I once created a tool for that, because I not only wanted to have user-remappable controls in any game, but also create key scripts, as I used to back in the Quake days. The tool is called Key Scripter, you can look it up on SourceForge.

I once saw a documentary about similar technology. I think it utilized steam as the core material.

No, you got this backwards. Such software is to prevent the screensaver from running, not to depend on it to lock the computer. While it does lock the computer too, you are not supposed to rely on it and should instead make it a habit to use the standard ctrl+alt+l or win+l shortcuts.

Unlimited calling is already possible on Android phones. As I already mentioned in another thread, there is now a free application called Crolix Communicator that allows free VoIP calls from one Android phone to another. It uses XMPP/Jingle to do that. Check it out, it's available on the Android Market: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.crolix-communicator-jADw.aspx/.

Submission + - Guantanamo deleted detainee IDs from Wikipedia (ljsf.org) 1
James Hardine writes: The New York Times and The Inquirer are reporting that Wikileaks, the transparency group that published two manuals leaked from the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba earlier this month has now caught US armed forces personnel there conducting propaganda attacks over the Internet. The activities uncovered by Wikileaks include deleting Guantanamo detainees' ID numbers from Wikipedia, posting of self-praising comments on news websites in response to negative articles, promoting pro-Guantanamo stories on the Internet news focus website Digg, and even altering Wikipedia's entry on Cuban President Fidel Castro to describe him as "an admitted transexual". Guantanamo spokesman Lt. Col. Bush blasted Wikileaks for identifying one "mass communications officer" by name, who has since received death threats for "simply doing his job — posting positive comments on the Internet about Gitmo". In response Wikileaks has posted independent confirmation of their analysis by security expert Bruce Schneier.
