The IO Warrior 40 is really cool. Works as an HID device in OS X, comes with source code for interacting with it.

The Spartan phalanx presents itself to foes as a wall of shields, bristling with spears, its members squatting behind their defenses, anonymous and unknowable, until they break formation and stand out alone, practically naked, soft, exposed and recognizable as individuals.

The audience members watching them play the same game: media-weary, hunkered down behind thick irony, flinging verbal jabs at the screen — until they see something that moves them. Then they’ll come out and feel. But at the first hint of politics, they’ll jump back behind their shield-wall, just like the Spartans when millions of Persian arrows blot out the sun, and wait until the noise stops.

What is the Beryl Project?

Beryl is an OpenGL accelerated desktop that seeks to provide a free, open source desktop experience to the community that reflects the wishes of the users. Above all else, the project seeks to listen to and respond to the requests of the user base.

Beryl is a combined window manager and composite manager written in C using OpenGL to provide acceleration. It is designed to be highly flexible, extensible, and portable, all the while keeping in mind that the users know how they want their desktops to act better than we do. With Beryl the rather esoteric concept of the computer desktop is brought down to a more human level, allowing for a more native and intuitive understanding of your workspace. To learn more about Beryl and its features visit our Feature Spotlight.

Beryl is a fork of the Compiz project, started by David Reveman of Novell. We continue to port new changes from compiz, and consider them essentially our upstream. Beryl could not have existed were it not for the heavy lifting done both server side by David and in creating compiz, which is the base on which all of our code is built, and which still comprises a large portion of our code, though this is likely to change as the 0.3.0/0.4.0 release cycle gets started.

Description

Everything you wanted to know about templating systems and didn't dare to ask. Well, not everything....

Introduction

Go on, admit it: you've written a templating system. It's okay, nearly everyone has at some point. You start out with something beautifully simple like $HTML =~ s/\$(\w )/${$1}/g and end up adding conditionals and loops and includes until you've created your very own unmaintainable monster.

Luckily for you, you are not the first to think it might be nice to get the HTML out of your code. Many have come before, and more than a few have put their contributions up on CPAN. At this time, there are so many templating modules on CPAN that it's almost certain you can find one that meets your needs. This document aims to be your guide to those modules, leading you down the path to the templating system of your dreams.

And, if you just went straight to CPAN in the first place and never bothered to write your own, congratulations: you're one step ahead of the rest of us.

My choice is Template Toolkit with Catalyst.

ASProf is a realtime profiler for Macromedia Flash MX.

Welcome to test the document exploration tool WEBSOM. An ordered map of the information space is provided: similar documents lie near each other on the map. The order helps in finding related documents once any interesting document is found.

Developments
Since the start of the project the following main developments have taken place: creation of considerably larger maps, improved quality of maps, automatic labeling, and a possibility to perform searches on the maps.

NEW:

Self Organizing Maps: The coolest technology you've probably never used. What good is publishing a CS paper without source code?

Alas, Dr. Teuvo Kohonen has informed me that the rights to WEBSOM have been sold to Finnish company Gurusoft Ltd. You'll never get to play with it :(

The MIT researchers focused on a key property of ethanol: when it vaporizes, it has a pronounced cooling effect, much like rubbing alcohol evaporating from skin. Increased turbo�charging and cylinder compression raise the temperature in the cylinder, which is why they lead to knock. But Cohn and his colleagues found that if ethanol is introduced into the combustion chamber at just the right moment through the relatively new technology of direct injection, it keeps the temperature down, preventing spontaneous combustion. Similar approaches, some of which used water to cool the cylinder, had been tried before. But the combination of direct injection and ethanol, Cohn says, had much more dramatic results.

Neat.

Direct Port Ethanol Injection, Properly Times, Decreases Detonation, allowing you to increase compression dramatically

Cause for "A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly" alert
Issue

While viewing a Macromedia Flash movie in any Macromedia Flash Player environment (browser, standalone, or projector), an alert appears stating "A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly". Additionally, the message box gives the viewer the option to abort the script, as can be seen in Example 1.

Beware of trying to do too much in flash: this alert will kill you.

The man pages listed below are linked to the current Solaris Express Reference Manual Collection. You can view the man pages online by installing the Solaris Express Community Release (Build 27a or later). Make sure you install the SUNWman package.

ZFS is interesting because it is the kind of filesystem that everyone will be using in 5 years.
