by paulantoinem
When discussing John Cage's music, the word "anarchy" is never far away. There is nothing wrong with this, if the concept of anarchy is used discerningly, and if we remember that anything that l ...

Une technique CSS sympa de Google
by tonio78
Les feuilles de styles des thèmes iGoogle sont souvent assez innovantes. L’espace horizontal de la page est occupé à 100% quelque soit la résolution de l’écran. Malgré l’absence de fond uni, l’espace est occupé par des images régulièrement espacées avec de légères variations. Il ne s’agit donc pas d’un simple fond répété.
J’ai donc fait un peu “d’ingénierie inverse” sur certains thèmes d’iGoogle pour comprendre comment cela est réalisé. Cette technique ne concerne pas uniquement l’intégration XHTML/CSS. Pour concevoir ce type de page, il faut instaurer un véritable échange créatif entre les artistes, et les techniciens, ce qui manque à mon avis souvent.

LE CORPS DES FEMMES : GESTION - ÉLIMINATION
by rike_
Pour chaque être humain, et pour l’humanité elle-même, le corps est le premier ustensile (avant l’outil fabriqué), dont les usages, érotisme compris, sont objets de savoir et de culture. Dans les sociétés patriarcales, le corps des femmes est objet de plaisir et de pouvoir ; objet aussi terrifiant qu’il est fascinant, d’emploi malaisé et aléatoire. Le présent chapitre évoque certaines variations récentes, à l’échelle historique, de l’usage social des femmes, de la contention à la prostitution en passant par la médicalisation de l’orgasme et l’éducation sexuelle, jusqu’à la tentation « gynécidaire ».

RAID1 on Debian Sarge
by lecyborg
A RAID device is a Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The concept was developed in 1987 at UC Berkeley and involves the creation of a virtual disk from multiple small disks in order to deliver improved performance and reliability. There are many flavors of RAID and lots of variations in how to implement it. We detail here a specific instance we use: software RAID1 using IDE disks on a Dell PowerEdge box running Debian "sarge" loaded with grub, managed by mdadm, using the ext3 journaling file system.

Chris Harrison - Internet Map: City-to-City Connections
by rike_
& 1 other
The Dimes Project provides several excellent data sets that describe the structure of the Internet. Using their most recent city edges data (Feb 2007), I created a set of visualizations that display how cities across the globe are interconnected (by router configuration and not physical backbone). In total, there are 89,344 connections.
The first rendering displays the relative densities of Internet connectivity across the globe. The stronger the contrast, the more connectivity there is. It is immediately obvious, for example, that North America and Europe are considerably more connected than Africa or South America. However, it is important to note that this only reflect density of connections, and not usage. Hundreds of people may utilize a single connection in an internet cafe, often the only form of connectivity people have access to in developing nations.
Additionally, three graphs showing network connections were created. I should note this is not the first time graphs like this have been created - I've seen dozens of variations, most being practical in nature (e.g. cable locations, bandwidth). I decided to pursue an aesthetic approach - one more visually intriguing and interesting to explore than useful. The intensity of edge contrast reflects the number of connections between the two points. No country borders or geographic features are shown. However, it should be fairly easy to orient yourself.
Note: No projection has been applied to the geographical data. Latitudes and Longitudes were rounded to the nearest whole number and used in a flat coordinate system. This means that the planetary surface area represented by each point varies, skewing how the data (and densities - both point and edge) is shown!
Please don't tweak the little white-on-orange XML icon.
by karlcow
La communauté est toujours plus forte que toi.Please don't tweak the little white-on-orange XML icon. I'm seeing variations out there. That's not cool. Its value is diluted by varying it. If you don't like it, do something completely different. But a little change here and there, and eventually its value is gone.
mezzoblue § Icon Design: Anti-Aliasing
by sbrothier
The last time I wrote about icon design, I explained why it’s necessary to produce variations of an icon at different sizes. At small sizes in particular it’s important for icons to respect the pixel grid, enough so that extra work modifying the basic icon outline is usually required.
