POPSMoodle Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a University with 200,000 students. This site itself is created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read the latest Moodle Buzz.

POPSFree anti-rootkit software Panda AntiRootkit is a free utility that performs in-depth scans of your computer in search for hidden resources, identifying and disinfecting known and unknown rootkits. Unlike other rootkit utilities which merely "reveal" hidden objects, Panda AntiRootkit positively identifies known and unknown rootkits and gives the option of removing them, including their associated registry entries, processes and files. In addition Panda AntiRootkit has an Exhaustive Scan Monitor (requires reboot) capable of monitoring drivers and processes loading at boot time. It's unique technology does this at a lower level than any other AntiRootkit utility, therefore revealing all hiding techniques used by the latest generation rootkits. Panda AntiRootkit discovers hidden files, registry entries, drivers, processes, modules, SDT modifications, EAT hooks, modifications to IDT, non-standard INT2E, non-standard SYSENTER, IRP hooks, and much more.

POPSThe Internet Is a Brain There is a lot we can learn from the brain and it can tell us where the Internet is headed next. There’s nothing magical in the brain (at least that we’ve found thus far), and yet it delivers all our mental capabilities, and emotional ones as well – that’s a very intriguing thought. After all, just as there is no particular reason for this lump inside our heads to appreciate fine wines and music, cry, laugh, reason, love, daydream, and aspire to greater things, there is no reason why silicon or some other fundamental substance (maybe even carbon some day), could not be coaxed into creating something similar.

POPSBoolify It is hypothesized that the visual cues Boolify provides will help learners build a mental model of the search that they are performing. A mental model is an internal visualization that can be used to guide practice and, in the case of Boolify, the software helps make explicit and graphical the formation and the results of their search.

POPSUniversal Networking Language The UNL is a computer language that enables computers to process information and knowledge. It is an artificial language that replicates the functions of natural languages. Using the UNL, people can express all kinds of information and knowledge that conveyed by natural languages and computers can intercommunicate using such information and knowledge. The UNL not only makes it possible to provide people with a Language Infrastructure (LI) for distributing, receiving and understanding multilingual information, but also makes it possible to provide computers with enough knowledge in the form accessible and understandable. This Knowledge Infrastructure (KI) enables computers to make intelligent processing including reasoning.

POPSThe Genetic Early Adopters Knome is at the forefront of the push toward so-called personalized medicine. Scientists and physicians hope that when sequencing costs come down enough, genetic analysis will become a ubiquitous part of health care, helping doctors choose the best treatments for a specific patient, or helping individuals take steps to prevent diseases for which they are at risk.

POPSHow I Stole Someone's Identity Setup: This is the case of one subject whom I'll call "Kim." She's a friend of my wife, so just from previous conversations I already knew her name, what state she was from, where she worked, and about how old she was. But that's about all I knew. She then told me which bank she used (although there are some pretty easy ways to find that out) and what her user name was. (It turns out it was fairly predictable: her first initial + last name.) Based on this information, my task was to gain access to her account.
