eclipse :
Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, R. Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. It can also be used to develop packages for the software Mathematica. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT (Ada Development Toolkit) for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP.
The initial codebase originated from VisualAge.[1] In its default form it is meant for Java developers, consisting of the Java Development Tools (JDT). Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules.
Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse is free and open source software. It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without issues under IcedTea.

virtual keyboard : Click-N-Type virtual keyboard
Click-N-Type is an on-screen virtual keyboard designed for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard. As long as the physically challenged person can control a mouse, trackball, touch screen or other pointing device, this software keyboard allows you to send keystrokes to virtually any Windows application or DOS application that can run within a window. The Click-N-Type Virtual Keyboard is a 32 bit application that requires Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win-7 or later. There are other onscreen virtual keyboards around but you'll find Click-N-Type the easiest to use for getting text into problematic applications. Try them all. You'll see they all work fine while typing into Notepad or WordPad, but when you attempt to do some real work, with all but the expensive ones, you'll get really annoyed really fast. The Click-N-Type Soft Keyboard was designed with ease of use foremost in mind. Oh yes, it's FREE. If you need it, you can have it. I've seen too many people trying to make money off disabled people. Of course, if you'd like to drop Bridget a line at Click-N-Type@Lakefolks.com with any comments, I guess I couldn't stop you. If you do, we can keep you informed of any fixes and/or future enhancements.

ps3 media server : Playstation 3 Media Server Setup
My digital media was scattered among various drives, computers, and discs. I wanted seamless central control over all of it, so I decided to use my Sony PlayStation 3 as a media hub, with my 40-inch Samsung HDTV as a monitor. Now I can view or listen to all my photos, videos, and music via my TV screen, no matter where they are. Here’s a guide to building a digital media command center in your living room.
In the PS3′s main menu, navigate to Settings – Network Settings – Internet Connection, press X on your SixAxis controller and select Enabled. Then go to Internet Connection Settings (also under Network Settings), and select your network name (SSID). Enter the network password if you have one.
Internet Connection Settings Screenshot
If you have the original WiFi-less PS3 20GB, you can still connect it to your network by plugging the console into your router or extender (like an Apple Airport Express) via Ethernet cable.
Bonus Points: A Logitech diNovo mini Bluetooth keyboard comes in very handy for entering network passwords and any other text. There’s a complete guide to pairing and using it with a PS3 here.The pairing process is very similar to setting up a Bluetooth headset on a cell phone. You can check out our full Logitech diNovo mini review.
PS3 Media Server 1.23.0 is released (important notes!)
Hi and welcome to the all new and revamped ps3mediaserver.net, your one stop guide to setting up a PS3 Mediaserver.
We used to have lots of information regarding different server choices which you could make and we also took into consideration different operating systems. Unfortinatily the server managed to eat the site alive and spat out gibberish in return. Ah well, a good time to restart the site!
You have probably seen the option on your PS3 and wondered what it does, its quite simple really yet highly useful. The Media Server feature actually let you stream "media" for example Video and Music (pictures also!) from a computer within your home network.
This is ideal becuase the typical PS3 has quite a small harddrive and can not store much video for example. Another plus is you do not have to wait for the media in question to actually transfer to the PS3, It "streams" and plays as it loads in real time. No waiting!
A large range of video is supported including XVID, DIVX, X264, BRIP and in standard defintion and also (HD Ready) 720p (Full HD) 1080p. This means you can have a collection of video on your computer which could be located within another room in the house and enjoy watching it on your big 50inch HD tv.
ps3 media server
PS3 Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server.
Originally written to support the PlayStation 3, PS3 Media Server has been expanded to support a range of other media renderers, including smartphones, televisions, music players and more - all of which are listed on the right.
Because it is written in Java, PS3 Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration.
It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR and AviSynth, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

will norton : Twister sucks grad into storm through sunroof
One of the many missing people in Joplin, Mo. is Will Norton, who was driving home from his high school graduation when the tornado hit on Sunday.
Will was sucked through the sunroof of the car he was in with his father. His relatives know he was pulled through the car's roof and into the storm overhead. They haven't been able to find him since.
On "The Early Show," Will's sister, Sara Norton, and his aunt, Tracey Presslor, said they were in the car ahead of Will.
Sara said, "We left about five minutes before them. We barely made it in the garage. Trees started blowing in. My dad called, he was talking to him. He was telling my brother, 'Pull over, pull over.' I heard the tornado whipping them around. I had a feeling they were flipping around in the air. It was just really scary. We just didn't know what to do."
Her father has since regained consciousness and is in stable condition.
Sara says they've been able to speak with him about what exactly happened to Will.
Sara explained, "He said he had his arms around Will when they started flipping and Will's seat belt snapped and he flew through the sunroof."
The family snapped into action after the call ended.
Presslor said, "My husband and I took off with our oldest son to try to find them. We came down the road and there was the car. We searched all night with a rescue team out of Tulsa."
will norton : YouTube Star Will Norton Sucked Out of Sunroof in Joplin Tornado
The death toll from the tornado that ripped through Joplin, Missouri rose to 125 on Wednesday, as the search through the rubble only reveals more bodies, no survivors.
While each death is tragic, one particular story is resonating with people -- a teenager who was apparently killed on the way home from graduation.
Will Norton, 18, was driving home from his high school graduation on Sunday when his Hummer H3 started to flip over. His seatbelt snapped. His father tried to hold onto him, but he was sucked out of the sunroof, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Norton's body has not yet been found. His family is searching for him, but there appears to be little hope that he is alive.
His sister Sara was on the phone with their father as the tornado hit.
"We left about five minutes before them. We barely made it in the garage. Trees started blowing in," she told CBS News. "My dad called, he was talking to him. He was telling my brother, 'Pull over, pull over.'
"I heard the tornado whipping them around. I had a feeling they were flipping around in the air. It was just really scary. We just didn't know what to do."
The family rushed to the car. They had to cut the father out, but there was no sign of Norton, just his graduation cap and cell phone.
"He (the father) said he had his arms around Will when they started flipping and Will's seatbelt snapped and he flew through the sunroof," Sara said.
Norton was well known on YouTube. He had a channel called "Willdabeast" where he posted comedy diary-style videos. He had some 1.5 million views.
