gstreamer port to Java

Asserting SwingWorker
I have had a chance to play around with some java code recently for a change of pace and I was excited to use the new SwingWorker class in JSE6. However I also am in the habit of programming with asserts which I found out to be a problem if one triggers while running in [...]
A Podcast for the Few
I have been listening to the software engineering radio podcast for a few months now it covers a number of topics on current software engineering trends and has interviews with different developers.

If you are a /. reader you may have heard about a small start up called blue security who had a novel concept of [...]
