Ever wonder why HP has seven consecutive years of Linux market share
Maybe it's our portfolio of best-of-breed partner products, or HP
value-add in management, high availability, and virtualization. Maybe it's
the integrated, consolidated infrastructure of HP BladeSystem,
single-source accountability and solution support from HP Services in 160
countries, or just our unwavering commitment to the open source community.

Communications :: BBS
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: aterr is a threaded forum system, allowing registered visitors to
express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other visitors. A
threaded forum system differs from regular, flat forum systems in that
once posted, a thread can fork, allowing visitors to reply directly to
other posts. aterr also provides a customisable permissions system, the
ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.
Changes: This version is primarily a bugfix release, but adds two minor
features. The ability to delete a forum has been added to the
administration panel. It is only possible to delete a forum that does not
contain any posts or subforums. The RSS and Atom feeds have been converted
to use templates, so they can be easily customised. This release also fixes
the bug that prevented moving forums up and down in the forum order
properly. Upgrading will automatically correct the forum order to ensure
that forums can be moved.

Games/Entertainment

Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game.
Unlike the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and
playability, while also adding more maps and better scriptability and
graphics.
Changes: Two long-standing bugs have been fixed: disarming multiple traps
could send the server into a tight loop, and a buffer overflow when saving
maps that could be caused by users has been fixed. The economy system has
been mostly rewritten and rebalanced: bargaining skill now governs most of
the prices, and true prices are achievable for those with high skill. Last
not least, the server now prefetches maps from disk asynchronously, so
chances that loading a map freezes the server shortly under heavy I/O
situations have been greatly reduced.

comic by essentially visiting previous comics and picking out the comics.
An ever growing number of Web comics are available to satisfy your
addiction.
Changes: More minor updates, but also a fix for an important bug in
SmackJeeves that would cause catchup to loop infinitely, hammering their
poor Web server.

by GordonJCP (http://freshmeat.net/users/gordonjcp/)
Sun, Jul 2nd 2006 12:38
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Sound Synthesis
About: nekobee is a DSSI soft synth plugin that emulates the sound of the
TB-303 Bassline. It is not an exact copy; rather than make it "just like
the real thing", the design concentrates on modelling the circuitry and
was adjusted by comparing the sounds achievable with it to those heard on
classic acid house tracks. It includes a switchable square/saw wave VCO,
24dB/octave VCF, an adjustable decay time for the VCF, a fixed decay time
for the VCA, and an interesting bit of circuitry around the "Accent"
control.
Changes: Now uses minblep oscillators, so no more aliasing on highish
notes and clicky instability on low notes.
