Basically using a different firmware/snmp agent for a different ap based on the same chipset you can up the signal strength at no charge. It is risky however, so I take no responsibility blah blah blah. Maybe thats all the amp does is up the built in power..;)

More likely, he will probably slip right through before you, and you get stoped because of a filling. Kinda like this User Friendly commic (Apr 19, 1998).
Correct on both counts. The phassed array creates a 'virtual anteanna' by overlaping the signals of many simultanious annenate into a very thin beam. Think pencil width almost. So its as strong as the FCC allows, but its both omni directional in that it can point in any direciton it chooses, and directional in that its actuall beam is specicially directed towards nearly a single point in space, so it is also high power. Phassed arrays are really nifty.
I'm comming here late, but one of the cool benifits of phased arrays is noise cancelation. The signals recieved are directional in the same way that the signal sent is directional. And that means that noise from other directions cancels quite a bit. Thats how the thing can not only SEND singals 7 KM outdoors, but also recieve those releativly weak PCcard signals that far as well.
I was kidding, but seriously..
I think they would do it even sans mailing list. Its not like the addresses of schools are tough to get. What they are trying to do is to encourage the use of thier oeprating system in an environment where it can influence young minds. If they grow up on macs, they will buy macs when they reach adult hood. At least in theory. I've never seen it have a huge effect. But then again maybe thats half of why apple is still around today. There are easier ways to get a mailing list of teachers. What they are doing is advertising to school kids, and trying to get thier OS in that environment. And it will probably be only minorly effective, as it has been before.
Not such a bad idea. As I remeber the 'space elevator' concept's best working model was to use a large asteriod at the other end as a 'tether'. Do we have the technology and funds to do this? It could prove to be quite a boon. I wonder if the ISS could use it for anything..
Actually I find I can enter anyaddress/password to 'sign up' and it just lets you through. So type in a junk address and see where it is. You can confirm going there (not sure if that actually requires a legit email or not) afterwards. Happy meetups!
Heres a thought.. Could this be implemented in a bookmarklet? http://www.bookmarklets. com/ Is it just the formating of a random URL? I don't know much about the process or the coding, but if you can do it in HTML. It would be a pretty extreeme codeing challange of course as you only have 256 bytes to work with. Maybe a few 'throw away' logins you could use for a week or two, then replace them randomly from a page at the end of the week?
The flashy lights werent so bad. But they were on a black background. And there was a looping soundwave also. I think these people are focusing too much on HOW to communicate, and not WHAT they are communicating..
Well being you can compress 100% random data 100:1 then theoretically you can compress an infinite amount of information into a single bit. You have to ask yourself, how much is all the information in the universion worth to YOU? Here it is: 1

This wireless network will cover 90% of India's population on a backbone of 60,000 kms of optic fibre.
I'd just like to know where they plan on buying 60,000 kms of wireless optical cable.

So the techs were lending a hand in an online forum..
Don't you mean scaring them OUT OF submission?

So are they trying to get better grades or something? The "Apple for the teacher" thing was out of style years ago.

On further examination this article is quite poorly titled..

" Laser powers 'paper plane'
Japanese scientists have developed a laser powered paper plane."
"The tiny plane is just a few centimetres across and made from folded aluminium foil."
Hmm...
Does anyone else think shining a comercial strength laser at a paper plane may not be the best idea in the world? Maybe its just me...
