How to remove those annoying “._this is my song” duplicated titles that pop up on your dashboard if you use a usb stick made under OsX from all your iTunes songs.

find . -name “._*” -exec rm -rf {} \;
Pleas run find “. -name “._*” -print \;” first to see what will be deleted..

I must admit that I had not thought of using the browser (and Node/Javascript) to build and run large distributed networks of computer. But here is a project doing exactly that:
QMachine (QM) is a web service that uses Quanah to create a distributed computer that can use ordinary web browsers as ephemeral nodes. It contains three main components: an API server, a web server, and a website. The API server and the web server are both implemented in Node.js and available for use in server environments via NPM.

This is a scary rifle – it looks like it has the possibility to make a superb sniper out of anyone with enough money to buy one. (Although I have a real problem seeing how it compensates for wind):
