Pluto is the last and the most distant planet of our solar system. Have you ever dreamed to view it from space?

Now you can do it sitting on your chair. Nice 3D model of Pluto with moons can attract everyone. Planet statistics will show how great it is.

Pluto is the Reference Implementation of the Java Portlet Specfication. The current version of this specification is JSR 168.

Portlets are designed to run in the context of a portal. They are written to the Portlet API which are similar to the Servlet API.

In contrast to servlets, portlets may not do things like sending redirects or errors to browsers directly, forwarding requests or writing arbitrary markup to the output stream to assure that they don?t distract the portal web application which uses them.

Another difference compared to servlets is that portlets rely on portal specific infrastructure functions such as access to user profile information, standard interface for storing/retrieving persistent settings, getting client information, etc. Generally,
portlets are administrated more dynamically than servlets typically are.

A portlet container provides a runtime environment for portlets implemented according to the Portlet API. In this environment portlets can be instantiated, used and finally destroyed. The portlet container is not a stand-alone container like the servlet container; instead it is implemented as a thin layer on top of the servlet container and reuses the functionality provided by the servlet container.

Pluto serves as portlet container that implements the Portlet API and offers developers a working example platform from which they can test their portlets. However, its cumbersome to execute and test the portlet container without a driver, in this case, the portal.

Plutos simple portal component is built only on the portlet containers and the JSR 168s requirements. (In contrast, the more sophisticated, Jetspeed project concentrates on the portal itself rather than the portlet container, and considers requirements from other groups.)

Pluto the Dead Planet Screensaver contains a collection of 15 high resolution images of the dwarf planet Pluto. It s official: Pluto is no longer a planet. It is now only a dwarf planet, one of three in the solar system. The fate of Pluto was determined on Thursday August 24th, 2006 by a vote among members of the International Astronomical Union in Prague.

Pluto is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and the tenth largest observed body directly orbiting the Sun. It orbits between 29 and 49 AU from the Sun, and was the first Kuiper Belt object to be discovered. Approximately one-fifth the mass of the Earth s Moon, Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice. It has an eccentric orbit that is highly inclined with respect to the planets and takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune during a portion of its orbit.

The Killer Brain from Pluto is too terrifying to be shown on this page! Can anything stop this mad mutated mental monster? See every frightening detail when you download and install Killer Brain from Pluto 3D Screensaver.

Pluto Bi-Directional Comm library automates bi-directional communication over bluetooth or sockets. Very object oriented and easy to use. Allows 2 devices to send each other commands.

The framework handles all the handshaking & protocols, and provides a template for commands.

How does it work?

This library allows 2 devices to communicate with each other over sockets or a Bluetooth connection. BD handles the handshaking, communication protocol, and provides a very simple way to send and implement commands.

Both sides are truly peers, and either side send the other a command by creating an instance of the command. Each side creates an instance of BDCommandProcessor, and then either side can create an instance of a command, add it to BDCommandProcessor, and the other side will implement the command. Each command is really just a simple class derived from BDCommand.

You only add whatever member variables your command, and implement a pure virtual "ProcessAction" member function. When one side wants to send that command to the other, it just creates an instance of it, sets member variables, and passes it to the "SendCommand" function in BDCommandProcessor.

The framework will automatically serialize the member variables in the class, and send the data to the other side. On the other side, the framework will recreate the class with the member variables set, and call the "ProcessAction" function which you implement to do whatever the command is supposed to do.

Your software doesnt need to worry about any of the data serialization, or the handshaking, or the sending of the commands. The framework handles all that--you just implement the "ProcessAction" function.

Pluto Request Action Library allows you to create a client/server application, where client sends requests, server replies with responses and optional actions. Very object oriented, and takes only minutes to get going. Same library used for both server & client side.

How does it work?

The client creates "Requests" which it sends to the server. The server will process the request, set some return variables, and can optionally add "Actions" it wants the client to execute in response. An example is a cashiers computer (the client) sends the central credit card processing server a request to "process a credit card", the server responds with the authorization code and also includes an action "give customer a message" which causes a message to appear on the cashiers computer.
Both the client and server use the same library. Both create an instance of RA_Processor.

The only difference is the server calls "ReceiveRequest" and the client creates the actual requests, and calls RA_Processors "SendRequest".
To create a request, just create a class derived from RA_Request. Add some member variables for the request and variables for the response. Your request must be derived from SerializeClass--a base class that facilitates taking an object (a request in this case), serializing the variables into a binary block, and then on the other end reconstructing the class with all the data. The framework handles everything. You just add the data members.

In the above example, the request variables would probably be the credit card information and maybe the customer ID, and the response variables would be the authorization code. RA_Request has a pure virtual function "ProcessRequest" which will be called on the server to handle the request. Both the client and the server have the same Request/Action classes. When the client side passes a request to the RequestProcessor, the framework handles serializing all the request member variables, making the socket connection to the server and sending the request to the server.

On the server, the framework will create an instance of the request class and deserialize all the data and call the "ProcessRequest" member function. That is the only function the server needs to implement. From within ProcessRequest, the server needs to set the response variables. When ProcessRequest returns, the framework will serialize the response variables, send them back to the client, update the clients original request with the response, and execution will continue. Less than 10 lines of code are required to make it work, and the project includes a sample client/server application you can extend.

Start virtual travel around Near Space with our 3d model of Solar System. Look at hot stone called Mercury and cloudy Venus, blue Earth and red Mars, its channels are fantastic and snow hats are realy exist. Jupiter Red spot is an one secret of largest planet. Look at rings of Saturn. Its amazing. Uran, Neptune, Pluto, Satellites and Asteroids are in our screensaver.

When you can not distinguish between virtual reality and reality, when computer-assisted dreams are more real than real life, when your cult leader answers every question you may have, then the real world becomes the dreamworld and your friends may not have a place your new universe.

Its about how we put together whats real and what isnt Our perception and understanding of the world are influenced by what we are taught. A Buddhist will not apprehend the world as a Christian will.

So, when a cunning cult leader uses technology to reinforce a certain interpretation of the world: "One of the mysteries which we hope will be revealed, is that Pluto appears to be a very small planet and yet its influence on the orbits of other planets in the solar system should make it heavier. We know that Pluto has an elliptical orbit, much longer and flatter than any of the other planets.

And that at times it passes inside the orbit of Neptune, and ceases to be the outermost planet in the solar system... ...Weve just come through such a period when Pluto was closer than Neptune.

Astrology tells us that should have been a time of great upheavals and changes in the world, and we can see these changes in the events of recent years, both here in Australia, and overseas." thus giving astrology a semblance of rationality, it is enough for some people to start "believing" in that so-called philosophical system.

Add to that the emotional stress of a breakup with your lover, some "therapy" sessions overseen by a manipulating leader, the pressure to succeed in a world where if you are not number one, youre nobody and you have the perfect recipe to re-program a human being into a cult member. Dare to dream they say. But you can drown in dreams !

LinuxMCE is a free, open source add-on to Ubuntu including a 10 UI, complete whole-house media solution with pvr + distributed media, and the most advanced smarthome solution available. The project is stable, easy to use, and requires no knowledge of Linux and only basic computer skills.

Whats New in This Release:

· LinuxMCE Version 1.1 for Kubuntu Feisty represents a significant change over 1.0. The code in LinuxMCE 1.0 was already quite stable, however, many users reported installation issues, too many scripts inherited from Pluto that took over the conf files, a kludgey integration with Ubuntu, and incomplete integration with MythTV. All these are addressed in the new 1.1.
