The project started in 2003 from the source code of the Netscape browser which had been released when Netscape went bust. In April 2009, Firefox recorded 29% use worldwide (34% in Europe). Firefox is standards compliant and has a system of add-ons which allow innovative new features to be added by the community. OpenOffice.org is an office suite similar to Microsoft Office. It started life as Star Office. Sun Microsystems realised it was cheaper to buy out Star Office than to pay Microsoft for licence fees for MS Office. Sun then released the source code for Star Office under the name OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is mostly compatible with MS Office file formats, which allows users to open .docs and .xls files in Open Office. Microsoft is working on a plug-in for MS Office that allows it to open .odf files. ODF (Open Document Format) is Open Office's default file format. Once this plug-in is complete there will 100% compatiblity between the two office suites. VLC is the VideoLAN Client. It was originally designed to allow you to watch video over the network.

Programming with Haiku
Programming with Haiku Lesson 5 Written by DarkWyrm All material © 2010 DarkWyrm Let's take some time to put together all of the different bits of code that we've been learning about. Since the first lesson, we have examined the following topics: • Templates • Namespaces • Iterators • The C++ string class • The STL Associative containers: map, set, multimap, and multiset • The STL Sequential containers: vector, deque, and list • The STL Container Adapters: queue and priority_queue • C++ input and output streams, a.k.a cout and friends • Exceptions There is enough material here that a book could be written to get a good, strong understanding of effective use of the Standard Template Library and the Standard C++ Library. Expert use is not our goal for this context, but having a good working knowledge of these topics will help make our code better when writing applications for Haiku. Project: Reading Paladin Projects For those unfamiliar, Paladin is one of the Integrated Development Environments available for Haiku. It was designed to have an interface similar to BeIDE, which was the main IDE for BeOS back in the day. One feature that sets it apart from other IDEs for Haiku is that its unique project file format is a text file with a specific format. This makes it possible to easily migrate to and away from it. The format itself is relatively simple. Each file is a list of key/value entry pairs with one entry per line. This makes it possible to read and interpret the project file progressively. It also increases forward compatibility because new keys can be ignored by older versions of the program.

Quarantine Poetry
Quarantine Poetry A Gift of Joy and Laughter From Mead School’s Poetry Workshop To You March - June 2020 Syllabic Poems Syllabic poems are poems measured by the number of syllables. Haikus are syllabic poems, for instance. HAIKU - Haiku poems are early Japanese poetry that originated with the introduction of writing in Chinese characters, most likely in the fifth century, A.D. In the Japanese tradition, the poems were often sung and had a pattern of dance gestures. Topics common to haiku poetry include: nature, ceremonies, friends and acquaintances, beauty, love, and death. A haiku poem consists of 17 syllables written in three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. Variations include the: SENRYU - same as haiku but the topics are about politics, social satire, or irony. TANKA - 31 syllables in a five line pattern of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. CINQUAIN - 22 syllables in a five line pattern of 2-4-6-8-2 syllables. Jade Moore Senryu: What now? Fire alarm rings In case of fire. But what If it is on fire? Haiku: I love spring I stand with the flowers Then my allergies greet us I really hate spring. Austin Shapiro A little birdy Feed me! Starts flying around the house Just give me food! Cat sees little bird I’ve been nothing but good Kitty jumps into the sky Hey human up there, I’m talking! Birdy goes bye bye, munch munch Meow meow! Smack, smack, smack, pillow!

Processes Process Structure
Processes Process structure The process structure contains: • Processes execute in user mode (application code) or kernel mode (operating system code). • Process identification (PID) • The user mode state consists of the processor registers • signal state and of the content of the memory segments. • timers: real-time and CPU-utilization counters • The kernel mode state consists of the processor registers • Pointers to the substructures and the information the kernel stores about the process. • The kernel state for each process is divided into several different data structures (fig. 4.1). • The top level data structures are the process structure and the user structure. • In old Unix systems the user structure contained data that was not needed when the process was swapped out. • In FreeBSD the user structure is used for only a couple of structures referenced from the process structure. • A new thread structure has been introduced in FreeBSD to keep information about a single thread. 1 2 Process structure, cont. Thread structure The thread structure contains the following categories of information: The process substructures (fig. 4.1) have the following categories of information: • Scheduling: for example thread priority • Thread state: (runnable, sleeping), and wait channel if • Process-group identification sleeping. • User credentials (UID, GID) • Machine state: the machine dependent thread information • Memory management • TCB (Thread Control Block): the user and kernel mode • File descriptors execution states including MMU registers • Resource accounting • Kernel stack: the per-thread execution stack for the kernel • Statistics • Signal actions • Thread structure Processes can be in any of the following states: NEW, NORMAL, or ZOMBIE. A process in NORMAL state can be RUNNABLE, SLEEPING or STOPPED.
