Space Shoot 1.0
Brings the space battle right on your dashboard. more>>
Fully-featured mac mass mailer for Apple Macintosh computer supporting message templates and recipient database. It offers everything you need to create and maintain mailing lists for different needs and send mass messages directly form your Mac at a very high speed. It uses Apple Mails message delivery framework to deliver your messages. This means that 100 percent of your email messages will get delivered properly to recipient mailboxes as if they were delivered by Apple Mail in a regular way. The recipient database is fully customizable. You can add as many recipient fields as you want and use them in message templates for the purpose of personalizing your messages. Each recipient will receive individualized message as if it were separately sent with Apple Mail personally for him in a regular way. Message creation mechanism is the same as in Apple Mail. Each message may contain colourful text in different fonts, pictures and attachments. You can even copy a HTML document to the clipboard and then paste it to the message editor of Mac Mass Mailer if you already have one ready to be sent. Mac Mass Mailer also lets you suspend your current sending and resume it later at any time. This mechanism works on a per-document basis. Every mailing project can be suspended and resumed independently. Sending statistics is greatly visualized. You do not have to deal with log files you do not understand. It is simple as one, two and three; in your mailing groups, the successful recipients become green, the bad recipients become red and the unprocessed ones stay black as they were before you hit the Start Sending button. Import and Export feature in the program is so powerful that you can import email addresses and other recipient data from virtually any files. The program can even travel through your hard drive and extract all email addresses from all your files and directories. The user interface of the program is professionally designed according to the Mac OS X guidelines.

EMGM 0.3.1
Haskell library that implements Extensible and Modular Generics for the Masses more>> Haskell library that implements Extensible and Modular Generics for the Masses
EMGM is a free and open source general-purpose Haskell library for generic programming with type classes.
The design is based on the idea of modeling algebraic datatypes as sum-of-product structures. Many datatypes can be modeled this way, and because they all share a common structure, we can write generic functions that work on this structure.
The library provides three main components:
- Common - A common foundation for building generic functions and adding support for datatypes. This includes the collection of datatypes (e.g. sum, product, unit) and type classes (e.g. Generic, Rep), that are used throughout the library. This is what you need to define your own generic functions, to add generic support for your datatype, or to define ad-hoc cases.
- Data - Support for using standard datatypes generically. Types such as [a], tuples, and Maybe are built into Haskell or come included in the standard libraries. EMGM provides full support for generic functions on these datatypes. The modules in this component are also useful as guides when adding generic support for your own datatypes.
- Functions - A collection of useful generic functions. These work with a variety of datatypes and provide a wide range of operations. For example, there is crush, a generalization of the fold functions. It is one of the most useful functions, because it allows you to flexibly extract the elements of a polymorphic container.
Main features:
- Datatype-generic programming using sum-of-product views
- Large collection of ready-to-use generic functions
- Included support for standard datatypes: lists, Maybe, tuples
- Easy to add support for new datatypes
- Type classes make writing new functions straightforward in a structurally inductive style
- Generic functions are extensible with ad-hoc cases for arbitrary datatypes
- Good performance of generic functions
System requirements:
- GHC

BinkMachOPlayer 1.8b
BinkMachOPlayer - Play Bink files more>>
Bink is a hybrid block-transform and wavelet codec that can encode your video using 16 different compression techniques (wavelet, DCT, motion compensation, a variety of vector quantizers, Smacker-style, etc). With all of these techniques in one codec, Bink can handle any type of video.
Bink also has a VBR psycho-acoustic based audio codec that is capable of 8:1 up to 20:1 perceptually lossless compression, so your audio will sound as good as your video looks. Other video codecs force you to license a separate audio encoder, but Bink has one built right in!
Another nice feature of Bink is that its technology was completely independently developed. We are not based on any MPEG or other committee standards (our techniques are quite different, in fact) of any kind, so the IP is safe, encumbrance-free, and (best of all) entirely royalty free. Thats why we develop our own codecs (both video and audio) - we dont want to be hindered by any third parties who see games as a side market rather than the target market. RAD has been developing video codecs for games since 1992 - our software codecs were being used before MPEG could even be played on a PC without a hardware decoder card.
The other big reason that we develop our own codec technology is because general video codecs are just not designed for games. They are designed to play movies in a nice little media player sandbox on a PC with little else going on. They use a ton of memory (Bink uses up to 16 MB less than other codecs), and they use almost all of the CPU. Bink is designed just for games - we arent trying to be a media player for the masses, or get integrated into some set top box, or stream video off the internet. Our only goal is great looking, easy to use, high performance video for your games.
The Bink SDK supports the Nintendo DS, the Xbox 360 and the Xbox consoles (using pixel shaders!), the Sony PlayStation 2 console, all versions of 32-bit Windows, the Xbox console, the Nintendo GameCube console, MacOS, MacOS X and GNU/Linux. It supports pixel shaders, DirectDraw, DIBSections, DirectSound, waveOut, Sound Manager, NGC AX, NGC MusyX, SDL_mixer, and the Miles Sound System.
Bink uses the YUV colorspace, so it can use overlays for hardware color conversion and smooth scaling on Win32 and Nintendo GameCube. On platforms with pixel shader support (DirectX 9, Xbox, and Xbox 360), Bink can use the GPU to do incredibly fast and incredibly high quality YUV to RGB conversions. Bink also includes a ton of hand-optimized assembly YUV to RGB colorspace blitters, so youll be able to access Binks output in any RGB format you like (32-bit RGB, 24-bit RGB, 16-bit RGB, etc).
As far as data rate goes, Bink really doesnt have a minimum - 256x192 animations look great at 50 kps for Nintendo DS and 1280x720s look awesome at 900 kps on Xbox and Xbox 360 for HD video. Bink is so fast, that it works great for the low-end, like the DS, and for the high-end, like the Xbox 360.
For such a high-end codec, Bink requires very little hardware resources - it will run on a machine as slow as a Nintendo DS (67 Mhz!), and will be screamingly fast on a modern P3, P4 or Athlon. Any Macintosh shipped in the last 10 years will run Bink great. All of the modern consoles can handle Bink easily (even the slow-ish PS/2 for which weve done massive assembly optimization to get Bink running wonderfully).
Because Bink is pretty different from other codecs, weve put together information describing the advantages of using Bink. You can even view the entire Bink development history to see the complete evolution of Bink. Finally, you can check out what other Bink customers think.
Think Bink!
Enhancements:
- Added support for the beta Xbox 360 hardware (June XDK).
- Fixed 8-bit audio playback on Nintendo DS - we still recommend using 16-bit audio, though.

The Outlaw Widget
For some unknown reason, this widget is too hot to handle at some other download sites. One of them flat-out refuses to list it on their site. Another one listed it for about two hours and then took it down. Thats okay, no problem there. Showing actually undoctored quotes from the president, well thats getting too hot to handle. What a bunch of wusses!
