Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Sheesh, am I the thread killer today?

Nah, I was just over at the Opus thread....

[Slip18]

Another opus? I'll go check it out. This Harvest Fool Moon has everyone up in arms.

[LonePalm]

Must be an engineer (who can't sing....)

You are exactly correct, we are both engineers who can't (cant?) sing.

"It has been a rough and tumble week around here."

I was gone for a week. OPH is gone. That was an enormous surprise. Roebucks came back, and left. Darth is now gone (but that is no surprise to me).

Are there any others?

[Slip18]

Ahhh, be gentle with the lovely xs.

"Apparatus, Method, and Computer Program for Evaluating Multiple Null Forming Antenna Processors & Jammers."

[Argh]

No, Canadian would be with my wife's sister...

[MeekOneGOP]

but with the Lab work and the cat scan..."

LOL !! A classic......

[LonePalm]

It lets you evaluate an antenna design without actually building the antenna. It saves a lot of money.

It would have a commercial application if we still had all those microwave antennas all over the country instead of using fibre optics. A point source of interferrence is just a commercial equivalent of a jammer.

Interestingly enough, the critical portion of the code will fit on one page. It is a VERY elegant recursive call, if I do say so myself.
