Free flac 1.1.4 software for linux

FLAC is Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.
This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.
FLAC is freely available and supported on most operating systems, including Windows, "unix" (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS X, IRIX), BeOS, OS/2, and Amiga. There are build systems for autotools, MSVC, Watcom C, and Project Builder.
The FLAC project consists of:
the stream format
reference encoders and decoders in library form
flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files
metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files
input plugins for various music players
When we say that FLAC is "Free" it means more than just that it is available at no cost. It means that the specification of the format is fully open to the public to be used for any purpose (the FLAC project reserves the right to set the FLAC specification and certify compliance), and that neither the FLAC format nor any of the implemented encoding/decoding methods are covered by any known patent. It also means that all the source code is available under open-source licenses. It is the first truly open and free lossless audio format.
Main features:
- Lossless: The encoding of audio (PCM) data incurs no loss of information, and the decoded audio is bit-for-bit identical to what went into the encoder. Each frame contains a 16-bit CRC of the frame data for detecting transmission errors. The integrity of the audio data is further insured by storing an MD5 signature of the original unencoded audio data in the file header, which can be compared against later during decoding or testing.
- Fast: FLAC is asymmetric in favor of decode speed. Decoding requires only integer arithmetic, and is much less compute-intensive than for most perceptual codecs. Real-time decode performance is easily achievable on even modest hardware.
- Hardware support: Because of FLACs free reference implementation and low decoding complexity, FLAC is currently the only lossless codec that has any kind of hardware support.
- Streamable: Each FLAC frame contains enough data to decode that frame. FLAC does not even rely on previous or following frames. FLAC uses sync codes and CRCs (similar to MPEG and other formats), which, along with framing, allow decoders to pick up in the middle of a stream with a minimum of delay.
- Seekable: FLAC supports fast sample-accurate seeking. Not only is this useful for playback, it makes FLAC files suitable for use in editing applications.
- Flexible metadata: New metadata blocks can be defined and implemented in future versions of FLAC without breaking older streams or decoders. Currently there are metadata types for tags, cue sheets, and seek tables. Applications can write their own APPLICATION metadata once they register an ID
- Suitable for archiving: FLAC is an open format, and there is no generation loss if you need to convert your data to another format in the future. In addition to the frame CRCs and MD5 signature, flac has a verify option that decodes the encoded stream in parallel with the encoding process and compares the result to the original, aborting with an error if there is a mismatch.
- Convenient CD archiving: FLAC has a "cue sheet" metadata block for storing a CD table of contents and all track and index points. For instance, you can rip a CD to a single file, then import the CDs extracted cue sheet while encoding to yield a single file representation of the entire CD. If your original CD is damaged, the cue sheet can be exported later in order to burn an exact copy.
- Error resistant: Because of FLACs framing, stream errors limit the damage to the frame in which the error occurred, typically a small fraction of a second worth of data. Contrast this with some other lossless codecs, in which a single error destroys the remainder of the stream.
What FLAC is not:
- Lossy. FLAC is intended for lossless compression only, as there are many good lossy formats already, such as Vorbis, MPC, and MP3 (see LAME for an excellent open-source implementation).
- SDMI compliant, et cetera. There is no intention to support any methods of copy protection, which are, for all practical purposes, a complete waste of bits. (Another way to look at it is that since copy protection is futile, it really carries no information, so you might say FLAC already losslessly compresses all possible copy protection information down to zero bits!) Of course, we cant stop what some misguided person does with proprietary metadata blocks, but then again, non-proprietary decoders will skip them anyway.

TimeTrack is a program to track time in a modular, project-oriented way. A single timer has the ability to help you track your time over a whole project through maintaining a list of tripels that consist of starttime,endtime and a description field.
You can arrange your timers over several tabs, just as you like. Saving and loading happens through XML Files. Timetracker also has the ability to import single timers from other files to merge your timerdata with other timerdata.
Main features:
New Timer:
- This button spawns a new Timer on the current tab. Just click it and you can start tracking.
New Tab:
- This buttons spawns a new Tab. Youll be asked for the name of the new tab before it is created.
Rename Tab:
- This button renames the current Tab.
Close all:
- This button closes all tabs and running timers WITHOUT saving.
One of the new functions of 1.1 is the ability to save a running timer which will pe persistent even through reboots and shutdowns through the usage of timestamps. This is a useful feature especially for notebook users with limited energy resources.
Starting with V1.1.1, TimeTrack is featuring a generic report generator, which aids you in your documentation needs by - well - simply building reports out of your tracked time data.

PyCAGE fairly generic and complete cellular automata simulation engine.
Its written in Python and it supports both 1D and 2D automata, a variety of prepackaged rules, and the concept of "agents" which can move about independently on the map for implementing agent behavior.
It comes with numerous examples of fully-functional CA systems, including Conways Game of Life, Langtons self-reproducing automaton, Langtons "vants," and 1D automata rule explorers.
It also comes with simple displayers (including a curses interface for 2D automata) and a unique implementation of a finite state machine.
Main features:
- time is measured in discrete steps, called time units;
- a network of cells, each of which with a well-defined state at each time unit;
- at each time unit, each cell has a series of other cells which constitutes its neighorhood;
- the state each of cell changes according to a state transition function which depends on the state of that cell and the states of the cells of its neighbors;
- in synchronous automata (the typical usage), all cell transitions take place simultaneously.
Enhancements:
- Minor organizational changes; add stepping stone automaton.

PMFirewall is an Ipchains Firewall and Masquerading Configuration Utility for Linux. It was designed to allow a beginner to build a custom firewall with little or no ipchains experience.
This firewall should work for most Workstations, Servers and Dual NIC routers using either a dialup, DSL, Cable or LAN setup. It is restrictive to outside attacks but is still being transparent to those inside.
At this point it works on virtually every distribution of linux. If you find one with problems, please let me know.
Enhancements:
- Autodetection of the IP Address and Netmask of each interface.
- Blocking of NetBIOS, NetBUS, Back Orifice and Samba attacks.
- Protection against IP Spoofing Attacks.
- Logging of DENY packets.
- Manipulation of TOS bits of the packet for optomizing transfers. You must have CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS enabled in your kernel for this to be effective.
- Masquerading support is decided during install.
- Your own custom rules can be added to the pmfirewall.rules.local file.
