GPGServices 1.5 - Sign and verify plain text in any application and more.. (Free)

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 03:00 AM PDT



GPGServices... based developments from far-blue.co.uk. The GPGServices service plugin adds to the global Services menu (in the Application menu) the facility to sign and verify plain text in any application that supports text services. The plugin also provides convenience facilities to import an ascii-armoured key from text in any application as well as return your default key, in ascii armoured format, and the keys fingerprint.

Signing and pasting your key or fingerprint require the host application to support pasting of text (so you will not be able to sign text highlighted in a pdf file in Preview, for instance). Verifying a signature and importing a key only require that you can highlight the text.

Version 1.5:

  • Issue 10: Feature: Encryption support for text (thank you Moritz).
  • Issue 21: Feature: Started encryption support for files (thank you Moritz).
  • Issue 17: Feature: Signing does not require a default key anymore (thank you Moritz).
  • Issue 2: Enhancement: Installer checks for GnuPG now.
  • Issue 5: Enhancement: Logout is not neccessary anymore.
  • Checksum: d3ff1ca41643c9aceeb714ef0ab7c0a9ae9f23d3 (SHA-1).

PressPerCent 2.9.1 - Ink pre-setting solutions for offset presses.. (Shareware)

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:27 AM PDT



The development of PressPerCent application started in mid 1990's. The purpose was to create a simple ink key pre-setting software tool - a popular subject at the time when press manufacturers and printers were searching for less expensive, space-saving solutions to replace hardware plate scanners (that never were extremely reliable, among everything else). Since then PressPerCent evolved to include more features the customers and OEM partners required, such as: support for the job format of virtually every press type and model, total ink calculations, spot color preview, automatic job processing via hot folders, flexible press configurations, etc.

Technically the application itself is just an area coverage calculator. It converts jobs in various input formats into bitmap images with relatively low resolution (its internal file format), then it counts number of pixels that have different color values in these bitmaps. This calculation is done for certain areas specified by user: entire printable area of the printing press, or page area of the job, or stripes that correspond to ink zones of offset (litho) printing press, or any rectangle that user drawn on screen using mouse.

Version 2.9.1:

  • Stability fixes for Hot Folders processing in Demo mode.
  • Internal changes to UI support code.

Crystals, Vol. 1, Pages 15-21: The First Lanthanide Telluride-Bromide: La3Te4Br, a Valence Compound

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 12:00 AM PDT

The first ternary lanthanide telluride-bromide La3Te4Br was obtained from a mixture of LaTe and LaBr3 (in the presence of iridium) in a sealed tantalum container at elevated temperatures. The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 1634.3(2), b = 435.0(1), c = 1426.6(2) pm, Z = 4, R1 (I0 > 2s(I0)) = 0.0349) is built from dicapped trigonal prisms of tellurium and bromine atoms surrounding lanthanum in two different ways. The dicapped trigonal prisms are connected via common edges to a threedimensional structure, in the same fashion as is known for the binary U3Te5. La3Te4Br is a valence compound according to (La3+)3(Te2-)4(Br-) and one out of three lanthanide telluride-halides known to date.

Why I love my 3DS even though I don't have any actual games for it yet (Nintendo 3DS)

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:21 AM PDT

I was over the moon like a gay nursery rhyme cow when I received a 3DS from Nintendo last week. What a lucky bastard. However. There has been a distinct lack of 3DS games arriving in the office to play. So I haven't played any actual 3DS games on it yet.

If this had been any other new electronic game-playing device, the absence of actual games to play could have been a disastrous turn of events. But not 3DS. Despite having nothing to shove into its slender little game slot, I have fallen in love with my 3DS. How has Nintendo's latest dual-screened lovely seduced me without the added allure of any card-based software? Like this...

Herald's appearance is highly customizable, allowing you to change the background color, text color, size, shadow, transparency, and position of the window. Herald even provides a scrolling text view so you can read full messages without having to switch back to Mail. Herald is a free download and requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Note: Mail plugins are not officially supported by Apple. While Herald has been thoroughly tested, it's possible it may cause unintented conflicts with Mail or with other unofficial Mail plugins, especially after OS updates. It's recommended that you backup your computer before installing Herald or any other Mail plugin, and always before installing any updates to Mail or OS X.

O'Connor: banned games "unlikely" to make R18+ cut

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 10:42 PM PDT

Federal Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor tells GameSpot it's unlikely that currently banned games will be re-classified even if an R18+ classification is introduced; remains hopeful that state and territories can reach a unanimous vote in support of R18+ at July's SCAG meeting.

Last month, Federal Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor told GameSpot AU he has high hopes for resolving the R18+ issue by July this year, relying on a unanimous vote in favour of introducing the adult classification for video games at the upcoming Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) meeting in Adelaide.

However, the question of what will happen to games currently rated MA15+ and Refused Classification (RC) has to date remained unanswered. Now, in an interview with GameSpot AU, O'Connor has shed more light on the soon-to-be-finalised R18+ draft guidelines, saying that it would be unlikely that games that have been refused classification (that is, banned) by the Classification Board of Australia would be re-classified into the R18+ category should the new rating be introduced. What is far more likely to happen, according to O'Connor, is the re-classification of MA15+ titles as R18+ (with a view to removing the modifications of current MA15+ titles that have had to undergo changes in order to pass within the current guidelines).

O'Connor also told GameSpot AU he will "seek advice" on other options if state and territory attorneys-general fail to reach a unanimous vote on the issue in July.

GameSpot AU: You keep mentioning that you will be considering "other options" should R18+ not get passed by consensus in July. What do you mean by this?

Brendan O'Connor: My wish is that all jurisdictions reach agreement [on R18+ for games]. However, there are different arrangements in different jurisdictions, so even when there is consent over an issue, each jurisdiction will approach it differently. My preference is that we should reach agreement because I think getting a consensus means the new reforms will work more effectively. What I've outlined to the attorneys-general at the SCAG meeting in New Zealand is that the Commonwealth believes these reforms are long overdue--they've been on the agenda for more than a decade. It's time to resolve the matter through discussion and agreement. However, I said I would take advice about what else we can do if this does not happen.

The reason I won't outline or foreshadow in detail what these other options are is because I want the focus to be on reaching agreement. I wrote to all jurisdictions yesterday and asked them to comment upon the draft guidelines that we put forward, and I'm asking them to get back to us by mid-April so we can work through any existing differences.

GS AU: Does the Commonwealth have the power to simply override SCAG if it wants to? Or are there other decision-making processes that must be done before this can happen?

BO: The Commonwealth will have to go through other decision-making processes before that can happen. But look, the issue here is public support: the public are overwhelmingly in support of introducing a classification that will allow adults to play adult games and protect children from harmful material. We've seen this support countless times: whether in the reviews or surveys or polls that we've conducted, the fact is that between 80 and 98 percent of people support R18+ for games in one way or another. I believe it's encumbered upon those who are resisting to explain their reasons. Yes, there may be some legitimate concerns about the guidelines, and because of this, I want to give the jurisdictions a chance to debate their differences. I'm still optimistic that they [the attorneys-general] will all come to the view that we need change.

GS AU: What's in the proposed guidelines? What do they say about a possible R18+ category and the current MA15+ category?

BO: The guidelines reflect the following propositions: one, that we need to allow for a set of classifications in games similar to those that we have in film; two, that we need to look at redefining the MA15+ category for games to make sure that games that are played by adults in other countries are not played by children in Australia; three, that we need to look at what a new R18+ classification for games would mean; and finally, that we need to maintain the current Refused Classification (RC) classification. I have significant concerns about games that depict gratuitous violence or sexual acts, and I want to make sure that the introduction of an R18+ classification would not allow such material into this country, or indeed any material that would offend a reasonable person.

GS AU: You've mentioned before that an R18+ for games could mean the re-classification of current MA15+ titles into the new category. What about current RC titles that are banned by law in Australia? Could they see a re-classification into R18+, should it be introduced?

BO: We don't refuse many games in Australia. But those games that are currently RC would most likely stay that way. The advice I have received is that it's far less likely that any game that has been RC would get into R18+ if the classification was introduced; it's far more likely that MA15+ games will be re-classified and fit more suitably into R18+. Having said that, it may be that some games that did not make it into MA15+ may find themselves in a position to get into R18+, but as always, these matters are entirely for the Classification Board. The re-classifying of MA15+ games would also mean that some of the modifications in current MA15+ games would no longer be necessary. My problem with these modifications and changes in MA15+ games is that it does not matter if the game has been modified to fit within the current MA15+ guidelines: the content itself is still adult, and should not be allowed to be accessed by minors. At the moment parents see the MA15+ sticker and think that it's some sort of signal that the game in question is suitable for anyone under the age of 18, which means 12 and 13-year-olds are playing these games. This has to stop. It's time for our classification system to grow up.

GS AU: Last month, the Classification Board effectively banned Warner Bros.' fighting game Mortal Kombat, slapping an RC rating on the title. The appeal by Warner Bros. to the Classification Review Board was also unsuccessful, meaning that the game is currently banned for sale in Australia. What are your thoughts on this decision? Was it a fair one, given games currently rated MA15+ feature similar violent content?

BO: I'm seeking a brief on that decision because there's been public disquiet on the issue. However, I have to point out that this is a Classification Board issue. The government's role is to determine the rules, not to apply them. What I want to do is make sure the rules are effective. As for the Mortal Kombat decision, it has no bearing on my interest in reforming this area. My concerns are broader: I want to fix the rules, not look at one matter over another.

GS AU: If an R18+ rating for games is passed, do you think there needs to be stricter control at a retail level where R18+ games will be sold?

BO: I definitely think it should be something we talk about, yes. However, I think the introduction of R18+ will act as a much better guide for parents than anything that happens at the point of sale. This is because parents will realise that these games are not suitable for children. They will suddenly become more involved in the decision process if R18+ for games is passed. Is it failsafe? No. But hey, just because people speed doesn't mean we can't have laws that govern how fast cars should be allowed to go. Laws send a message about what's acceptable behaviour in the community.

GS AU: It's great to see the Federal Government finally fighting for this issue alongside the gaming community. But why did it take you so long to form your position on this matter?

BO: The first thing I did as minister of Home Affairs was seek to get information on the current classification system in Australia. We had academics review the causal links between social behaviour and games, we had reviews done, surveys conducted, etc. I didn't state my position before because I did not want to prejudice the process until we had those results. I also prefer to do these things in-house with the government. But once we had all the evidence, I knew it was time to make our position public, especially given the overwhelming community support for R18+. And I think doing so, we have freed up the debate in the public forum.

As minster for Home Affairs, I have brought this issue to the state and territory attorneys-general three times. We have to make a decision now, because we cannot continue to go round in circles.

GS AU: Thanks for your time, minister.

BO: Thank you.
