Philosophy As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen (and trusted) tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. The technologies already exist, we simply need a complete reference design to put the pieces together. Mission To put all existing technologies and initiatives in context to create a reference design for end-to-end Data Portability.

For other parts of the MPEG-4 standard, see MPEG-4. "MP4" redirects here. For other uses, see MP4 (disambiguation). MPEG-4 Part 14, formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003, is a multimedia container format standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. It is most commonly used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those defined by MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, MPEG-4 Part 14 allows streaming over the Internet. The official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, thus the container format is often referred to simply as MP4. Devices that play .mp4 files are referred to as MP4 players. See less

The latest net releases of the Cygwin DLL are numbered 1.n.x, where "n" is currently "5" (e.g., 1.5.24). Any Cygwin program built from December 1998 onward should work correctly with 1.n.x DLLs. The 1.n.x version numbering refers only to the Cygwin DLL. Individual packages like bash, gcc, less, etc. are released independently of the DLL. The setup.exe utility tracks the versions of all installed components and provides the mechanism for installing or updating everything available from this site for Cygwin. Run setup.exe any time you want to update or install a Cygwin package. Note that, when installing packages for the first time, setup.exe does not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the Cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories and packages in the setup.exe package installation screen will provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated.

Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe and the installation process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Whether or not you already have Cygwin installed, you can add Cygwin/X to your installation by downloading the latest setup.exe, running setup, and selecting the 'xorg-x11-base' package from the 'X11' category. Using Cygwin/X is documented in a step-by-step manner, with lots of pictures and examples, in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Please notice, however, that Cygwin/X contains many general-purpose programs, libraries, and functions that are part of all X distributions. It is therefore beyond the scope of the Cygwin/X User's Guide to document all of these X Window System components. To find documentation, for example, for setxkbmap one should consult the generic X documentation such as the SETXKBMAP(1) manual page. You could always, of course, do a Google search for setxkbmap, which finds the manual page mentioned above. See less

Learning vi or vim is not easy. But it doesn't have to be that difficult, either. It is, in any case, faster, more powerful, and more productive than editing with any other editor, so you would do very well in investing the time and effort to learn it. Being a vi lover myself, I came up with the idea of providing a graphical cheat sheet for those learning vi or vim, and I also found out it was a very good way to structure a tutorial. Here are the results for your learning enjoyment (or your colleagues'). By the way, I recently published the definitive article explaining why vi/vim editing is so much better than regular editing. It should prove useful if you want to read it yourself, or if you want to point your skeptical friends to a description of why it makes sense, apart from being an entertaining read: Why, oh why, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?.

All layouts use valid markup and CSS, and have been tested successfully on Internet Explorer/win 5.0, 5.5, 6 and beta 2 preview of version 7; Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.5 and Safari 2. Each of the columns could be the longest, and for testing columns length I've used the script filler text on demand. Each layout could represent a site with five main sections: header, content, navigation, other stuff and footer. The basic markup, common to every layout, is the following: Header Content Navigation Extra stuff Footer It's almost minimal, apart from an extra wrapper around the content. Some might argue that the extra div it's unsemantical: all I can say is that in my opinion an extra wrapper in the markup is certainly better than CSS hacking, and to be able to meet the objectives I fixed for the article I needed at least a solid starting point. Talking about CSS: each of the layouts uses float and in most of the cases negative margins. Once you've understand how they work, they are really... See less

I've added a second subcategory of "worse than no wireless security at all." For this category, I've listed Cisco's proprietary LEAP and EAP-FAST protocols, along with SSID beacon suppression. Not only are these mechanisms ineffective, they're even harmful. LEAP uses unencrypted hash-based authentication, which relies strictly on password complexity. The problem is that 99% of all human-generated passwords can be cracked within hours or days. That means once a hacker breaks into a wireless LAN network by cracking LEAP, they're not only inside your network but they've got your passwords to freely access your data. If a domain admin were to use LEAP, the keys to the kingdom are handed over to the attacker. Cisco co-created a superior authentication mechanism called PEAP, which is standardized. But still pushes its customers toward the proprietary EAP-FAST protocol, which was created as a direct replacement for LEAP as a way to lock you in to Cisco hardware. EAP-FAST is only slightly less... See less

The Basecamp API is implemented as vanilla XML over HTTP. You can also send requests in YAML format if you prefer, but all responses will be XML. Be sure to set the "Content-Type" header in your requests to "application/xml" (or "application/x-yaml" if you use YAML requests), which will identify the format of the data being sent. Also, you must set the "Accept" header to "application/xml", so that Basecamp will send you XML in reply, instead of HTML. Example with Curl: Authentication is managed using HTTP authentication (only "Basic" is supported right now). Every request must include the Authorization HTTP header. Here's an example using curl: The above will return an XML-formatted response, if it succeeds. (You can look at the Ruby wrapper for more inspiration.) If a request fails, the error information is returned with the HTTP status code. For instance, if a requested record could not be found, the HTTP response might look something like: Note that, in general, if a request causes... See less

JSP enables the dynamic generation of web pages,similar to ASP.NET and PHP. When someone visits a JSP page,the HTML web page is generated and sent back to the visitor. Below you can see the construction of a basic web page. The HTML source code on the side shows the output "The date today is". In order for a static web page to show today's date,it would need to be edited every day and uploaded to the web server. This is very time consuming for such a simple task. This is where the dynamic generation of web pages is used. In the JSP above,special syntax is used to signify that the current date needs to be displayed. You have probably seen this in the JSP tutorial already. This special syntax is processed on the web server and sent back to the visitor as a normal (html) web page. See less
