this GPL'd suite of random number tests will be named "Dieharder". Using a
movie sequel pun for the name is a double tribute to George Marsaglia, whose
"Diehard battery of tests" of random number generators has enjoyed years of
enduring usefulness as a test suite.
The dieharder suite is more than just the diehard tests cleaned up and given a
pretty GPL'd source face in native C: tests from the Statistical Test Suite
(STS) developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
are being incorporated, as are new tests developed by rgb. Where possible,
tests are parametrized and controllable so that failure, at least, is
unambiguous.
A further design goal is to provide some indication of *why* a generator fails
a test, where such information can be extracted during the test process and
placed in usable form. For example, the bit-distribution tests should
(eventually) be able to display the actual histogram for the different bit
n-tuplets.
Dieharder is by design extensible. It is intended to be the "Swiss army knife
of random number test suites", or if you prefer, "the last suite you'll ever
ware" for testing random numbers.

algorithms for generating non-uniform pseudorandom variates as a library of C
functions designed and implemented by the ARVAG (Automatic Random VAriate
Generation) project group in Vienna, and released under the GNU Public License
(GPL). It is especially designed for situations where:
- a non-standard distribution or a truncated distribution is needed;
- experiments with different types of distributions are made;
- random variates for variance reduction techniques are used; or
- fast generators of predictable quality are necessary.
UNU.RAN provides generators that are superior in many aspects to those found in
quite a number of other libraries; however, due to its more sophisticated
programming interface, it might not be as easy to use.
It uses an object-oriented interface in which distributions and generators are
treated as independent objects, so that different methods for generating
non-uniform random variates may be chosen according to various criteria, such
as speed, quality, and variance reduction. It is flexible enough to permit
sampling from non-standard distributions, such as distributions that arise in
a model and can only be computed in complicated subroutines.

File::Find. Students are always asking me what closures are good for,
and here's some examples. The functions mostly stand alone (i.e. they
don't need the rest of the module), so rather than creating a
dependency in your code, just lift the parts you want).

running several torrents simultaneously and only uses one tcp port. It's fairly
low on resource usage and should be perfect for file distribution sites.
Efficient downloads and ease of use makes this client a good choice for the
casual user as well.

(skeleton) GTK GUI and provides automated purchases, sales, and
nominal ledgers as well as automated invoicing (via email). It also
supports VAT and payroll.
The latest version has considerable updates over the earlier releases
and isn't particularly backwards-compatible. The installation and
compilation is streamlined and the multi-database schema has been
reduced to a single database per company. The gnome GUI is still
lacking, but the command-line interface now has support for automated
bank reconciliation (from online banking QIF files), payroll,
automated billing and reminders, invoice PDF generation, statement
PDF generation, and a general journal.
