A Multi-Seat Linux Box: This tutorial shows how to build a multi-head, multi-user Linux box using a recent distribution of Linux and standard USB keyboards and mice. Xorg calls this arrangement a "multi-seat" system.
compiled and edited by Herb Sutter "There is no C++ compiler or library today that implements the Standard perfectly, but some are getting close. Here, finally, is a first attempt to quantify just how close."
"In many programming circles, the mention of C++ merits a big yawn. It's not that the language is retired, since some 38 percent of software developers use C++ at least part of the time, according to Evans Data, Inc. But it's no longer perceived as cool."
not a full reference to the standard library. Some elements are listed using actual class or function declarations; other elements are listed using a shorthand to make things simpler and/or more concise.

a different approach to image optimization, based on how image data is stored in different formats. Let’s start with the JPEG format and a simple technique called the eight-pixel grid.
devoted to game / 3D graphics programming with DirectX / OpenGL using C++. Contains downloadable source code for several small and very specific sample programs that I think will be very helpful to anyone trying to learn both 2D and 3D game programming.
Anat Levin, Dani Lischinski, Yair Weiss - a computer-assisted process of adding color to a monochrome image or movie with a relatively modest amount of user input.
"When the lady at the corner market runs the package over the scanner (or whatever it is they do in your area), the computerized cash register reads the UPC code as a string of binary digits."
explores the apparent madness at the heart of US military intelligence. With first-hand access to the leading players in the story, Jon Ronson examines the extraordinary - and plain bizarre - national secrets at the core of George W Bush's war on terror.
