ObjectTools is an all-purpose tool which solves or simplifies many common
problems faced by 4D developers. ObjectTools eliminates the limitations of 4D BLOBs and adds many
new features not available with BLOBs. Using ObjectTools, 4D developers can:
Store and retrieve any 4D data type (except for 2D arrays) by name in any order, eliminating
the need to remember and use numeric offsets
Access elements of arrays in an object without retrieving the array from the object
Store and retrieve an entire record from any table with a single command
Embed objects within objects to create hierarchically structured data storage
Save and restore objects to and from BLOBs
Dramatically reduce process and interprocess variable usage
Easily package data for interprocess messaging
Develop in an object-oriented style
WHAT'S NEWVersion 2.5b3:
When using OT BLOBToObject, pointers to variables within an array are now converted to nil
pointers when running in a compiled database.

Le MIT estime que le monde a besoin d’un robot emo. C’est la raison pour laquelle ils
ont créé cette nouvelle génération de petit robot humanoïde
appelé Nexi. C’est un “robot
émotionnel» conçu par Cynthia Breazeal, roboticienne au MIT Media Lab. Il est
connu sous le nom de MDS Mobile-Dexterous-Social, ce qui signifie qu’il peut
déplacer sone corps, ses mains et son visage d’une façon qui suggère
les émotions humaines. Ses bras, poignets, et mains sont entièrement adaptables
pour saisir et soulever jusqu’à 5 kilos. Il possède des dispositifs variables
comprenant des yeux, des sourcils, des paupières, et le mouvement de bouche. Il se
déplace également sur une paire de roues en auto-équilibrage. Sources:

Last week I mentioned that adding &fmt=18 to a Youtube URL, or
&ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the embed code URLs allows you to view and embed
Youtube clips in nice looking 480x360 resolution, encoded with the H.264 codec. The result is a
much better playback experience than the standard 320x240 sorenson encoded clips, but a post
today on webmonkey gives us another tweak that can produce even better results for some videos.
By changing that fmt variable to &fmt=22 or tacking on
&ap=%2526fmt%3D22 to the embed URLs—that's right, turn it up twice
past 11—Youtube will kick out compatible videos at a whopping 720p resolution.
The only downside to embedding videos this way is that it really raises the bandwidth requirement
for viewers. On my home connection, it can take several seconds before the video begins playback,
and depending on how well my wireless is behaving, it's not uncommon that the download rate will
be slower thank playback, requiring quite a bit of pre-buffering. On the other hand, some videos
are just worth the wait.

Summary: Oscillations in mRNA and protein of circadian clock components can be
continuously monitored in vitro using synchronized cell lines. These rhythms can be
highly variable due to culture conditions and are non-stationary due to baseline trends, damping
and drift in period length. We present a technique for characterizing the modal frequencies of
oscillation using continuous wavelet decomposition to non-parametrically model changes in
amplitude and period while removing baseline effects and noise.
Availability: The method has been implemented as the package waveclock
for the free statistical software program R and is available for download from
http://cran.r-project.org/

width="807" height="414" style="display:block;float:none;" /Once upon time, video codecs and
formats were really only the concern of AV nerds, anime freaks and hardcore not-so-legal movie
downloaders. Now, even the most part-time of geeks has to deal with them, whether they're trying to
stream a flick across their house with an Apple TV, dump some video onto their phone or just trying
to grab last night's episode of Dexter because they, uh, forgot to renew their Showtime
subscription that'll work in their media player. It's messy and annoying, but we're here to clean
it up. Take a deep breath./p pYou might recall our discussion about a
href="http://gizmodo.com/5048025/giz-explains-why-hd-video-downloads-arent-very-high-def"video
bitrates earlier/a, or how much data is packed into a file. As a general rule, more bits per second
translates into more betterer quality audio and video. The variable in thatmdash;the other part of
the equationmdash;is how the content is compressed and de-compressed. Better compression
techniquesmdash;the zen of knowing what bits of data to pull out to make big data chunks
smallermdash;make for better quality video while taking up less space on your hard drive.
Basically, the part you need to know is that codecs are the software that make that magic happen./p
pstrongStandard Standards/strongbr bull; strongH.261/strong is not a term you have to worry about,
but it's the technology a href="http://www.javvin.com/protocolH261.html"that most video standards
and codecs/a were originally based on. Originating in 1990, it's the first major digital video
compression standard, and like other "H" standards, it was developed by the International
Telecommunication Union. This one was primarily for teleconferencing over ISDN lines, and as such,
it looks like ass./p pbull; strongMPEG-1 Part 2/strong is another oldie, developed by the a
href="http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/"Movie Picture Experts Group/a and approved in 1991. (All of
the MPEG codecs we talk about, btw, will have an associated layer, since the video section is only
part of the full standard, which includes audio and other stuff. MPEG-1 Layer 3, you probably know,
is MP3.) Based quite a bit on H.261, a
href="http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/mpeg_overview.html"MPEG-1 was designed to take
VHS quality video/a and squeeze it down to a bit rate of about 1.5Mbps, optimized for CD transfers.
No surprise, it's the standard used for all VCDs (which can play in most DVD players), but not a
standard you would see hanging around today./p pbull; With strongMPEG-2 Part 2/strong, approved in
1994, we're finally talking decent vid. Also known as H.262, since it was developed jointly by the
ITU-T and ISO, a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/papers/paper_14/paper_14.shtml"MPEG-2 is an
extension of MPEG-1/a that delivers better resolution and higher bit rates (3-15Mbps for standard
def and 15-30Mbps for HD). It's the video codec used by DVD and digital television, though now it's
slowly being replaced by the more efficient MPEG-4, except on DVDs, where it'll ride out that disc
format's lifetime./p pbull; bH.263/b is a
href="http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=197"designed for sending video over crappy
connections/a. So it's used to encode most Flash video and to send video over mobile networks./p
pbull; strongMPEG-4/strong is where we really stand right now. It has a much broader scope than
past MPEG standards, aiming to tackle both the low end (crappy cellphones on a crappy network) and
the high end (Blu-ray). It's still developing, so it's not-so-coincidentally a
href="http://www.m4if.org/mpeg4/"where this whole story gets messier/a. There are two relevant
parts of the MPEG-4 standard for our myopic video purposes: Part 2 and Part 10mdash;which is also
known as H.264 or Advanced Video Coding (AVC). To be clear though, even though they're both part of
the MPEG-4 standard, they're itotally different formats/i. Nevertheless, both are more efficient at
compression than past MPEG codecs, delivering better quality using less space./p pbull;Okay, so if
you've ever frequented a Torrent site, you've actually watched tons of videos that use strongMPEG-4
Part 2/strong, though it's not like they would've had a flashing sign telling you so. MPEG-4 Part 2
actually a
href="http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:2-AcZvq6F8YJ:www.mpegif.org/public/documents/vault/m4-out-30037.pdf+mpeg-4+profileshl=enct=clnkcd=4gl=usclient=firefox-a"has
different "profiles"/amdash;the two that matter being Simple Profile, for low bitrate, low-res
stuff, and Advanced Simple Profile. The latter profile is what's used by movies you would download
in formats like DivX or XviD or 3ivxmdash;which are all codecs that are essentially just differing
implementations of the MPEG-4 Part 2 standard./p pbull;strongMPEG-4 Part 10/strong, the other part,
was actually co-devopled by MPEG and the ITU-T, so it's also knownmdash;in fact, more commonly
knownmdash;as H.264. It's more efficient than MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 Part 2, delivering the same quality
video in as little as half the space, making it suitable for the low and high-end. Because of this,
it's quickly becoming a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC_Products_and_Implementations"the standardest
standard/a. It's part of the HD DVD and Blu-ray spec, replacing MPEG-2 in digital TV (like with
satellite services and ATT's U-Verse IPTV) and supported by pretty much every portable video player
on the planet from the iPod to the PSP. Apple has a decent, if Kool-Aid flavored, a
href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/faq.html"FAQ about H.264/a./p
pbull;strongVC-1/strong is essentially a a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/vc1techoverview.aspx"Microsoft
developed alternative video codec/a to H.264 released as a standard by the Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineers, though it descends from the same H.26X/MPEG family. (It
essentially started life as WMV9, but then a
href="http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=50500181"Microsoft shopped it to the
SMPTE/a to make it an industry standard, and now it is.) It too, is part of the mandatory Blu-ray
and HD DVD spec, and is the official video codec of the Xbox 360. It's pitch is the same as
H.264'smdash;trying to deliver better quality using less space, like HD video in 6-8Mbps./p
pstrongFree-Floating Codecs/strongbr Okay, so all that stuff up there are industry-wide standard
video codecs. On top of emall of those/em, various entities love putting out their own spin on
those standards. As we mentioned before, DivX (a href="http://www.divx.com/"proprietary/a) and a
href="http://www.xvid.org/"XviD/a (open source), for instance, use MPEG-4 Part 2 (more
specifically, MPEG-4 ASP) compression, meaning stuff that'll natively play back MPEG-4 ASP will
also play back DivX. a
href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/xbox-360-divx%5Cxvid-test/xbox-360-divxxvid-tested-it-plays-almost-everything-329769.php"Like
the Xbox 360/a, for instance. There are a ton of MPEG-4 ASP-based codecs, actually, like FFmpeg,
3ivx and others, but DivX and XviD are the most common. Same deal with H.264: Some well known
codecs that use it are Apple's Quicktime H.264, x264 and Nero Digital. You've also got Windows
Media Video (WMV) codecs, which are Microsoft's proprietary twists on industry standards./p
pstrongContainers aka Wrappers/strongbr Alright, well you've probably noticed that none of your
video files have the extension .h264 or .vc1 or the like. That's because videos are packaged in a
href="http://www.doom9.org/glossary.htm#Container"containers or wrappers/a that stuff things like
the audio, navigational info, etc. along with the video in a single pretty file. Naturally, there
are about as many of them as there are codecs. To be clear, you would take a video encoded with,
say, H.264, and wrap it up as a .MP4 file./p pThe majors ones are:br bull;AVI (Audio Video
Interleave) is a href="http://www.jmcgowan.com/avi.html#Definition"Windows' standard multimedia
container/abr bull;MPEG-4 Part 14 (known to you as .mp4) is the a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP4"standardized container for MPEG-4/abr ·:FLV (Flash
Video) is the a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flv/"format used to deliver video through Flash
Player/abr bull;MOV is Apple's QuickTime a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"container
format/abr bull;OGG is an a href="http://www.xiph.org/"open standard container/abr bull;MKV
(Mastroska) a href="http://www.matroska.org/"is another open specification container/a that you've
seen if you've ever downloaded animebr bull;VOB a
href="http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/vob.cfm"stands for DVD Video Object/a. Guess what?
It's DVD's standard container, and what you get when you rip a DVD.br bull;ASF is a a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/asfspec.aspx"Microsoft format designed/a
for WMV and WMA. (Files can end in .wmv or .asf)./p pSo, in order to play a video file, your setup
has to be able to handle both the actual video codec, and the container. It's why you can try to
play an AVI file and Windows Media Player laughs at you, even though it totally played one a minute
agomdash; the container was no problem, it didn't have the right codec. Or conversely, even though
an iPod could play back an H.264 encoded video, if it was wrapped up in MKV, it couldn't read it./p
pOkay, my brain hurts. Hopefully this will make yours hurt less when it comes to dealing with pesky
videos. If you'd like to do even more homework, Wikipedia, as always, has a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codecs"a more in-depth discussion/a. And Doom9 a
href="http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/codecs-final-105-1.htm"is always an amazing resource/a for
all things digital video./p pemSomething you still wanna know? Send any questions about codecs,

Ce plug-in graphique pour les émulateurs nintendo 64 a été mis à jour.
Cependant, il s'agit surtout d'une version intermédiaire pour permettre la
portabilité de ce plug-in. Voivi les release notes explicatives:
I have prepared an updated for ‘Napalm’ version. My current goal is to
make Glide64 sources portable. This is large and long task. Besides, Windows users will have no
benefits from it. Thus, I decided to release this intermediate version. This is
‘Napalm’ + widescreen resolutions support + texture dumping. Due to lack
of time no emulation related issues were fixed. Thus, if you don’t have wide monitor or
don’t need texture dumping, you may use previous release.
I'm getting ready to purchase a new 15" MacBook Pro and I'm planning on using Bootcamp to install
Windows XP. It seems to me that the best way to possibly answer the question of which OS WoW runs
better in would be to do it on the exact same hardware via dual-booting (as opposed to two
different computers with "identical" hardware, which can still leave a lot of unexplained
variables). So, for those of you WoW players out there dual-booting on your MacBook's, have you
tried WoW in both OS's, and if so which runs better?
Thanks for your help, I'll be getting the MacBook Pro either way, I just want to know if it would
be better to install WoW in XP or OS X. :D
