ImageSnap is a Public Domain command-line tool that lets you capture still images from an iSight or other video source. You might remember Axel Bauer's original isightcapture tool (that is no longer supported but still works on most systems). With ImageSnap I hope we'll be able to move forward and add features, adapt to the ever-changing Apple architectures, etc.
A very wise systems programmer once told me: “Don’t guess. Measure.”
— a development environment for making digital art
Field is an open-source software project initiated by OpenEnded Group, for the creation of their digital artworks. It is an environment for writing code to rapidly and experimentally assemble and explore algorithmic systems. It is visual, it is hybrid, it is code-based. We think that it has something to offer a diverse range of programmers and artists.
Based on ideas started at the MIT Media Lab, Field was in development in-house for around 6 years. But for the last 16 months it has been quietly available online as an open source project. We are pleased to announce the initial "beta" binary open-source releases for Intel-based Macs OS X 10.5 or 10.6.
Create the mathematical and physical foundations for the technologies that will form a new information ecosystem, the Central Nervous System for the Earth (CeNSE), consisting of a trillion nanoscale sensors and actuators embedded in the environment and connected via an array of networks with computing systems, software and services to exchange their information among analysis engines, storage systems and end users.
What is the guiding principle to make an informed design decision regarding the direction of communication in such a replication scenario? The answer is separation of concerns with the goal of simplicity and avoiding unnecessary coupling. This leads to the question which of the systems should for which communication play the server role and which one should play the client role?

a systems programming language expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected
* Fixers. People that can repair existing equipment to maintain its previous function. (these people are the staple of almost all disaster fiction).
* Makers. People that repurpose existing technology through the implementation of alterations to change its function. A corollary to Makers are people that improve existing products/systems (make them more powerful/better/faster).
* Creators. People that create new tools or unique systems from scratch using raw materials (think fab lab hacks).
Recently InfoQ did a good summary of the debates around the apparent (to some) limitations of REST when it comes to creating good Web services. At issue is that REST APIs seem to expose "CRUDy" services that fly in the face of years of good services design, particularly when they are just read/write interfaces instead of the richer, full REST architecture (more on what this is later.) The discussion was spurred by Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz's assertion recently that CRUD is bad for REST, which in my opinion is close but not quite right.
And so for 20 years now these folks --- *the* shining lights, in many ways, of "practical" programming language, operating systems, and general systems research --- have continued to fail to "get" the fundamental practical needs of everyday programmers working in The Real World.
You use more computers and operating systems to get your work done today than ever before. But how do you keep your files synchronized between them? Plenty of OS-specific tools can mirror folders, but you need something cross-platform and highly customizable. You need the 10-year-old command line file mirroring utility called rsync.

I have gathered some notes on my use of machine tag for biology taxonomy. So you can express easily the classification on web services using tagging (like flickr or del.icio.us) a machine tag that can be read by human and by machine (read information automated systems) :
Forterra Systems today announced the availability of RemoteOperations 3D Internet collaboration solution, helping organizations to continue normal operations in the event they are directly affected by the H1N1 flu outbreak.
Infrastructure provides the basic needs for society, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health and well-being of a society. For developing countries, the civil and environmental engineer are at the epicenter in seeking means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.
The current rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated with environmental degradation such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, etc.
In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, proper planning, implementation and verification exercises are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach. The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.
Matérias / Matéria MD5SUM Como verificar a integridade de arquivos puxados da Internet Por Fábio Melatti em 21/Out/2003 O MD5SUM é um programa de domínio público usado para verificar mensagens criptografadas e integridade de arquivos. Portanto quando as ISOs são feitas é usado o MD5SUM para que você possa ter certeza que a ISO que foi baixada é exatamente igual a que está no servidor. Por ser uma ferramenta de 128-bit te dá uma excelente garantia de que o seu arquivo está exatamente igual ao original, a menos que os md5sums sejam diferentes ;-), pois qualquer alteração em meio bit do arquivo resultará em um conjunto de caracteres totalmente diferentes. Quando o MD5SUM é rodado sobre um arquivo é gerado um conjunto de 32 caracteres, semelhante a esse: dddb5786219f57fef20b0ae3616afc67 isoqualquer.1.3-5.iso Pronto, agora que sabemos o que é e para que serve, vamos para a parte prática. As distribuições Linux por padrão já incluem o programa MD5SUM, por isso não há muito trabalho, basta abrir qualquer terminal e digitar: md5sum isoqualquer.1.3.iso E depois de algum tempo, afinal de contas estamos verificando arquivos de 650 MB em média, ele retornará um conjunto de caracteres, então é só conferir com o md5sum do servidor. É claro que agora vem a pergunta clássica, mas eu estou usando o Windows, como vou usar o MD5SUM? Ai você terá duas opções, existem aqui mesmo no Superdownloads versões de MD5SUM para rodar no ambiente gráfico do Windows e em janela do DOS, fica a sua escolha, as duas fazem exatamente a mesma coisa. Usando a versão para janela do DOS é só ir para a pasta em que está a ISO e dar o mesmo comando acima, como no Linux. Se você tiver o problema de limite de caracteres com o nome do arquivo do tipo, 8 caracteres para o nome e 3 para a extensão (8.3), renomeie o arquivo para outro nome similar que fique dentro desses limites. Caso queira mais opções com o MD5SUM, digite: md5sum -h Na versão gráfica antes de mais nada é necessário instalar o programa, depois rode e escolha a pasta onde está a ISO e clique em "create sums", vá tomar um café, e depois de algums minutos você verá um monte de números e letras na frente do nome do arquivo, é o seu md5sum. Dicas importantes Caso o md5sum da ISO que você baixou não bater com o que está no Superdownloads, antes de apagar e começar a baixar novamente, verifique o md5sum do servidor de onde você baixou, por exemplo, se você utilizou este link "ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/Mandrake/iso/Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso", é só tirar o nome do arquivo e abrir no seu navegador, ficaria assim esse link "ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/Mandrake/iso/", lá estará a relação das ISOs e o md5sum. É dificil, mas ocasionalmente pode haver uma pequena diferença nas ISOs de um servidor para outro, o que resulta em um md5sum diferente. Para fazer o download das ISOs é preciso usar o modo binário (binary mode), pois se for usado o modo ASCII (como a maioria dos navegadores fazem), com certeza haverá alteração dos dados durante a transferência e sua ISO será corrompida e o m5sum nunca irá bater. Por isso sempre utilize um cliente de FTP ou gerenciador de download com a função de continuar downloads interrompidos (muito importante considerando o tamanho dos arquivos) e que faça o download em modo binário (binary mode).

Parfois on peut invoquer l'ignorance ; mais pas toujours. Alors on doit faire appel à la stupidité.
In the 1960s and 70s research chemist and amateur photographer Derek Fairbrother made over 20 photographic time-lapse sequences showing the demolition of old buildings and their replacement by new buildings and road systems in Birmingham city centre.
Adobe BrowerLab gives you the ability to preview and test your websites in multiple browsers and operating systems. Since building a website to be cross-browser compatible is one of the more annoying aspects of web design, this should be a valuable web app to all of us.
