    What is DD-WRT?

    What is DD-WRT?

    [i found this info from DD-WRT Wiki]

    The current web interface of DD-WRT
    The current web interface of DD-WRT

    DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many ieee802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design. For a list of supported devices, please see the Supported Devices page.

    The firmware is maintained by BrainSlayer and is hosted at dd-wrt.com. The first versions of DD-WRT were based on the Alchemy Firmware from Sveasoft Inc, which is in turn based on the original GPL'd Linksys firmware and a number of other open source projects. DD-WRT was created directly from Sveasoft's software decision to start charging for their firmware, closing the door to opensource.

    At present DD-WRT is available for free although a different business model is being drafted by BrainSlayer in order to pay his salary, as this is his full time job.

    The new version of DD-WRT (v24) is a completely new project. DD-WRT offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmwares of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware.

    Note: Beta firmware, by its very nature, will contain bugs. It is not recommended to install beta firmware on large networks that are used for businesses, etc. However, there is now a bugtracker in place for DD-WRT firmware located here: DD-WRT Bugtracker.

    Among other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the Kai Daemon for the Kai Console Gaming network, WDS wireless bridging/repeating protocol, Radius Authentication for more secure wireless communication, advanced Quality of Service controls for bandwidth allocation, and software support for the SD-Card hardware modification.

    More Future at DD-WRT v24

    Features

    DD WRT v24 more stable, more future

    DD-WRT is free Linux-based firmware for several wireless routers, most notably the Linksys WRT54G (including the WRT54GL and WRT54GS). It is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

    Many of DD-WRT's features are not included in typical router firmware. These features include support for the Kai network, daemon-based services, IPv6, Wireless Distribution System, RADIUS, advanced quality of service, radio output power control, overclocking capability, and software support for a Secure Digital Card hardware modification.

    DD-WRT versions up to v22 were based on the Alchemy firmware from Sveasoft, which in turn is based on the original Linksys firmware. DD-WRT versions from v23 onwards, however, are almost completely rewritten. The Linux kernel part is based on the OpenWrt kernel, which started as a Linksys-based firmware but later changed to its own build framework. All of the firmwares are based on Linux, as are OpenWrt and Alchemy.

    Through a partnership with Buffalo Technology, Buffalo will begin shipping routers pre-installed with a customized version of DD-WRT.

    The major releases to date include:

    DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on May 16, 2006. Much of the code was overhauled and rewritten during the development of this release, and many new features were added.

    DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 2 (SP2) was released on September 14, 2006. The interface was overhauled, and some new features were added. Some additional router models are supported, with more planned.

    DD-WRT v24 was released on May 18, 2008. It allows up to 16 virtual interfaces with different SSIDs and encryption protocols. There is support for some PowerPC, IXP425-based router boards, Atheros WiSOC and X86 based systems. There is also limited support for routers with low flash memory (ex. WRT54Gv8 or WRT54GSv7).

    DD-WRT v24 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on July 26, 2008. Urgent DNS security issue fixed for DNSMasq, Site Survey security fixes, longer passwords, and flexible OpenVPN configurations. New hardware supported, including WRT300 v1.1, WRT310N, WRT600N, Tonze AP42X Pronghorn SBC, Ubiquiti LSX and Netgear, Belkin and USR devices.

    Controversy

    In July 2006, the DD-WRT Shop started offering a commercial version of the router firmware built with additional, non-open source code.[3] It includes increased functionality such as per-user bandwidth control. Because the GPL license has a provision against binary-only public distribution of derivative works, this would appear to be a license violation, as pointed out by one contributor to the project.[4]Also around that time, the license text was changed to specify that some software components were not licensed under the GPL. The web interface, one of the non-GPL components, was encrypted to prevent its reverse engineering and rebranding.

    The person who released the commercial version wrote a response to these allegations in his blog and stated that the source code was in fact available.[5] The license text was reverted back to the unmodified GPL license.

    Ferrari company's sports

    ,

    Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.p.A.. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has enjoyed great success.

    After years of financial struggles, Enzo Ferrari sold the company's sports car division to the Fiat group in 1969 to ensure continued financial backing. Enzo Ferrari retained control of the racing division until his death in 1988 at the age of 90. Earlier that year he had overseen the launch of the Ferrari F40; the last new Ferrari to be launched before his death, and arguably one of the most famous supercars ever made.

    Ferrari also has an internally managed merchandising line that licenses many products bearing the Ferrari brand, including eyewear, pens, pencils, electronic goods, perfume, clothing, high-tech bicycles, cell phones, and even laptop computers.

    In 2007 the Financial Times put Ferrari at the top of its list of 100 Best Workplaces in Europe.

    Helicopter - Craft

    Helicopter or Craft

    A helicopter is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors, each rotor consisting of two or more rotor blades. Helicopters are classified as rotorcraft or rotary-wing aircraft to distinguish them from fixed-wing aircraft because the helicopter derives its source of lift from the rotor blades rotating around a mast. The word 'helicopter' is adapted from the French hélicoptère, coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amecourt in 1861. It is linked to the Greek words helix/helik- (ἕλικ-) = "spiral" or "turning" and pteron (πτερόν) = "wing".[1][2]

    As an aircraft, the primary advantages of the helicopter are due to the rotor blades that revolve through the air, providing lift without requiring the aircraft to move forward. This creates the ability for the helicopter to take off and land vertically without the need for runways. For this reason, helicopters are often used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft are not able to take off or land. The lift from the rotor also allows the helicopter to hover in one area and to do so more efficiently than other forms of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, allowing it to accomplish tasks that fixed-wing aircraft are unable to perform.

    Although helicopters were developed and built during the first half-century of flight, some even reaching limited production, it was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production,[3] with 131 aircraft built.[4] Even though most previous designs used more than one main rotor, it was the single main rotor with antitorque tail rotor configuration of this design that would come to be recognized worldwide as the helicopter.


    History

    Since 400 AD, Chinese children have played with bamboo flying tops. This toy made its way to Europe and is depicted in a 1463 European painting.[5] Pao Phu Tau (抱朴子) was a 4th-century book in China reported to describe some of the ideas inherent to rotary wing aircraft:[6]

    Someone asked the master about the principles of mounting to dangerous heights and traveling into the vast inane. The Master said, "Some have made flying cars with wood from the inner part of the jujube tree, using ox-leather [straps] fastened to returning blades so as to set the machine in motion."[7]

    Leonardo da Vinci conceived a machine that could be described as an "aerial screw".[8] He wrote that he made small flying models [9] but could not stop the rotor from making the whole craft rotate. Later machines would more closely resemble the ancient bamboo flying top, with spinning wings rather than screws.

    In July 1754, Mikhail Lomonosov showed the Russian Academy of Sciences a small coaxial rotor powered by a wound-up spring, intended to lift meteorological instruments.[9]

    In 1783, Christian de Launoy, and his mechanic, Bienvenu, made a model pair of counter-rotating rotors (not coaxial) using turkey's flight feathers as rotor blades, and in 1784 demonstrated it to the French Academy of Sciences.[9]

    In 1861, the word "helicopter" was coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt,[9] a French inventor who demonstrated a small steam-powered model.

    From 1860 to 1880, many small helicopter models were designed and made.[9] These included Alphonse Pénaud's model coaxial rotors, powered by twisted rubber bands (1870). Enrico Forlanini's unmanned helicopter was powered by a steam engine. It was the first of its type that rose to a height of 13 meters, where it remained for some 20 seconds, after a vertical take-off from a park in Milan (1877). Emmanuel Dieuaide's design featured counter-rotating rotors and was steam-powered through a hose from a boiler on the ground (1877). Melikoff designed a "man carrier," but it was almost certainly not built (1877). Dandrieux's design had counter-rotating rotors and a 7.7-pound (3.5-kilogram) steam engine. It rose more than 40 feet (12 m) and flew for 20 seconds (circa 1878).

    In the 1880s, Thomas Edison experimented with small helicopter models in the USA. First he used a guncotton-powered engine, but it caused damage by explosions, and tests were ended. Next he used an electric motor. His tests showed that a large rotor with low blade area was needed.

    Ján Bahýľ, a Slovak inventor, developed a model helicopter powered by an internal combustion engine, that in 1901 reached a height of 0.5 meters. On 5 May 1905, his helicopter reached four meters in altitude and flew for over 1,500 meters.[10]

    Samsung i550 Design and ergonomics


















    Design and ergonomics

    The candy bar form factor taken as a base for the device’s design might seem unusual as compared to the plethora of various sliders available on the market; this little comeback to a classic solution looks fresh and intriguing, seems like Samsung are looking for an extra audience comprised of people who can’t stand the slider form factor, and actually such customers make up a considerable number, looking for modern solutions that keep to the classics. The phone can’t be called a typical Samsung product judging by its looks only, it stands out from the rest of Samsung devices and that’s another advantage, making it more noticeable and originally looking. Some people argue that its design might be mimicking some of the Nokia and SonyEricsson devices up to the point where it invokes no straight associations with any particular brand in the minds of brand loyal customers and at the same time is equally appealing to the fans of Samsung, SE and Nokia as well - largely due to the intriguing, delusive design of the keypad and casing. The dimensions are very compact (115x53x13,8 mm), considering the screen size an analogy with Nokia E50 suggests itself - the both are comparable in terms of size (save for width), and the E50 model used to be the market’s most compact S60 smartphone (now this title is held by Nokia E51). The thickness is quite standard for a modern handset and can hardly arouse any reproaches. On the whole, the dimensions and build of Samsung i550 produce a very nice impressions due to the good balance and the easy feel it gives to your hand.

    Samsung i550

    The development and production of S60-based smartphones by the Samsung company has a long and rich history, the precursor of the now abundant S60 family being Samsung D700, a folder with rotating screen - ironically, it didn’t make it to the market due to a number of reasons and its commercial production was cancelled yet it remained a key product that served as a base for a few other smartphones like D720 and D730 which managed to enter the market, though too late to win good sales - so they were soon phased out. On the day of release the two devices’ specifications look rather appealing, but the delay in development completely negated their strong points in the competition with the rival products, so when the two entered the market they looked no more than just a couple of wallflowers posing little interest to the potential buyer. It’s not solely the prolonged development time that contributed to the low popularity of those, but the lack of reputation with the Samsung company as a smartphone manufacturer - in fact, there was little reputation at all since they were largely unknown in that sense. The tried and true Nokia smartphones were still largely preferred as a better choice since that company had been long known for their variety of highly functional smart solutions. Any comparisons between those and the ones offered by Samsung weren’t to Samsung’s advantage, and the current state of things isn’t much different.

    Samsung’s positions on the front of WM-based PDA phones look more challenging, however a number of persistent flaws among these products is to stay as ell. The solutions issued by the company in this market sector look quite competitive and balanced, comfortable and technologically advanced as well; The i600 and i710 models can be good samples of this, appearing rather successful phones yet sporting little demand on the actual market. This can be explained by the powerful PR influence of the RIM (Research in Motion) and HTC (HighTech Computers) companies a strong market presence of which can be felt respectively in USA and Europe. Samsung are trying to change the situation since the portfolio expansion is on the company’s priority task list and is vital to their corporate welfare. Even given the small demand on a limited number of markets, Samsung are trying to supply this demand with an adequate range of products. It was largely due to the wide product range that let Samsung occupy the second line in the world’s top phone manufacturers chart once again, and the Samsung guys don’t look like they are planning to lose the position in the predictable future. For instance, the new i780 has been recently announced, being the world’s first WM smartphone sporting a 320x320 display, let alone the high overall functionality.

    Samsung i550 screenshots

    But let’s get back to the Symbian and S60 platforms. The Samsung possesses a license entitling the use of the S60 hardware platform in their mobile products, though on the other hands the release dates of the respective devices are bound to the release dates of Nokia products sporting the OS version. Every sold Samsung smartphone counts to the financial benefit of Nokia as well, since Samsung are paying them royalties for the use of their platform. The third and the most grave factor is that Samsung are likely to appear promoting not their own solutions but rather increasing the ranks of customers loyal to that very specific platform, thus catering to Nokia’s interests in a big way as well.

    The Samsung i550 Specifications

    Samsung i550 General Specifications

    Battery: 1200 mAh capacity up to 6 hours up to 260 hours of standby
    Dimensions and Weight: 115x53x13,8 mm, 110 g
    Estimated price: 400 euro


    The Samsung i550 is the first GPS-enabled device from the Korean giant and it’s a great start. The quad band HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE S60 device features a 3.2-megapixel camera (AF w/ image & video editor), 150MB of internal memory, charging via microUSB, 2.6-inch screen, 128MB of RAM, dedicated hot keys, and a trackball ala Sidekick/BlackBerry. Something is going on with Google on this one, but everyone at Samsung is tight-lipped.

    The smartphone market, as the most dynamic and rapidly expanding one, poses a great deal of interest to all of the manufacturer companies, and Samsung’s activities in this sphere have been on a peak during the recent months. As it was already mentioned, the critical factor crippling Samsung’s smartphone strategy is the delay in development ending up with new models having morally aged prior to their release dates. Even nowadays this process can be observed in a number of occasions. The i520 model announced at the last year’s decline looked like a real winner and had no direct rivals by that time, as you might probably remember it was a stylish slider sporting a touch keyboard based off the latest platform build (S60 3.1), but it hasn’t been until September 2007 that it entered the market as a publicly available product. Its marketing perspectives now doesn’t look that bright, it’s sure to be phased out and replaced with more forward-looking products over a short period of time due to the estimated low demand. A simplified version, teh i400, was announced at the S60 summit in Madrid, the planned market entry in June failed - the sad dilemma that the product is facing now is either being sold an insufficiently low price resulting in low revenues or suffering from a severe lack of customer demand. That’s clearly understood by the manufacturer - that’s exactly why a large number of new Samsung devices are planned to be introduced to the market in the nearest future during Q4. Even the slightest mistake in advertising, positioning or marketing may lead to an even bigger between Samsung and Nokia on the smartphone market, and filling this gap would become a task next to impossible. A few new smart handsets aimed at winning Samsung new market positions were announced, comprising i450, i550, i560 and i570, each of them having exclusive features unique solely to that particular model.

    The first a music-oriented double slider with large stereo speakers providing for an unmatched sound quality and volume, the last one is a slider featuring a QWERTY keyboard, and the two remaining models i550 and i560 are basically the same device (in terms of functionality) but utilizing different form factors - a candy bar and a slider correspondingly. The i560 model hasn’t been officially announced yet but its announce is expected in the nearest future; the solution offers a wide range of features brought together inside a compact body offered at a reasonable price, thus making a product without any direct competition (save for one peculiar device we’ll dwell upon later). As a specimen of the new generation of Samsung smartphones, the i550 deserves a much closer look to let you get acquainted with all of its merits and advantages.

    Howto Install Leopard on HP 520 Notebook

    How to install Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on HP 520 ?

    1. Set Your BIOS

    The most difficult part of getting this installation to work with my board was getting the right BIOS settings in place. In the course of figuring it out, I made a lot of different small tweaks, so to ensure I didn't miss any, I've taken pictures of every relevant BIOS screen. If you're using the same board as me (an Asus P5W DH Deluxe), just go through screen by screen and make sure that your BIOS settings match mine. If you're using a different board, these settings could still serve as a good guide, but they may not perfectly match up to yours. (I'm having a tough time remembering every BIOS setting I tweaked, so if you're using a P5W DH
    Deluxe, your BIOS settings match mine, but you're having trouble, let me know and I'll try updating the gallery with more BIOS screens.)

    Now that you're BIOS are set, it's time to install.

    2. Install OS X with the Kalyway Install Disc

    Floating around the BitTorrents, you'll find a disc image called something like Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 SSE2 SSE3. Download it and burn it to a DVD—it's what you'll use to install Leopard. If you're going to pursue this I'd still recommend purchasing an actual copy of Leopard, but you won't need it here.

    Basically this DVD contains the Leopard install disc along with the EFI software that lets your hardware work with OS X using the vanilla kernels—which is a big part of why you don't have to do any of the command line hacking this time around. You just install the disc and voilà—everything boots up and upgrades normally (or at least that's been my experience so far). So assuming you've built your computer using the original instructions, you've got the Kalyway disc, and you've already prepared your BIOS, you're ready to install.

    First, boot with the disc. The disc boot up can take a few minutes, so you'll need to be patient.


    Before you go ahead with the installation you need to format your hard drive, so once the disc boots, go to Utilities -> Disk Utility in the menu bar. Find the hard drive in the sidebar you want to install Leopard to, select it, then go to the Partition tab, and select a 1 partition volume scheme, name it whatever you want (I called mine Leopard), and choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. Now click the Options button to set the partition scheme. You can choose the partition scheme as either Master Boot Record or GUID (in my previous instructions you needed to set it as MBR). I used GUID.

    kaly-welcome.pngClick Apply, let it complete the partitioning, and then quit Disk Utility and head back to the Installer. Hit Continue at the Welcome screen, agree to the terms, and then be sure to hit the Customize button before proceeding with your installation. Here's where the point-and-click magic of this installer comes in.

    This install package comes with individual settings that match specific motherboards, and one very well supported board is the P5W DH Deluxe I used in the original build. Rather than telling you which checkboxes to tick, just click the screenshot above for a look at all the settings you'll want to use if you're installing OS X on that board.

    When you're all set, click Done and then go ahead and Install. When the installation is complete (it'll take a little while), let your computer restart, pop out the install disc, and sit back in wonder as Leopard runs on your PC in full 10.5.1 glory.
