"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page
A Wiki site that make use of mediawiki and is similar to Project Gutenberg. Scolars can use this to make texts available online, subject to the usual restrictions on not posting copyright material.

Definitely a site to keep an eye on and see how it will develop.

Also check out http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Main_Page
I would appreciate it if the pcf programmers would have a look at the computer programming textbook section, and let me know if they think its authoritative.

Word definitions in 'real' terms. Some hilarious stuff but some entries are of an adult nature.

Soundtransit website

Post by jee »

Would you like to hear the sounds of people playing bingo in Glasgow? Perhaps you are interested in a night recording of crickets in Speyside, Tobago? The site, that has a wide variety of sound clips submitted by people from all over the world is a collaborative online archive of field recordings.

A nifty search engine allows you to look for sounds by country, artist, or city. Each clip is accompanied by a short description, such as this one for a clip from Vienna: “an inside-recording from a fridge with a working coffee machine on top”. One feature that is particularly outstanding is the “SoundTransit” area. You can “book” audio fieldtrips by selecting an itinerary, complete with stopovers. Go travel the world in rich aural fashion!

Not a website but a search engine

Post by jee »

Omgili "Oh My God I Love It", which is in beta, searches discussion forums, and you can try it at http://omgili.com/.

Omgili offers a basic keyword search with special syntax and a slightly unusual way to do an advanced search from the front page. Enter your query and then doubleclick on a word in the query. An i will pop up over the query box. Mouseover the i and you'll have the option to limit your query word search to title, topic, or reply, or exclude it altogether.

Currently search results are limited, but it does say on Omgili's FAQ that the forums to be indexed are hand-picked.

Loads of fun :) and hopefully more forums will be indexed soon.

The UCS Satellite Database, downloadable at http://www.ucsusa.org/global_security/s ... abase.html , contains information about 800 various satellites, and instead of your searchable database its a downloadable spreadsheet together with a user manual (PDF) and updates. It's updated "roughly quarterly," the site says.

The file itself provides over 25 points of information, including name of satellite, country of owner/operator, purpose, type of orbit, launch mass, date of launch, expected lifetime, contractor, and comments. In addition information in the database is sourced with Web page links -- sometimes many Web page links.

In addition to the database the satellite page also has an interesting graph of military vs. civilian satellites for four different countries, and pointers to a page of space weapons resources on the Web.

Specially for Kronos ;)

Recently, many interested parties have taken up the debate surrounding intelligent design and the teaching of evolution in public schools. A thoughtful and introspective website was created that explores some of the issues.

This documentary uses Realplayer ;) (or in text if you are not lazy;))

Did you know Google got its name from the mathematical figure googol, which denotes the number 'one followed by a hundred zeros'?

Do you know what or who Veronica was? And Carnivore?

That the Deep Web is 500 bigger than www?

The morning after Internet Explorer 4 was released, certain mischievous Microsoft workers left a 10 by 12 foot letter 'e' and a balloon with the message, "We love you", on Netscape front lawn.

Go play on http://tech-facts.blogspot.com/ for more amazing tech facts.

Put your music on the net

Post by jee »

TuneCore is a music delivery and distribution service that gets music you created (even cover versions) up for sale on iTunes and Rhapsody without asking for your rights or taking any money from the sale or use of your music.
http://www.tunecore.com/

VNC is a free (mostly) way to control another computer from somewhere else. But there are downfalls. VNC is not very secure. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of using two free programs ( RealVNC and Hamachi), to connect to another computer and do it securely. The programs are small , fast and not bloated like remote desktop. But this guide will also teach you how to setup encryption so no one will be able to get access to your computers.
