dd-wrt logoDD-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.

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.

HTC Prophet 01HTC_Prophet: Currently sold as Qtek S200 / Dopod 818 Pro / Dopod 830 / Swisscom XPA S200 / O2 Xda Neo / i-mate JAMin / Orange SPV M600 / Vodafone VPA Compact S / T-Com T-One TC 500

HTC Prophet is similar to the Magician, but with a little bit varied design, Windows Mobile 5, Wifi (802.11b/g) and a 2 megapixel camera. However, despite it performs at 200 MHz versus 416 MHz of Magician, it?s not slower – it just needs some tweaking for better handling of programs running, such as overclocking through OMAPClock.exe.
(The development version of the Prophet was codenamed HTC_Athena, but this changed when there was confusion between the HTC Athena and the Quanta Computer O2 XDA Atom.)

ArtCAM can very easily be used to create terrain maps from USGS data files. This has applications for Architects to do land studies and presentations, for museums and national parks for maps of areas they are in. The starting file format is called a DEM file (Digital Elevation Model). This file format contains a very large amount of information, which ArtCAM does not need. ArtCAM has no way to extract the information out of the file, so we need to use a piece of shareware called Wilbur to convert it. Then the process is similar to that use for lithophanes.

A: A dongle is a security hardware key that protects copyright and prevents software piracy and is used with the Speed Step software package. It is attached to your computer or server via the USB or parallel port. Dongles which affix to the parallel port are either black (network), white (standalone) or yellow (standalone). Dongles which affix to the USB port are distinguishable by number. Network dongles begin with GB1SW, standalone begin with GB2SW. The use of the dongle confirms that you are the authorised user of the software. Dongles are common with commercial CAD software. They do not interfere with security arrangements of networks.
