Magic Mounter is a user-space auto-mounter.

mmounter tries to mimic the behaviour of MacOS with regards to automatic monitoring and mounting of the volumes in your system (CDs, ZIP disks, floppies, HDs) using their volume name as the mount point.

It will optionally eject devices and let users mount/umount them.

Currently mmounter supports ext2, ext3, iso9660 (CD), HFS, and VFAT.

This tool is user-space only (doesnt require any kernel patching) and should be fairly portable.

File::MMagic is a Perl module to guess file type.

SYNOPSIS

use File::MMagic;
use FileHandle;

$mm = new File::MMagic; # use internal magic file
# $mm = File::MMagic->new(/etc/magic); # use external magic file
# $mm = File::MMagic->new(/usr/share/etc/magic); # if you use Debian
$res = $mm->checktype_filename("/somewhere/unknown/file");

$fh = new FileHandle "< /somewhere/unknown/file2";
$res = $mm->checktype_filehandle($fh);

$fh->read($data, 0x8564);
$res = $mm->checktype_contents($data);

Magic Cube 4D project is a four-dimensional Rubiks Cube.

MagicCube4D is a fully functional four-dimensional analog of Rubiks cube. The image above shows the puzzle in its solved state. Click on it for a simple resizable applet version that you can interact with to get a feeling for how it works. Download the full-featured application below and try to solve it. Please read the FAQ for a more complete description of the puzzle. If the Java applet or application fail to start you may need to install a Java virtual machine. Click here for a current one.

Don Hatch and Melinda Green have developed it on and off over several years. Jay Berkenbilt has recently joined us to help with Linux support and source control. Don and Jay were the first to have solved the puzzle making extensive use of the move macro facility in the UNIX version. Roice Nelson became the first person to solve the puzzle without using macros. For his solution, he extended Philip Marshalls 3D "Ultimate Solution to Rubiks Cube".

You can learn Roices solution if you dont feel like trying to solve it yourself first. Using his techniques, Roice and others have continued to find ever shorter solutions so that the record currently recovered by Roice required only 334 twists! You can find documentation of these and other milestones on the MagicCube4D Hall Of Fame page. If you solve it with or without reading the solution, send us your log file and well list you in the MagicCube4D hall of fame too!

The mathematically inclined may be interested to know that the number of possible states for the 4D cube is exactly

(24!x32!)/2 x 16!/2 x 2^23 x (3!)^31 x 3 x(4!/2)^15 x 4

which can also be expressed as

32! 24! 16! 2^22 6^32 12^15

Video::Info::Magic can resolve video filetype if possible.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Video::Info::Magic qw(:all);

my $type = divine(/path/to/video.mpg );

print $type; #MPEG system stream data (maybe)

## ... see methods below

EXPORT

various constants related to video file formats. All are prefixed with "VIDEO_".
divine(): Employs /usr/share/magic entries to determine a files type, as well as GUID and other info from Microsoft, mplayer, transcode...

Math::MagicSquare is a Magic Square Checker and Designer.

SYNOPSIS

use Math::MagicSquare;

$a= Math::MagicSquare -> new ([num,...,num],
...,
[num,...,num]);
$a->print("string");
$a->printhtml();
$a->printimage();
$a->check();
$a->rotation();
$a->reflection();

The following methods are available:

new

Constructor arguments are a list of references to arrays of the same length.

$a = Math::MagicSquare -> new ([num,...,num],
...,
[num,...,num]);

check

This function can return 4 value

0: the Square is not Magic
1: the Square is a Semimagic Square (the sum of the rows and the columns is equal)
2: the Square is a Magic Square (the sum of the rows, the columns and the diagonals is equal)
3: the Square ia Panmagic Square (the sum of the rows, the columns, the diagonals and the broken diagonals is equal)

print

Prints the Square on STDOUT. If the method has additional parameters, these are printed before the Magic Square is printed.

printhtml

Prints the Square on STDOUT in an HTML format (exactly a inside a TABLE)

printimage

Prints the Square on STDOUT in png format.

rotation

Rotates the Magic Square of 90 degree clockwise

reflection

Reflect the Magic Square
