Three Reasons Why I Won't Be Using Google Latitude - PC World
by karlcow
Hidding is revealing.Now, Google Latitude does let you limit how specific of a location any given person can see. Let’s face it, though: If you make the effort to get into a location-sharing relationship with someone, odds are you’re both going to reveal more than just your current city. And if you suddenly disappear from the map or switch over to showing limited info, it’s going to look a little strange.

Featured Download: FilePhile Transfers Any Size File Between Any Two Systems
by decembre
After registering at FilePhile's site with an email address and password, you grab and install a copy of the Java-based app, launch it, and add email addresses to your buddy list. Sending a file is a simple right-click on someone's name, but you can limit the bandwidth eaten up by FilePhile in its preferences. The transfers themselves are encrypted, and, as the site boasts, can be any size. That's about it, but that's probably all you need.

Google Maps API Tutorial
by srcmax
The goeocoder quota is now set at 15,000 geocode calls per IP address per day. The old 1.725 second speed limit per API key no longer applies, but there's a mysterious "limit to the maximum rate" mentioned here and here. At the time of writing, it seems that a 100ms delay between geocode requests works well for long runs. Shorter delays case more 620 errors and may take longer to complete the retries.

No, Seriously: Microsoft Patents Page Up & Page Down - GigaOM
by jpcaruana
Put this in the category of “you gotta be kidding me.” Microsoft has applied for and received a patent (U.S. Patent #7,415,666) that essentially patents “Page Up/Page Down” functionality. The patent (Timothy D Sellers, Heather L. Grantham, Joshua A. Dersch) that was filed in March 2005 is yet another proof that our patent system is as (if not more) dysfunctional as Britney Spears.

Throttling qmail SMTP receive bandwidth | www.enchantedage.com
by camel
I wrote the program "throttle.c," which you can insert into the tcpserver chain of commands for a qmail smtpd server. It takes one argument: the number of kilobytes per second to let through on the incoming file descriptor. Throttle does not throttle the outgoing file descriptor, because that's usually just status from your mail server.
Additionally, throttle will set an alarm, so that any session longer than 15 minutes will expire and disconnect. This affords some amount of protection against lingering sessions that eat up your parallelism limit; I've seen such sessions from presumably trojaned DSL machines connecting to the mail server to send spam.

PokerStove

Determining the odds in a game like no-limit Texas Hold'em can require some complicated calculations.
There many poker programs that can calculate poker odds. Most of these poker simulators use a general purpose algorithms to perform the poker odds calculations. This generic approach doesn't take advantage of the full range of possible optimizations. To explore the effect of global optimizations, a preflop evaluator which can fully enumerate complex preflop situations was developed. This "zealous" evaluator is able to compute an exact solution roughly 100 times faster than any general purpose evaluator.
PokerStove is the result of this work. PokerStove is a poker calculator for Texas Hold'em. It is currently available free of charge, with no spyware, spam or other annoyances. Download and enjoy.

Browser cookie restrictions

The most interesting fact I discovered is that Safari places no limit on the number of cookies that can be set per domain. In fact, you can set enough cookies on the client to cause a server error as the cookie header can be too long to parse.

by Titefee

Novlet is a web application designed to support collaborative writing of non-linear stories in any language. With Novlet you will be able to read stories written by other users, create your own ones, and choose the plot you like most from several alternatives.
Novlet stories are divided in passages, text sections usually made of a few paragraphs: users can continue stories or add alternative storylines by creating their passages after existing ones. The only limit is your fantasy.
