DOWNLOAD: KeePass v0.92a [300K] Win9x/2k/XP FREE

http://keepass.sourceforge.net

{Password safe} Passwords are stored in an encrypted database using AES/Rijndael
ecrypted, SHA-
256 (as password hash). For organized freaks, the program supports groups for easy
password
sorting. It comes with a password generator, a search feature, and copying information to
the
Windows clipboard. KeePass doesn't install anything into the Windows environment or the
registries.
The settings are stored in a file in the same directory of the executable and lists can be
exported to
txt, html, xml, or csv files as well as printed. Nice and simple utility that can even be
translated to
other languages.

So when I found this site ( //www.menuetos.org ) while
researching operating systems I thought you might be
interested too...

DrawSWF v1.2.7 [633k] W9x/2k/XP FREE

http://drawswf.sourceforge.net/

{Drawing program} After loading the program and writing my name, I clicked Play and it
animated
the sequence as I drew it. That's all it took to create my first animated drawing in DrawSWF.
It's a
simple interface with basic tools for drawing lines, entering text, selecting line thickness,
drawing a
shape, or selecting a pen for free drawing. Every move you make is the order in which the
animation
will be presented unless you rearrange it in the drawing objects dialog box. Click on the Play
button
to preview your work in progress. When you complete your work of art, export it as a Flash
file and
select the speed of the animation. The file is saved as a SWF file, which is a Flash file. You
can try
before you download, since the application is available online (using Java) by clicking on
Web Start
on the Web site. It's a simple tool for those who want to try animating drawings without
paying the
price for a more complex and overwhelming product. Whoo whee, look at my stick figure
bike come
to life!

Mahogany v0.64 [3.8M] W9x/2k/XP FREE

http://mahogany.sourceforge.net/

{Mail news client} Mahogany is an OpenSource(TM) cross-platform mail and news client. It
supports
many Internet protocols and standards, including POP3, IMAP4 (and the secure versions
using SSL),
SMTP, and NNTP. Mahogany also supports MIME and many common Unix mailbox formats
(including MBX, MBOX, and MH). Because of its cross-platform capability, you can access
your e-mail
from all of the various machines that you use. All of Mahogany's features are configurable,
but it's
also plug-and-play, meaning you don't HAVE to configure anything to get going. The
program
integrates with other programs, such as a Web browser or an editor. Mahogany has built-in
filters,
message templates, multiple identities, support for a calendar (plug-in), an address book
(with vCard
support), synchronization with Palm, a built-in HTML viewer, X-Face support, and support
for
receiving faxes sent via EFax. In summary, it's a super-charged and super-geeky e-mail
client. [Meryl]

#Develop v0.92 [3.2M] W9x/2k FREE

//www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

{Program .net style} I'm not going to lie to you, I hate to program. I may have a computer
science
degree but I tried very hard to stick with hardware and only took the programming classes
that were
required for graduation. That doesn't mean that I don't have to program occasionally, and
when I do
I launch my copy of Visual Studio 5... but I must say it is getting a little out of date. I don't
want to
spend a lot of money to buy the new Visual Studio .Net because I just don't program
enough to
make it worth the expense. #Develop is an open source development environment for
creating C#
and VB.net projects. This application feels just like you are coding in Visual Studio and it
even has
syntax highlighting. With #Develop, you can even write ASP.NET, ADO.NET, XML, Java, and
HTML
code. On top of all of this, the program includes a forms designer and support for several
different
spoken languages. #Develop is quite impressive and I can truthfully say that I am surprised
that it has
been released as open source. I recommend that if you need to do some .Net coding that
you save
your money on Visual Studio .Net, and instead give #Develop a try. The worst thing that
could
happen is that you save yourself some cash!

New York Public Library: Digital Library Collection

http://digital.nypl.org/.

The New York Public Library (NYPL) is building a digital library of 600,000 images relating
to "arts,
humanities, performing arts, and sciences, including artwork, maps, photographs, prints,
manuscripts,
illustrated books, and printed ephemera." This is a phased rollout that is due to finish by the
year
2004. What this means to you is that the Web site is constantly changing, adding new
images and
information. If you are a fan of history and fine art, then you will love this Web site. If you
don't think
that you are a fan of such things, well... then this is the perfect opportunity to find out for
sure. I
wouldn't be surprised, though ,if you find that after viewing this Web site that you can't
resist adding
it to your Favorites list and making it a part of your daily Internet routine.

Remember that in an AC circuit, the power consumed by the PC's power supply is not
purely a
function of volts x amps = watts due to the phenomenon of inductive reactance. This is why
the UPSs
are rated in volt amperes more than Watts. Watts (volts x amps) are considered "true"
power
especially in a DC circuit, while volts x amps are considered "apparent power" of an AC
circuit. To
convert "apparent power" to "true power" multiply the AC volts x amps x the cosine of angle
"theta".
Angle theta is the "lead" or "lag" angle between current and voltage. The utility companies
have
found that by regulating the cosine of angle theta to a .9 lag, the power grid runs at its most
efficient.

full color video could never work. The portrait video is so small that it can even be
transmitted
through an HTTP proxy as text. Microsoft Portrait provides basic chat / voice / video
functions almost
anytime, anywhere, on any device. In version 1.08, portrait video comes with more gray
scales and its
visual quality is improved."
