Quotes

“Another world is not only possible, she's on the way and, on a quiet day, if you listen very carefully you can hear her breathe.”

–Arundhati Roy, From a speech entitled Confronting Empire given at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil on 28 January 2003; Source: Wikiquote page on Arundhati Roy; License: Attribution–ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY–SA 3.0)

“Regardless of his bitter battles with the scientific community, [Viktor] Schauberger believed in the scientific method. He experimented on liquids and gases in a small laboratory he set up. His aim however, was to develop a science which actually worked [on principles opposite to the orthodox viewpoint]. “Humanity has committed a great crime by ignoring the use of cycloidal motion of water,” he said. For example, the current water–pumping devices were not only uneconomical, he said, “they cause water to degenerate by depriving it of its biological values.”

Attempts to explain connections between cycloidal motion and levitation to a scientist are useless, Schauberger said bitterly. Nor are world leaders any help “because they lean on the ignorance of the masses, including the scientists, as well as … current physical laws, to safeguard their vested interestes and positions.”

Conventional energy conversion––burning of fossil fuels or atom–splitting––turns order into chaos. Schauberger proposed processes which would add order and energy to substances such as water, instead of destroying it, while generating useful electric power.”

–“The Burial of Living Technology” by Jeane Manning, which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Page 199.

“The work was based on Schauberger's discovery of how to develop a low–pressure zone at the atomic level. This had happened in seconds when his laboratory device whirled air or water “radially and axially” at a falling temperature. He referred to the resulting force as diamagnetic levitation power. He emphasized that nature uses indirect—what Schauberger called reactionary—suction force.

He insisted that the technical team from the concentration camp be treated as free me would. After their research headquarters was bombed, they were transferred to Leonstein and started a flying disc project to be powered with his trout–inspired turbine which rotated air into a twisting type of oscillation resulting in a buildup of immense power causing levitation. A small model which crashed against the ceiling glowed blue–green at first as it rose, then trailed a silvery glow.

According to researcher Norbert Harthun, his devices were no more than laboratory models by the end of the War. However, the American military officers who showed up a few days after the model hit the ceiling seemed to know what he was doing. They seized everything. He was interrogated by a high–ranking officer, and put in “protective custody” for six months. The officers also heavily questioned his helpers. Russian members of the team later returned to the Soviet Union.

Alexandersson's book quotes a letter from Schauberger saying he was confined by the occupying forces for nearly a year because of his knowledge of atomic energy (even though his research was directed toward implosion—which was labelled fusion—rather than toward the destructive fission approach to the atom).”

–“The Burial of Living Technology” by Jeane Manning, which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Pages 200–201.

“Bitter about the effects of both the chemical industry and deforestation upon agriculture, he stated, “The farmers work hand–in–hand with our foresters. The blood of the earth continuously weakens, and the productivity of the soil decreases.”

When forests can no longer nurture water sources which supply vitality, then farmland downstream cannot build up a voltage in the ground which is necessary for keeping parasitic bacteria in balance, he observed. Noticing that soil dried out after being ploughed with iron ploughs, he built copper–plated ploughs. The ploughs successfully increased crops, but the greed of special–interest groups stopped the venture.”

–“The Burial of Living Technology” by Jeane Manning, which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Pages 201–202.

“The electrostatic charges ‘carried around’ are currents between atoms and the ether, which produce magnetism. The phenomena of ‘permanent magnetism’ or ‘cosmically induced’ magnetism are apparently due to electrostatic charges ‘carried around’ by cosmic molecular motion, in the universal ether field. Since no one can hold atoms, electrons or molecules perfectly still—because they are in fantastic motion—all atoms and molecules carry currents producing magnetic fields. Since a magnetic field is the product of a current, no one can produce a magnetic field without electricity, moving through or along a conductor, or as electrostatic charges in local or cosmic motion.”

–William Lyne. Occult Ether Physics: Tesla's “Ideal Flying Machine” and the Conspiracy to Conceal It. 3rd Revised Edition. Creatopia™: Lamy, New Mexico, 2010, Pages 12, 78.

Furthermore, Nikola Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity declares that the electromagnetic force production phenomenon is the most important in the Universe. “He stated that mechanical motions are universally a result of the electromagnetic force acting upon and through media. Tesla's idea was that gravity is the result of displacement of two polarized dielectrics, the aether from the outside and the mass from the inside of a planet. The gravity force comes from the outside as a push of the aether and not as a pull from the center of the mass.”

–Jovan Marjanovic. Basic Principles of Over Unity Electromagnetic Machines: A Scientific View into the World of Free Energy from Electric Charges and Magnetic Fields. First Edition. Veljko Milkovic Research & Development Center: Novi Sad, Serbia, 2011. ISBN# 978–86–88–88301–6. Page 67.

“The role of deficiency in causing disease is carried a step further by Dr. Max Gerson in his text for doctors, A Cancer Therapy—The Results of Fifty Cases. He exposes the depletion of farm soil from chemical fertilization as early as the 1930s and concludes that the depletion subsequentially affects nutritional levels in the plants growing in depleted soil.”

–“Does Medicine Have a Bad Attitude?” by James P. Carter, which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Pages 11.

“[Dr. Julius] Hensel was the first to put up a fight against the then–growing new chemical fertilizer industry—a struggle that was continued in the next century by Sir William Howard in England and J. I. Rodale in America. The use of chemical fertilizers, claimed Hensel, leads to the following evil consequences:

1. It poisons the soil, destroying beneficial soil bacteria, earthworms and humus*. [* Decayed vegetable or animal matter that provides nutrients for plants.]


2. It creates unhealthy, unbalanced, mineral–deficient plants, lacking resistance to disease and insect pests, thus leading to the spraying menace in an effort to preserve these defective specimens.


3. It leads to diseases among animals and men who feed on these abnormal plants and their products.


4. It leads to a tremendous expense to the farmer, because chemical fertilizers, being extremely soluble, are quickly washed from the soil by rainfall and needs constant replacement. (Powdered rocks, on the other hand, being less soluble, are not so easily washed from the soil, but keep releasing minerals to it for many years).”

–“Introduction to Bread From Stones” [PDF] by Dr. Raymond Bernard (A.B., M.N., Ph.D.), which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Pages 229–230.

“Practical experience with Hensel's Stone Meal and his non–animal method of soil regeneration, has proven the following:

1. That Stone Meal creates healthier, tastier, more vitaminized and mineralized foods.


2. That Stone Meal creates immunity to insect infestation, worms, fungi and plant diseases of all kinds.


3. That Stone Meal improves the keeping and shipping quality of foods, so that they keep a long time, in contrast to the rapid deterioration of foods given abundant animal manure.


4. That Stone Meal helps plants to resist drought and frost, enabling them to survive when those fed on manure and chemicals perish.


5. That Stone Meal produces larger crops which are more profitable because the farmer is saved the expense of buying chemical fertilizers which are rapidly leached from the soil by rainfall, whereas Stone Meal, being less soluble, is gradually released during the course of years and remain in the soil, being the most economical of fertilizers.


6. That foods raised with Stone Meal are better for human health and the prevention of disease than those grown with chemicals or animal manure.


7. That use of Stone Meal, in place of chemical or animal fertilizers, helps to end the spraying menace (by removing the cause) is proven by the fact that plants and trees grown with Stone Meal are immune to pests and so require no spraying.”

–“Introduction to Bread From Stones” [PDF] by Dr. Raymond Bernard (A.B., M.N., Ph.D.), which appeared in Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine by Jonathan Eisen. Garden City Park, New York: Avery Publishing Group, 1999. ISBN# 0–89529–809–0. Pages 231–232.

“Insect Attacks

These can occur for similar reasons to diseases—either imbalances, deficiencies or both. Phil Callahan, an entomologist working for the USDA, documented many cases where insects are attracted to plants that give off energy in the infrared under stress. He found that insect antennae picked up infrared emissions from plants and homed in on these plants from considerable distances. Pesticides can kill the insects, but they don't address why the insects show up.

Usually insects attack plants that are low in energy, lack complexity and are easy to eat. ”

Genetic Pollution/Gene Flow

• Sense & Nonsense in Horizontal Gene Transfer What do most scientists do when faced with findings that threaten to topple the ruling paradigm? They describe the findings in detail, fail to interpret them correctly, and avoid discussing their practical implications, dismissing incriminating evidence. They try desperately to paper over the cracks of the crumbling edifice and engage in rampant speculations. Dr. Mae–Wan Ho challenges these scientists to tell the truth, to themselves and to the public.

Agroforestry differs from traditional forestry and agriculture by its focus on the interactions among components rather than just on the individual components themselves.

Beyond Organic Agriculture to Authentic Organic Agriculture (and Beyond)

• The Institute for Mindful Agriculture (IMA) will help re–shape agricultural theory and practice to create a world where individuals are once again strongly connected to the source of their sustenance and where food is grown in active dialogue with nature and distributed in a socially just manner. To meet its responsibilities in the future, this new agriculture will require us to consciously develop mindful life practices. Only then will it be able to support the co–evolution of Planet Earth and her inhabitants. IMA will engage the visionaries, practitioners and educators of this emerging food culture and economy in research focused on accelerating the growth of this transformative paradigm. Together we will work to ensure that a truly regenerative form of agri–culture takes hold on a local and global scale.

When you buy our products you are receiving the highest quality products on the market and contributing to the local economy. We have been growing food without using chemicals since our first garden in 1972.

• Debian GNU/Hurd: The Hurd is a set of servers running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel. Together they build the base for the GNU operating system.
• GNU Hurd: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Free Software Foundation Latin America (FSFLA): GNU Linux–libre project: Linux, the kernel developed and distributed by Linus Torvalds et al, contains non–Free Software, i.e., software that does not respect your essential freedoms, and it induces you to install additional non–Free Software that it doesn't contain. GNU Linux–libre is a project to maintain and publish 100% Free distributions of Linux, suitable for use in Free System Distributions, removing software that is included without source code, with obfuscated or obscured source code, under non–Free Software licenses, that do not permit you to change the software so that it does what you wish, and that induces or requires you to install additional pieces of non–Free Software. Our releases can be easily adopted by 100% Free GNU/Linux distros, as well as by their users, by distros that want to enable their users to choose freedom, and by users of those that don't. Although UTUTO–e was the first GNU/Linux distro to remove non–Free portions of Linux, GNU Linux–libre follows and improves on the practices established by gNewSense and BLAG. Free Software Foundation Latin America (FSFLA) joined the (then non–GNU) Linux–libre project as part of its campaign dubbed “¡Sé Libre!”, to encourage and enable users to go beyond using some Free Software, and rather seek and choose freedom.
• Linux–libre: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• The GNU–Darwin Distribution is an amalgamation of the Darwin and GNU operating systems and a large collection of free software compatible with Darwin and Mac OS X. We are commited to Darwin as a free OS, Mac OS X compatibility, and helping users attain the benefits of software freedom. Founded in November 2000 by proclus, The ports system and package management system were adapted from FreeBSD in order to bring Unix software to Darwin / MacOSX on PowerPC and also on the Intel and AMD x86 architecture. In 2002, GNU–Darwin extended its services to full–featured mail accounts (with POP, IMAP and webmail support), Web Hosting and file sharing with an original web interface that provides users an easy way to manage their site and, since 2003, shell accounts on a Darwin x86 ssh server. GNU–Darwin has always been very strident regarding software freedom and dedicated to concrete progress in this direction while concurrently defending digital liberties in general.

• Free Open Source Software (FOSS): This is a public Wiki about Free Open Source Software (FOSS), sometimes also called Free/Libre Open Source Software, Free Software, or just Open Source. All FOSS licenses require that the software remain available to use, modify, and distribute at no cost. Most FOSS licenses also include kind of a lawyer's version of the Golden Rule, requiring that all software modifications, such as bug fixes and enhancements, must also be made available under the same license – with permission to use, modify, and distribute at no cost. This naturally creates living software, continually growing the value for all. These licenses are good at generating the trust that leads to large and sustainable communities. The great majority of FOSS is released under licenses including this give–back condition. FOSS is increasingly the go–to standard for operating systems to user applications, for individuals to large enterprises. It helps reduce costs, avoid lock–in, increase productivity, enhance security, and improve standards compliance. With the best long–term investment protection, FOSS is the lowest risk choice for software systems today.
• Free Libre Open Source Lebanese Movement: Free software is simply software that respects our freedom — our freedom to learn and understand the software we are using. Free software is designed to free the user from restrictions put in place by proprietary software, and so using free software lets you join a global community of people who are making the political and ethical assertion of our rights to learn and to share what we learn with others.

• Haiku is a new open–source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
• ReactOS® is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows® XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows–NT® architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture. The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows® would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows® and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change.

• The Tango Desktop Project exists to help create a consistent graphical user interface experience for free and Open Source software. While the look and feel of an application is determined by many individual components, some organization is necessary in order to unify the appearance and structure of individual icon sets used within those components. The Tango Desktop Project defines an icon style guideline to which artists and designers can adhere. A sample implementation of the style is available as an icon theme based upon a standardized icon naming specification. In addition, the project provides transitional utilities to assist in creating icon themes for existing desktop environments, such as GNOME and KDE.

• OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

• Whonix is an anonymous general purpose operating system based on Virtual Box, Debian GNU/Linux and Tor. By Whonix design, IP and DNS leaks are impossible. Not even malware with root rights can find out the user's real IP/location. This is because Whonix consists of two (virtual) machines. One machine solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix–Gateway. The other machine, which we call Whonix–Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible. This is only a very brief introduction. See Documentation and/or Technical Design for a more comprehensive description, security features and threat model. To find out how secure/anonymous Whonix is, see Security Overview.

• DPubS (Digital Publishing System) is an open–source software system designed to enable the organization, presentation, and delivery of scholarly journals, monographs, conference proceedings, and other common and evolving means of academic discourse. DPubS was conceived by Cornell University Library to aid colleges and universities in managing and disseminating the intellectual discoveries and writing of scholars and researchers. Since no two electronic publishers' needs are alike, DPubS was developed to be uniquely customizable. Its modular architecture provides flexibility—the system can be extensively customized to meet local needs. Because it has abundant Web–presentation capabilities, the presentation of each publication can be individually tailored, allowing for creative branding opportunities. Publishers can configure DPubS to deliver full–text content as well as to accept metadata in any file format. Publishers can also set the access controls to support subscription, open–access, or pay–per–view options and can configure DPubS to interoperate with institutional repositories such as Fedora. Finally, DPubS was designed to be extensible and scalable to support various publishing environments.
• Project Euclid's mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. Project Euclid is designed to address the unique needs of low–cost independent and society journals. Through a collaborative partnership arrangement, these publishers join forces and participate in an online presence with advanced functionality, without sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence or commitment to low subscription prices. Full–text searching, reference linking, interoperability through the Open Archives Initiative, and long–term retention of data are all important components of the project. The end result is a vibrant online information community for independent and society journals. This will assure that mathematics and statistics will continue to benefit from a healthy balance of commercial enterprises, scholarly societies, and independent publishers. Project Euclid was developed and deployed by the Cornell University Library and is jointly managed by Cornell and the Duke University Press. Start–up funding was provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

• FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo) just like you would an MP3 file. FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non–proprietary, is unencumbered by patents, has an open–source reference implementation, has a well documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations.
• Opus is a totally open, royalty–free, highly versatile audio codec.

• Open Content Mathematics Curriculum: This is an evolving description of books and software that could be used to design a totally open undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This is meant to be a selective list, so you can consider these to be personal recommendations, not just links I've found promising. As such there will be a limited number of entries in each category. The first criteria in selecting texts is that preference will be given to those that are truly free – as in free to copy, free to modify, free to distribute, free to sell. For example, a text that prohibits commercial use does not have full freedom. Licensing terms are summarized for each item. The second criteria is that I have to have some reason to believe the text is accurate and has a selection of content that is in line with typical university courses. First some comprehensive software, then lower–division (including introductory programming), concluding with upper–division (alphabetically by subject). Suggestions are encouraged, especially for empty categories or books you have used in a course, but inclusion is subject to the above discussion.

• DPubS (Digital Publishing System) is an open–source software system designed to enable the organization, presentation, and delivery of scholarly journals, monographs, conference proceedings, and other common and evolving means of academic discourse. DPubS was conceived by Cornell University Library to aid colleges and universities in managing and disseminating the intellectual discoveries and writing of scholars and researchers. Since no two electronic publishers’ needs are alike, DPubS was developed to be uniquely customizable. Its modular architecture provides flexibility—the system can be extensively customized to meet local needs. Because it has abundant Web–presentation capabilities, the presentation of each publication can be individually tailored, allowing for creative branding opportunities. Publishers can configure DPubS to deliver full–text content as well as to accept metadata in any file format. Publishers can also set the access controls to support subscription, open–access, or pay–per–view options and can configure DPubS to interoperate with institutional repositories such as Fedora. Finally, DPubS was designed to be extensible and scalable to support various publishing environments.

• Farm Hacking in French Posted by Shayne on Friday, January 4, 2013: Across the Atlantic, FarmHack shares a kindred outlook with a non–profit organization based in the Rhone–Alps region of southeastern France. ADAbio Autoconstruction is a farmer initiative formed in 2011 by the Association pour le Développement de l'Agriculture Biologique to showcase and share open–source technologies useful to local farmers. They organize training and instruction for building tools developed by farmers in the area. Much like the goals set forward by FarmHack, ADAbio Autoconstruction aims to establish a farmer–driven community that stresses the self–reliance of the individual farmer, as well as the creation of resiliency within the local agrarian network. The innovations within this community are adapted for organic market–farming, but the knowledge is not limited to the organic community. From this foundation, ADAbio strives to create accessible, bottom–up technologies with which farmers can equip themselves at a cost two to three times less than what market–standard supplies. The organization published a book, available for viewing online, which includes plans for 16 tools.

• Towards a Biospheric Ethic: Modern moral philosophers have tended to study ethics in a void, ignoring the insights of the natural and human sciences. Some eminent scholars have sought to put this right; but based their ethical principles on a grossly distorted view of nature and human society, resulting in a ‘technospheric’ ethic that seeks to equate progress and the moral good with economic expansion and the dominance of man over nature. A new ‘biospheric’ ethic is required to mediate sustainable human behaviour in relationship to society, the ecosystem, the biosphere and the cosmos itself.

• CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages. CVS is a production quality system in wide use around the world, including many free software projects.
• The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, including source code, programs, documentation, graphics, papers, and form letters. RCS was first developed by Walter F. Tichy at Purdue University in the early 1980s. RCS design is an improvement from its predecessor Source Code Control System (SCCS). The improvements include an easier user interface and improved storage of versions for faster retrieval. RCS improves performance by storing an entire copy of the most recent version and then stores reverse differences (called “deltas”). RCS uses GNU Diffutils to find the differences between versions.

• Bochs is a highly portable open source IA–32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86–64 Intel and AMD processors which may even not reached the market yet. Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows. Bochs was originally written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project. Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. The ‘typical’ use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC.
• QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.

• SHOGUN Machine Learning Toolbox's focus is on large scale kernel methods and especially on Support Vector Machines (SVM). It provides a generic SVM object interfacing to several different SVM implementations, among them the state of the art OCAS, Liblinear, LibSVM, SVMLight, SVMLin and GPDT. Each of the SVMs can be combined with a variety of kernels. The toolbox not only provides efficient implementations of the most common kernels, like the Linear, Polynomial, Gaussian and Sigmoid Kernel but also comes with a number of recent string kernels as e.g. the Locality Improved, Fischer, TOP, Spectrum, Weighted Degree Kernel (with shifts). For the latter the efficient LINADD optimizations are implemented. For linear SVMs the COFFIN framework allows for on–demand computing feature spaces on–the–fly, even allowing to mix sparse, dense and other data types. Furthermore, SHOGUN offers the freedom of working with custom pre–computed kernels. One of its key features is the combined kernel which can be constructed by a weighted linear combination of a number of sub–kernels, each of which not necessarily working on the same domain. An optimal sub–kernel weighting can be learned using Multiple Kernel Learning. Currently SVM one–class, 2–class and multiclass classification and regression problems can be dealt with. However SHOGUN also implements a number of linear methods like Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Linear Programming Machine (LPM), (Kernel) Perceptrons and features algorithms to train hidden markov models. The input feature–objects can be dense, sparse or strings and of type int/short/double/char and can be converted into different feature types. Chains of preprocessors (e.g. substracting the mean) can be attached to each feature object allowing for on–the–fly pre–processing. SHOGUN is implemented in C++ and interfaces to Matlab(tm), R, Octave and Python and is proudly released as Machine Learning Open Source Software.

• The jsMath package provides a method of including mathematics in HTML pages that works across multiple browsers under Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux and other flavors of unix. It overcomes a number of the shortcomings of the traditional method of using images to represent mathematics: jsMath uses native fonts, so they resize when you change the size of the text in your browser, they print at the full resolution of your printer, and you don't have to wait for dozens of images to be downloaded in order to see the mathematics in a web page. There are also advantages for web–page authors, as there is no need to preprocess your web pages to generate any images, and the mathematics is entered in TeX form, so it is easy to create and maintain your web pages. Although it works best with the TeX fonts installed, jsMath will fall back on a collection of image–based fonts (which can still be scaled or printed at high resolution) or unicode fonts when the TeX fonts are not available. There is a control panel connected to a small floating button that lets the user select which fallback method to use or change some other settings like a scaling factor to use for the mathematics compared to the other text on the page.

• The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface. The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational algebra research, etc. GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed. GMP is faster than any other bignum library. The advantage for GMP increases with the operand sizes for many operations, since GMP uses asymptotically faster algorithms.
• Project LinBox: Exact computational linear algebra. LinBox is a C++ template library for exact, high–performance linear algebra computation with dense, sparse, and structured matrices over the integers and over finite fields.
• The core of PolyBoRi is a C++ library, which provides high–level data types for Boolean polynomials and monomials, exponent vectors, as well as for the underlying polynomial rings and subsets of the powerset of the Boolean variables. As a unique approach, binary decision diagrams are used as internal storage type for polynomial structures. On top of this C++–library we provide a Python interface. This allows parsing of complex polynomial systems, as well as sophisticated and extendable strategies for Gröbner base computation. PolyBoRi features a powerful reference implementation for Gröbner basis computation.
• M4RI is a library for fast arithmetic with dense matrices over F₂. It was started by Gregory Bard, is maintained by Martin Albrecht. Several people contributed to it. The name M4RIcomes from the first implemented algorithm: The “Method of the Four Russians” inversion algorithm published by Gregory Bard. This algorithm in turn is named after the “Method of the Four Russians” multiplication algorithm which is probably better referred to as Kronrod's method. M4RI is used by the Sage mathematics software and the PolyBoRi library. M4RI is available under the General Public License Version 2 or later (GPLv2+). M4RIE is a library for fast arithmetic with dense matrices over F_2^e for 2 ≤ e ≤ 10. It was started and is currently maintained by Martin Albrecht. The name stems from the fact that is relies heavily on M4RI. M4RI is will be included in the Sage mathematics software in the near future. M4RIE is available under the General Public License Version 2 or later (GPLv2+).
• GiNaC is a C++ library. It is designed to allow the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together with more established areas of computer science (like computation–intense numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.) under one roof. It is distributed under the terms and conditions of the GNU general public license (GPL). GiNaC is an iterated and recursive acronym for GiNaC is Not a CAS, where CAS stands for Computer Algebra System.
• PyGiNaC is a Python package that provides an interface to the C++ library GiNaC, which is an open framework for symbolic computation within C++. PyGiNaC is implemented with the help of the Boost.Python library. At the moment, the package is more or less in an “alpha” state, i.e. the GiNaC classes are only partially exposed, parts of regression test suite are unconverted and no actual documentation exists. However, all of this is supposed to change in the future.
• Boost.Python is a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language.
• Giac/Xcas is a free computer algebra system for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux/Unix (license GPL3).

Freeing and Opening BIOS

• The Free Software Foundation's Campaign for Free BIOS
• Libreboot is a distribution of coreboot with proprietary blobs removed. Like coreboot, libreboot is boot firmware intended as a free (libre) ‘BIOS’ replacement for your computer. ‘Libre’ means ‘liberty’. Libreboot is not a reboot library!
• coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes what is called a payload. With this separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications run directly from firmware, operating systems in flash, and custom bootloaders to implementations of firmware standards like PCBIOS and EFI without having to carry features not necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
• The OpenBIOS project provides you with most free and open source Open Firmware implementations available. Here you find several implementations of IEEE 1275–1994 (Referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. Among its features, Open Firmware provides an instruction set independent device interface. This can be used to boot the operating system from expansion cards without native initialization code. It is Open Firmware's goal to work on all common platforms, like x86, AMD64, PowerPC, ARM, Sparc and Mips. With its flexible and modular design, Open Firmware targets servers, workstations and embedded systems, where a sane and unified firmware is a crucial design goal and reduces porting efforts noticably.

Freeing and Opening Bootloaders

• Das U–Boot –– the Universal Boot Loader
• el Gestor de Arranque Grafico – GAG (initials, in Spanish, of Graphical Boot Manager) is a Boot Manager program. It's loaded when the computer is turned on and allows you to choose the operating system you want to use.
• GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).
• GRUB4DOS is an universal boot loader based on GNU GRUB. It can boot off DOS/LINUX, or via Windows boot manager/syslinux/lilo, or from MBR/CD. It also has builtin BIOS disk emulation, ATAPI CDROM driver, etc.
• FreeLoader (Sometimes FreeLdr) is the ReactOS boot loader. It can also function as a boot manager for multiple operating systems. FreeLoader is composed of two files, an executable (freeldr.sys) and a configuration file in Windows INI format (freeldr.ini), and a boot sector to load the files. The two files are copied to the root directory (:\ or / depending on the path notation of the operating system) of the active partition.

• Free Model Foundry (FMF) advances the development and free distribution of open source VHDL and Verilog models of electronic components for system and IC design around the world. Our Open Source Model Warehouse promotes widespread sharing of functional and timing simulation models to help solve one of the biggest problems in chip and system design: finding accurate, usable component models. The availability of these models allows system designers to design and verify new digital electronic products more quickly and at lower cost than the previous methodology of build, test, debug, and build again. The result is faster time to market and more revenue for the systems house. It also means earlier component sales for the IC manufacturers. Models found on this site are written in a uniform style to make them easy to read. They are at the behavior level of abstraction so they will execute quickly and efficiently. Timing values are external to the models allowing them to represent multiple technologies and speed grades without being modified or recompiled. FMF specializes in models for board level design and verification, providing modeling development services to IC vendors, EDA consulting groups, and product design teams. In addition to providing simulation models of off–the–shelf components and behavioral IP, FMF is a source of consulting services to systems houses for CAE component library architecture and integration. As such we can improve the efficiency of your board design workflow.

• 3d Printing Hub: Open Source 3d Printing Software
• Fab@Home is a project dedicated to making and using fabbers – machines that can make almost anything, right on your desktop. Fabbers (a.k.a. 3D printers or rapid prototyping machines) are a relatively new form of manufacturing that builds 3D objects by carefully depositing materials drop by drop, layer by layer. With the right set of materials and a geometric blueprint, you can fabricate complex objects that would normally take special resources, tools and skills if produced using conventional manufacturing techniques. A fabber can allow you to explore new designs, email physical objects to other fabber owners, and most importantly – set your ideas free. Just as MP3s, iPods and the Internet have freed musical talent, we hope that blueprints and fabbers will democratize innovation.
• FABFabbers: Our aims are to allow you to share your models as cleanly, simply, and easily as possible, and for other folks to customise and view them right in the browser. As you can see, we're only just starting up, so we'd really love your feedback (positive or negative) and suggestions.

You can give it a GCode or STL file to process, and it takes it from there. It's cross platform, easily installed, and is based on the familiar Arduino / Processing environments. ReplicatorG is used by thousands of MakerBot Operators, and has printed tens of thousands of 3D objects and counting.
• RapCAD: Rapid prototyping CAD IDE for RepRap and RepStrap 3D printing machines
• OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD models. It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer–animated movies. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D–compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters. OpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. As data exchange format format for this 2D outlines Autocad DXF files are used. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.
• RepRap is humanity's first general–purpose self–replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self–replicates by making a kit of itself – a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that – if you've got a RepRap – you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend… RepRap is about making self–replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.

Designing and producing clothes digitally and wearing them can now happen in the very same place, rewarding the user with the ability to make decisions regarding creativity and responsibility.
• Knitic project, which began as a residency project at Marginalia+Lab in Belo Horizonte, as an open hardware, which controls a knitting machine via Arduino. We don't use a floppy emulation or knitting machine's keypad simulation. Instead, Knitic is the new ‘brain’ of a knitting machine that allows real–time control over the needles. It means, one can knit as long patterns as desired and modify the pattern on the fly. Knitic has been tested on Brother 930 and 940. 970 should be good for Knitic. Other electronic models might need extra work for figuring out the connections and types of encoders. Maybe as well with punch–card ones, this needs to be tested and developed though. How come? Because we do not use any Brother electronics but just sensors' output and solenoids' input from the knitting machine.

• The xBIM Toolkit: Written with “open–standards” in mind, xBIM (eXtensible Building Information Modelling) is a free, open–source, software development toolkit that allows developers to create bespoke BIM middleware for IFC–based applications. IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is an open, neutral data format developed by BuildingSmart UK (an alliance of organisations within the construction and facilities management industries dedicated to improving processes within the industry through defining the use and sharing of information). Developers can use xBIM to read, write, and update an IFC file in a few lines of codes. xBIM is a .NET toolkit, so developers can build everything from simple command–line applications, to extensions for Windows applications and Web services. An example of this would be: an “Add–In” for commercial BIM tools such as Autodesk Revit. xBIM is the result of Northumbria University's and the BIM Academy's on–going commitment to OpenBIM initiatives. It was instigated by Professor Steve Lockley and is supported by a team of BIM software specialists. We would like to encourage anyone who is interested to participate in the xBIM project – to join in, learn about xBIM, share it, contribute to the codes, or write programs (middleware) that uses the xBIM toolkit.
• The Building Information Model server (BIMserver) platform enables you to create your own BIMserver. The core is based on the open standard IFC and therefore knows how to handle IFC data. The BIMserver is not a fileserver; IFC data are interpreted by a smart core and stored in an underlying database. The BIMserver software is free and open source. It's ideal to support your dynamic collaboration process in the AEC sector.
• The Green Building XML (gbXML) open schema helps facilitate the transfer of building properties stored in 3D building information models (BIM) to engineering analysis tools. Today, gbXML has the industry support of leading 3D BIM vendors such as Autodesk, Bentley, and Graphisoft. In addition, with the development of integration modules inside major engineering analysis tools, gbXML has become the defacto industry standard schema. Its use dramatically streamlines the transfer of building information to and from engineering analysis tools, eliminating the need for time consuming plan take–offs. This removes a significant cost barrier to designing resource efficient buildings and specifying associated equipment.

• The ADG library (Automatic Drawing Generation) is a set of functions focused on automating the drawing of mechanical parts. It is not a CAD system but a library providing a non–interactive canvas where a custom application can put common CAD entities such as paths, hatches and dimensions, to automatically create technical drawings. When different parts share a similar shape, a custom application can be much more effective than the traditional way of manually drawing every part with a CAD. In some production factories, such as the automotive sector, this is quite common. Nozzles, elements, nuts, valves, needles and a lot of other parts fall into this category.

• U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Los Alamos National Security, LLC: PFLOTRAN: Modeling Multiscale–Multiphase–Multicomponent Subsurface Reactive Flows Using Advanced Computing: It is becoming increasingly clear that the ability to model multiscale subsurface processes is essential for obtaining an accurate predictive capability of contaminant transport. Predictive modeling of subsurface reactive flows is a daunting task because of the wide range of spatial scales involved – from the pore to the field scale – ranging over more than six orders of magnitude, and the wide range of time scales involved – from seconds or less to millions of years. With uniform grids, large 3D field scale continuum models employing billions of nodes can only resolve features on the order of meters and cannot capture phenomena at much smaller scales on the order of millimeters or less. This work is aimed at developing the next–generation massively parallel, multiphase, multicomponent reactive flow and transport code based on the successful prototype code PFLOTRAN. PFLOTRAN uses PETSc as the basis for its parallel framework. We are currently extending PFLOTRAN to include a generic multiphase algorithm based on variable switching to incorporate phase transitions for which the user need only add appropriate physical properties for particular phases of interest. Capabilities for both unstructured grids and adaptive mesh refinement on structured grids are being incorporated within PETSc's parallel framework and accessed by PFLOTRAN. Finally, multilevel solver and upscaling capabilities and subgrid scale models are being added to the code. These enhanced modeling capabilities will improve our understanding of radionuclide migration at the DOE Hanford facility. At Hanford, sub–millimeter–scale mass transfer effects have thwarted attempts at remediation efforts and modeling sequestration of CO₂ in deep geologic formations. In these cases, resolving density–driven fingering patterns is necessary to describe accurately the rate of dissipation of the CO₂ plume.
