Little Snitch 2.2.3 - Alerts you to outgoing network connections. (Demo): "

Little Snitch 2.2.3
Little Snitch... A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!

As soon as you\'re connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want.



Sometimes they do this for good reason, on your explicit request. But often they don\'t. Little Snitch allows you to intercept these unwanted connection attempts, and lets you decide how to proceed.



Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.2.3:

  • Fixed an issue when creating rules by dragging an application into the Little Snitch rules window.

  • Fixed a localization issue in the preferences window.

  • Fixed: Some applications were not shown with their correct app icon.

Fairmount is a free open-source companion to the VideoLAN Client to make encrypted DVDs readable by any application.

Fairmount is a free tool which allows on-the-fly decryption of DVD content for convenient access. Fairmount does not perform the actual decryption, it simply forwards the data to VLC Media Player, which is used for the decryption. Hence, VLC Media Player must be installed for Fairmount to work.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1:
  • Features better error reporting when no adequate version of VLC Media Player is found.

MacSpice 3f5 2.10.25 - Electronic circuit simulator. (Free)

MacSpice 3f5 2.10.25 - Electronic circuit simulator. (Free): "

MacSpice 3f5 2.10.25
MacSpice 3f5... Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This netlist is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses this.


A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.


MacSpice has native support for both PowerPC and Intel architecture Apple Macintosh computers. It is derived from, and compatible with, Berkeley Spice 3f5. MacSpice incorporates many improvements to Spice 3f5 - from simple bug-fixes to entirely new commands, algorithms and solution strategies. For example: the memory leaks that affected Spice 3f4 have been cured; new algorithms have been developed to facilitate the simulation of large circuits, and to reduce simulation time; MacSpice provides a robust multi-parameter optimizer and facilities for inter-process communication with other applications.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.10.25:
  • Issue with \'sens\' analyses affecting version 2.10.24 fixed.
  • Include statements in netlists now handle quoted spaces in filenames correctly.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
