Windows The ATI Radeon graphics driver package for Windows operating system is called ATI Catalyst. There are unofficial modifications available such as Omega drivers and DNA drivers. These drivers typically consist of mixtures of various driver file versions with some registry variables altered and are advertised as offering superior performance or image quality. They are, [...]
2000 Google announced a new “MentalPlex” search technology that supposedly read the user’s mind to determine what the user wanted to search for, thus eliminating the step of actually typing in the search query. This always led to a page full of April Fool’s results. *[http://www.google.com/mentalplex/ Google MentalPlex] *[http://www.google.com/mentalplex/MP_faq.html Google MentalPlex FAQ] *[http://www.google.com/mentalplex/MP_illustrations.html Google MentalPlex [...]
The ELF format has replaced older executable formats such as a.out and COFF in many Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, Syllable, and HP-UX (except for 32-bit PA-RISC programs which continue to use SOM). ELF has also seen some adoption in non-Unix operating systems, such as the Itanium [...]
Details on the implementation’s internals are not released, which makes it difficult for third-party vendors to provide tools to handle NTFS. Linux The ability to read and write to NTFS is provided by the NTFS-3G driver. It is included in most Linux distributions. Other solutions exist as well: * Linux kernel 2.2: Kernel versions 2.2.0 [...]
John Cage and the Experimental Composition Classes Brecht met the artist Robert Watts at Rutgers University in 1957, and through Watts, Allan Kaprow.

The widespread adoption of the PC platform at homes and small business popularized computers among people with no formal training. This created a fast growing market, opening an opportunity for commercial exploitation and of easy-to-use interfaces and making economically viable the incremental refinement of the existing GUIs for home systems. Also, the spreading of Highcolor [...]
Before World War II In May 1888, the United States established a coaling station to service the vessels of the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. King David Kalākaua had granted the U.S. the exclusive rights to enter and develop the area earlier that year. The U.S. Naval Radio Station in the Pearl Harbor area, [...]
Since AMD64 and Intel 64 are substantially similar, many software and hardware products use one vendor-neutral term to indicate their compatibility with both implementations. AMD’s original designation for this processor architecture, “x86-64″, is still sometimes used for this purpose, as is the variant “x86_64″. Other companies, such as Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, use the contraction [...]
WebKit is used as the rendering engine within Safari on Windows, Mac OS X and iOS. Other applications on Mac OS X can make use of WebKit, for example Apple’s e-mail client Mail and the 2008 version of Microsoft’s Entourage personal information manager both make use of WebKit to render e-mail messages with HTML content. [...]
Adobe provides an official player for GNU/Linux on x86 in a binary-only form. Gnash, however, can be compiled and executed on many architectures, including x86, AMD64, MIPS/IRIX, and PowerPC. It also supports BSD-based operating systems. An early port for RISC OS, which has never had Macromedia/Adobe Flash support beyond Flash 3, does exist, as well [...]
Work on a GTK port began in June 2004 to aid development and debugging. It has since gained many of the user interface features present in the RISC OS version. The browser is packaged with several distributions including Ubuntu and NetBSD. A native BeOS/Haiku port is being developed. Since the GTK version was built for [...]
Initng is still beta. Despite that, it has was chosen as the default init system for Pingwinek, Enlisy, Berry Linux and Bee. Also there are packages for many distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, as well as ebuilds for Gentoo and spells for SourceMage. Contrary to other similar projects, it features a portable and [...]
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform, free and open source software multimedia library written in C that presents a simple interface to various platforms’ graphics, sound, and input devices. Software developers use it to write computer games or other multimedia applications that can run on many operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X, OS [...]
FireWire can connect up to 63 peripherals in a tree chain topology (as opposed to Parallel SCSI’s electrical bus topology). It allows peer-to-peer device communication& — such as communication between a scanner and a printer& — to take place without using system memory or the CPU. FireWire also supports multiple hosts per bus. It is [...]
