Free and open source linear algebra library more>> Free and open source linear algebra library
Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix and vector maths) aiming towards a good balance between efficiency and ease of use, while staying lean and being distributed under a license that is useful in both commercial and open-source contexts.
This library is useful if you decide to develop a C++ application, due to speed and/or integration capabilities.
Armadillo uses a delayed evaluation approach in order to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through extensive use of recursive templates.

- bugfix for solve() when using complex numbers
- bugfix for documentation of sort() and sort_index()
- modified installation to check for version of Boost libraries

- Format Conversion: calibre supports conversion from a dozen different ebook formats to LRF and EPUB. An graphical interface to the conversion software can be accessed by clicking the "Convert E-books" button. The commandline access is via the command any2lrf and any2epub. The conversion is very powerful and supports advanced typesetting features like tables, dropcaps, inline images, embedded fonts, etc.

At the moment, it has support for the SONY PRS 500/505/700, Cybook Gen 3, Amazon Kindle (1 and 2) and the iPhone (with the stanza reader software). Syncing supports updating metadata on the device from metadata in the library and the creation of collections on the device based on the tags defined in the library view.

MacTheRipper 2.6.6
MacTheRipper is a freeware DVD ripper (extractor) for Mac OS X more>>
This product is made to backup DVDs you have legally purchased for personal use. Any copyright infringing activity you choose to perpetrate using this application is illegal, wrong, and beyond our control.
That being said, MacTheRipper removes CSS encryption, Macrovision protection, sets the discs region code to 0 for region-free by default, and is capable of removing RCE region protection as well, making an unrestricted copy of any DVD movie you own.
It doesnt rely on the DVD drive to get the CSS decryption keys, so that means that you do not need to play the DVD with DVD Player in order to rip it to your hard drive unprotected.
MacTheRipper is also able to extract discs with the new ARccOS protection, as well as most DVDs that have been damaged or improperly mastered.
MTR is also capable of removing UOPs, or User Operation Prohibitions, which are the settings that prevent you from skipping or fast-forwarding certain parts of DVDs, such as FBI warnings, previews, logos, intros, etc.
Users have reported problems downloading MacTheRipper using Internet Explorer. If you are using IE, and cannot properly download MTR, please try using Safari, Camino, Omniweb, Firefox, or just about any other browser under the sun...
Enhancements:
- Improves prescanning to fix crashing problems on certain DVDs
- Faster prescanning by consolidating code into fewer passes to reduce seeking.
