Probably control. The lift bag system is nice and cheap, but tough to control. Once the load starts lifting the gas in the bags expands. That produces more lift, it rises faster, the gas expands more etc. The bags can rupture or dump their gas and then the whole thing sinks again.Jacks and big barge is the way to go here.
Amen to that. Nedit absolutely rules as an editor, and it's pretty easy for people used to GUIs to learn. The only real hangup I can see is that the GUI layer in Nedit is Motif/Lesstif built. That could complicate embeedding it in Kdevelop. Nevertheless the editor guts with autoindent, bracket matching, etc are still there. Here's the Nedit homepage: www.nedit.org
This does'nt look too good. 1. For all of the already posted reasons about why OTP's aren't practical. 2. It's not even a good OTP implementation. It looks like it uses rand() for it's entropy. The last time I checked rand() wasn't good random enough even for games let alone crypto! Like a bunch of people already said, use/dev/random. Maybe run that through a good whitening scheme and use that for your OTP. One of the recent Phrack issues had a good discussion of whitening random data streams.
Glade is a GUI development too for GTK. It can generate code for C, C++, Perl and Ada95. The code generation is implemented seperate from the GUI builder so new language bindings can be added easily. I've used it for small projects and it absolutely rocks. Check it out at glade.pn.org The other thing I've looked at is Kdevelop. It's very impressive, if a bit KDE/Qt centric. It's generic enough that you could do editing/compiling/CVS from it, and it's got real nice HTML documentation generation tools. It's at www.kedevelop.org. I think there's also a GUI designer for it. GIDE is for GTK/Gnome, it doesn't seem as mature as Kdevelop. It's at gide.pn.org. Enjoy
