TorrentStorm Windows BitTorrent Client
This is, in my opinion, the best client available for use in Windows. A few advantages over the official or Shadow clients (for instance) are that the torrents are all viewed in the same window thereby lessening the effect of the 'doze clutterbar, better torrent detail view, and completely configurable main window information view (as in, you choose exactly how and what you want displayed).

What will Playfair do for you?
The playfair program is quite simple. It takes one of the iTMS Protected AAC Audio Files, decodes it using a key obtained from your iPod or Microsoft Windows system and then writes the new, decoded version to disk as a regular AAC Audio File. It then optionally copies the metadata tags that describe the song, including the cover art, to the new file.

Who's Got the Acid?
Researchers at the University of Michigan started tracking the illicit drug habits of America's high-schoolers in 1975. Despite the inherent difficulty of conducting such surveys—kids are excellent liars and exaggerators—the Michigan team has established "Monitoring the Future" as the most reliable guide to drug-use trends in the United States.

Leg Lamps
Leg lamps have been showing up all around the world as far back as the 1930's. Some "goofball" must have gotten the crazy idea to wire up a mannequin or ceramic cast leg to light their favorite room in the house. We've brought a little class to the to this quirky fixture. We are the first manufacturer to offer an authentic gold silk shade and crate shipping.

Anklage gegen Milosevic gescheitert
Fünf Jahre ist es jetzt her, dass die Nato mit Beteiligung Deutschlands Krieg gegen Jugoslawien geführt hat. Es hieß, im Kosovo hätten die Menschenrechte verteidigt und eine humanitäre Katastrophe verhindert werden müssen. Mittlerweile geht der Prozess gegen Slobodan Milosevic in Den Haag dem Ende entgegen und kaum jemand weiß, welches Urteil zu erwarten ist. Vielleicht stimmt das auch nicht ganz. Mehrheitlich wird wahrscheinlich davon ausgegangen, dass für Milosevic nichts anders als eine Verurteilung in Frage kommen kann. Dass dem keineswegs so ist, beschreibt Jürgen Elsässer in seinem neuen Buch "Kriegslügen. Vom Kosovokonflikt zum Milosevic-Prozess".

Nazi and East German Propaganda Guide Page
Propaganda was central to Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The German Propaganda Archive includes both propaganda itself and material produced for the guidance of propagandists. The goal is to help people understand the two great totalitarian systems of the twentieth century by giving them access to the primary material.

Marshall McLuhan, the Man and his Message
He was a man of idioms and idiosyncrasies, deeply intelligent and a soothsayer. He had prescient knowledge of the Internet. Although educated in literature, Marshall McLuhan was known as a pop philosopher because his theories applied to mini-skirts and the twist. For his ability to keep up with the cutting edge, one colleague called him "The Runner." Critics said he destroyed literary values. Today, McLuhan’s ideas are new again, applied to the electronic media that he predicted.

OpenSSH for Windows
OpenSSH for Windows is a free package that installs a minimal OpenSSH server and client utilities in the Cygwin package without needing the full Cygwin installation. This is similar to the package formerly available from NetworkSimplicity.
The OpenSSH for Windows package provides full SSH/SCP/SFTP support. SSH terminal support provides a familiar Windows Command prompt, while retaining Unix/Cygwin-style paths for SCP and SFTP.

MythTV
I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that AT&T Broadband provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels, ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser built in, a mail client, maybe some games. Basically, I want the mythical convergence box that's been talked about for a few years now.
So, in late April 2002, I started tinkering with stuff. I bought a cheap TV tuner card from BestBuy, and threw it into my desktop box (P3-550). I started playing around with different video encoders, and eventually decided that NuppelVideo provided the best quality video for the amount of CPU it took up. It's based on a modified RTjpeg codec, and it looks rather nice, in my opinion.
