XML::RSS::Parser is a lightweight liberal parser of RSS feeds. This parser
is "liberal" in that it does not demand compliance of a specific RSS version
and will attempt to gracefully handle tags it does not expect or understand.
The parser's only requirements is that the file is well-formed XML and
remotely resembles RSS. Roughly speaking, well formed XML with a channel
element as a direct sibling or the root tag and item elements etc.
There are a number of advantages to using this module then just using
a standard parser-tree combination. There are a number of different RSS
formats in use today. In very subtle ways these formats are not entirely
compatible from one to another. XML::RSS::Parser makes a couple assumptions
to "normalize" the parse tree into a more consistent form. For instance,
it forces channel and item into a parent-child relationship.
xxdiff is a computer program that allows a user (usually a software
developer of some sort) to easily visualize the differences between
files. The manner and goal for which this process is applied over
multiple files is highly dependent on the application, and most of
the time is driven by custom user scripts.
For example, a configuration management engineer in a company might
provide some kind of merge policing environment, that allows software
developers to review changes in files for the purpose of accepting or
rejecting a submitted changeset to a codebase. Another example is
that of a developer wishing to review the changes he made to a
checkout of files from a source-code management system such as CVS,
Subversion, ClearCase, Perforce, etc.
Repetitive Strain Injury is an illness which can occur as a result of
working with a mouse and keyboard. This utility can be used to remind
you to take a break now and then. It will show you a random picture
from a collection you can configure yourself for a configurable duration
at a configurable interval.
You can use these breaks to do some stretch exercises for example, or as
a reminder to walk away from the computer for a while.
RSIBreak will sit in your system tray and when it is time for a break it
will show you the picture full screen. All timings can be set by clicking
with the right mouse button on the icon in the system tray.
The RPM Package Manager is a powerful command line driven package
management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software
package consists of an archive of files along with information about
the package like its version, a description, and the like. There
is also a related API ("Application Program Interface"), permitting
advanced developers to bypass 'shelling out' to a command line, and
to manage such transactions from within a native coding language.
The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph (formerly known as the Analysis &
Reconstruction Sound Engine), or ARSS, is a program that analyses a sound file
into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other
user-created image, back into a sound.
ARSS is now superseded by Photosounder, which makes use of most of the
techniques offered by ARSS in a simple to use and powerful graphical user
interface and built in editor.
Many audio synthesis and recording packages are in use or in
development. These work in many different ways. LADSPA
provides a standard way for `plugin' audio processors to be used with
a wide range of these packages.
For instance, this allows a developer to make a reverb program and
bundle it into a LADSPA `plugin library.' Ordinary users can then use
this reverb within any LADSPA-friendly audio application.
PulseAudio, previously known as Polypaudio, is a sound server for POSIX and
Win32 systems. A sound server is basically a proxy for your sound applications.
It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between
your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a
different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing
several sounds into one are easily achieved using a sound server.
Jellyfish is a tool for fast, memory-efficient counting of k-mers in DNA.
A k-mer is a substring of length k, and counting the occurrences of all such
substrings is a central step in many analyses of DNA sequence. JELLYFISH can
count k-mers quickly by using an efficient encoding of a hash table and by
exploiting the "compare-and-swap" CPU instruction to increase parallelism.
汉字转换器,可以在国标码(GB)和大五码(BIG-5)之间转换。
这个程序转换一个国标码(GB)文件为一个大五码(BIG-5)文件,或者一个大五码(BIG-5)文件为一个
国标码(GB)文件。GB(国标)是指中国大陆的“GB2312-80”的标准实现,用两个字节代表一个 GB 码,
重要位设置为1。BIG-5是指1984年由台湾信息产业研究所公布的大五码标准。

While preparing for a release 4.2 of the sdr-j software package,
we created two new programs
a DAB receiver
a broad spectrum version of the FM receiver
It is quite obvious that one can use a DAB stick to receive DAB
programs. However, the DAB software presented here is a real SDR
in that it uses the 8 bit I/Q samples of the DAB stick.
