The main idea is to create a reflector.
For even cheaper version You can also use cardboard+aluminum foil or as a reflector.
Even a straight object like frying pan will boost the signal a bit. Although it won't be directed to the place you are expecting... it will work after some adjustements of the position.
I'm glad to see Croatia doing well afer the Yugo breakup in '91. Choosing Open Source leads me to think that the folks in charge there are awake and looking to keep things efficent and Open. Open Source, Open Society.
They definetly aren't.
As a croatian, I can confirm that Croatia is run by corrupt politicians and tycoons.
The folks in charge aren't awake, well... not true exactly. If they can get some international contract for one of their private companies, they will. Otherwise, they do what EU folks tell them, putting away a couple of dozens millions for rainy days.
ps... if he people in Croatia have any extra politicians available I would like to borrow 1 or 2 (dozen) for a few years. Rent or lease options possible.
Why would you want to be auto-destructive?
There's a joke regarding Croatia joining EU:
- croatia joins EU. Number of croatians employed in Bruxelles EU institutions: 5
- 2 years later. Number of croatians employed in Bruxelles EU institutions: 25
- 5 years later. It's Croatias turn to lead EU for 6 months. Some countries got out of EU. Number of croatians employed in Bruxelles EU institutions: 250.

I agree. How much would the transition cost? It would definetly be worth it. And btw. what would greenpeace do then?

World domination, like now, except they've got China on their ass.

I can't believe a slashdotter could be this naive.
Imagine this: starting from tommorow, we get a cold fusion reactor. Remember "Chain reaction"? - for you, an explanation, a glass of water could power new york for 2 weeks. Ok, so we got a working cold fusion reactor. Let's make the schematics and all R&D available for free on the Internet. OPEC would not exist within a YEAR. How many jobs would be obsolete? 1 mil? 2? maybe 20-30? Nevertheless, the world is depending on OIL. Politics are DEPENDING on OIL. Just remember that one guy invented a tire that couldn't be torn. How many lives would be saved? How many companies would go bankrupt? How many jobs lost? So please, don't be so naive.
Seems that the responses seem to only know the second half of that.
Your effort to educate me is astonishing, not to mention replying to a totaly off-topic post.... which brings me to the conclusion that you're one of the MOLE PEOPLE.:-)
ok. those are the large samples...
if you want to help nasa (or nsa) compute the stardust microscope data (or echelon data) you can do that soon on Stardust@Home
I'm just happy that new propulsion technologies are being researched.
Put an atomic power generator driven by one of this babies and let's take off for Mars.
Cell 250 GFlops. Nvidia's latest GTX 7800 - 200 GFlops.
Ok, ok. first is CPU, the second one is GPU.
too bad we can't use GPU's for distributed computing though.:)
Cell has 9 cores. Intel want's his power-consuming, thermal dissipation-unfriendly processor with 32 cores out in 2 years.
32 cores.
32 cores.
anybody getting me?
WTF? Can't they just DECREASE wasting of electrons between transistor gates?
MIT or Boston or X university have developed a way to decrease this waste by 2 or more times...
If he's not, he should end up on everyone's shitlist. Punishing the kid for telling everybody to press F5, come on... Does the defence have anyone who knows what Internet is?
Ellen and Tom Cruise... reminds me of SonyEricsson in James Bond where the new cell phone controled the new BMW 7. Anybody seeing a pattern here?... and all of that just for the re-launch. It looks like the market Yahoo-Microsoft-Google Internet market is getting even tighter. Who will prevail among this giants?
Anyway, this year should be entertaining seeing that the first strike has been launched.
"...To put it another way, Apple is just bit larger than Cadbury-Schweppes and about the same size as Nike or Marks and Spencer in terms of annual sales..."
Apple influences IT market as much as AMD or Intel do. Sometimes even more.
I would imagine a *hitload of cash, or they just compensated with workstations:-)
Anyways, how strong power supply does a system like that need? 650W? (and I mean real 650W, not that JNC crap).

That firm threatened me/my site also. Bastards.
I just hope it will work as-advertised with IFB

This is one of the things that mole people started and are waiting for the right time to RULE THE EARTH! :-)
solid iron or superheated :-) liquid iron ?
It happens in every industry. Too bad they're gonna sue each other ASAP. Spending money curing people and developing nanotech is just a dream.
Reentry fire 10 cm in front of you? With the shuttle, astronauts at least don't have to look at the fire right in front of their face.
...A programmer making $35k/year in the US...
Where does this theoretical programmer live? Alaska?
35k a year for a programmer in US? Yeah. right.
