Fundamental Skills of Heel-and-Toe - YouTube
This is a more complete and revised version of a shorter demonstration video I made on the heel-and-toe technique back in May.

This demonstration video summarizes and demonstates the fundamental skills involved and how the combined skills are used to master the heel-and-toe technique. The exercise numbers (#1-11) reference the written version of the 20-exercise guide by Garage Woolery. The remaining 9 exercises are advanced versions of the first 11.

Simtec Electronics Entropy Key: USB True Random Number Generator
A small, cheap, and easy device that provides your computers and servers with extra performance, security, and reliability.

The Entropy Key is a small, unobtrusive and easily installed USB stick that generates high-quality random numbers, or entropy, which can improve the performance, security and reliability of servers. It can also be used with scientific, gambling and lottery applications, or anywhere where good random numbers are needed. Devices such as the Entropy Key are sometimes called True Random Number Generators. It has been developed by UK-based Simtec Electronics, a design consultancy and manufacturing partner with 20 years of experience in designing and building high-speed, high-performance electronics with a speciality in embedded ARM-based designs.

The Entropy Key contains two high-quality noise generators, and an ARM Cortex CPU that actively measures, checks and confirms all generated random numbers, before encrypting them and sending them to the server. It also actively detects attempts to corrupt or sway the device. It aims towards FIPS-140-2 Level 3 compliance with some elements of Level 4, including tamper-evidence, tamper-proofing, role-based authentication, and environmental attacks. If it detects that one of its two generators has failed, may be about to fail, or if it detects a physical attack, it will automatically shut down.

– msramdmp - Creating bootable USB drives for capturing the contents of memory » McGrewSecurity
A short while back, a paper was published by researchers at Princeton University, in which they talk about the process of recovering encryption keys out of memory after a cold boot. This was surprising to many people, as most just assume that, since RAM is volatile storage, it is erased when power is removed. This is an incorrect assumption.

Prey - Open source anti-theft solution for your laptop, phone and tablet
Prey lets you keep track of your laptop, phone and tablet whenever stolen or missing -- easily and all in one place. It's lightweight, open source software that gives you full and remote control, 24/7.

Basically you install a tiny agent in your PC or phone, which silently waits for a remote signal to wake up and work its magic.

This signal is sent either from the Internet or through an SMS message, and allows you to gather information regarding the device's location, hardware and network status, and optionally trigger specific actions on it

Blade Angle - some help for newbies
I took some photos to help out someone on another (non shaving) forum, and thought that they might help out someone here too:

The photos aren't the best, as I didn't have a tripod handy, but they should give you an idea of the amount of blade angle difference that can be achieved with a Merkur 34c/HD.

The Architecture of Open Source Applications
Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well—usually programs they wrote themselves—and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes.

Our goal is to change that. In these two books, the authors of four dozen open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to these books provide unique insights into how they think.

If you are a junior developer, and want to learn how your more experienced colleagues think, these books are the place to start. If you are an intermediate or senior developer, and want to see how your peers have solved hard design problems, these books can help you too.

Click to Loot - Diablo III Powergaming: Diablo III Combat Mechanics Compendium
The purpose of this article is to provide knowledge for powergamers, from powergamers, and to convert casual players into even more powergamers. We like having all relevant information easily available in one place without the need to hack'n'slash through the entire Internet to find it.

While most skill to play a game even as complex as Diablo III can be acquired simply by playing the game, some aspects of it are nearly impossible for a human to comprehend perfectly just by playing. Powergaming is an applied science of theorycrafting, and like any applied science, one must master the theory behind it in order to excel in practice.

The most reliable source we're using when creating this article is testing in the game itself (we both have access to Diablo III beta). Whenever we write about something we can't properly test, we're using as many different sources as is needed to become convinced of its factuality. Once we've convinced ourselves, we can feel comfortable with sharing the knowledge with every other Diablo III fanatic out there.

And because Fanshares cost just one hundredth of the price of shares in Arsenal Holdings Plc (currently around £140 each as opposed to around £14,000), they make owning a share of the club a realistic goal for far more fans.
