Free stripes software for linux

Stripes Barcode Generator is a set of tools to produce barcodes, using a graphical tool, a command line, and a library (that can be used to integrate the engine with your application).
Enhancements:
- This first public release includes a basic set of tools to produce and integrate barcodes into other applications.
- It includes a library, a command line tool, and a graphical tool.
- At this moment, it is only supported one codebar format: CODE39.

archive2iso application takes a directory tree and randomizes the files in the tree to stripe the files across several ISO files that can be archived or burned off to a CD.

The intended use is to stripe files across multiple CD/DVD randomly so if one disc is damaged all the images that were in the same directory will not be lost since files are spread across multiple disks. The actual files themselves are not split, all files remain in their original state.

An example of an intended use is where you have a series of valuable vacation photos that could span 6 CD for all your photos in your collection. archive2iso would spread them out across the 6 CDs so if 1 of the 6 cds is lost, you only loose 1/6th of your images. Which is better than loosing all of them!

SYNTAX: ./archive2iso

EXAMPLE:

Enter Directory: /absolute/path - Files to archive = 910 - Estimated total Size = 632 MBEnter Max megabyte Size for the ISO/CD/DVD (1-4700): 100 - Estimated Num Disks = 7 /usr/tmp/disk_1.iso - 139 files at 99.6 MB /usr/tmp/disk_2.iso - 128 files at 99.8 MB /usr/tmp/disk_3.iso - 144 files at 99.9 MB /usr/tmp/disk_4.iso - 164 files at 99.7 MB /usr/tmp/disk_5.iso - 136 files at 99.9 MB /usr/tmp/disk_6.iso - 159 files at 99.9 MB /usr/tmp/disk_7.iso - 40 files at 32.8 MB Is the above disk configuration okay?Answer y or n: yNOTE: If the Disks do not look balanced then answer "n" and it will re-randomize. - Building ISO images

Wikipedia API is a simple API to embed Wikipedia content dynamically on a Web site.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia in which the user community is encouraged to submit information for its entries. Wikipedia is unique in that it is free to the public, the content is fairly well moderated, and its content is licensed under the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License); therefore, all of its text can be copied, modified, and used any way you see fit.

The only stipulation to using its text, is that the names of the original authors must remain intact. KillerTux.com is currently embedding some of the relevant entries in its own site and has decided to make the API open for public use. It is a simple implementation and should be easy to use. If you are a webmaster and would like to use KillerTux.coms Wikipedia API, this is the place to learn how to do it.

What is an API

An API is an application programming interface with which external applications can communicate with. The syntax and usage of the API dictates the type of data, format, and other specifics of the information to be exchanged. In this case, the API is a simple call to KillerTux.coms web server via the HTTP protocol.

Wikipedia API usage

The URL for the API is "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php". It uses the get request method and only has 3 parameters. These parameters are as follows:

wikititle=
wikiformat=[html | text]
wikiimages=[yes | no ]

The wikititle value is the name of the Wikipedia entry you are looking for, in Wikipedias variable entry. This can be found by going to Wikipedia.org and finding an entry. The name is the last part of the URL. For instance, the Wikipedia entry for "Computer Program" is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Program". Notice the space is an underscore in the URL. Defining the wikititle value for this API would look like this: wikititle=Computer_Program. This value must be specified. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program". The wikiformat value currently has two possible values: html and text. html is the default if no value is specified. If you use HTML format, it is recommended that a style sheet be used, although it may not be necessary.

A sample CSS is provided here. The text format option strips all HTML code from the document and returns plain text formatted at 80 characters per column. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program&wikiformat=html". The wikiimages value is only valid for HTML format; images for the text format are disabled. Image source locations are preserved and images are loaded from Wikipedia, not KillerTux.com. If wikiimages=no is selected, all images and captions will be striped from the document, while other HTML code should remain intact such as links to other articles. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program&wikiimages=no".

Card Terminal Driver Library aims to add support for smart card and magnetic stripe card terminals, such as the IBM 4779, to Linux, and other Posix compatible systems.

Things that should get done:

1) Add error checking to all routines (except read/write/open/close4779: those already include error checking and reporting.

2) Add to the examples in the examples directory.

3) Work on more abstract functions so we can integrate this with libcardterm (eventually). These include (amoung others):

InsertCard()
EjectCard()
ReadTrack()
SmartComm()
WriteDispAtPos()
GetPIN()
GetKeys()

4) Write README and INSTALL files

Linux NTFS provides Linux kernel drivers, a multiplatform NTFS library, and tools to create, resize, clone, rescue, query, label and fix NTFS volumes, and to undelete, resize, list, and query files for the filesystem used by Windows XP, 2003, 2000, NT4, and Longhorn.
Linux NTFS also provides support for the Logical Disk Manager (LDM) that controls Windows Dynamic Disks and is used to create software mirrors, stripes, and RAID.
Enhancements:
- Many improvements and fixes were made for all known problems to ntfsmount, ntfscluster, mkntfs, ntfsclone, ntfsinfo, and libntfs.

sidux-highway is a KDM theme as a modification of the Sabayon KDM theme "Open Future".

The highway picture was taken and modified by me, the go.png is taken from "crystalline black" icons (kde-look.org #46349), session.png and system.png are modified nuoveXT icons (kde-look.org #26449). The small pictures inside the monitor and folder are sidux wallpapers.

Modifications:

changed wallpaper and icons and resized and repositioned the userlist slightly, added missing screenshot

The highway picture is widescreen 1920x1200. Should be easy to resize it if needed. For your convenience I also have added a 1024x768 version, just rename it if you want to use it instead of the WUXGA picture.

To use the theme untar it to /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/ and either change your /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc manually or use kcontrol if you have the kdmtheme module.

ATTENTION: If you use a display height other than 1200 the position of the login area (that half transparent stripe) will be different from what you see in the preview. If you want to have the same position with another display height you can easily adjust it by editing the file highway.xml with your favorite text editor. Just go to line 49 and change the y-value that by default is "-485". Its an easy rule of three: lets say you have a display height of 800: 800x485/1200=323 - go and replace -485 by -323.
