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.

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!

[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 but I must say it is getting a little out of date.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/.

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. http://techspecialist.lockergnome.com/ ====== end Lockergnome Links ======== "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -NoHome Microsoft Portrait v1.08 [99k] W9x/2k/XP FREE http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/ "Microsoft Portrait is very low bitrate video conferencing software supporting MSN Messenger on PCs, Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs, and Internet Locator Service (ILS) on PCs.
