When someone says ideology, I often, think « church » and all its derivatives : zealots, blasphemy, etc. An healthy ecosystem has diversity is hackable and makes it possible to have different outcomes.

1. Prehistory: « Open » being a kind of underground culture for a very long time became finally famous. Circumstances of the society, new priorities, new generation of people (geeks) helped to achieve that.

2. The age of iron: For anything which is successful at a macro level in the society come the second generation of people who want benefits of it. First they are the initial « believers » who were living from another activity and wants to live accordingly with their beliefs. It is the first shock and the first softener of the ideology. They have to make compromise with the other markets of the ecosystem. It’s when we start to hear *pragmatic* discourses. Few of them will be successful and then will start bending some rules.

3. The age of industrial revolution: The ecosystem of is here and there are a lot of secondary activities and people. Some people who were not believers but who were just mere employees of the believers. This includes marketers, businessmen, business angels, etc. They want to make a living, they want to invest into it. A lot of tools are available and people using them don’t even know they are the byproduct of this original philosophy. Some people think we have to be careful and keep a minimum of the principles and they organize control organizations (certification, labelling, etc.). It can even reach the legal and political framework of the society.

4. The age of financial market: The original philosophy is gone, the system remains. Some of the original believers think it is a big success for the philosophy. Some getting older became a lot more flexible than when they were young. Some are angry (sometimes very angry) because the principles have been forgotten. They will fork, restart a small group (prehistory) or go on a deserted island and exclude themselves with broken flowers in their dreams.

This happens in many many social groups. Look at organic culture for example, or certain think tanks. It all depends on which levels you want to be, which matters to you. Global or local.

ImageSnap: Capture images from iSight and other sources from the command line

by karlcow

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.

DVRMSToolbox - Remove ads automatically from recorded TV - LifeHacker

by decembre
Some commercials are worth their short time commitment, but sometimes you just want to watch exactly 24 minutes of condensed television. Windows Media Center plug-in Lifextender does the job inside your hooked-up PC, while DVRMSToolbox runs through Media-Center-recorded files independently, and can then export them to more generally usable formats than Windows' somewhat locked-down system. (Original posts: Lifextender, DVRMSToolbox)

MD5SUM (Matéria)

by tadeufilippini (via)
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).

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU - Sharenator.org Original

by Spone
This is my favorite 4chan meme. I've spent half of my boring day in the office looking for the best rage threads and made this collection. I'd love to credit authors but most of them seem to be... anonymous. I found some of these on 4chan, some on sites like digg, reddit, some on google (and it wasn't easy to find something with unknown number of F's and U's in the file name), etc. These are the best of them in one place. Enjoy!

CSS Tools: Reset CSS

by mozkart & 1 other (via)
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others. The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on. In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Unifying the Conversations (Salmon Protocol)

by karlcow

As updates and content flow in real time around the Web, conversations around the content are becoming increasingly fragmented into individual silos. Salmon aims to define a standard protocol for comments and annotations to swim upstream to original update sources -- and spawn more commentary in a virtuous cycle. It's open, decentralized, abuse resistant, and user centric.

Methodology

We first created three different variants based on the original microdata proposal

Google n'embauche que le top 1% des développeurs. Google embauche tous les PhD qu'ils peuvent. Et pourtant, Google nous sort des "études" qui dès la première ligne nous font penser à un sondage Opinion Ways : une problématique exposée foireuse soutenue par des questions biaisée. Google : le JC Decaux d'internet.

Punch Coco de la Martinique - La recette Ancestrale de Mamie Nini Par Yves Galbi le mercredi, mars 25 2009, 19:27 - Recettes Antillaises - Lien permanent * bon plan antilles * recette antillaise Lors de mes dernière vacances, j'ai voulu absolument apprendre à faire le fameux punch Coco de la Martinique. Ma grand mère a accepté de me révéler sa fameuse recette. Donc un après midi, après avoir réussi à trouver 3 grosses noix de coco, nous nous sommes rendus chez elle !!! Aujourd'hui j'ai l'honneur de vous faire partager cette fabuleuse expérience via La recette Ancestrale du punch coco de Mamie Nini Punch Coco Ingrédients du Punch Coco: Si vous êtes comme moi (habitant la France Métropolitaine), j'ai proposé des produits de substitution qui ne dénature pas trop le goût original. * 2 boites de Lait concentré sucré * 1 kg de sucre * 1 bouteille de rhum Agricole 50° * 400 ml de Lait Coco (3 cocos secs) (pour ceux qui n'ont pas de noix de coco, prendre les conserves à base de lait de coco pure (surtout pas les boites de lait avec de l'eau à 50%) : ces boites se trouvent facilement en grande surface dans les rayons exotismes. • 100 ml d’eau • Cannelle • Zeste de Citron Recette du Punch Coco : Preparation PunchCoco * Mélanger le lait de coco, le lait concentré sucré, l’eau, la cannelle, le sucre et le zeste de citron. * Faire bouillir jusqu’à obtention d’une texture très épaisse. * Laisser refroidir 3 à 4 heures * Ajouter le rhum au punch et homogénéiser la solution. * Mettre en bouteille à l’aide d’un entonnoir et d’une passoire. Dégustation du Punch Coco : Certains le prenne avec un ou deux glaçons. Moi je conseil de le prendre pur car en fondant les glaçons dilue le goût. Mais bon à vous d'essayer et de me dire comment vous le préférez !!!

WOFF File Format

by sbrothier
This document specifies a simple compressed file format for fonts, designed primarily for use on the web. The WOFF format is directly based on the table-based sfnt structure used in TrueType[1], OpenType[2] and Open Font Format[3] fonts, which are collectively referred to as sfnt-based fonts. A WOFF font file is simply a repackaged version of a sfnt-based font in compressed form. The format also allows font metadata and private-use data to be included separately from the font data. WOFF encoding tools convert an existing sfnt-based font into a WOFF formatted file, and user agents restore the original sfnt-based font data for use with a webpage. In general, the structure and contents of decompressed font data should match that of the original font file. Tools producing WOFF font files may provide other font editing features such as glyph subsetting, validation or font feature additions but these are considered outside the scope of this format. Independent of these features, both tools and user agents must assure that the validity of the underlying font data is preserved.
