BhaKi writes ""Jpoker is a javascript client for playing online poker. It displays the list of poker tables and when the user choses one, it is displayed in the browser. The user can join the game and play hands. It supports multi table tournaments. The poker server to which jpoker connects must implement a protocol compatible with http://pokersource.info/poker-network/. jpoker user interface is based on http://tiddlywiki.com/. However the underlying jQuery based library is independent and can be used to implement alternate look and feel.""

BhaKi writes "Michael Larabel of Phoronix reports: "For the past several days benchmarks have been going on a plethora of ATI Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 (R600/700 generation) graphics cards as well as some of the older Radeon X1000 (R500) hardware for reference. ... At our disposal is quite a collection of graphics cards, but to much dismay this article has been postponed as the testing process had to be restarted from scratch. Why? The test results have been lost. The only time this has occurred previously was due to disk drive failure, but this time it's thanks to EXT4 in the Linux 2.6.32 kernel.""

BhaKi writes "Remember the Tree-View mode in many file management applications? It's shocking to know that this omnipresent feature was patented by Microsoft back in 1995 (granted in 1997). I'm not very sure about the implications, though. The patent is so general that it can be related to many things from tree-mode to virtual filesystems. Check out claim no. 3 of the patent for the most clear part. What are your comments?
