As a Facebook Page owner, you can implement the Fan Box widget on your own website to gain more fans and share your Facebook updates. Implementing requires pasting just 4 lines of code.

The widget currently has 3 components: Button, Stream (optional), and Fans List(optional). The widget can fit in a space as small as 200 x 64 (just the button) or offer a richer experience including recent posts and other fans at a full 600 x 544 pixels (width adjustable from 200 – 600 pixels).

PlayStation 3s Used To Nab Pedophiles - G4tv.com

I just read an article about the government using PS3s to break encryption codes on pedophiles' computers. The PS3 is capable of process 4 million passwords a second. It's cost and power makes it a great workhorse for number crunching. They are using the older versions because the Slim models are not capable of putting Linux on them. I was sadden by this information because putting Linux on PS3 was one reason I wanted to get two PS3s - one to play with for games/movies and the other for Linux. Looks like one of them will have to be the older one.

CodeProject: Solving ordinary differential equations in C++. Free source code and programming help

When I was in college I was neck deep in differential equations. Differential Equations are over math and physics and chemistry. They are used to show how quantities evolve with respect to other quantities. For example position of a point mass with respect to time. I was happy to find an article about how to handle differential equations in C++. The article show how to numerically solve the following equations which give rise to the picture on the left!

d x1 / dt = sigma * ( x2 - x1 )
d x2 / dt = R * x1 - x2 - x1 * x3
d x3 / dt = x1 * x2 - b * x3

Where
sigma = 10
R = 28
b = 8 / 3

Tweetboard - oneforty

 I have found a tool that allows you to add a forum to your website that runs on tweets. This is very interesting! You have to sign up for a license to use it but it is free. Here is what the service's splash page has to say:

Tweetboard is a fun and engaging micro-forum type application for your website. It pulls your Twitter stream in near real-time (max 1 min delay), reformatting tweets into threaded conversations with unlimited nesting. Conversations that spun off the original conversation are also threaded in-line, giving your site visitors full perspective of what's being discussed.
Tweetboard is also a powerful viral tool that engages your website visitors. Each time someone posts (or replies) via your board, a link back to the corresponding conversation is appended to their tweet, creating a viral stream of Twitter traffic to your website.

 I'm waiting for my chance to try it.
