BitLet - the BitTorrent Applet In the summer of 2007, shortly after launching Novlet, Daniele and I still had time to spare and were looking for something new to build. Sure enough, within a short period, Daniele came up with the idea that would soon become BitLet: a BitTorrent client that could run in a browser without requiring users to install anything on their computer. Back then, browsers had very limited capabilities: AJAX had been recently introduced (in 2005), web applications were moving from static pages to dynamic client UIs but no browser could do things like opening sockets and writing files locally, central requirements for a peer to peer file sharing application. We found a solution in an unlikely piece of technology: Java applets. One of the main reasons is that Java applets didn’t look that great. What made BitLet possible, however, was the idea that we could have the applet implement the BitTorrent protocol while relying only on the browser for its interface.

Christopher Johnson's ASCII Art Collection was revealed to the Internet in November of 1994, back when Netscape 1.0 was "soooo much better than Mosaic" and Internet Explorer didn't exist yet. Shameless begging starts now: Running this site for the last 22 years hasn't been cheap. Important note: I am not an ASCII artist.

BO.LT | A more interesting way to share Autorun.inf Autoriser l'exécution automatique Une fonctionnalité de Windows facilitant la vie des utilisateurs est l'exécution automatique d'applications d'un CD-ROM placé dans un lecteur. Pour pouvoir utiliser cette option il est nécessaire au préalable de s'assurer que l'exécution automatique est permise dans la configuration de Windows. Si celle-ci est belle est bien active, alors Windows, dès la détection du CD, cherchera à exécuter une application. Création du fichier autorun.inf On va tout d'abord créer un nouveau fichier qui aura pour nom "autorun.inf". [autorun] open=appli.exe Si l'application ne se trouve pas à la racine il faudra lui spécifier le chemin [autorun] open=dossier\sous_dossier\appli.exe On peut également passer des paramètres à l'application. [autorun] open=appli.exe paramètre1 Personnaliser l'icône Pour personnaliser l'icône qui remplacera celle du lecteur de CD-DVD il faudra rajouter la ligne suivante à votre fichier: icon=Chemin\de\votre\icône.jpg Personnaliser le texte
Aviary.com How to make an external laptop graphics adaptor Laptop graphics have always been something of a joke performance wise. Nvidia and AMD do try, but cramming all those millions of transistors into a low-power, compact package just leads to massive expense and an inability to upgrade. Wouldn't it be perfect if you could simply use a standard external graphics card to power your laptop's 3D graphics? Article continues below The good news is that you can. The suitably technical-sounding PE4H is just that; a passive PCI-e x16 to x1 adaptor, which enables you to plug an external graphics card into a laptop's ExpressCard slot. We'd like to say it's as simple as that, but this project does have a few sticking points. The second is Windows 7, as it handles multiple display drivers far more adeptly than anything else. Also if your laptop has more than 2GB of memory a 64-bit installation is also required, as otherwise you'll hit the 4GB address space limit hard. The walkthrough below details putting together a system. Troubleshooting 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
