You can't even FIND the page using their support search engine (a search on GPL shows no hits), and they're certainly not announcing it anywhere I've seen.
If you go to linksys.com and you hit "support" you end up here.
You must be talking about the search box at the bottom of that page. Look right above it. See that penguin? Looks a little like Tux, doesn't he?
I like easycalc for the PalmOS. it's at
easycalc.sourceforge.net. I think it does everything you listed, although I'm not sure about the ability to add new datatypes. Anyway, check it out.
You said:
"Walmart has shown on at least one occasion that they listen to their primary consumer base, when they replaced the modems in their OS-free machine with a linux compatible one."
just wanted to point out that Walmart likely had nothing to do with this, it was Microtel that
promptly responded to the linux community.
People argue about just how evil Walmart and Lindows are, but at least Microtel seems like an OK company with an OK product.
You look at the ratios of intensities of various spectral lines. The ratio of intensities of the i-->j transition and the i-->k transition in some particular atom is set solely by quantum mechanics. Since the potential energy appearing in Schrodinger's eqn for electron transitions is the electromagnetic potential, you end up with something that depends only on quantum electrodynamics. Which means you are measuring the one coupling constant of that theory, which is alpha, the fine structure constant. All the other dependencies drop out.
