As a young boy, Dieter Dengler watched as Allied planes destroyed his village; from that instant, he knew he wanted to fly. At 18, he moved to America, enlisted in the Navy and was promptly shipped to Vietnam. During one of his first missions, however, Dengler was shot down over Laos and taken prisoner; although he escaped and returned home, the experience still haunts him. Werner Herzog directs this affecting documentary.

Big Tobacco spin doctor Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is on a mission to make the country forget the dangers of his product. Rallying for the cause, he works to promote smoking in the movies and hush former employees who bad-mouth cigarettes, all the while trying to remain a role model for his young son. Maria Bello, Katie Holmes, Robert Duvall and William H. Macy co-star in Jason Reitman's razor-sharp satire, which won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay.

UPnP-IGD 1.0.0 — 5 days ago

UPnP-IGD version 1.0.0 has been released!

UPnP-IGD is a UPnP extension for Internet Gateway Devices that displays information about the device. UPnP-IGD is an example of the use of some UPnP APIs.

UPnP-IGD comes with the upnp_igd utility which outputs information like this:

Gateway at http://10.1.1.1/
Connected, up since 2008-06-29 03:31:00 (66123 seconds)
Connection type: IP_Routed
384 Kb/s up, 1536 Kb/s down
External IP address: 10.255.255.254

Port mappings:
0 UDP *:4502  -> 10.1.1.2:4500  "iC4502"
1 UDP *:5355  -> 10.1.1.2:5353  "iC5355"
2 UDP *:58712 -> 10.1.1.3:58712 "Skype UDP at 10.1.1.3:58712 (546)"
3 TCP *:58712 -> 10.1.1.3:58712 "Skype TCP at 10.1.1.3:58712 (546)"
4 UDP *:5353  -> 10.1.1.4:5353  "iC5353"

Unfortunately, UPnP-IGD does not allow anything to be set on the device, and has only been tested against miniupnpd.
