Atelier Hypermédia -Ecole d’Art d’Aix en provence
L’atelier Hypermedia enseigne la conception d’images, de programmes et d’animations informatiques. l’accènt est mis sur la construction de dispositifs singuliers et experimentaux, plutôt que sur la maîtrise de logiciels ou de procédés standardisés : les étudiants sont invités à construire leur propres outils, par le biais de langages simples ou complexes tels que BASIC, Logo, Robolab, Lego Mindstorms, C, Lingo, Cocoa, Javascript, Actionscript, Processing, MySQL/PHP, ou Java. L’atelier Hypermedia ne voit pas de contradiction dans l’idée d’un travail plastique de la programmation. L’atelier ne fait pas de distinction entre low-tech et high-tech. les supports de création peuvent aller de Macintosh à Windows, en passant par Gameboy, Atari, Palm, PocketPC, Apple ][ ... L’atelier s’oppose à toute notion de sous-traitance, et préfére travailler avec les autres ateliers dans une logique d’interfaçage.

High Pages/Sec & Disk Transfers/sec, in the Citrix XenApp / Presentation Server forum on BrianMadden.com
BTW, Just a small rant... The Notes back end is way better than exchange. We were running 2000 users on One domino server with no issues. We have invested in 10 servers for outlook and over a mil in emc consulting. Personally I’m dumfounded at the decision to switch.
Oui mais Exchange c'est top : en plus des problèmes de performance côté serveur, on a les mêmes côté client avec cette bouse d'Outlook !

scraplab — The Scruffying of Print
So you design things with high tolerances and gentle failure modes which still look OK when everything isn’t quite as expected.
This is something that print is going to have to get used to. Slightly messier, with a few more bad line breaks and unbalanced columns.
Between Mission Statement and Parametric Model: Places: Design Observer
Manque de culture des étudiants, environnement protégé, vouloir concevoir plus vert et plus social mais sans avoir la connaissance du terrain. Shahn dans « The Shape of Content » recommandait à tous les étudiants d'art d'aller travailler dans les champs pour comprendre la terre, sa couleur, sa matière, l'aspect social.The project also didn’t much consider the crews of low-wage farm workers that would be needed to plant and harvest the crops of the ambitious vertical farm; presumably these crews would share elevators and stairwells with the residents of the market-rate condos above.

Sibe 2009
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.

Coming At You Like A Pydermonkey at Toolness
Pydermonkey’s mission is pretty simple and straightforward: it’s just meant to wrap Spidermonkey’s C API as faithfully as possible—including its debugging API—while enforcing the memory safety that Python is known for. This makes it awfully low-level for casual programmers, but thanks to Python’s awesome support for magic methods, it’s not hard to create high-level wrappers that provide much more convenient bridging between JavaScript and Python code.

Reports | Global reports | HDR 2009 | Human Development Reports (HDR) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.
