  • Le Devoir - Achat de matériel informatique - La STM exclut les logiciels libres d'un important appel d'offres
    «Ce type de pratique n'est pas conforme à la loi, n'est pas dans l'intérêt de la STM, ne respecte pas les valeurs d'équité et de liberté de la société québécoise, nuit à l'indépendance technologique du Québec et ne favorise pas un développement technologique durable», a indiqué en début de semaine l'Association par voie de communiqué. http://www.ledevoir.com/societe/actualites-en-societe/295380/achat-de-materiel-informatique-la-stm-exclut-les-logiciels-libres-d-un-important-appel-d-offres

    «On constate encore une fois l'attribution d'un marché à la multinationale Microsoft sans mise en concurrence, sans comparaison avec les solutions en logiciels libres, et ce, malgré un jugement sévère qui imposait l'ouverture des marchés publics aux solutions en logiciels libres.» - Daniel Pascot http://www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/justice-et-faits-divers/201008/31/01-4311490-appel-doffres-pour-des-logiciels-la-stm-fait-fi-dune-decision-de-la-cour.php

  • Successful Attack Against a Quantum Cryptography System
    Clever: Quantum cryptography is often touted as being perfectly secure. It is based on the principle that you cannot make measurements of a quantum system without disturbing it. So, in theory, it is impossible for an eavesdropper to intercept a quantum encryption key without disrupting it in a noticeable way, triggering alarm bells. Vadim Makarov at the Norwegian University of...
  • Cyber-Offence is the New Cyber-Defense
    This is beyond stupid: The Pentagon is contemplating an aggressive approach to defending its computer systems that includes preemptive actions such as knocking out parts of an adversary's computer network overseas—but it is still wrestling with how to pursue the strategy legally. The department is developing a range of weapons capabilities, including tools that would allow "attack and exploitation of...
  • Wanted: Skein Hardware Help
    As part of NIST's SHA-3 selection process, people have been implementing the candidate hash functions on a variety of hardware and software platforms. Our team has implemented Skein in Intel's 32 nm ASIC process, and got some impressive performance results (presentation and paper). Several other groups have implemented Skein in FPGA and ASIC, and have seen significantly poorer performance. We...
  • More Skein News
    Skein is my new hash function. Well, "my" is an overstatement; I'm one of the eight designers. It was submitted to NIST for their SHA-3 competition, and one of the 14 algorithms selected to advance to the second round. Here's the Skein paper; source code is here. The Skein website is here. Last week was the Second SHA-3 Candidate Conference....

  • Palantir: Better Know a Module: Menu Block (Part II)

    Everyone knows the top-tier Drupal modules, but with over 5,000 modules available for Drupal it’s no surprise that many useful ones go unnoticed. As a public service to the Drupal community, Palantir is working to raise awareness of some of these unsung heroes.

    In part 4 of our ongoing 5,162-part series, we present: Menu Block: Revisited

    In Menu Block (Part I), I talked about its basic options. In this part, I’ll be going into the crazy non-obvious options:


    The “options” toggle in menu_block for Drupal 7
  • Development Seed: Aegir 1.0 Release on Drupal 7 in Early 2011
    Plans for the Aegir 1.0 release and how we'll get there

    Last week at DrupalCon Copenhagen Antoine Beaupre and I shared our plans for the 1.0 release of the Aegir hosting system. After the 0.4 release that we are currently working on, the project will start working towards a final 1.0 build, rather than head towards 0.5.

    Our goal for Aegir has been to implement a hosting system with a stable documented API that provides a solid foundation for integration of other services. Once we hit the 0.4 release, we will have the infrastructure in place to support this. With our key goal met, we've begun determining our must have features for a 1.0 release.

  • Grayside.org: Node Form Dominos via Node Reference and Prepopulate

    I like Prepopulate. I like to have that pseudo-RESTful way of preloading a form to minimize the amount of work a user has to do to get to the point of submitting a form. But I also like clean URLs. This post reviews in detail a technique to use a single prepopulated nodereference field to prepopulate a bunch of other fields based on that reference. Since Prepopulate’s recent 2.0 release, it because a whole lot more difficult to use the Form API to work magic on what it provides.

    I use this in conjunction with nodereference to tailor node forms for their relationship with the referenced node.

  • Advantage Labs: New Pay alpha release available

    Yesterday afternoon we made a new Alpha release of Pay for Drupal available.  What is Pay you might ask? At its core Pay is a modular API for accepting, processing and tracking payments.  If you want to be able to accept payments on your Drupal site for simple transactions with out "Add to cart" or complicated checkout procedures then Pay is for you!  To learn more about Pay, take a look at our blog post last week and check out the project page.

    As part of the Pay API we provide a set of base classes which can be extended to provide payment forms or payment methods and gateways.  Out of the box we're currently shipping with support for Authorize.Net and PayFlowPro payment gateways. While at DrupalCon Copenhagen I began adding support for PayPal Website Payments Pro and Standard. While still under development some of this work is now available for testing in the latest alpha.

  • Quiz Prerequisite

    The Quiz Prerequisite module is a Quiz module add-on. It lets site administrators configure quizzes to have prerequisites. When enabled and configured, this module will check to see if a prerequisite quiz has been taken before allowing users take a quiz. Site administrators can configure which user roles need to meet the prerequisites.

    You must download and enable the Quiz module before you can use this module

    The foundation for this module came from the Drupal 5 module posted by @sunsetco from http://drupal.org/node/518104.

    This module is sponsored by http://bitsprout.net and http://altprod.com

  • HTML5 user geolocation

    This is a simple module to let users store their location on the edit account page. It uses HTML5’s geolocation API and stores latitude and longitude. How you use that data is up to other modules.

    It will be used on Drupal.org

  • Peek Summary

    This is a Views summary style plugin. It allows you to embed the results of a View with each argument in the argument summary. You may use a different display; for example, you might build an archive View with a Year+Month argument, that lists the four most popular nodes for each month in the summary, but that lists nodes in date order when you click through to the argument.

    Usage:

    Caveats:

    • You should limit the number of arguments displayed per page (in the argument summary). A View is executed for each argument that is rendered.
    • You should use Views' caching, at least for the display you use for peek_summary.
    • The peek_summary display must have the same arguments as the argument summary display--they may or may not be the same actual display.

  • Module Search Box

    It's hard sometimes to find certain module if you're using a bunch of modules. This module helps you to find the module faster.

  • Mozile

    This module is an in-line editor used to edit the body field of specific content types and blocks using Mozilla's Mozile editor.

    In essence, this editor should work on all browsers, but it's best used with Mozilla Firefox.

    Please consider donating to further the development of this module.
