Minimig stands for Mini Amiga. Minimig is an FPGA-based re-implementation of the original Amiga 500 hardware. In it's current form, Minimig is a single PCB measuring only 12*12cm which makes it the smallest "Amiga" ever made and the first new "Amiga" in almost 14 years! Minimig is available for download as an open-source / open-hardware design under the GNU public license.

In der New York Times gibt es einen Kommentar von zwei Vier-Sterne-Generälen im Ruhestand, wo sie Obama aufrufen, das Gesetz nicht zu unterzeichnen, das Terroristen auch in den USA zu Kombattanten ernennt und vom Militär ohne Gerichtsverfahren unbeschränkt inkarzerieren lässt.

Cambridge University is putting the papers of Sir Isaac Newton online for the first time, including his own annotated copy of his greatest work, Principia Mathematica, with notes and calculations in his handwriting revising the book and answering critics.

The USA is already a functional oligarchy. (Or, more accurately, a plutarchy.) It has been functioning as such for some time — since 1992 at the latest, although the roots of this system go back to before the Declaration of Independence — it's a recurrent failure mode. Historically such periods last for a few years then go into reverse. However, this time the trend has been running since 1980 or even earlier. What we're now seeing are the effects of mismanagement by the second generation of oligarchs in power; the self-entitled who were born to it and assume it to be the natural order of things.

Then he happened on an article about a little-known government project: The U.S. Secret Service has been working with manufacturers of color laser printers to place tiny, imperceptible yellow dots on printed pages so that the government can track the machine that produced them. Good put the puzzle under a blue-light filter and saw the dots. “It was a breakthrough moment,” he says. “The pattern of dots is practically a map for how everything comes together.”

Most print newspapers will be gone in five years.

“Circulation of print newspapers continues to plummet, and we believe that the only print newspapers that will survive will be at the extremes of the medium – the largest and the smallest,” said Cole. It’s likely that only four major daily newspapers will continue in print form: The New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. At the other extreme, local weekly newspapers may still survive.

The standard, now referred to informally as C11, provides greater compatibility with the C++ language and adds new features to C (as indicated in the draft).

Those features include multi-threading, Unicode support based on the ISO/IEC TR 19769:2004 specification, additional macros for querying the characteristics of floating point types and the ability to use static assertions. The recently released revision also standardises many of the features that current compilers already support, as required by the draft.

The Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a framework of several services and tools offering a comprehensive and powerful vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management solution.

The actual security scanner is accompanied with a daily updated feed of Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs), over 20,000 in total (as of January 2011).

All OpenVAS products are Free Software. Most components are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL).

As Alan Kay, a major pioneer of today’s software-eaten planet, pointed out recently, the Internet doesn’t have stop, shut down, or rewind buttons. Once it was turned on, history was essentially rebooted. Software began eating away at the pre-software layers of civilization on the planet, and depositing software-infused layers instead.

One of these days, we’ll recognize the enormous significance of what’s going on and replace the BC/AD distinction with BI/AI (Before Internet/After Internet), with January 1, Year 0 reset to October 29, 1969, the day the Internet was turned on (if you want to start right, 2012 is actually Year 43, AI).

And yes, this time, there will be a Year 0, if programmers have anything to do with it.

Wie heute auf der Homepage des Verfassungsgerichtshofs (VfGH) bekannt gegeben wurde, ist E-Voting, in seiner derzeitigen Form, in Österreich gesetzeswidrig.

Über so vieles in Ihrem Artikel möchte ich mich noch empören. Zum Beispiel die Unterstellung, dass Männern Beleidigung, Belästigung und Gewalt Spaß machen. Mit solchen sexistischen Äußerungen erreichen wir sicher ein besseres Miteinander der Geschlechter! Es ist auch eine Unverschämtheit, wenn Sie intensiven Internetnutzern (anscheinend nur Männer) besonders negative Eigentschaften unterstellen und annehmen, dass die Piratenpartei einen Querschnitt dieser Gruppe darstellt.

Sie werden verstehen, dass die feminstische Arbeit bei den Piraten zuweilen frustrierend ist, wenn einem die Medien und selbst die EMMA in den Rücken fallen. Auf differenzierte Darstellungen in der Presse warten wir also weiter vergeblich. Schade!

In meiner Naivität habe ich auf gute und konstruktive Denkanstöße gehofft, wie wir mehr Frauen dazu motivieren können, sich politisch zu engagieren, oder welche konkreten Punkte es gibt, an denen wir arbeiten sollten. Stattdessen durfte ich auf sechs Seiten lesen, wie scheiße ich bin, weil ich Pirat und männlich bin, was laut EMMA ja das gleiche zu sein scheint.

The trailer for The Hobbit features singing dwarves. And not just one or two, but thirteen. Thirteen named characters! Singing! Can you imagine any other genre film targeted toward an adult audience getting the greenlight to (a) be allowed to have thirteen named characters in a trailer and (b) have them sing? I think not. It was that part of the trailer — the singing — that caught me. I sense confidence from the studios involved. Good for them. They’ll be rewarded for it when the box office numbers are tallied.

The debugger and debug information is available or present in all software components, however, not all users are aware of what the debug data consists of and how the data is stored.

If you work with debugging formats, are a C/C++ programmer with relevant experience on any UNIX platform and have basic knowledge of compilers and debuggers, or are in the process of choosing formats then this article is for you.

We cover extracting debugging information from two popular debugging formats, STAB and DWARF. We discuss the advantages of one format over the other. Additionally, we provide an example application to extract information from a binary in a DWARF format to assist in experimentation and understanding.

"Was Dümmeres wie Facebook kann man meiner Meinung nach ja gar nicht erfinden."

You will never need a password again. Your biological makeup is the key to your individual identity, and soon, it will become the key to safeguarding it.

Organizations will increase their spending on enterprise social collaboration software at a compound annual growth rate of 61 percent through 2016, a year in which the market for these products will reach US$6.4 billion, compared with $600 million last year.

+) Adoption requires sustained effort.
+) Social business is statistically correlated with important bottom-line benefits.
+) There’s a strong sense that social business will imminently and fundamentally change organizations.
+) Technology and organizational constraints often hold back social business transformation.

In a research project conducted during last year's holiday season and posted on YouTube, Bill Hammack, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, concluded that a single-file line leading to three cashiers is about three times faster than having a separate line for each cashier.

Any delay in the multiple-line system will stop the line completely, while a delay in a single line might just delay one shopper. Although the single-line method may be faster, Mr. Hammack says customers generally prefer to "jockey for position" in separate lines.

The reality is that the unisex, open-ended, building and imaginative creation sets that my peers normally associate with Lego are gone.
