L. 107–347, §2, Dec. 17, 2002, 116 Stat. 2900, provided that: "(a) Findings.—Congress finds the following: "(1) The use of computers and the Internet is rapidly transforming societal interactions and the relationships among citizens, private businesses, and the Government. "(2) The Federal Government has had uneven success in applying advances in information technology to enhance governmental functions and services, achieve more efficient performance, increase access to Government information, and increase citizen participation in Government. "(3) Most Internet-based services of the Federal Government are developed and presented separately, according to the jurisdictional boundaries of an individual department or agency, rather than being integrated cooperatively according to function or topic. "(4) Internet-based Government services involving interagency cooperation are especially difficult to develop and promote, in part because of a lack of sufficient funding mechanisms to support such interagency cooperation. "(5) Electronic Government has its impact through improved Government performance and outcomes within and across agencies. "(6) Electronic Government is a critical element in the management of Government, to be implemented as part of a management framework that also addresses finance, procurement, human capital, and other challenges to improve the performance of Government. "(7) To take full advantage of the improved Government performance that can be achieved through the use of Internet-based technology requires strong leadership, better organization, improved interagency collaboration, and more focused oversight of agency compliance with statutes related to information resource management. "(b) Purposes.—The purposes of this Act [see Tables for classification] are the following: "(1) To provide effective leadership of Federal Government efforts to develop and promote electronic Government services and processes by establishing an Administrator of a new Office of Electronic Government within the Office of Management and Budget. "(2) To promote use of the Internet and other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen participation in Government. "(3) To promote interagency collaboration in providing electronic Government services, where this collaboration would improve the service to citizens by integrating related functions, and in the use of internal electronic Government processes, where this collaboration would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the processes. "(4) To improve the ability of the Government to achieve agency missions and program performance goals. "(5) To promote the use of the Internet and emerging technologies within and across Government agencies to provide citizen-centric Government information and services. "(6) To reduce costs and burdens for businesses and other Government entities. "(7) To promote better informed decisionmaking by policy makers. "(8) To promote access to high quality Government information and services across multiple channels. "(9) To make the Federal Government more transparent and accountable. "(10) To transform agency operations by utilizing, where appropriate, best practices from public and private sector organizations. "(11) To provide enhanced access to Government information and services in a manner consistent with laws regarding protection of personal privacy, national security, records retention, access for persons with disabilities, and other relevant laws." Building a 21st Century Digital GovernmentMemorandum of President of the United States, May 23, 2012, 77 F.R. 32391, provided: Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies The innovative use of technology is fundamentally transforming how the American people do business and live their daily lives. Exponential increases in computing power, the rise of high-speed networks, and the growing mobile revolution have put the Internet at our fingertips, encouraging innovations that are giving rise to new industries and reshaping existing ones. Innovators in the private sector and the Federal Government have used these technological advances to fundamentally change how they serve their customers. However, it is time for the Federal Government to do more. For far too long, the American people have been forced to navigate a labyrinth of information across different Government programs in order to find the services they need. In addition, at a time when Americans increasingly pay bills and buy tickets on mobile devices, Government services often are not optimized for smartphones or tablets, assuming the services are even available online. On April 27, 2011, I issued Executive Order 13571 (Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service), requiring executive departments and agencies (agencies) to, among other things, identify ways to use innovative technologies to streamline their delivery of services to lower costs, decrease service delivery times, and improve the customer experience. As the next step toward modernizing the way Government works, I charged my Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO) with developing a comprehensive Government-wide strategy to build a 21st century digital Government that delivers better digital services to the American people. Today, the CIO is releasing that strategy, entitled "Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People" (Strategy), which provides agencies with a 12-month roadmap that focuses on several priority areas. The Strategy will enable more efficient and coordinated digital service delivery by requiring agencies to establish specific, measurable goals for delivering better digital services; encouraging agencies to deliver information in new ways that fully utilize the power and potential of mobile and web-based technologies; ensuring the safe and secure delivery and use of digital services to protect information and privacy; requiring agencies to establish central online resources for outside developers and to adopt new standards for making applicable Government information open and machine-readable by default; aggregating agencies' online resource pages for developers in a centralized catalogue on www.Data.gov; and requiring agencies to use web performance analytics and customer satisfaction measurement tools on all ".gov" websites. Ultimately, this Strategy will ensure that agencies use emerging technologies to serve the public as effectively as possible. As a Government, and as a trusted provider of services, we must never forget who our customers are—the American people. In order to ensure that agencies make the best use of emerging technologies in serving the public, I hereby direct each agency to take the following actions: (1) implement the requirements of the Strategy within 12 months of the date of this memorandum and comply with the timeframes for specific actions specified therein; and (2) within 90 days of the date of this memorandum, create a page on its website, located at www.[agency].gov/digitalstrategy, to publicly report progress in meeting the requirements of the Strategy in a machine-readable format. This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations, and with appropriate protections for privacy and civil liberties. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register. Barack Obama.

2.2-1 Corporation or Other Entity as a Party
Revised to January 1, 2008
You have heard that one of the
parties in this lawsuit is a person and the other is a corporation [or other
entity]. A corporation is an entity created by the law. All parties are
equal before the law.
The mere fact that one of the
parties is a natural person and one is a creation of the law should not play
any part in your deliberations. Rather, you must assess the claims and
defenses of all parties without regard to their status and treat all parties
in an equal and unbiased fashion.
This charge may be adapted to
accommodate particular entities, such as state agencies, government
subdivisions (e.g. municipality), partnerships or the like.

Apps for Tracking This Weekend's Blizzard
Snowmageddon is upon us, with a massive blizzard striking the East Coast this weekend.
That means you'll want to keep track of what's happening with the storm, as well as make sure you're spotting any major alerts for the storm moving through your area.
For many, the native weather app on your smartphone is probably not going to give you an accurate picture of what's going on.
For the weather nuts who want to see exactly how the storm is playing out in real time, there are a few cool apps for keeping track of what's happening.
They vary from go-to apps that will give you the most important information you need — like alerts — to apps that drill down to the exact moment the snow is expected to stop. The downside: a few of these apps cost money.
Here are a few good apps for keeping track of what's going on:
The Weather Channel. This free app is basically the go-to app for tracking the storm over the weekend. It will give you detailed alerts and estimates for your specific area as to whether it will continue to snow or not. The app drills down to the area code to find out the exact data you need.
Dark Sky. For serious weather trackers, this $4 app has an onscreen radar that tracks the storm's intensity to the minute, and it will give you a rough estimate as to when it will stop raining/sleeting/snowing/blanketing your area.
Kelvin Weather. If you want simplicity, this $2 app is minimalist and gives you the temperature and the local weather conditions in big lettering without much distraction.
Weather Underground. The free Weather Underground app relies on a huge network of local weather stations to determine exactly what the conditions and forecasts are for very specific areas. If you're in a more rural part of the state, you might have a better time getting an accurate forecast through Weather Underground.
NOAA Hi-Def Radar. For hyper-accurate, real-time renderings of the storm from satellite imagery, this $2 app is about as good as it comes. It updates quickly and has some of the best radar images in the industry.
Should you lose power, you can conserve your battery life by turning off the data connection in your phone's settings and relying on text messaging. You can access Twitter through text messaging, for example, by sending START to the number 40404.
Check out our past guide (posted during the Sandy hurricane) on a variety of apps and text messaging services that can help you follow the storm even when the power is out.

RICHMOND -- A city employee and union representatives Tuesday night called for Assistant City Manager Leslie Knight to be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into whether she misused public resources and mistreated employees.
Accompanied at the City Council meeting by more than a dozen people toting signs calling for an end to "corruption," library Finance Manager Stacie Plummer said Knight must be placed on leave to limit the chance for "persecution" of whistle-blowers who work under Knight.
"Lower level employees have been put on leave before for accusations nowhere near this serious," said Millie Cleveland, a spokeswoman for SEIU Local 1021, which represents nearly 400 city employees.
The city has hired a Sacramento-based law firm to investigate Plummer's accusations, which include charges that Knight used public employees and facilities to enrich herself with a trinket business operated on city property and used a city car and gas card for personal use.
Plummer's complaint also alleges that Knight, who oversees the city's Human Resources Department, used intimidation and reprisals to squelch complaints about her activities.
Plummer, 43, a city employee for more than two decades, prompted the investigation by circulating a 59-page complaint, including photographs, to top city officials and county, state and federal investigators.
The council and City Manager Bill Lindsay did not address the charges Tuesday nor the calls to put Knight on leave.
In a statement released last week, Knight's attorney, Thomas F. Bertrand of the law firm of Bertrand, Fox & Elliot, said, "We are confident that the city's independent review will exonerate Ms. Knight and establish that she acted at all times with honesty, integrity and in the best interests of the city." Bertrand added that Knight was honored with the Assistant City Manager of the Year award by the California League of Cities in 2010.
Lindsay has said it is important to allow the investigation to proceed without weighing in on the merits of the charges. The city has contracted Van Dermyden Allison Law to conduct the investigation. The $30,000 contract runs from Sept. 1 to June 30.
Plummer's complaint has not only triggered an internal probe but also drawn the attention of the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office and prompted the Federal National Telecommunications and Information Administration to open a review of the city's handling of a $400,000 federal stimulus grant.
Plummer alleges that she alerted Lindsay in August about tens of thousands of missing dollars in grant funds and was then threatened with discipline by another library official. The grant is aimed at increasing broadband use in low-income communities. The investigation began in October, Plummer said, and is ongoing.
Knight was one of Lindsay's first hires when he took the city manager position in 2005. Knight, 57, quit her post as Contra Costa County's Human Resources director to take over the top personnel post in Richmond.
Knight's base salary last year was $220,000, with total compensation of $281,507, according to this newspaper's public employee salary database.
Knight has received high praise from Lindsay, and the city has enjoyed improved fiscal health and a newfound reputation for professional management, a far cry from the crisis and corruption of the early 2000s. Knight also has a reputation as a strong negotiator on behalf of the city during contract talks with employee unions.
Cleveland said SEIU Local 1021 is in negotiations with the city for a new labor contract but that supporting Plummer and calling for Knight to be placed on leave had no bearing on the negotiations.

Material Breach of Contract
New November 1, 2009
The <party>
claims that the <other party> failed to <describe>
and that such failure was a material breach of the
contract. A breach of contract is material if it deprives a
party of a substantial benefit that the party reasonably
expected to receive under the terms of the contract. If you
find that <describe> was a substantial benefit and <other
party> failed to <describe>, then you will find <other
party> materially breached the contract.
See Shah v. Cover-It,
Inc., 86 Conn. App. 71, 75-76 (2004); Strouth v. Pools by Murphy & Sons,
Inc., 79 Conn. App. 55, 61 (2003); Bernstein v. Nemeyer, 213 Conn.
665, 672, 570 A.2d 164 (1990), in which the Connecticut Supreme Court endorsed
the use of the multifactor test set forth in the Restatement (Second) of
Contracts § 241 (1981):
determining whether a failure to render or to offer performance is material, the
following circumstances are significant: (a) the extent to which the injured
party will be deprived of the benefit which he reasonably expected; (b) the
extent to which the injured party can be adequately compensated for the part of
that benefit of which he will be deprived; (c) the extent to which the party
failing to perform or to offer to perform will suffer forfeiture; (d) the
likelihood that the party failing to perform or to offer to perform will cure
his failure, taking account of all the circumstances including any reasonable
assurances; [and] (e) the extent to which the behavior of the party failing to
perform or to offer to perform comports with standards of good faith and fair
The foregoing test may be
confusing for a jury. Courts purporting to apply the test generally look to
factors (a) and (d). See, e.g., Bernstein v. Nemeyer, supra, 213 Conn.
672; Strouth v. Pools by Murphy & Sons, Inc., supra, 79
Conn. App. 60-61. Additional factors of the test should be included in the
instruction if they apply.

When Apple migrated the Mac operating system platform to Mac OS X, one of the key components was an underpinning based on the FreeBSD operating system. The use of an open source operating system as the core has in turn led to an increase in the use and availability of free and open source software (FOSS). It is now much easier to develop software for the OS X platform (development software is included, instead of being an expensive addition) and this makes it both easier for people to get involved and more likely to take part in open source community projects.
As a knock on effect, web browsing in the free software space is now based around two main camps, those based on the Mozilla codebase (Camino, Firefox, Mozilla) and those based on the KDE sourced KHTML rendering engine (Safari and OmniWeb). Projects based on the former are completely free software, with both the rendering engine and interface being a free software project. The latter are not strictly free software, but the core rendering engine on which they rely is. It is only the interface which is not free software.
For the review, I'm going to be taking a closer look at the features and functionality of the three free software browsers—Mozilla, Firefox and Camino, and what differentiates the functionality of these three browsers from each other. I'll primarily be comparing speed and functionality, but I'll also use the opportunity to cover some of the issues that affect the browsers on individual sites. I'll then take a very brief look at the quasi-free software browsers; Safari and OmniWeb.
Web browsing in the free software space is now based around two main camps, those based on the Mozilla codebase (Camino, Firefox, Mozilla) and those based on the KDE sourced KHTML rendering engine (Safari and OmniWeb)
Mozilla Suite
The Mozilla project was borne out of the Netscape Navigator project; Mozilla being a combination of the term Mosaic killer (which is what they hoped Netscape would be) and a reference to Godzilla. Mozilla was also the name of the Netscape mascot—appropriately enough usually represented by a humanoid-lizard, like Godzilla. The Mozilla Organization was created in 1998 to create the next generation of Netscape and was registered as a not-for-profit organization (the Mozilla Foundation) in 2003. Today, Mozilla is the name used to refer to the range of browsers produced by the Mozilla group, notably the main Mozilla Suite and the forks of Firefox and Camino.
The Mozilla Suite is the name given to the software package that incorporates the functionality of a browser, email, newsgroup reader and HTML editor. The core of the Mozilla suite is the Gecko rendering engine which is also shared by Firefox and Camino. The Gecko engine is based on the HTML/XHTML, DHTML and other standards that make up the web environment and is specifically designed to render these in a consistent fashion across platforms. This means that you browse a page on Mac OS X and Windows within a Mozilla browser and get a consistent view. It also means that, in theory, different browsers that use the engine will have a consistent view. This isn't quite the case for reasons that will become clearer as I look at the other browsers from the Mozilla stable.
For example, let's look at the homepage for MCslp.com, my website, which is based on the WordPress blogging engine with a theme which is XHTML compliant. You can see how this looks in Figure 1.
As the larger "internet suite", the Mozilla browser is more geared toward users who want a consistent interface and environment for all of the browsing and internet needs. The interface, as shown in the figure, is based around the original Netscape browser. Shown is the Classic theme but a standard installation also includes the Modern theme which is a little more aesthetically pleasing. This retains the "toolbar" style of the original—including "handles" for moving the different toolbars around and changing their order and layout. You can also click on these tabs to "collapse" the tool bar so that it takes up less space. What you don't get in the standard format is a convenient search bar for Google or other sources; instead you get a button that takes you to a predetermined Search button and the location field doubles up as the source for search criteria. What you cannot do is customize the toolbar you can enable and disable buttons, but not actually modify or add to the suite of buttons.
Like Firefox, Mozilla supports both themes—which change the appearance of buttons and other aspects of the interface—and extensions, which provide additional functionality. For example there are extensions that provide Ad filtering, download management or additional information during browsing. For example, the LiveHTTPHeaders extensions can display the header information sent during an HTTP transaction—invaluable during development. Unlike Firefox there is no convenient extensions manager, and in fact Mozilla almost hides the existence of extension support from the application.
In terms of simple internet browsing Mozilla is more than capable. It does sometimes feel slower than the alternatives and there is often a discernable pause just before the page is displayed that can become a little frustrating. For simple text sites it isn't a problem, but those with heavy graphics, or complex tabular pages do demonstrate the problem.
In terms of the quality of the display and parsing, I experience very few problems with Mozillawhen laying out different pages and sites. The only times you experience any specific difficulty is either when the site is not standards compliant, in which case some interesting "default" choices are made about how to layout components, or where the site has deliberately used Internet Explorer capabilities to provide functionality. For example, some menus and items that rely on JavaScript or ActiveX simply don't work. I've also experienced some occasional issues when logging into sites through a simple password system. For example, my blog at Computerworld never loads properly after login. Again, I suspect this is more of an issue of the site code, rather than Mozilla, but it can be a frustrating experience.
Like Firefox, Mozilla supports both themes—which change the appearance of buttons and other aspects of the interface—and extensions, which provide additional functionality
Being a suite of internet applications, rather than just a bare browser, Mozilla has the benefit of including most of the tools you will need. I also love the way that you can read/reply to email directly from within Mozilla. This comes in particularly handy if you are frequently using sites that use email links; there is none of the delay sometimes experience while the OS works out what to do with the link. The embedded IRC client is also very handy. However, once you start using all of the components at the same time, you can sometimes experience some performance problems. Also, as a single monolithic application the memory usage can be prohibitive. Although memory management in OS X is efficient enough that you don't often experience problems, the memory issue is almost certainly related to some of the performance issues I experienced, especially while monitoring the load and memory usage of Mozilla while browsing various pages with all of the options enabled.
I liked Mozilla, but I have to admit to preferring other applications for my Email and chat requirements, and this is where Mozilla, as the "do all" application, starts to look like overkill if all you want to do is use the browser. A good example here of the limitations of the built in system is the address book. Within Mozilla you have your own special address book section, but this doesn't integrate with the OS X address book and that means you can't share instant messaging details with iChat and there is no provision for SMS messaging, an option built into the standard OS X Address Book application.
Where Mozilla is most likely to be used is within an organization where they want to standardize on a single platform for browsing and email access, and are probably supporting an LDAP server for address book functionality. In fact, I deployed Netscape Communicator, which provides similar functionality, in this way several years ago.

If you removed the web browsing component from Mozilla and turned it into a separate application, you would essentially get the Firefox application. It is a bare-knuckle, browser only, application that combines the Gecko display engine on top of the Mozilla application base to produce a light-weight internet browser. Because it's built on the Mozilla core you can add extensions (just as with Mozilla, although with a convenient extensions manager) and adjust the theme and display of the browser.
Because Firefox is just a browser it is a direct competitor to the standard Safari browser supplied with OS X and as a cross platform solution has obviously gained some popularity as a more secure alternative to Internet Explorer on Windows. Since Microsoft have dropped support for Internet Explorer support under OS X, it is often the main choice if the user is unhappy with Safari.
If you removed the web browsing component from Mozilla and turned it into a separate application, you would essentially get the Firefox application
Fortunately, Firefox has a lot of additional benefits that make it a popular alternative. The support for extensions enables the use of ad blocking and enhanced security functionality that Safari does not support. Many also find Firefox faster than Safari, although I have to admit to finding so little difference between the two that this wouldn't be my reason for choosing Firefox. The ad blocking extensions though are invaluable, and a combination of AdBlock and the filter updater (which automatically reloads new filter sets for you) can eliminate nearly all ads to the point where only interstitials remain. As with Mozilla, the rendering of Firefox pages is generally excellent, all because of the Gecko engine. The same, occasional, site-specific problems occur.
Unlike Mozilla, Firefox is more flexible in its interface. Toolbars are customizable, and, as can be seen in Figure 2, you get a convenient search field that can be used to search a variety of locations simply by selecting an alternate engine from the embedded popup. Tabs are also slightly better supported with switching between tabs noticeably faster (for me at least), and with convenient hot keys (Command-1, Command-2, etc.) for flipping between multiple tabs in a window.
Firefox is undoubtedly a very fast browser and is very quick and easy to use. With the extensions, particularly ad blocking, Firefox becomes an even faster alternative to the full Mozilla Suite product. You may not get the embedded mail/news reader, address book and IRC, but you get the flexibility to use other clients that may contain richer features (I find Apple's Mail best for Email), and the reduced memory footprint is certainly an improvement if you have 512MB of RAM or less. If free software mail/news tools are important then Thunderbird, also from Mozilla, is their standalone email application.

The Camino project is based on the same rendering engine as both Mozilla and Firefox, but unlike these two packages, the Camino interface is designed to be more Mac OS X like, rather than the architecture neutral interface offered by its brethren. The effect provides all of the power and speed of the Firefox browser—Camino is just a browser—but with the OS X look and feel.
The architecture neutral format of both Mozilla and Firefox is obviously a benefit in a cross platform environment, but some prefer the look and feel of OS X. Most of the basic look and feel remains the same; key differences when browsing are the use of the OS X style popups, fields and buttons in the display, as you can see here in Figure 3. The most significant differences are in the dialog boxes. For example, the preference panel looks and works almost identically to the main OS X System Preferences application.
The other main aim of the Camino project is to produce a very fast browser. Based on the same Gecko engine the Camino project includes some improvements and uses the functionality of the OS X display engine to help improve the overall speed of displaying web pages. The result is quick—pages display very quickly, even the complex ones. There are some problems, well documented on the site, that can cause some interesting effects, but as a product still considered young and in pre-release form (the latest at time of writing was 0.8.4), Camino is still impressive.
Although Camino includes a lot of integration with OS X—for example the bookmarks integrate with Rendezvous and the standard Address Book to include sites described in these repositories—Camino is not a typical Mozilla project. The extensions and themes supported by both Mozilla and Firefox are not supported. Although the themes limitation makes sense (since Camino is essentially permanently in the "OS X" theme) the lack of extension support means that we cannot block ads. Ironically, this often has the effect of severely slowing down the browsing experience. Most of the extensions are not supported because they rely on the XUL interface for configuration, which is not included in the Camino project.
Although Camino is very quick and is the most OS X-friendly of the Mozilla applications, the occasional display problems can be a pain. Also, the lack of extension support, which eliminates the ability to filter adverts, is a feature that Camino could certainly take advantage of. If you browse an intranet or other controlled sites where adverts are not a problem then Camino is probably the best of the bunch, but if you need ad blocking you will need to consider Firefox.

Safari and OmniWeb
When Apple launched Safari the OS X community was rightly amazed. It included a number of features that in todays browsers we take for granted. Easy access to Google, for example, was functionality we didn't have in Internet Explorer, and Firefox was not available at the time. Snapback functionality (which takes you back to a Google, or indeed any other, page after clicking through other choices) makes it easy to browse sites without losing your root. Finally the integration with the operating system is absolute—in the latest versions, you can even synchronize your bookmarks between Macs using the Apple .Mac service.
Most interesting of all, Safari uses the KHTML rendering engine. KHTML is part of the Konqueror browser and the KDE Project, a desktop environment commonly used under Linux. The KHTML engine is incorporated into what Apple call the WebKit core, which provides HTML rendering for a variety of systems within OS X, including Safari, Sherlock and the built-in help system. The KHTML engine is a mature product and the rendering of HTML pages is based on the same open standards for HTML that drive the Mozilla project. There are some circumstances, just as with Mozilla, where you get odd rendering issues but they are few and far between and again very site specific. The use of free software is perhaps not that surprising—Mac OS X is itself built on top of the free software Darwin project which is in turn based on the FreeBSD operating system.
Unfortunately, although KHTML is a free software project, Safari is not and therefore cannot strictly be included in this roundup review. In terms of functionality, Safari is probably closest to the Camino project, it supports browsing tabs and integrates well with the rest of OS X, but it does not do ad blocking as standard. There are however some products that support this (PithHelmet for example).
Also based on the KHTML engine is the OmniWeb browser from OmniGroup Software. OmniWeb is a commercial product and is one of the richest of the browsers available for the platform. It supports a number of features designed to make it easier for people who do a lot of browsing to organize their environment. For example, as well as supporting text tabs, OmniWeb also supports icon tabs, which show a live thumbnail of the tabbed page. You can also create multiple workspaces—these are groups of windows (including all the tabs in each window) and the information in a workspace is retained, even across application restarts. This means that you can create individual workspaces for different projects or tasks; I have separate workspaces for shopping, business work, recreation and a "transient" workspace that I use to browse the pages that I'll probably only ever view once.
If what you want is a plain and simple web browser that is free software based then really your choice is limited to Firefox or Camino. Mozilla, while a very capable browser, is technically a complete internet suite and you will only get the best out of Mozilla if you are also happy to use the included email, news and IRC clients.
Camino offers the best all round environment, from an OS X perspective, simply because it offers the best integration with the system and retains the look and feel of the operating system. However, Camino does not support the entire range of Mozilla extensions and this means that if you want to avoid adverts or improve the security of your browser you may want to consider the Firefox project instead.
Firefox is fast, configurable and supports all of the extensions and themes you would want to use. It lacks integration with the operating system, storing authentication information in its own database instead of the keychain for example, and there is no syncing of bookmarks through .Mac or iSync. However, it remains the strongest choice in the free software market.

Subject: Disappointing review
I found this review of "free and open source browsers" on OS X to be quite disappointing. Your article as it stands would be better titled "Mozilla Browsers for OS X" as that seems to be its focus. You bring up two WebKit/WebCore based browsers (Safari and OmniWeb) only to dismiss them for being open source, and yet you fail to cover any WebKit-based browser that *is* open source. Shiira (http://hmdt-web.net/shiira/en) is becoming increasingly popular amongst Mac users. It is an open-source WebKit-based browser similar in feel to Safari yet with more features.

You didn't spend much time checking one area where these browsers seem to differ a lot: printing. It's been a while since I did the comparison, but when I compared printouts of various pages, all but Camino tended to completly mangle tables. Also, Camino seemed to be the only one that figured out "print selection only" is crucial to decent web printing.
Howto Print Selection on a Mac
To Print a Selection: Make a selection, Select Print, Click on Copies and Pages, Select Firefox, Check Print Selection Only, Click Print Its that Easy!
don't work
In my Firefox 188.8.131.52 on mac os 10.4.8 "print selection only" is disabled, I can't enable it, it's grey.
Same here
I have the same problem. Does anyone have a solution?
Print selection with Firefox in OS X
Great tip! Thanks a bunch.
I also had the same problem. It seems it is connected to changing the other settings in the Mac OS printing dialogue. After resetting "Presets" to "Standard", I was able to use "Print Selection Only". I have yet to find out what changes prevented it from working. (Version 188.8.131.52)

8 vehicles involved in crash on NB I-35, Southwest Boulevard
Kansas Highway Patrol investigating
UPDATED 8:21 AM CDT Mar 27, 2013
Kansas City, Kan., police said at least eight vehicles were involved in a crash on northbound Interstate 35 at Southwest Boulevard Wednesday morning.
The crash was reported about 6:30 a.m. Police said one vehicle overturned.
Northbound lanes were closed for about a half-hour. Just after 7 a.m., authorities were allowing one lane to thread through. An hour later, all northbound lanes reopened.
It's not clear how many people were hurt, but two ambulances were seen leaving the scene.
The Kansas Highway Patrol told KMBC's Brenda Washington that ice on the highway caused this chain-reaction crash.

About the Book
Africa United is the story of modern-day Africa told through its soccer. Traveling across thirteen countries, from Cairo to the Cape, Steve Bloomfield meets players and fans, politicians and rebel leaders, discovering the role that soccer has played in shaping the continent. He recounts how soccer has helped to stoke conflicts and end wars, bring countries together and prop up authoritarian regimes.
A lively and elegantly reported travelogue, Africa United calls attention to the amazing relationships between people and soccer, and to the state of Africa on the cusp of the biggest moment in its sporting history, the 2010 World Cup.

BERKELEY -- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's April 22 "How Hot Will it Get?" lecture may not have presented incontrovertible answers to the talk's title question, but it did provide concrete proof of one, undeniable fact: Berkeley is a hotbed of citizens concerned about climate.
From the snaky line, winding its way along Addison Street outside the Berkeley Repertory Theatre (and delaying the start by nearly 30 minutes) to the rhetoric-laden dissertations disguised as audience questions, it was local reality drama.
The story line of the panel -- LBNL scientists Bill Collins, Margaret Torn, Jeff Chambers and Michael Wehner, and Maximilian Auffhammer of UC Berkeley -- was grim.
A well-respected group of climate, carbon, ecosystem and eco-economist scientists consult a "crystal ball" of rock-solid research and determine the Earth will someday boil. Or at least, is growing warm enough to release 2,500 year-old carbon, change the arctic topography, alter forever the land's forestation and turn hurricanes, droughts, floods and extreme temperature spiking into increasingly commonplace occurrences.
"These models are a synthesis of our knowledge," physicist Collins began, as charts and diagrams showed precipitous inclines. "We've experienced a billion percent (warming) increase since climate research began in the 1960s."
Most compelling were figures associated with "The Angry Summer of 2012/13." Australia experienced 123 record-breaking weather events in 90 days and Collins recalled airplanes "buckling" as their skins peeled in the 120 degree heat.
"What's going to happen in the future?" he asked. "The more (greenhouse gases) we emit, the higher the carbon dioxide. You know, we've invented a time machine: it's called your car engine. It's taking us back in time to compound concentrations we haven't seen in 34 million years."
Perennial frozen ground and the carbon released as it melts in Barrow, Alaska, caused Torn to highlight smaller-scale ecosystems.
Her research showed that slipping houses, "drunken" trees and changes in moss, lichen, and blueberry shrubs reveal how destabilization caused by melting ice activates microbes and unlocks carbon dioxide and methane. Confusingly, the atmospheric warming also creates taller plants with increased cooling potential.
How do scientists make complex, conflicting research results palatable in a sometimes bitter, polemic debate on global warming?
To answer in part, climate scientist Wehner focused only on extreme weather.
"Are recent weather events the result of global warming and how is global warming changing their magnitude?" he asked.
Without a true "crystal ball," Wehner relied on historical and statistical projection models, saying a 2003 European heat wave was 35 times more likely to occur in 2023. A 2010 Russian heat blast that caused 50,000 more deaths than normal, was 10 times more likely in the not-so-distant future.
Urgency took over the plot line as Chambers described how 25 percent of the audience's emitted CO2 was being "mopped up" by forests. And another quarter percent was stripping the ocean of brightly-colored coral reefs.
"It's so hard not to get swept up in the science and forget this stuff can be destructive," he said.
Auffhammer pulled all the loose ends together with economic alacrity.
"You know you're at a nerdy event if they bring out a German economist to close the show," he joked.
Auffhammer said the major greenhouse gas-emitting countries are "a long way" from agreement. Emissions standards are a high-cost solution and he favored taxes, because they make people pay the full cost of global warming activities.
"Look at the percentage an air conditioner is of your income now, (compared to) 20 years ago. It's astounding. It's artificially cheap because we're not paying for it fully."
Instead of trying to convince 200 countries to "hold hands" in global accord, he suggested aiming for 20 countries agreeing to tax carbon and use California-style cap-and-trade regulations.
During the public question period, Torn introduced the evening's first glimmer of hope, saying, "California has found the will to take a different path. We have a binding executive order to reduce emissions 20 percent by 2020."
The event was live-streamed and LBNL Community and Media Relations Manager Jon Weiner said 300 online viewers participated. AYouTube video will soon be available at http://www.youtube.com/berkeleylab.

All parts of drumstick tree are useful and have long been used for nutritional, medicinal, and industrial purposes. The drumstick pods or fruits are used as a vegetable in curries and soups and very popular in Indian food. Crushed drumstick leaves are used as a domestic cleaning agent; powdered seeds are used for clarifying honey and sugarcane juice, and for purifying water. Moringa seeds produce oil, also known as Ben oil, which is a sweet non-sticky oil that doesn't become rancid. This oil is used in salads, for lubricating machines, and in perfumes and hair-care products.
The seeds are also eaten green, roasted, powdered and steeped for tea or used in curries. This tree has in recent times been advocated by organizations such as Trees for Life as an outstanding indigenous source of highly digestible protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin C, and carotenoids suitable for use in regions of the world where malnourishment is a major concern.
Drumstick and HealthQuick Facts
Almost all parts of the drumstick tree have medicinal value. The small, round leaves are especially beneficial in treating many ailments because of their high iron content and many medicinal properties.
Drumstick leaves can be eaten fresh, cooked, or stored as dried powder for many months without refrigeration, and reportedly without loss of nutritional value. Where starvation is imminent, consuming the drumstick-leaf powder can be life-saving.
According to the Trees for Life organization, "ounce-for-ounce, Moringa leaves contain more Vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more Vitamin C than oranges, and more potassium than bananas," and that the protein quality of Moringa leaves rivals that of milk and eggs.
Because of the high calcium, iron, and vitamins, drumstick leaves can be used as a wonderful tonic for infant and growing kids and teens to promote strong and healthy bones and for purifying the bloodstream. To prepare the tonic, drumstick leaves should be ground with water, filtered, and mixed with milk.
Drumstick-leaf juice is also very beneficial for pregnant women as it can help them overcome sluggishness of the uterus, ease delivery, and reduce post-delivery complications. In India, drumstick leaves are boiled in water and salt, the water is drained, and the leaves are served with ghee (clarified butter) to lactating mothers to increase breast milk.
Drumstick leaves are very useful in treating wheezing, asthma, bronchitis, and tuberculosis. A soup prepared by boiling a handful of leaves in 3/4 cup water for 5 minutes and cooled is served to those with respiratory problems. A little salt, pepper, and lime juice can be added to this soup.
Drumstick has antibacterial properties and as such is very useful in preventing infections such as those of the throat, chest, and skin. Drumstick soup can be prepared from the leaves, flowers, and pods and used for this purpose as an antibiotic. Dried and powdered bark of the drumstick root can also be used for fungal skin infections.
Drumstick leaves, flowers, and seeds are useful in treating sexual debility and weakness.
A teaspoonful of fresh drumstick-leaf juice mixed with honey and a glass of tender coconut water taken 2-3 times a day is a wonderful remedy for digestive disorders like diarrhea, dysentery, colitis, jaundice, and cholera. Drumstick-leaf juice is also effective in treating urinary disorders such as excessive urination.
Drumstick-seed oil is useful in treating conjunctivitis.
Fresh drumstick-leaf juice mixed with lime juice can also be applied to treat pimples, acne, and blackheads.

I've been playing around with fuppes with my PS3 but thought I would give this server a try, especially because there doesn't seem to be any way to get subtitles with fuppes.
This may be a newbie question, but I am confused about whether DVD content (i.e., a VIDEO_TS folder) is being resampled when streamed to the PS3. Would I get better quality by just playing the raw VOBs directly (as served by fuppes), or am I getting identical audio/video quality from PS3 Media Server?
Other potentially relevant info: I have an HDMI receiver and 1080p digital projector. Since this is only DVD content, it should only be 480p. The entire LAN is gigabit Ethernet.
Basically, what I'm looking for is to serve media in as lossless a format as possible to the PS3. I believe when I'm just playing VOBs served by fuppes, it is equivalent to having a physical DVD in the PS3 (other than the slight annoyance that it doesn't read the menus/etc., so it just plays through the titleset one VOB at a time). Is PS3MS already doing this? If not, is it configurable to do this?

The acquittal of a neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot an unarmed African-American teenager reverberated throughout churches and city streets Sunday as protesters demanded justice, while others were left to question just how much progress the nation has made when it comes to race.
In San Jose, about 50 critics of the verdict gathered outside City Hall on Sunday evening, while in Oakland hundreds of demonstrators again marched through the downtown and blocked streets even as property owners continued cleaning up storefronts damaged in a chaotic overnight protest.
Aware of simmering tensions, President Barack Obama on Sunday asked the nation to accept a Florida jury's decision to acquit George Zimmerman, who is of European and Peruvian descent, in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
"I know this case has elicited strong passions," the president said. "And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken."
The Justice Department said Sunday it would review Zimmerman's case for possible federal civil rights violations.
Martin's slaying in the central Florida town of Sanford early last year set off a national debate about racial profiling and race relations.
Attorneys for Zimmerman, upset about break-ins in his neighborhood, said he shot Martin in self-defense during a struggle. Civil rights leaders, who fought for weeks to get criminal charges filed against Zimmerman, questioned why he deemed the unarmed teenager, dressed in a hooded sweatshirt, to be suspicious.
Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris criticized prosecutors and said their evidence didn't support a murder conviction.
"The travesty in this whole case is that a young man minding his own business was deemed suspicious and wound up dead," he said.
The late Saturday verdict sparked protests in several California cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, but Oakland's was the only one marred by violence and vandalism.
Protesters beat one man in a Broadway doorway near Frank H. Ogawa Plaza until other protesters ended the skirmish. The man was helped to his feet and did not appear seriously injured.
Other protesters took out their frustration on buildings. Sears, the Oakland Tribune, several banks and at least two restaurants all had windows broken. A BART police car was vandalized, and several garbage bins were overturned and set ablaze. Police made no arrests during the protest, which drew about 100 people.
In a Sunday statement, Mayor Jean Quan said the episode was "unacceptable" and would not be tolerated.
Protesters in San Jose talked about boycotting the state of Florida and hoped that Zimmerman would face civil rights charges.
"I have a problem when somebody acts as a vigilante and kills a child," Alicia Carbajal, 64, said. "This was not justice at all. Trayvon was murdered."
The Martin case touched a nerve in Oakland, the city where Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a BART officer four years ago and where the police department is under federal supervision in part over a failure to stop racial profiling.
"I think there's a rawness ... on both sides that makes it more profound here," said Olis Simmons, who runs the nonprofit Youth UpRising.
During a Sunday morning sermon, Pastor Zachary Carey of True Vine Ministries in West Oakland criticized the "senseless" vandalism, but gave a grim assessment of the verdict's underlying message.
"In America, it doesn't matter if you're just walking home," he said. "To them, we're all criminals. If you're black, you're a criminal."
For many in the pews at True Vine, the verdict confirmed two unpleasant but deeply held beliefs: that the election of an African-American president doesn't necessarily mean the nation fully values their lives, and that the most vulnerable people in a society rife with fear of young African-American men are those young men, who must deal with people clutching their bags or questioning them as they approach.
"You can see some of the other races, how they look at you with that suspicious eye," said 37-year-old Lamar Brantley, of Oakland. "A person that's fearful is liable to do anything. It does make me fearful at times."
Ronda Johnson said the verdict is a reminder that her sons face many threats, be it from gangs or the police.
"We raised our boys to be hypervigilant," she said. "They know that if a police officer talks to them, they need to watch their tone of voice."
Carey urged parishioners to turn outrage over the verdict into positive action.
"We should be marching on every state capital in America," he thundered. "We should march on Washington and tell them that this is no longer acceptable in America, and we're not going to take it anymore."
Simmons said she is still struggling with what to say Monday to the teenagers in her program.
"I have to tell them the same thing I told them during the Oscar Grant stuff," she said. "That violence isn't justice. And that civic engagement leads to justice."

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco City Hall could be filled once again with naked people on Tuesday when the city's Board of Supervisors is expected to give its final approval to a citywide ban on nudity.
Several nudists stripped down on Nov. 20 when the board gave initial 6-5 approval to the ordinance, introduced by Supervisor Scott Wiener, and said they plan to do the same Tuesday.
The legislation would amend the city's police code to prohibit nudity on city streets, plazas, sidewalks and other public spaces, with exceptions for permitted parades, fairs and festivals.
Activist Gypsy Taub, who has organized several nudist rallies, wrote on her website to encourage opponents of the ordinance to speak out at Tuesday's meeting and to take action if the legislation is passed.
"If they reject the ban - we celebrate our victory," Taub wrote. "If they approve the ban we all get naked! Either way it's going to be fun!"
At the Nov. 20 meeting, sheriff's deputies were ready with blankets that they draped over people who stripped off their clothes. The protesters were then escorted out of the meeting.
If the approval is finalized, the ordinance would take effect on Feb. 1, 2013, although opponents have also filed a lawsuit seeking to block the legislation.
The ordinance would set fines that start at $100 and rise for each additional offense within a year. Violators would not be required to register as sex offenders.

Never-the-less, the band opens with an A-Train containing a nice Mike Solo. Del Martin, the sound engineer, requests 'Clod', but Trey rejects the request, perhaps one of the few actual rejections that the band has given (see also 12/14/95 or 11/22/97). The YEM here is dedicated to a classmate of Trey's, who apparently was in class with Trey while he wrote the introduction to the song. THere are heavy DEG teases in this version if you are a fan of YEM>DEG.
Light Up serves as the band's sole real depart from their standards, however, it's short and sweet. Trey hardly even introduces Fishman during I Didn't Know, only acknowledging him as Moses. The GTBT closer is scorching here, though, with lots of screechy Trey wail.
Really, not much to see here. A short set with limited replay.

John E. Sununu: Music dinosaurs pick a bad fight
Today, performers are separated from fans by just a mouse click, and the resulting downloads are easier to audit than the shady music-industry accounting of yesteryear. The new business models are far from perfect, but they�re improving, and they�re putting more power into the hands of creators.

December 5, 2005
On Tuesday Augusta voters will choose between Deke Copenhaver and Willie Mays for mayor. Now, both candidates' names are in the middle of what some are calling last minute dirty politics. News 12 is here to explain.
When it all started, the candidates in the mayoral race said they were pleased that this campaign season had been free of any dirty politics and mudslinging. But now that may have changed after several controversial flyers were distributed. But the problem is no one knows who to blame.
"It is a dirty trick. We don't know whether this was a republican trick, overzealous democrats or a combination," said Lowell Greenbaum.
Local Democratic Party Chairman Lowell Greenbaum says he will find out who's behind the hundreds of cards being mailed out under the name Democrats for Black Augusta, urging voters to elect Willie Mays, Freddie Handy and A.K. Hasan in the runoff, with a tag line "Support Those Who Support Us."
"If I as a white person receive this in the mail and wasn't politically smart, I'd say this is wrong, I'm not going to vote for this guy. That's the dirty trick here," Lowell said.
Deke Copenhaver held a press conference on Monday along with Helen Blocker-Adams and Tommy Boyles announcing plans for a special taskforce. But he took a minute to respond to speculation that his campaign is behind the cards.
"And I can tell you absolutely, unequivocally, I had nothing to do with that whatever it is, nobody in my campaign did," Copenhaver said.
This all comes two days after a flyer was distributed linking Copenhaver and Blocker-Adams with comments attributed to State Rep. Sue Burmeister. Under their picture it says 'they won't come out for a runoff.' The flyers were passed out under the name Friends to Elect Willie Mays. Which resulted in Deke Copenhaver demanding an apology from Mays. Mays says his camp is not responsible for the flyers, and thinks Copenhaver should be more concerned about his political relationship with Burmeister.
"And to have someone on there at the top of your stationary, maybe that's what he needs to be disconnected from, not trying to run me around for an apology for something I don't even know about," Mays said.
And Helen Blocker-Adams says she believes Mays had nothing to do with the flyers.
"There's no way in the world Mr. Mays could have approved this, for one thing, his name is spelled on there wrong twice," Adams said.

It was truly an emotional evening at Nelson County High School, where hundreds came together to support Alexis Murphy's family as they dealt with what they call every parent's nightmare.
"I just want my baby back," Laura Murphy said.
Alexis Murphy's mother, Laura, cries desperately as she waits for any news that could bring her missing daughter back.
"She's a good child. It's not like her, for her just to not call," Laura said.
Thursday's vigil marked the fifth day of Murphy's disappearance. As family, friends and even strangers gathered, her mother offered an emotional plea.
"Please just let her go and come home, that's my baby," Laura said.
Murphy's father, Troy Brown, spent Thursday putting up posters in an effort to raise awareness for his missing daughter, hoping that someone, anyone, can help find her.
"I have to be strong to keep finding my daughter, keep my strength up, hope and I just have to keep staying out there trying any and everything I can to find my daughter," Troy Brown said.
But it isn't just Alexis' family who are worried.
"My children are about her age. This doesn't happen here. I can't imagine their pain."
Hundreds of people braved the rain to show their support, to light a candle and to offer messages of hope to the missing teen.
"Alexis, if you can hear me, this is your dad. I'm letting you know that I won't give up. I want you home. I'm going to keep trying, trying and trying. I won't stop," Troy Brown said.
Thursday night's vigil was held at Nelson County High School were Alexis is supposed to start her senior year on Monday.

HANOI, 27 June 2012 - The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Viet Nam's Foreign Investment Agency (FIEs) rolled out a new industrial investment report for the country today. The paper is backed by a monitoring platform which will highlight investment opportunities in the country.
The report was based on a survey of 1,494 enterprises operating in industry and construction, with FIEs accounting for 58 per cent of respondents.
In parallel, with an investment of USD 975,000 from the UN Foundation, the platform will monitor approximately two thousand enterprises in nine provinces across Viet Nam. Thirty three per cent of these are small and medium enterprises, most of involved in engineering, textile and garment, rubber and plastics.
"In recent years, Viet Nam has recorded a rather high industrial growth rate largely due to the high levels of foreign direct investment which impacts should be better evaluated. The platform will provide a better guide to manage these projects," said Do Nhat Hoang, head of MPI's foreign investment department during the launch.

My specs are a FreeBSD 7.1 box with a P4 2g and 1.2 GB of RAM, 100Mb connection.
- Code: Select all
[mkfifo] INFO 23:51:44.044 Starting mkfifo --mode=777 /var/tmp/javaps3media/1236059503987videoout
[Thread-63] DEBUG 23:51:44.068 mkfifo: illegal option -- -
[Thread-63] DEBUG 23:51:44.070 usage: mkfifo [-m mode] fifo_name ...
So, I guess the code is trying to invoke mkfifo using --mode, where that's not going to work on my system. I could obviously trick the system into allowing that commandline argument, but I thought I'd pass this along. The correct command line is mkfifo -m for FreeBSD. If I change getPipeProcess() in net.pms.io to account for BSD in the Platform.isMac() test, I get around this error, FYI.
I also run into mktemp issues, too:
- Code: Select all
"mktemp: option requires an argument -- t"
I'm assuming that we're running into executable command line incompatibilities. It would be nice to have a build that would use mkfifo with the argument "-m" instead of "--mode" and likewise with mktemp (-t needs an add'l arg).
But even after circumventing both of these issues, the tmp files are still not being seen:
- Code: Select all
Starting mkfifo -m 777 /var/tmp/javaps3media/1236061450979videoout
mkfifo: setmode: No such file or directory
Please help. This software is awesome.

So it is, the idea that broadcast television
is obsolete and should be eliminated has
permeated the collective mindset, like Crocs
or pet rocks. There is no discussion about
what the country would look like without the
medium that conveyed to nearly every man,
woman and child in the country that President
John F. Kennedy was felled by an assassin.
Even within the broadcast community,
there are frustrated conversations in general
agreement that broadcast has had its
day. The exasperation is due in part to the
discordant nature of the industry, comprised
as it is of hundreds of businesses of every
imaginable size, all competing among
themselves. Getting them all on the same
page at the same time is virtually impossible.
It doesn't help that the ownership
demographic is almost exclusively older,
white and male, countervailing the medium's
public service justification in terms of
Broadcasting has a lot going against it
right now, including its heavy reliance on
retrans fees. Cable and satellite aren't going
to oppose spectrum reclamation, especially
with cable shedding subscribers. All the
traditional distribution networks are under
pressure, not just broadcasting, which could
but does not promote itself so as not to
further irritate the pay providers, I'm told.
Consequently, free, over-the-air TV's kind of
a secret, and that's too bad, because when
it goes, it's gone. We will all be either at the
mercy of one of two wireless providers, or in
left the dark.
I hope the new FCC chairman has the
gravitas to work for the public, and not
simply as an industry shill. There are
alternatives to the wholesale elimination
of broadcasting, and these should be

Hi (first post on the forum )
After having tried Windows Media Server, Tversity and Nero Media Home, psm is the first media server that works flawlessly with my ps3. Thanks a lot for that!
One thing none of the media servers handle nicely (except maybe tversity where I never even reached this stage) is the file system displayed when you're browsing the ps3. Displaying the actual windows file system as it's done in psm is my favourite for now, but there's margin for improvement.
That's how the structure could look on the ps3. - symbolize a collapsed folder or a file and + an expanded folder. The ones with multiple + or - are child folders.
- Movies
-- Action
++ Comedy
+++ Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
---- Description
---- English, None
---- English, English
++ Drama
--- Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
-- Recent french action without fantasy
- Family
- Friends
The movies are displayed according to tags and not their actual file path on the server. This makes it possible to group related content independently of its location and to group it as we like it to be. In this example the movie Little Miss Sunshine is tagged as being a movie (root node) and being of type Comedy and Drama. It has a name and a release year where we can generate the name to be displayed according to a mask.
When a movie is expanded it will show all available permutations of audio track <-> subtitle as children. The Description underneath a movie should open a web page displaying information about the movie (possible?). It would be nice if this folder containing movies had the icon taken from the movie file instead of the default folder icon (possible?).
How do we configure this?
Instead of the current Navigation/Parsing settings and Share Folders there would be a new Media Library tab where you could choose the display mode; File System or Custom. If custom is selected, you can build you're own file system in a tree view:
First, add one or multiple root folders. Each folder has properties that can be customized. For our example let's say we add the condition 'contains tag is Movie' to our Movies folder. Then we add the folder Action to Movies with the condition 'contains tag Action'; the property 'contains tag is Movie' will be inherited by the parent automatically.
A condition like 'year is greater then 2000 AND contains language is french AND contains tag is Action AND contains tag is not Fantasy' could be displayed as 'Recent french action without fantasy' and would show all movies satisfying these constraints.
Here are the conditions I see:
contains/does not contain tag that is/is not/starts with/does not start with/ends with/does not end with/contains/does not contain '...'
year is/is greater then/is less then/is in range/is not in range '...'
contains/does not contain language is/is not '...'
contains/does not contain subtitle is/is not '...'
name is/is not/starts with/does not start with/ends with/does not end with/contains/does not contain '...' (Useful to group e.g. all movies alphabetically in different folders A-Z)
display movies true/false (To avoid displaying the movies in the Movies root folder, but only in its children. This property is not inherited)
Server Job:
The server has to manage a list of files with attributes for this to work. Each movie can have following properties set: Name, Year, List of tags, List of languages, list of subtitles.
Presuming the file name contains the name of a movie, the correct name, year and list of tags can be retrieved through a web service (http://www.trynt.com/trynt-movie-imdb-api/ ?)
The list of tags and subtitles has to be read from the file (through mencoder?)
Besides automatic info retrieval it must be possible to edit it manually.
As I'd like to give it a try myself, I'm not sure the requests forum is the best place to post!? But on the other hand I've got no clue when/if I'm going to get this started. For now I've managed to put down the idea and could compile psm in eclipse (haven't touched java code in about two years...), that's it
