Kuklomenos—Weird Space Shooter?
Kuklomenos has to be one of the weirdest games I've ever come across. I'm not doing a full review here, because I simply can't figure it out! If you want to compile it, go right ahead; it's easy with the usual ./configure, make, make install routine. But, once you get into the game, be prepared to be puzzled. I think it's a space shooter, because the background is black, but that's just a guess! Your goal is to fight off blobs with a strange control scheme that involves zooming, rotation and fire accuracy—all in a playing style that's like Asteroids rewritten by a French existentialist on crack. Intrigued? Check it out.
Kuklomenos—if you work out this game, let me know!

White Paper
Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers
Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

I have played this game over
I have played this game over and over and it is definitely one of the most difficult I have ever played. This game about club penguin toys is unique and brings a fresh perspective to gaming.
The little blue circle by
The little blue circle by the sheild bar tells you when you can shoot a pod. Have as many pods going out to capture nodes as possible, then defend them instead of having to defend yourself which is harder. Pods you own will nuke the blue guys that try to get them. When a pod is filled, shoot it with 3. club penguin
Fun!
This is a pretty neat game. The initial mystery adds to it, to a degree. Do read the README though. I finally got a victory, and the key to that was understanding how the opponent behaves, and the bit about pods.
The opponent will chase you but it will also chase your pods. The little blue circle by the sheild bar tells you when you can shoot a pod. Have as many pods going out to capture nodes as possible, then defend them (instead of having to defend yourself which is harder). Pods you own will nuke the blue guys that try to get them. When a pod is filled, shoot it with 3.
Nice
I like the game.
Kind of a Myst-Experience for a space shooter ;)
No clue what to do, but it's fun and after some time you get an idea.
I like the fact that it is SDL. So I enjoyed the Mac-Clone!
If you want to read how the game works: readme
(but who reads manuals??)

Most IDEs come with built-in
Most IDEs come with built-in “support” for lots of programming languages. Although for a lot of them, support means it colorizes your code. Eclipse is a bit different. It doesn't come with built-in support for many languages, or any, depending on the version you download. Support is provided via Eclipse Plugins. And normally, “support” means more than just colorizing your code. You usually get something that understands your language. It can show you an outline of the functions wholesale lingerie and data in your code; it can help you refactor code; it can show where something is defined, and it integrates with the language's debugger.
