LOVELAND - ABOUT
by 4004
Based in Detroit, Michigan, LOVELAND is all about creative new concepts in micro payments for micro ownership and use of land. It is building frameworks for many people to invest and participate in the creation of something where nothing was before, and to interact with places both in person and online in various unique ways.
Starting with the smallest unit of American measurement, the humble inch, the first LOVELAND "colony" is a 10,000 square inch grid called Plymouth. People are invited to purchase these inches for a dollar a piece. When Plymouth is full it will move outdoors from its temporary home in Detroit's Russell Industrial Center and the next colony (or colonies) will appear.
ZamfBrowser - Home

ZamfBrowser allows developers to unit test ZendAMF Service classes via an Adobe AIR application. Implementation requires a simple edit to the ZendAMF gateway file that allows ZamfBrowser to introspect your server set up and provide access for all classes and methods registered with the Zend_Amf_Server object. For version 1.0 the ZamfBrowser AIR source code is still closed, but it is intended to go Open Source as soon as the source code documentation is complete and a couple of features are implemented that are still in the pipeline.
Convertbot - Tapbots
by sbrothier
Convertbot
Convertbot is a unit conversion robot. Convert currency, length, mass, time and much more in an exciting new way! Converting numbers will never again be a mundane task. In addition to its innovative interface, our robot is smart enough to convert to and from mixed units. Are you 5 foot 9 inches tall? Other converters require you to convert that to 5.75 ft in your head before being able to enter it. Convertbot allows mixed units like Foot + Inches, Pounds + Ounces, and more!

How to Use DVD Shrink - Quick, easy-to-use guide for those unfamiliar with the DVD Shrink program.
by decembre
Recently, compressed domain transcoders have reached quite some popularity. These transcoders are based on algorithms designed to recompress an MPEG-2 stream in real-time for TV broadcast. These programs can transcode an entire DVD movie in only a few minutes, because they do not have to decode and re-encode the entire video stream, but only part of it. I will not go into a detailed explanation of the mechanisms used as they are quite involved but basically what you get is a size (and hence quality) reduction per time unit that cannot be rivaled by regular MPEG-2 encoders (though the latter category can yield better quality). DVD2One was the first program to be based on these principles, now DVD Shrink is the first free program to offer this functionality.

The system has an onboard SATA controller without RAID functionality, but there’s a variety of additional storage controllers supporting up to RAID 10. The basic network adapter is an embedded dual Gigabit NIC, which can be accompanied by various single-, dual-, or quad- port Gigabit cards. For server management, customers can use the baseboard management controller and one of optional iDRAC6 controllers.
Dell’s T310 features the Matrox G200eW GPU, a DVD drive, optional PowerVault tape or hard drives for backups, and five PCIe Gen. 2 slots: two x8 slots (one with x16 connector), a x4 slot (with x8 connector), and two x1 slots.
Power supply options include a redundant 400W and a non-redundant 375W unit.
On the front of the chassis, the 20.5 inches deep tower server has an optional LCD screen for system monitoring.
The new PowerEdge comes without operating system or with one of Windows Server, Windows Essential Business Server, and Small Business Server editions, as well as with optional Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The starting price for the Dell PowerEdge T310 is $949, with the 3Yr Basic Hardware Warranty included.

scalacheck - Google Code
by jpcaruana
ScalaCheck is a powerful tool for automatic unit testing of Scala and Java programs. It features automatic test case generation and minimization of failing test cases. ScalaCheck started out as a Scala port of the Haskell library QuickCheck, and has since evolved and been extended with features not found in Haskell QuickCheck.
