Matroska

Published in 2003 May 1, matroska is a challenging project, aiming to become the standard of Multimedia Container Formats one day. It was derived from a similar project called MCF, but differentiates from that significantly because it is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language ), a kind of binary version of XML. This way the development team gains significant advantages in terms of future format extensability, without breaking file support in old parsers.
It is maybe essential to first clarify in this context what exactly an Audio/Video container is, to avoid misunderstandings :
this is not a video compression format, nor can it be used to compress music or pictures like MP3 or JPEG, as it is not a codec (shortform for (en)coder - decoder)! It is more like the envelope around several audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie in one single file thats easy to handle, and making sure the audio and video can be played in Mediaplayers on PCs or standalone units in your living room, in perfect sync and with all the comfort you may expect from a modern container format, like
- extensability for future use 
- menues ( like DVDs have )
- chapter entries
- selectable subtitle streams
- selectable audio streams
- fast seeking in the file
- high error recovery
- streamable over Internet (both HTTP and RTP)
matroska is an open standards project, means that its absolutely free to use and the technical specifications describing the bitstream are open to everybody, even to companies that like to support it in their products using a closed source implementation. However, a special form of license, to be released in written form together with the final version of it, will describe exactly how it maybe used in such cases. For more details visit the 'License' subpage on release date of the format here. The sourcecode of all the libraries developed by the matroska developement team will get licensed under GNU GPL and QPL license types (dual license), so that a big number of different licensing shemes can be accomplished and even commercial or closed source software can support matroska with its own library. Please contact the team for more details in this respect.
The founders of matroska have the following goals :
- create and document a modern, flexible, x-platform compatible Audio/Video container format
- establish matroska as the opensource alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, MPG
- develop a set of tools for the creation, editing and implementation of matroska files, under a GNU GPL type license
- develop libraries and tools for software developers to be able to support matroska in their applications
- prepare hardware support of matroska files in next generations standalone units, in close cooperation with device manufacturers
- support adaption and implementation of matroska's libraries into OpenBeOS Mediakit and GStreamer (Multimedia Framework for Linux, equivalent to Microsoft (TM) DirectShow (R) for Windows (TM) )
- launch a set of DirectShow filters for playback and creation of matroska files on Windows (TM) Operating Systems

Medicare (Australia)

Medicare is Australia's publically-funded, universal health scheme, providing affordable treatment by doctors and in public hospitals for all citizens and permanent residents (as well as tourists from countries which have reciprocal arrangements with Australia).
The scheme was introduced in 1983 by the Labor government of Bob Hawke, following on from the earlier Medibank scheme introduced by the Whitlam government in the 1970's. It is nominally funded by an income tax surcharge known as the "Medicare levy", but in practice the levy raises only a fraction of the money required to pay for the scheme.
In Australia, government-run hospitals are actually built and operated by the various state and territory governments. Therefore, in practice, the state governments, as well as private doctors, act as pseudo-contractors for the Medicare scheme, providing medical services at fixed rates for the federal government.
For most outpatient services, Medicare funds 85% of the scheduled fee for the service, leaving the patient to pay the remainder (up to a maximum level of $52.50). Treatment in a public hospital is fully subsidised. People on pensions are fully funded and do not have to pay for treatment (known as bulk-billing). 
Despite the universality of the system, approximately 30% of Australians also retain private health insurance, a proportion that was declining but has increased again with the introduction of "lifetime community rating" (where people who enter health insurance later in life pay higher premiums than those who have held coverage since they were younger) and tax incentives to take out private cover. These patients prefer private cover to fund their stays in private hospitals (which offer private rooms, better food, and other amenities making hospital more tolerable) and on-demand treatment for "elective" surgery such as joint reconstructions or heart bypass surgery (for which there are often long waiting times in the public system). 
Medicare has been popular with the general public since its inception, but is disliked by many in the medical profession (possibly because it caps their fees and thus income). The conservative side of politics would like to reduce its coverage, but have found it too popular to tamper with thus far.
There are several related services for other government-managed aspects of the health system, such as the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which provides prescription drugs at heavily subsidised rates.
Medium Earth orbit

Intermediate circular orbit; another name for medium earth orbit (MEO), used by satellites between the altitudes of low earth orbit and geostationary
orbit. GPS is a MEO satellite constellation.
ICO is also a proposed communications constellation for satellite telephony, originally developed by Inmarsat and spun off. In the wake of the financial failure of Iridium_(satellite), ICO also entered bankruptcy protection and delayed launching its satellites.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Released in 2001 for the Playstation 2 console, and re-released in 2002 as Metal Gear 2: Substance for the Playstation 2, X-Box, and PC platforms.
The latest game in the Metal Gear series, Metal Gear 2: Sons of Liberty extends the series plot line and introduces a new main character into the series. For the first time in the series, Solid Snake is not the playable character in the majority of the game. Instead players control Raiden, a new member of Foxhound fresh from VR training.
The gameplay is largely unchanged from Metal Gear Solid, only slightly refined, allowing players to take 1st person aim when shooting and giving players the option to tranquilize, instead of kill, their enemies. Cinema sequences become a principal part of the game, even moreso then in Metal Gear Solid.
The game takes place after the Shadow Moses Island Incident in Metal Gear Solid. Since then Metal Gear REX blueprints have been sold to the black market by Revolver Ocelot, and many nations now have REX in their arsenal. Now a part of an anti-Metal Gear group "Philanthropy" Solid Snake and Otacon are investigating the Marines' transportation of a new Metal Gear weapon. Snake infiltrates a tanker thought to carry it, and gets caught up in the middle of a terrorist takeover at the same time.
Raiden's mission comes 2 years later, taking place where the tanker sunk. In its place is the Big Shell, constructed to clean the oil spilled from the tanker.
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is an upcoming stealth based video game collection developed by Kojima Productions and Bluepoint Games (the creator of the God of War Collection & the upcoming Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection), and will be published by Konami for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The collection contains High-definition ports of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is slated for an early November release in 2011.
==Development==
News of the HD collection was first announced and confirmed in Konami’s pre-E3 conference by series creator, Hideo Kojima. Through and advertisement created by Mega64, it was revealed that the that the PlayStation 3 version of the collection would be able to make use of their "Transfarring" service, a service which allows PlayStation Portable owners to transfer saved games from the handheld to the PlayStation 3 and back, thus allowing owners to continue their games on the go. Xbox 360 owners however won’t be able to use this feature for obvious reasons. The advertisement states that all three games will be playable in 1080p and concluding that the collection would be released for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Despite Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker being specifically designed for the PlayStation Portable, the controls will be adapted for the more sophisticated DualShock controller and Xbox 360 Controller.
 
In a recent Twitter post, Hideo Kojima has stated that the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will feature re-recorded voice work and that re-recording is currently in progress. However, it is unclear whether Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty will also be receiving new voice work. It is also unclear whether the statement refers to the English voice work, the Japanese voice work, or both.
As well as re-recorded audio, Hideo Kojima has also confirmed through Twitter that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will run at 60 frames per second in HD. Kojima has already confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater would run at 60 frames per second, originally the PS2 version was supposed to fun at 60 frames per second but due to the "collision detection and jungle visuals," they were forced to keep it to 30.
 
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty originally ran at 60 frames per second when it was first released in 2001, so it'll remain at 60 frames per second but will still receive a visual touch-up.
So far, only the HD version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has been allowed to be shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 in June, but is has been confirmed that the complete collection will be shown at this year’s Tokyo Game Show in September, allowing attendees to try out the whole collection.

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project helps Project Managers to develop plans, assign resources to tasks, track progress, manage budgets and analyze workloads.
Project Management software doesn't make someone a Project Manager any more than spreadsheet software makes someone a financial analyst. However like the spreadsheet, planning software enables capture of planning details and presents the results of planning decisions. 
Microsoft Project creates the project schedule based on Project Start Date, the Project Calendar, task definitions, task durations and dependencies between tasks. A successor tasks cannot start until all of its predecessors have completed (finish-to-start dependency). A critical path schedule results.
Resource definitions (people, equipment and materials) can be shared between projects using a shared resource pool.
Microsoft Project creates budgets based on assignment work and resource rates. As resources are assigned to tasks and assignment work estimated, Microsoft Project calculates the cost equals the work times the rate. This rolls up to the task level, then to any summary tasks and finally to the project level.
Microsoft Project has been extended with Project Server and Project Web Access. 
Project server stores Project data in a central database and Project Web Access allows user to display and update this data over the internet.
To get an appreciation of Microsoft Project you can download a 60-day demo from http://www.microsoft.com/project.
Middle-earth

Ficticious land created by JRR Tolkien where the action of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings takes place. Tolkien wrote extensively about the mythology/history of the land, and many of those writing have been edited and posthumously published by his son, most notably The Silmarillion.
The term "Middle Earth" is almost certainly Tolkien's rendering of the term "Midgard" or "Middengeard" found in old Norse and Germanic literature.

Middle Earth Housing

Middle Earth is a residential housing complex at the University of California, Irvine. There are 24 residence halls based off of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
There are basketball courts, beach volleyball courts, and a game room for activities including pool and ping pong. There is a small population of squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and possums. 
Middle Earth in 1974. The initial buildings were designed primarily by A. Quincy Jones. The halls are named after Spanish names:
Middle Earth is located right along the main campus circle. The dorms were built in consecutive phases, the last of which was completed in the early 2000s. The newer phases have larger rooms but are located farther from the main campus. Most newer phase dorms have three floors, and the older ones have two. 
Each hall has a common room with a TV, kitchen, a study room, and laundry facilities.

Milk caps (game)

'Pogs are small carboard washers that are collectible and you can use to play.
The classic game is to pile up several pogs that two people will try to flip with another one or a slammer. The one that does win.
The pogs are based on washers found in the plug of ancient milk bottles, or fruit juice (the name comme from the French acronym Pomme (Apple), Orange, Goyave).

Mixer (service)

Beam is a Seattle-based live streaming video platform owned by Microsoft. The service officially launched on January 5, 2016.
Similarly to competing services, Beam focuses on video gaming, including playthroughs of video games, but is primarily distinguished by features designed to allow viewers to interact with streams. Using an SDK, features can be integrated into games to allow users to affect gameplay or vote on elements using buttons displayed alongside the stream. Users earn "Beam XP" for watching and participating in streams, which can then be spent to activate these features. Due to its HTML5 video architecture, Beam also advertises an average latency of 200 milliseconds. The reduction in delay between the original broadcast and when it is received by viewers is meant to improve the real-time nature of these interactivity features.
On August 11, 2016, Beam was acquired by Microsoft. The service's team was integrated into the Xbox division. On October 26, 2016, Microsoft announced that Beam would be integrated into Windows 10.

Mono (software)

Mono is the name of an open source project by Ximian to create a .NET-compatable set of tools, includin a C# compiler, a Common Language Runtime, and more, all to run on Linux or UNIX computer. While Microsoft plans to make a version of .NET available for FreeBSD with Corel, Ximian and others believe their shared source licence will impede developement of a Linux port.
A similar project, called Portable.NET, is part of the dotGNU project.

Mozilla software rebranded by Debian

The name Iceweasel was coined to refer to Mozilla Firefox during a spirited debate in early 2005. During this debate, the members of the Debian Project fiercely argued over whether or not the new Mozilla Foundation trademark rules made the packaging of Firefox problematic under the Debian Free Software Guidelines.

Music

Broadly speaking, music is any artful or entertaining arrangement of sounds, deliberate or otherwise.
We can define "music" more formally as a series of organized sounds and silences temporal in nature, which those who know it can reproduce. 
Most music also has some degree of rhythm, melody, and harmony.
Though the scales which arose in the world's various musical traditions are often quite different, the frequency of the notes in a given scale are usually related by some simple mathematical law. For instance, consider the math of Western music scales. The early music of Greek antiquity further developed the scales to the notion of modes, where each mode is the usual diatonic scale but with a different starting note. Modes would come back into favour some time later in the development of jazz.
Closely related to melody but a much newer development is harmony. Harmony is the sound made by two different notes played at once, whether on one instrument such as a guitar or piano or the intersection of two or more musical lines on distinct instruments, such as in a fugue.
For much of the history of western classical music the conventions and rules of harmony were strictly enforced, often by the controlling influence of the Church, whilst folk music and non-Western music also developed often widely different notions of harmony.
The following are music-related topics:
* musical instrument
* musical ensemble
