Already at their second beta release [German], Zebuntu is an Xfce-based Ubuntu distribution with heavy - you guessed it - Zeta influences. Bernd Korz explains the goals of Zebuntu in the project's announcement."Our goal is to use BlueEyedOS to offer a new platform for our former Zeta customers. In the future, Zeta, BeOS, as well as any future Haiku applications, will run natively on Zebuntu. This also offers a distinct advantage for developers for these platforms; they can use Zebuntu to develop for their platforms while utilising the performance and versatility of Linux." In other words, run BeOS applications on Linux. They have not forgotten about BFS support either. The project is, of course, completely open source. The website is only available in German for now, but Zebuntu developer Leszek Lesner confirmed to me that work is being done on an English variant (there already is an English development blog). Here are some top features: Small slim 4.4 XFCE desktop provi...

The problem affects Unix-like operating systems, which represent system time as the number of seconds (ignoring leap seconds) since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970[1]. This representation also affects software written for most other operating systems because of the broad deployment of C. On most 32-bit systems, the time_t data type used to store this second count is a signed 32-bit integer. The latest time that can be re...

Intel has launched a new gaming and high-end computing platform called Skulltrail which includes two quad-core processors and graphic cards. Skulltrail not only holds eight processors; it also gives users a choice of two multi-card graphics solutions - one from AMD's ATI division and one from nVidia. The new platform will be largely welcomed by gamers, along with 3D animators and high-definition video editors, it also will have its place in corporate IT. Intel also officially unveiled its Dual Socket Extreme Desktop Platform at the 2008 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The platform is the latest product to run Intel's 45-nanometre Penryn microprocessors, which hit the market last November. The new platform's motherboard, Desktop Board D5400XS, is being paired with two Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors. An interesting part of Intel's announcement is the fact that Intel is supporting graphics technology from ATI, which is owned by Intel rival AMD . Lin ks to c...

->You should have download accelerator and Mozilla Firefox to perform this trick. The Trick: Most of the sites save the images of a particular gallery with a common name followed by a number for example “image1″,”image2″,”image3″ and so on, first we are going to get the image url and then use a “C” program to produce a html page ( dload.htm) which contains links to all the images in the gallery. Open the gallery which you want to download in mozilla . Now open 3 to 4 images of the gallery , right click on the image and select view image now you will get the url of the image in the address bar compare the urls 3-4 images to find a pattern in them.Now copy the url and replace the url in the code given below with it.Now replace the numbers in the image name which are varying with %d in our case replace “image1″ with “image%d”. You can get the upper limit of “i” by checking the url of the last image compile and run the code given below after replacing the url and open the dload.htm ...

Must have seen Google responding intelligently to your query like: Did you mean Google? How does it does that? Simple, PHP has function called Levenshtein that will do it for you provided you have a collection of words to match against for. The Levenshtein distance is defined as the minimal number of characters you have to replace, insert or delete to transform str1 into str2 . The complexity of the algorithm is O(m*n), where n and m are the length of str1 and str2 (rather good when compared to similar_text(), which is O(max(n,m)**3), but still expensive). Try this: -guess.php Enter: // input misspelled word if(!isset($_GET['q'])) exit(); $input = $_GET['q']; // array of words to check against $words = array('apple','pineapple','banana','orange', 'radish','carrot','pea','bean','potato'); // no shortest distance found, yet $shortest = -1; // loop through words to find the closest foreach ($words as $...

->Open up winamp -> select preferences[Ctrl-P] -> select DSP/Effect under Plugins on the left pane -> select Nullsoft Signal Processing Studio DSP on the visible right side pane[you will see it if u are using a winamp 5.xx] you should see a window with some text fields, actually a lot. just select "Enable Processing" on the left side, and then in the right lowest pane, "Per sample(or sample-pair):", well that is another place to hack away. if you do have a pair of headphones[would be better] or speakers placed like a audiophile would, paste this in that textbox: l = 0.5*spl0; r = 0.5*spl1; spl0 = 2*l - r; spl1 = 2*r - l; what the above does is cut out a bit of the common channel. DSP enthusiasts will know. so experience wise, the sound "spreads" and the common center image lessens in intensity. beware that this lessens a lot of the common channel, so bass and other common frequencies will be chopped out, but rock tracks are really helped by thi...

If you are trying to track down why your computer is running so slowly, try using this simple DOS command from Digital Inspiration to uncover a possible problem: • Type cmd in your Windows Run box. • Type "netstat -b 5 > activity.txt" and press enter. • After say 2 minutes, press Ctrl+C. • Type "activity.txt" on the command line to open the log file in notepad (or your default text editor) This .txt file will have a record of everything that has made an Internet connection in the last couple of minutes; you can then check your task manager to find out where it is and take care of it. The file activity.txt will have a log of all process that made a connection to the Internet in the last two minutes. It will also show which process connected to which website in this time. And not just the web browsers (like iexplore.exe or opera.exe), the log will also show your IM clients, download managers, email programs or any software that requires a net connection. Scroll th...

Apart from Firefox , Opera and Internet Explorer there is a number of promising alternatives which can improve your flexibility, increase your productivity and enrich your browsing experience.Most of them make use of the rendering engines Trident (Internet Explorer), Gecko (Mozilla Firefox), WebCore (Safari) and Presto (Opera 7 and above). However, some of them offer large fields for experiments and exploration — e.g. 3D Engines, but also really useful browsers with advanced functionalities such as desktop-tools integration.Lets check it out.... Flock (Win/Mac/Linux) What makes Flock unique is its ability to improve the productivity of bloggers. E.g. you can publish your blog posts directly from your browser-window — a WYSIWYG-editor is preinstalled by default. You can also use a Web-Clipboard, Photo Uploader, a Mediabar for Flickr-Fotos etc. Safari (Mac / Win) Safari belongs to Mac OS X just as Internet Explorer belongs to Windows.Since the mid 2007 Safari, with its elegant aqua ...

ASYMMETRIC COMMUNICATIONS: Asymmetric communication refers to the type of communication in which the speed or quality of data transfer is different in both the directions. This usually happens when browsing the Internet. The traffic coming into the user's system is very high as compared to the traffic leaving the system. In the case of symmetric communication, the transfer speed in both the directions is the same. This occurs when people communicate through video conferences or the telephone. NUKING: Nuking is a hacker's technique of causing the Windows operating system to crash, or suddenly terminate by using malicious network data packets. An out of band network packet that the operating system can't process is sent to the target system. This packet is called a 'blue bomb', or 'WinNuke' when Windows crashes, you see the dreaded BSOD (blue screen of death). Blue bombs are sometimes sent by multiplayer gamers about to lose a game, or by an IRC (Internet Rela...

Google has announced "Google Gears" for developers; an open source technology for creating offline Web applications . Google Gears marks an important step in the evolution of Web applications because it addresses a major user concern: availability of data and applications when there's no Internet connection available, or when the connection is slow or unreliable. Reportedly, the new software will run both online and offline, affording users the flexibility to work anytime anywhere, including at the remotest of locations. All the user needs to do is install a plug-in into Web browsers, and the software will open an offline door to applications that till now were accessible only via an Internet connection. Google hopes that in the long term, Google Gears will help the industry as a whole move towards a single standard for offline capabilities that all developers could use.

The name Google is a spelling error. The founders of the site, Larry page and Sergey Brin , thought they were going for Googol .. Googol is the mathematical term for 1 followed by 100 zeros. Initially, Larry and Sergey Brin called their search engine BackRub , named for its analysis of the of the web's "back links." The reason the google page is so bare is because t he founder didn't know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. The company's first office was in a garage , in Menlo Park, California . Google's first employee was Craig Silverstein, now Google's Director of technology. The basis of Google's search technology is called PageRank that assigns a rank to determine how useful it is. However, that is not why it is called PageRank. It is actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page . It would take 5,707 years for a person to search Google's 3 billion pages . The Google software does it in 0.5 seconds. The logos that appear on ...

OpenID starts with the concept that anyone can identify themselves on the Internet the same way websites do - with a URI. Since URIs are at the very core of Web architecture, they provide a solid foundation for user-centric identity. The first piece of the OpenID framework is authentication -- how you prove ownership of a URI. Today, websites require usernames and passwords to login, which means that many people use the same password everywhere. With OpenID Authentication, your username is your URI, and your password (or other credentials) stays safely stored on your OpenID Provider (which you can run yourself, or use a third-party OpenID "identity provider" (IdP) ). OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption among large sites, with organizations like Google, Microsoft,IBM,Verisign,Yahoo,AOL and Orange acting as providers. In addition, integrated OpenID support has been made a high priority in FIREFOX 3 and OpenID can be used with Windows CardSpace . ...
