Dreamweaver 8 is the industry-leading web development tool, enabling users to efficiently design, develop and maintain standards-based websites and applications. With Dreamweaver 8, web developers go from start to finish, creating and maintaining basic websites to advanced applications that support best practices and the latest technologies. Get more done with Dreamweaver 8. New features and optimized workflows reduce the time required to complete common tasks. Integrate XML data with a powerful drag and drop workflow. Zoom in to get control over design and stay focused on the code with Code Collapse. Add Flash Video in five clicks of a mouse.

Macromedia’s Dreamweaver has long dominated the world of web design software, handily outselling competing applications like Adobe’s GoLive. With Macromedia’s acquisition by Adobe Systems at the end of 2005, Dreamweaver and GoLive, found themselves under the same blended corporate family. How would this sibling rivalry shake out?

Countering speculation that the less-popular GoLive might be discontinued or that the two applications would be combined, Adobe stated in June that GoLive will continue to be supported and developed “based on our customers’ needs.” Dreamweaver, however, will be the focus of “future innovation” and integration into the Creative Suite.

So that’s the scoop. Integration with Photoshop and the other Creative Suite applications (Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat) is at the top of my must-have features list. For this long-time GoLive user, it looks like the time is right to make the switch to Dreamweaver.

Whether you’re a switcher like me, a new web designer or a seasoned Dreamweaver user, Dreamweaver 8’s roster of new and improved features have plenty to offer.

For beginners, Dreamweaver 8 offers new starter pages – website templates built around themes like restaurant, health and nutrition and lodging. Each template includes a home page, a product page, a text page, a catalog page and a calendar page; enough to get you up and going if you need quick results.

Tabbed documents, new for Mac users, let you keep track of multiple open document windows and move among them by clicking tabs at the top of the workspace. If you prefer, you can disable this feature. Along with tabs, Dreamweaver 8 lets you choose among four customized workspace layouts – tailored for coders or designers – or create and save your own.

Once you have your workspace set, you can use guides to align page elements precicely, then zoom in or out using the Zoom tool in the status bar at the bottom of the active window. The zoom feature can also be accessed from the menu bar, a pop-up menu in the status bar and with keyboard shortcuts. Both guides and zoom are new in Dreamweaver 8, and both add ease and accuracy to designing chores.

If you bring in text for your web pages from Microsoft Word or Excel or from email, you’ll certainly be pleased by the new Paste Special options, which let you choose how much formatting to retain. You can paste text only, text with structure (tables, paragraphs, lists) text with basic formatting, (bold, italics) or text with full formatting (bold, italics and styles). Line breaks can be discarded, a real boon when importing from email. The import can even clean up Word paragraph spacing.

CSS – Cascading Style Sheets – allow the designer to specify how elements like fonts, text size, indentations and paragraph styles appear on the web page. With CSS, all you need to do to change an element across an entire website is make a change to that element’s style sheet. Dreamweaver 8 pulls together CSS tools and information in a new unified CSS panel that helps make more sense of this powerful and often complex coding method. Other CSS enhancements in Dreamweaver 8 include rendering improvements, a style rendering toolbar, and borders, colors and tooltips to better visualize CSS layouts.

One of the biggest improvements to Dreamweaver takes place behind the scenes. Dreamweaver 8 now lets you keep working while files are being transferred to the server in the background, a much-appreciated time-saver. It’s no longer necessary to wait while the application performs these tasks.

I’ve emphasized the design-based enhancements of Dreamweaver 8. There are also a slew of improvements aimed at coders, including a coding toolbar, code editing improvements, visual authoring with XML data and improved WebDAV support.

Dreamweaver 8’s tutorials, documentation and web support are all first-rate. The instruction has multiple points of entry based on your experience, with sections for web design novices, experienced web designers, experienced hand-coders and web application developers. You can read the printed manual or take advantage of the hyperlinks in the onscreen manual, available under the Help menu, to move easily from topic to topic. The splash screen includes web links to the resource-rich Dreamweaver Developer Center, as well as video tours of Dreamweaver 8’s features.

If you haven’t yet decided whether to take the plunge, you can download a 30 day trial version of Dreamweaver 8 from Adobe’s website, then use the free tutorials and presentations in the web-based Evaluation Guide to learn more about the program and take it through its paces. The Evaluation Guide materials are worthwhile for new users, upgraders and for people switching from other applications.

Το παράνομο λογισμικό είναι ακριβό, αναξιόπιστο και διώκεται από το νόμο

Αθήνα, 30 Ιουλίου 2008

H εγκατάσταση και χρήση πειρατικών προγραμμάτων λογισμικού συνεπάγεται υψηλά οικονομικά πρόστιμα, αλλά και τεχνικούς και λειτουργικούς κινδύνους για το δίκτυο Η/Υ μιας επιχείρησης, προειδοποιεί η Business Software Alliance (BSA). Σύμφωνα με ανακοίνωση της Υπηρεσίας Ειδικών Ελέγχων (ΥΠ.Ε.Ε) του Υπ. Οικονομικών, που αναρτήθηκε πρόσφατα στην σχετική ιστοσελίδα, έχει ξεκινήσει η διαδικασία για την αποστολή προσκλήσεων υποβολής δήλωσης απογραφής λογισμικού σε επιχειρήσεις που απασχολούν από 15 έως και 19 υπαλλήλους. Επιτόπιοι έλεγχοι θα πραγματοποιηθούν στις επιχειρήσεις που δεν ανταποκρίνονται στις προσκλήσεις ή υποβάλλουν ελλειπή στοιχεία.

Σε μελέτη που πραγματοποίησε η BSΑ σε μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις διαπιστώθηκε άγνοια -50% των ερωτηθέντων- για τη νομιμότητα των προγραμμάτων λογισμικού που χρησιμοποιούν και συνεπώς έλλειψη γνώσης για τους κινδύνους που κρύβει. Το λογισμικό που δεν έχει αγορασθεί απ’ ευθείας από τον κατασκευαστή ή αξιόπιστο μεταπωλητή, ή δεν έχει εγκατασταθεί από αξιόπιστες πηγές στο Διαδίκτυο, συχνά περιέχει ιούς ή κακόβουλο λογισμικό. Επιπλέον, ο χρήστης δεν δικαιούται τεχνική υποστήριξη ενώ ενδέχεται και να μην μπορεί να πραγματοποιήσει δωρεάν αναβαθμίσεις.

Σε ότι αφορά στις νομικές κυρώσεις, βάσει της ελληνικής νομοθεσίας οι αρμόδιες κρατικές αρχές που θα εντοπίσουν πειρατικό λογισμικό σε Η/Υ θα επιβάλλουν διοικητικό πρόστιμο €1.000 για κάθε παράνομο πρόγραμμα. Παραδείγματος χάριν, εάν σε ένα δίκτυο 17 Η/Υ, που δεν φέρει νόμιμη άδεια χρήσης για 17 χρήστες εντοπισθεί το ίδιο πρόγραμμα λογισμικού εγκατεστημένο σε κάθε υπολογιστή, θα επιβληθεί πρόστιμο €17.000.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, η BSA (μέσω της ιστοσελίδας της www.bsa.org/hellas) παρέχει χρήσιμα εργαλεία και συμβουλές για την ορθή διαχείριση πόρων λογισμικού, καθώς και λεπτομέρειες που αφορούν στην ελληνική νομοθεσία για την προστασία των πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων. Απλές διαδικασίες, όπως η εφαρμογή ενός ολοκληρωμένου προγράμματος διαχείρισης πόρων λογισμικού και η επιβολή κανόνων χρήσης Η/Υ στους υπαλλήλους, εξασφαλίζουν σε μια επιχείρηση νομιμότητα, βέλτιστη απόδοση και παραγωγικότητα.

Από το 2006 έως και σήμερα η ΥΠΕΕ έχει αποστείλει συνολικά 9.473 επιστολές σε επιχειρήσεις που απασχολούν περισσότερους από 20 εργαζόμενους για την υποβολή δήλωσης απογραφής λογισμικού. Στις περιπτώσεις που εντοπίσθηκαν ανεπαρκή στοιχεία αλλά και στις εταιρίες που δεν ανταποκρίθηκαν στην πρόσκληση υποβολής, τα κλιμάκια της ΥΠΕΕ πραγματοποίησαν ελέγχους και όπου παρουσιάστηκαν παραβάσεις υπεβλήθησαν διοικητικά πρόστιμα €1.000 για κάθε παράνομο πρόγραμμα λογισμικού.

Mozilla’s Firefox 3 demo

Αυτός ο νέος κινητήρας...

Αυτός ο νέος κινητήρας, είναι 50% μικρότερος, 50% ελαφρύτερος, βγάζει 50% λιγότερα καυσαέρια και διπλασιάζει την οικονομία στα καύσιμα!..

X4v2 Engine Picture

Revetec, a little known company from the Gold Coast region of Australia, may be on to something huge: they’ve created an engine that is 50% smaller, 50% lighter, has 50% lower emissions and is cheaper to manufacture than a conventional internal combustion engine of the same horsepower. Oh yeah, did I mention that it doubles the fuel economy too.

What that means is a car like the 2007 Toyota Yaris, which is rated at 40 mpg on the highway, would get 80 mpg with a Revetec engine.

This isn’t some hoax… They have a prototype which has been attached to an actual vehicle and independently tested to substantiate their claims.

In personal communication with Mr. Brad Howell-Smith, the Chairman, Inventor and CAD Designer for Revetec, he says “road tests have estimated that [the engine] uses around 50% less fuel than a conventional engine” and if it were converted to run on diesel, that performance gain could be much higher.

Also, because the engine delivers higher torque, and can perform and operate well at much lower rpm’s than a conventional one, the noise levels are lower.

To illustrate how serious he is, Mr. Howell-Smith said that since 2001 his company has been in touch with the US Military Head of R&D for the Southern Hemisphere on a “regular basis” for the purpose of developing one of their engines for light aircraft.

X4v2 SchematicThe current prototype engine, the X4v2, is what Revetec calls a “controlled combustion engine.” The meat of the engine comprises two counter rotating multilobate cams, which are acted upon by two pairs of diametrically opposed pistons which are rigidly interlinked by connecting rods.

If that sounds like complete gibberish to you, you’re not alone. Which is why I included an animation of the process to the left. A more simplified animation of the general motion of an engine of this sort is also included below.

Mr. Howell-Smith said that “if [the engine] uses 50% less fuel given that it has the same top end as a conventional engine, emissions would be reduced by 50% if the bottom end was utilized.”

Revetec AnimationWhat does all that stuff about “bottom end” and “top end” mean? The X4v2 has a huge amount of torque over a much larger range of rpm’s than a conventional internal combustion engine.

If a person were to drive a vehicle fitted with this engine in a non-aggressive fashion and keep the rpm’s at the “bottom end” (meaning no “jack-rabbit” starts) they could expect to see a 50% reduction in emissions.

Alternatively, according to Mr. Howell-Smith, a person could see a 30% reduction in fuel use and a 30% reduction in emissions if they used the full acceleration power of the X4v2 all the time. This would provide a 20% increase in acceleration capabilities.

We could debate about whether or not the internal combustion engine has a place in the future of transportation or whether it’s going to be all-electric or fuel cell or whatever… but in the meantime, Revetec has a product that could revolutionize the the transportation industry now, and provide a much needed large reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.

Just imagine a bunch of 80 mpg Toyota Yarises (Yarisi??) running around all over the place. A little scary, I know, but… an 80 mpg conventional automobile? I must be dreaming, wake me up before I get too excited.
