My bad.
I though it was Trolltech.
And the authors are all linux heavyweights...
(kernel guys, etc...)
Sigh...
Good april fools joke anyway!

With all due respect:
Bullshit.
Trolltech is the *author/owner*.
Trolltech can release it under any damn license they please.
YOU cannot take it, mod it, and rerelease under a different license.
They can.
Read the damned GPL.
Good april fools joke, too.
Correction: It's a rhombic.
It is usually set us as a wideband more or less omni antannae, and *still* has 27 db of gain.
It can be tuned to a specific freq, and made HIGHLY directional with FAR more gain.
Any QST readers have a back of the envelope design for 2.4 ghz tuned dual rhombic, max directionality?
This tuned setup would be rather large (30 feet or so)but it would be the RF equivalent of having Gods ear and Gods voice... on 10-100 mW of power.
Rhomboid(sp?) antennae can get up to 27db of gain (34?), and for 2.4 Ghz could be made a reasonable size. These are ideal for fixed installations, and the s/n can't be beat. They are as directional as it gets, and simple to build.
(Fot the uninitiated, 10db == 100x power
as in, parabolic has a theoreticasl 18db gain, so a rhomboid would have 9-10db (or 85-100x) more "goodness" for both transmit and receive, and no added noise. S/N ratio is golden...)
For Cringely, this might boost him enough to be able to literally use the bounce off the tree itself...
Slashdot Mirror
DARPAs mission has always been to push the limits of technology... Most any useful technology.
Ever hear of BSD?
A darpa project.
Pegusus?
The list is actually amazing.
Yeah, so people can rip off everyones work, and contribute nothing. Yeah, that's free. For the thief.
Yep. Lexmark printers even have some pretty GUI maintenance functions specifically for several models on Mandrake 8.2...Maybe 8.1 too, can't remember.
Microsoft...

I spent over a month in Germany last year, working at a customer site.
The Germans generally (at least the young to middle aged ones) are mostly tech savvy, have a clue about politics, and actually care.
Perhaps their government reflects the population?
Or maybe it's the beer. Yeah. Beer...Munchen ROCKS.
Yes. CUPS uses GS for the driver.

Great hack, Robert.

(Off to find my book on antennae design)
