Lisp FAQ: "Do you know a good, free Lisp implementation?
There are several. The Common Lisp implementation I use is Clisp, but CMUCL is also well-regarded. For Scheme hacking I use Scheme 48 and PLT Scheme."
Lisp FAQ: "What is Lisp?
Lisp is a family of programming languages descended from a language John McCarthy invented (or more accurately, discovered) in the late 1950s. The two main dialects now are Common Lisp and Scheme. We're working on a new dialect called Arc."

Menu Test page: "Cyberkinetics (Foxborough, MA) is a leader in the rapidly emerging field of brain computer interfaces. Cyberkinetics' technology allows for the creation of direct, reliable and bi-directional interfaces between the brain, nervous system and a computer. The development of safe, robust implants for recording from, and or stimulating, the brain surface will open the potential to study other complex signals from the brain. Cyberkinetics technology platform, called BrainGate(TM), may allow breakthrough applications which leverage the translation of thought into direct computer control. Such applications may include novel communications interfaces for motor impaired patients, as well as the monitoring and treatment of certain diseases which manifest themselves in patterns of brain activity, such as epilepsy and depression."

The Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide: "The Linux Kernel
Go read The Linux Kernel if you want an introduction to the Linux kernel that is better than the KHG. It is a great complement to Linux Device Drivers. Read it. "
The Linux Kernel: "This book is for Linux enthusiasts who want to know how the Linux kernel works. It is not an internals manual. Rather it describes the principles and mechanisms that Linux uses; how and why the Linux kernel works the way that it does.
Linux is a moving target; this book is based upon the current, stable, 2.0.33 sources as those are what most individuals and companies are now using. "

Rahmenlayout Schüler STM Homepage: "The emerging Nanotechnology is expected to change our world to a comparable extent as Microtechnology has (introducing integrated circuits, microsurgery and spacecrafts).
To give everybody an opportunity to make his own 'hands on' experience with the Nanoworld we provide all information to build up and use some of the standard equipment of this fascinating field of science, starting with the Nobel-Prize-Winner of 1986: the Scanning-Tunneling-Microscope (STM).
The Scanning-Tunneling-Microscope
Scanning tunneling microscopy, developed by Binnig and Rohrer in the early eighties, allows the investigation of molecular and also atomic structures. It is the only technique with such a high resolution, that even works in air and in liquid.
The STM consists of a very fine, electrically conducting tip, which is guided over a sample surface at an extremely small distance. Owing to an applied voltage a current flows between tip and sample, where the variation of the current reveals information about the electronic structure of the surface and can also render a height relief. A computer is used to collect single scan points and calculates a detailed map of the sample surface.
Today tunneling microscopy is a standard technique in nanoscience, which is not only used to investigate samples at the atomic scale, but can be employed to"

An Introduction to openMosix Clusters: "An Introduction to openMosix Clusters
Here is the answer to many a request for an overview plus clear step by step instructions for acquiring, installing, and running openMosix.
The three article series by Daniel Robbins will give you a grasp of what openMosix does, how it works, how to install and test it, and then how to use it for a real application. Use the articles for an A to Z overview.
However, when you install our current releases, you must use their corresponding readme files for updated instructions. Be sure to see the readme of both openMosix_kernel and openMosix_user releases for changes to the installation details."
Banished Words List :: 2004: "2004 List of Banished Words
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - Hardly looking 'metrosexual,' a 'shocked and awed' Lake Superior State University Word Banishment selection committee emerged from its spider hole with its annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.
LSSU has been compiling the list since 1976, choosing from nominations sent from around the world. This year, words and phrases were pulled from more than 5,000 nominations - a record. Most were sent through the school's website: www.lssu.edu/banished.
Word-watchers pull nominations throughout the year from everyday speech, as well as from the news, fields of education, technology, advertising, politics, and more. A committee gathers the entries and chooses the best in December. The list is released on New Year's Day. "
