Beyond Pringles: 802.11 Antenna From A Floppy Disk
real gumby writes "Shades of E.E. "Doc" Smith! Thomas Gee has made an 802.11 antenna from an old floppy disk and a paper clip. He credits this site for the inspiration (featuring an antenna from an old ice cream spoon). As MacPlus comments: "It's stylish, effective, and doesn't detract from that `everything computing' ambience in your home."" Warning: French. Update: 06/07 18:27 GMT by T : (Not Fremch ;))
Will your phone/speak and spell/record player/bent fork/string antenna run linux? If not you best be getting out of these parts...we dun like yer kind.
Do you know just how telling that statement is? When I lived if France 11 years ago, MacGyver was all the rage among French teens.
Just be sure to wear the gold uniform when you beam down -- you know what happens when you wear the red one.

Would you mind substantiating your opinion with facts? Real facts, not plausible, but absolutely unfounded might-be-might-nots, like the invisible weapons of mass destruction.

No longer.

> and we will continue to be a world leader
The United States' militant insistence on that is the cause for much of the world's current woes. If the US so desperately need to triumph and celebrate themselves, i see no problem with it; but please do it at home and leave the world at peace.
You have fallen to a misconception... nobody envies the US' wealth, but many fear the US' meddling. The open aggressiveness, the readiness to ignore international treaties and conventions, war, bombs, foreign intelligence, you get the picture.
