SABnzbd User Manual
by m.meixide
SABnzbd is a multi-platform binary newsgroup downloader.
The program works in the background and simplifies the downloading verifying and extracting of files from Usenet.
SABnzbd uses NZB files (similar to .torrent files, but for Usenet), instead of browsing Usenet directly. NZBs can be acquired from a variety of usenet indexing services.
SABnzbd's main interface is web-based, this means with a little bit of configuration you can easily check and add files from other PC's around the world or on other devices such as the iPhone.

The life of a Games Programmer: Collision detection...
by sylvainulg (via)
Lemmings never did full sprite to background collision checking, in fact all it did was test a pixel at the feet of a lemming, into the mask. And you could do that directly in GML if you wanted to! In fact, Lemmings had a "1600x160" play area, and you could easily convert this to a 200x160 "BIT" per-pixel mask.

New York City-based photographer Jamie Beck, in collaboration with Kevin Burg, a web designer with a background in video and motion graphics, has elevated the art of animated GIFs. In a post yesterday, we showcased some of Beck's collaborations with supermodel Coco Rocha. After the post was published, Beck sent us a detailed message explaining her work process, which we've reproduced in part below.

UNL | News Release | UNL scholar discovers thousands of new Walt Whitman papers
The discovery "will revolutionize our understanding of Whitman during the explosive Reconstruction years, since we will be able to track, on a virtually daily basis, just what social and political issues he was thinking about and working on," Folsom said. "These newly discovered documents will allow biographers, critics, teachers and students to add a rich texture and deep background to our understanding of Whitman's post-war work."
Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow Quadrant
by personmark
The background for this blog post is that we in a network I’m a member of, discussed career paths. As the other people around the table were all employees and they therefore discussed how career paths looked from this side of the table, I thought I could be a little fun to present them to my career path forecast as an entrepreneur.
Hopefully this will also give you a few insights.
