laptop and use shortwave to guarantee internet access at all times. The answer was constrained by the ionoshere. As though shortwave radios have ever cared about that.

A transistor is two planks of a gate measuring the flow of water at a friendly point in the stream of data. The first plank's angle measures the relationship of the current
flow with the composition of currents that created the current... current...

So, a transistor preserves the barest signal definable (determinable) in a signal stream.

A transistor is a relationship between its emitter and its collector. The collector ostensibly "collects" charge until the base acts as a switch completing the circuit. The emitter then measures the resultant charge. But does what with it? Well, what MUST be true is that the emitter must know something about the base so that it can determine, from the resultant data, exactly how much of a charge the collector contributed... for whatever reason military science requires this level of precision...
we'll get into speech rec shortly...
