Quakeworld (i.e., Quake 1 with improved netcode still has the crown IMO, when it comes to fast, furious hardcore deathmatch. Until somebody makes something better, I'll keep playing it.

KeePass is what you are looking for I have been using it for years now and it fucking cool.

It stores all you Username/Password DataBase using so called "most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish)" while SHA-256 is used as password hash.

YOu can Group your list with details on each password:
Title,Username,URL,Password (with AutoGen & Quality Rating), Notes, Expire Date and File Attachment.

It fully open-source (OSI certified) runs under Windows and PocketPC with NO INSTALLATION NEEDED so will run off USB key or Network, etc

All in all a very cool and sweet program for anybody with alot of Username/Passwords/URL/IPs to remember and a most have for all System/Network Admins.....

I run Keyring on my Palm Pilot. It works well. I carry my Palm with me literally everywhere but at rock concerts, and it's very nice to have every obscure, seldom-used password securely available wherever I happen to be.

All of my passwords are there, and a few other bits of even more important personal information.

Stuff is encrypted, and lives in the Palm's RAM where it will be destroyed instantly upon power loss. So, if left in a bus terminal, chances are that the data will be gone before the hapless thief finds a charger for it to keep the RAM alive, let alone manages to crack the database or even recognize its existance.

All I have to do is remember one passphrase.

Stuff is also backed up to the machine that I hotsync to, where it remains encrypted on disk. While non-volatile, the machine does have the advantage of vastly increased physical security.

And that isn't much of a backup regime, so all of the work-related passwords and data that might affect Other People get beamed via IR to a co-worker with a similar rig. This usually happens in the windowless basement I call "work," and is thus also reasonably secure despite its plaintext-edness.

I've used Keyring on everything from old-school black-and-green Handsprings, to Treo 650s. It Just Works(tm). It is free. It is GPL'd.

I'd go on, but I shouldn't have to...

So much for getting it into one posting...

Or how about a program such as FreeSafe - a Java MIDP which runs on most java-enabled phones. FreeSafe even does SHA1 and MD5 OTP!

KisKis is the best I've seen. Cross-platform, various templates, encrypt files too. I keep the database and the installer (which is also cross-platform, Java is cool) on my USB key.

Password safe is awesome

Last I saw, what Junxion was shipping was 95% COTS.

The board inside it is a Soekris Engineering 486 class [link], they boot off of a small CF, and the Linux distro the box runs is a very close derivative of LEAF [link]. (Think it's actually a derivative of WISP-Dist[link], which was sprung from and then rolled back into the LEAF project.)

They wrote the pretty front end and provide pretty good support for them.

If you're willing to support it yourself, go buy a $200 Soekris machine and rig one up.

Take a look at the stats Actually, I only found out about the project a few months ago.

Check out the demo its actually a really cool editor. Amazing what this guy can do with javascript.
Works great as an embedded editor for a web-based content management system.

The poor design decisions will be fixed and the JVM will be eliminated.

I doubt either of those things will actually happen. Most of the standard library is a creeping horror from a security and extensibility standpoint, but the fundamental design hasn't changed noticeably since 1.1-- they've just heaped another cargo ship full of additional cruft into the standard runtime with each major release. Stack-based security with principals attached is clumsy, but it appears to be getting treated as the state of the art by both the Java and .Net camps. They both need to be hit with a capability and design pattern cluestick. I'd say to hit them with a COM stick, but they'd probably use the painful parts like object registries and reference counting, and miss the important lesson: abandon globals and statics, interfaces and parameters are the key.

As for elimination of the JVM, it won't likely happen for a few reasons, most notably that even in a system which entirely precompiles to native code, the JVM is still the basis of the language's functionality specification. A C-like Java compiler can certainly produce correct code so long as the same program does the same thing as it would on a JVM. Also, dynamic loading in Java is specified in terms of JVM bytecode.

The result will be a fast compiled language with an elegant syntax.

LMAO! The syntax is about as elegant as C without a preprocessor. In such a fix, one becomes dependent on souped-up editors to churn out boilerplate code. Velocity works as a nice simple preprocessor; for more intricate macros JSE might be a better idea.

I don't think Java should try to morph into C or C++. In my opinion the JVM is the strongest link in the chain; in exchange for a hit in startup time you get the speed of a compiled language, the flexibility of a symbolic interpreter and the safety of fully checked memory access rolled into one. It's probably not the best thing to build grep or wc on, but it's great for bigger things like daemons and windowed apps.

If you already know Java and you've never written a game before, I wouldn't bother investing in a book right away. I bought a book about game programming in Java (coming from a C++ background) when I started my second game project and found it totally useless. With your first game, the most important thing to do is to restrict the scope. Your eagerness could very easily impell you to start a project you will never be able to complete (this is why my first project flopped). Pick a 2D genre that doesn't require realtime processing, or AI, or networking, or anything complicated (you can add those later) and then use the Java programming you already know. I specifically chose Java for my project because of the ease of 2D graphics programming.

There has been a spell checking extension for Firefox for a while now. It is called SpellBound (Spellchecker for Firefox and the Mozilla Suite).

You could look at Davenport. It is a webdav to smb gateway. The nice thing with it compared to mod_webdav is that if you run Samba + Davenport the file ownership on the server is not that of the web server, but that of the actual user, meaning that NFS will serve the files with the same ownership as well.

Maybe this is possible with mod_webdav too, but it wasn't obvious to me. With Davenport it was.

If the above is correct, depending on what BT software you use (I use Azureus) you may be able to limit the number of connections (mine has separate values for global and per-torrent). If it does, try setting the maximum number of connections in the BT client very low (like 10 for a single torrent). If it works, then ramp up until you have a problem. My client is set to max 80 connections per torrent and I have no problem but I'm on DSL with actual service provided by a smallish outfit which is a horse of an entirely different color.

Good luck!

Around Y2K, I worked for a company called Cyrano.com. It produced testing
software. We had done very well in the run-up to Y2K - lots of people wanted
to perform regression testing on their database applications. We were a small
company - much smaller than e.g. Rational.com (Now borged by IBM), but felt
that we had a good product. The management decided that the best way to help convince
customers to buy our product, in the face of arguments that Cyrano might not
be around in a couple of years time, was to open source the code. In these
circumstances, the obvious license to choose is the GPL: it ensures that
the company benefits from any changes anyone else makes.

I spent a very long time going through the files, adding the appropriate
header comments, and removing any comments naming individuals, especially
individuals who were no longer with the company, before setting up the
project at SourceForge: http://opensta.sourceforge.net/. There were
also OpenSTA.com and .org domains set up. The project is still running, and
I believe that several ex-employees, made redundant after the company went
tits-up, are now self-employed and using the application.

At the very least, open-sourcing the project meant that the codebase was not
lost when the company folded.

Sun released the software we developed for them when we took their research grants under a BSD license. We used it to make a decompiler and it's still BSD licensed. Of course, they did this because we asked them and they saw no business value in keeping it proprietary. If it had value they would have never released it under such admirable terms.

Yep, pretty fundamental in my way of thinking about open software development is the concept that users of proprietary software are getting a raw deal. If you don't share that idea then I'm sure you'd have no problem actively helping people to make proprietary software. Of course, there are times when doing so has advantages. A project I started and is still actively developed is licensed under a two clause BSD license with the outright intention that it help proprietary software makers enter a hard to define market. The idea being that if they can base services on this software they won't have to invest so much to get started. They can keep their changes to themselves and hopefully when there is some competition we'll see some innovative things. But when you're talking about free software in already established markets, you really are just throwing away your work.

Now I can finally spell check my reply. I do not need to highlight my blog and paste it into my open office writer to do the spell check then correct any misspelled words and do the reverse by pasting it back into this page.

Yeah, because nobody ever created a spellchecker extension for firefox before, such as SpellBound ... lucky Google came to the rescue, huh?

And to think, there wasn't a dedicated Google search bar in firefox before, either ...

Yes, it wouldn't do any harm to brush up on your C++ skills. If you don't have a C++ compiler yet, get Dev-C++ http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

Then try to finish at least one game. It doesn't matter how simple it is. If you then want to concentrate on design, instead of the nitty-gritty details, you might want to try http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/markov/gmaker/

For 3D, 3DGamestudio http://www.conitec.net/a4info.htm is a cheap, decent, all-around game authoring system. You can cobble together a quick FPS and if you put more time into it, a good RPG.

The two I just mentioned are for the windows platform, btw.

If you really want to start with a good (cross-platform) 3D engine, Irrlicht http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/ is a good open-source one. It works with Dev-C++.

The important thing is to get one game out.

Docmgr looks like it will do what you want. http://sourceforge.net/projects/docmgr/ (from the site) A PHP/Postgresql based document management system (DMS) with pdf and ocr-based indexing, and optional tsearch2 support. It also has access control lists, user permissions assignment, file discussion board, and multi-level file grouping.

I'm not sure what you mean by Turing-complete in this context. You need a Turing-complete language to implement the ruleset, I think. It deviates pretty far from Conway's original ruleset. The rules are still fairly simple, and are described pretty well on the rules page .

DosBox is actually a bit heartier when it comes to SCUMM games. SCUMMVM has problems with games like Full Throttle(only 75 percent according to their website) but DosBox played it 100 percent perfectally.

Google Search -- integrated
AutoLink -- US use only; most stuff don't work outside US, and even then a limited usefulness
WordTranslator -- limited use; only useful if you must understand e.g. a french site, and even if you do, there are non-toolbar extensions for this
Pop-up blocker -- integrated
AutoFill -- as far as I can see, Firefox' form saving system works well enough here
SpellCheck -- useful!
PageRank -- why should I have a use for it? diagnosing rank issues with my own sites? seems like highly limited use
Highlight search terms -- integrated
Word find -- integrated

An entirely new toolbar for this? Hmm... I can get the spell checking elsewhere without one, and besides that, it seems a bit much.

nice.
I havent used it, but appears you can do the same using gmail instead, GMAILFS http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm

or the open source version:

http://pgd.sourceforge.net/

There are a few implementations of Google Mail filesystems. Here is one http://pgd.sourceforge.net/ that is all webbased. Install it and let google handle the space issues.

I've looked it up and it seems that I was too ignorant about WebDAV concepts to say anything useful about its capabilities. Most of my vague ramblings were based on the following quote from the SVN book. I was basically just dreaming of a situation where you could mount a WebDAV URL and get to past revisions of files easily without having to explain as much to users as when using TurtoiseSVN, for example. I guess my users aren't the only people who need some explaining done to them ;-)

From the SVN book:

Can I view older revisions?

With an ordinary web browser? In one word: nope. At least, not with mod_dav_svn as your only tool.

Your web browser only speaks ordinary HTTP. That means it only knows how to GET public URLs, which represent the latest versions of files and directories. According to the WebDAV/DeltaV spec, each server defines a private URL syntax for older versions of resources, and that syntax is opaque to clients. To find an older version of a file, a client must follow a specific procedure to "discover" the proper URL; the procedure involves issuing a series of WebDAV PROPFIND requests and understanding DeltaV concepts. This is something your web browser simply can't do.

So to answer the question, one obvious way to see older revisions of files and directories is by passing the --revision argument to the svn list and svn cat commands. To browse old revisions with your web browser, however, you can use third-party software. A good example of this is ViewCVS (http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/). ViewCVS was originally written to display CVS repositories through the web, and the latest bleeding-edge versions (at the time of writing) are able to understand Subversion repositories as well.

I use SFTP.

The nicest Windows client I've found is FileZilla. It supports FTP, FTP over SSL and SFTP.

Have a quick look at http://owl.sourceforge.net/ , it might be just what the doctor ordered.

I worked on this project a little a few years back during a summer one time. Looks like development has died (I think they cancelled the project after all the interns left that summer), but it's OSS and a lot of the buzzwords you dropped match the buzzwords I heard when I was working on it.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fileangel/

• Web-Based. Supports all major browsers
• Multiple language support
  
• Supports document workflow
• Has a summary page to monitor recently added files you've checked out, Bookmarked collections, etc
• Built on a modular system to allow easy addition/removal of features
• Email, and anonymous email sending
• md5 file verification on viewing
• File Checkin/checkout.
• File discussion forums for each file
• Full text search and keyword search. You can also optionally add tsearch2 support for advanced full text indexing and search
• Fine-grained file and collection permissions based on per-user or per-group authentication
• WebDAV support. This works for browsing and copying, but not for checking out files (yet)
• It's been around for a while and has a decent size user base
• Zipped collection download

A problem with just Apache and mod_dav is that apache runs as one user id and all the files have to read/writeable by the web server. If you want to allow people to have access to their existing home directories then you need to have a webdav gateway that know how to interacte with that existing filesystem.

Davenport http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ is a webdav gateway to SMB shares. So that solves the issue of dealing with user permissions that apache/mod_dav can't do.

ffmpeg-php is an extension for PHP that adds an easy to use, object-oriented API for accessing and retrieving information from video and audio files. It has methods for returning frames from movie files as images that can be manipulated using PHP's image functions. This works well for automatically creating thumbnail images from movies. ffmpeg-php is also useful for reporting the duration and bitrate of audio files (mp3, wma...). ffmpeg-php can access many of the video formats supported by ffmpeg (mov, avi, mpg, wmv...)

SSL Explorer is exactly what you are looking for and they have just released a new updated verion 0.1.12 with include RADIUS. Hosted on SourceForge.net

It has WebDAV, VNC, Citrix, Rdesktop (Linux), Windows RDP Client, Web Forwarding, SSL Tunnelling and alot more.

You can set the password with RADIUS, Active Directory or a in-buit DB. All been encrypted under SSL with the ability for multiple SSL Cert's

All Web base with optional VPN (Java) Client, with some screen keyboard for security from keyloggers and usability e.g. Palm/PocketPC/SmartPhone, Public Kiosk, etc. All you need is a Web Browser and away you go......

You forgot to add a link to the KnowledgeTree's website, but here you go. KT is FLOSS and looks quite good after a quick read.

Would HyperContent do the trick for you?

http://hypercontent.sourceforge.net/

(Disclaimer: I used an early version of this from a year ago; I don't know how well it currently stacks up against what you're comparing it to...)

If you can wait and/or contribute, the IdeaForge module from the akoria project will do what you're looking for. Although it is more designed for group-developed content management, it will feature version control and WebDAV access to each user's work area.

Take a look at the meager homepage and see if you want to submit some feature requests.

This was me thinking the same as you - where's the open source project for group content management? But, after asking and getting few satisfactory answers, I just decided to go write it.

Any help will be much appreciated! And best of luck in your hunt...

FTP *is* what you are looking for. You can make an FTP server authenticate against almost anything, and FTP clients are there for every platform - including the web. Set up an FTP server and then set up a Java-based FTP client on a website for your IE users. Your Mozilla users already have one.

Here's one free for non-commercial use:

http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/

Your problem is with dependencies, NOT with RPM! So many people make this mistake - RPM is the format in which the updates are delivered, it doesn't do dependency checking. And as far as I know, neither do .deb files (I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think so). The trick is that RPM CAN be used with a wrapper than checks dependencies. Red Hat has stuck with RPM because they think it's a smart way to distribute packages. Since then, they have seen several methods of delivery, RHN, yum, apt4rpm...

If your problem is dependencies, that's fine. But don't blame RPM for not doing what it's not supposed to.

For an in form spell checker take a look at spellbound It works on mozilla/firefox. I use it all the time, it's awesome.

Most standalone consumer-grade routers have UPnP support built-in, although you may have to turn it on through the router's setup page first. I'm assuming you're using a Linux/BSD computer as your router, so you may want to look at the links on the open-source UPnP SDK project site for pointers about plugging it into your existing setup.

Note that UPnP's port forwarding features are a potential security risk if you're using NAT as a "firewall" (yes, I've heard it referred to as such) to block out all incoming traffic, since malicious apps can now forward arbitrary ports without your intervention. Granted, IMO it's not a big security risk, since you've probably got bigger problems than forwarded ports if you're running malicious code on your computer.

Unlike most linux appliance devices, there is aactually a LOT of usefull things that can be done by rinning a web server on Tivo - like remote scheduling/control of the device for one.

Right, because Tivo doesn't already have that (caveat: requires a Series 2 Tivo that's been upgraded with the now-free HME software, which you should already have from standard updates unless you've specifically hacked your Tivo not to update). You can also watch recordings in multiple rooms (requires a second Tivo, of course), view photos and listen to music, transfer your recordings to your PCs (caveat: with DRM, but what did you expect?), and develop new applets.

Tivo has been very good about embracing the hacking community (to the extent that they link to external forums from tivo.com that cover hacking), and have stepped up with official, free support for many of the features people were hacking for previously (the previously mentioned remote scheduling, photos, music, multi-room viewing, and PC transfers). They've also provided a nice SDK so you can easily write new Tivo apps using Java. With all of that, I simply don't see any need to hack a Tivo any more aside from increasing drive space (not that hacking will stop, nor should it -- that's where the innovation starts).
