Is there any native-to-Linux system for lightning detection and mapping?
The last time I searched (a few months ago), the best I found was some
software which ran through a sound card (good, I have an unused onboard
card), used homemade antennas (OK), and ran in VB (definitely NOT OK).
Is there anything better out now?

Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one
stops. The other says, "What's wrong?" "I've lost
an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!" |

How would this do any triangulation?

You'd have to share data with a close-by person, presumably with a
common, highly accurate, timebase. Least, that's how another product I
looked at worked. Unfortunately, it used VB.

only one point and were discovered by Euclid, who lived in the 6th
century, which was an era dominated by the Goths, who lived in what we
now know as Poland." - from Nov. 1998 issue of Infosystems Executive. |
