Free chip experienced with software for linux

HP3300c SANE backend is a Linux SANE backend for the HP3300c USB color scanner.
Support for other scanners with very similar chipsets, like the HP3400c, HP4300c and the Agfa Touch is also planned.
The HP3300C is an USB color scanner. It is externally powered. On the front is has two buttons that can trigger the scanner software to make either a scan or a copy. It has a horizontal resolution of 600 DPI (5300 pixels) and a vertical resolution of 1200 lines per inch.
It has the following chipset:
- NIPEDC0804, two rows of 20 pins along bottom and top edge. It has a 12.000 MHz crystal mounted close to it. This chip was mentioned as an interface chip on an electronics web page. The pinout of this chip is very similar to the Genesys Logic GL640USB chip (datasheet available).
- KM2Q65R, T224162B-28J, 100 Mhz, a 256k x 16 EDO DRAM chip from Taiwan - Memory Technology (TMTech) (datasheet available). The HP3400C has a EliteMT 100 MHz M11B416256A, also a 256k x 16 DRAM chip.
- ESIC ES8100QA, pins on all four sides, the analog-front-end. Also the Wolfson Micro WM8143 (datasheet available) has been reported. These two chips seem to be completely compatible.
- NIASH00014, pins on all four sides, 100 in total. This is the main controller IC. It has a 20.000 MHz crystal on pins 61 and 62. Two HP3400c scanners have been reported to contain a NIASH00019 chip.
Enhancements:
- Added device and company ID for Silitek derivate
- updated testtool_xfer.c

FreeSynd is a cross-platform, GPLed reimplementation of the classic Bullfrog game, Syndicate.
As the worlds multinational corporations grew, their profits began to rival those of small countries. Soon they owned small countries and corporate influence was felt at the highest level of world government. Smaller corporations were swallowed up like plankton in the wake of three behemoth mega-corporations, one U.S.-based, one Europe-based and one based in the Far East. These became the only effective world government, unelected, undemocratic, but controlling the lives of the people through commerce.
Then the European corporation perfected the CHIP. Inserted in the neck, the CHIP stimulated the brain stem to alter your every perception of the outside world. Better than any drug, the CHIP gave hope to millions by numbing their senses to the misery and squalor around them. One CHIP would convince users that the sun shone and the birds sang even as they walked through the constant acid rain drizzle. Another that they were glamorous or handsome - theyd look in the mirror and see a different face - while the rest of the world would see them as they really were.
The CHIP was a technological revolution and sold countless units with the slogan "Why change your world when you can change your mind". It also left the user open to auto-suggestion and gave the corporations the perfect tool for manipulating the populace.
Like any new and potent drug, control of the CHIP meant control of the people. Soon the corporations were at war among themselves, desperate to monopolize CHIP manufacture. But the corporations thirst for power left them open to infiltration.
With money earned through pirating CHIP technology, crime Syndicates bribed and murdered their way into corporation boardrooms. It wasnt long before the Syndicates became the controlling force all over the globe, with a finger in the pie of every transaction, criminal or otherwise, worldwide.
And in the crime Syndicates of tomorrow those in control dont need uzis for back up. Teams of custom-built cyborg agents hunt down rivals and traitors, and spread the influence of the Syndicates across the globe.

ActiveWidgets Grid is a cross-browser scrolling datagrid control that is fast to load and easy to integrate. The grid can handle data in many forms, from CSV to XML.

For the experienced developer it provides clean separation between data models, presentation templates, and control behavior, while the end user will find its fixed headers, resizeable columns, instant sorting, in-cell images, and mouse-over effects useful.

Paranoid is breakout clone with a very retro feel - green arcady graphics with vertical scanlines at an extremely small resolution (200x160 emulated on 640x480), beepy sound effects and chip music will all take you back at least 15 years.

This version is almost finnished, it just needs some original music. It currently contains 40 levels of increasing difficulty which should keep you busy for a couple of hours.

Spin is a transparent threading solution for non-freezing Swing applications.
Every non trivial GUI sooner or later encounters the problem of "freeze".
This annoying behaviour is experienced by users every time the application performs extensive calculations or blocks for network or disk I/O.
Spin offers a new approach for solving this problem.
It offers transparent thread handling with minimal impact on your application code.
Enhancements:
- Now built with Maven.
