AMVOX DBS Transponder is the latest addition used in locking and unlocking of cars. Exclusive AMVOX range of timepieces created jointly by Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin.

The same device is been used by James Bond in several Bond Series movies, which helps him to perform all the actions by his car by just switching on-off a button.

This exceptional watch is able to lock and unlock the car, but you need to own an Aston Martin DBS for that matter. Though the 18-carat pink gold AMVOX DBS Transponder includes the same chronograph functionality as the AMVOX2 line of watches, but adds to that with a special miniaturized circuit that reads pressure on the sapphire crystal to allow locking/unlocking the car with nothing more than press on the watch’s face. As the driver will press the ‘OPEN’ position on the watch glass, the door-opening system will be activated and pressing the ‘CLOSE’ position will lock the car again. The watch has no push buttons and will be available exclusively through Aston Martin dealers.

The latest creation within the AMVOX collection required a high level of technical collaboration between the Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers and the Aston Martin technical team. This revolutionary timepiece concept builds on the successful innovation of the vertical trigger chronograph already present in the AMVOX2 line of timepieces, and creates a groundbreaking step: the first mechanical watch to control the locking.

The owner can start the unique experience of their sports car even before getting into it! The 18-carat pink gold AMVOX DBS Transponder will be available exclusively through Aston Martin dealers.

I can understand how tedious is to convert the size and format of different types of digital images into a consistent format one by one.

To get rid of that you can use Converseen, a batch image conversion tool that lets users convert and resize multiple images automatically. It’s easy to use, and allows you to convert images in a lot of different formats.

Converseen is an easy to use image batch converter and thumbnail creator written in C++ with powerful Qt4  libraries.

Francesco Mondello an Italian developer employed the Qt4 framework and Image Magick libraries in Converseen. “I used Qt4 because it’s easy to use and powerful, and allows you to create software that fits in well with the look and feel of KDE and GNOME,” he says.

He posted the project on SourceForge.net because “it’s the best way to share open source software. I appreciate being able to create a web site for my project, and I love the download counter.” To publicize its availability, Mondello announces new releases on Qt-Apps, freshmeat, and on the project’s web site.

With converseen you can:

• Carry out a single or a multiple conversion.
• Create one or multiple thumbnails.
• Create "converted" thumbnails.
• Compress images for your pages.

Everyone loves subtitles , as not every good movie is made in your own language but sometimes you may not find a subtitle file in your own language but it may be in some other language , like for me i prefer English subtitles but some movies have Italian, French, Arabic, or Chinese subtitles and then I use Open Subtitle translator software to convert them to English .

Open Subtitle translator is a freeware software written in java that can be used on any platform and it allows one to translate subtitle from any given language to other, it uses Google translate so the languages you are using should be supported by Google translate.

You can download it here

Hope this app helps  you get your subtitles in correct language , if any problems ask in comments .

Barely Legal XXX Perl

Jos Boumans (RIPE NCC)

Presentation: Barely Legal XXX Perl Presentation [PDF]

“Barely Legal XXX Perl” shows several features of Perl you might not have known that existed, that are being (ab)used to run a program that was designed never to be able to run in the first place… It’s a high paced, humourous, and entertaining look at Perl’s slightly less obvious features.
