Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.

The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.

A programming language which resurrects and improves upon SML/NJ to create the first production-ready mathematically-provable language.

Had incredible potential; I was highly interested in this and its abandonment was the final nail in the coffin for my desire to program.

  • Abandoned – The author Cynbe ru Taren (Jeffrey Prothero) died, the community evaporated, and a resulting foundation was later abandoned by his widow.

A command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. Get information, resize, move, etc.

A good tool for what it does.
