"Who can you trust?" Wem kann man vertrauen? Unter diesem Motto sind Ende Dezember in Berlin Hacker und Datenschützer zum 23. Chaos Communication Congress zusammengekommen. Die Themenpalette der Veranstaltung ist zwar um einiges breiter, doch die Vertrauensfrage im Internet dürfte gerade für den durchschnittlichen User das wichtigste Problem sein.

Ob durch neue Kameras oder dauerhafte Speicherung von Telefondaten, ob sichtbar oder im Verborgenen: Immer mehr Informationen über den Einzelnen werden gesammelt, gespeichert und verknüpft. Alles zur Sicherheit der Bürger und zum Vorteil der Konsumenten? Vollzieht sich ein Wandel im Umgang mit Informationen in der digitalen Welt oder ist es bereits der Weg in den Überwachungsstaat? Spurensuche in Deutschland - ein Video-Feature in vier Teilen.

CleverCSS is a small markup language for CSS inspired by Python that can be used to build a style sheet in a clean and structured way. In many ways it's cleaner and more powerful than CSS2 is. The most obvious difference to CSS is the syntax: it is indentation based and not flat. While this is obviously against the Python Zen, it's nonetheless a good idea for structural styles.

Content-aware rescaling . Keeps the features of the image while rescaling along a single direction - check the video. Tested on Gimp 2.2. It installs under the Layer menu now.

Liquid Resize, also known as re-targeting or content aware image resizing by seam carving/seam removal, is based on the work of http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/imret.pdf. Check out this video on YouTube for an introduction to this new image sizing technique.

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.

Recadrer une image en javascript et php 11 jan 2007 Voici un nouveau script permettant de recadrer une image directement à partir d'internet. Son fonctionnement est "relativement" assez simple, à partir de d'une page, le script javascript récupère la position du cadre de redimmensionnement selon x et y ainsi que la dimension du dit cadre. Il suffit ensuite de recadrer l'image avec imagemagick (ou GD) et ensuite si vous le souhaitez de la réduire afin d'avoir des vignettes de même taille et non déformé.

CLAM stands for C Library for Audio and Music and in Catalan means something like "a continuous sound produced by a large number of people as to show approval or disapproval of a given event".

The name “ Spiritwatch” is used here to speak to the theme of this site which is a watchfulness focused on experiences of a spiritual nature. This watchfulness is in many of the papers a function of the scientific method or classical scholarship but not always. Sometimes it exemplifies the watchfulness of the observer. This can be from careful first person accounts, from a cultural perspective, or from the perspective of the development of higher states of consciousness.
