I've seen some cool, nifty data diagrams done on some blogs/articles and have been wondering what software they were using to render these diagrams, e.g. MS Visio? For example, what is used on this blog to create those colorful diagrams towards the middle of the article under "Definition Providers": http://www.thecodejunkie.com/2009/05/introduction-to-mef-programming-models.html?
I find these diagrams very appealing...
[EDIT - Addition]: I run across these diagrams all over the place, e.g. one of the bloggers I follow is Nikhil Kothari - http://www.nikhilk.net/Silverlight-Layout-Panels-1.aspx.
It's from Office 2007, for sure. They can be created in Word, Excel and Powerpoint 2007.
Office has a tutorial to create what they call a "SmartArt Graphic"
(source: java2s.com)
Here is a home made picture, from Word 2007 :)
Now with matching colors!
Those look pretty much like the diagrams you can generate with Word 2007 to me. Though it could have been some other software.
You should ask one of the authors to be sure having the right answer...
I'm gonna take a guess and say OmniGraffle for MacOS.

This post is to hopefully bring some joy to an awesome fella. He used to have a favourite T-shirt (pictured) which had 6 graphical functions on it. Eventually, the T-shirt fell apart about 10 years ago.
I wanted to surprise him for his birthday and replace the T-shirt as far as possible. As it isn't available to buy (or even anything similar) any more, I wanted to try and code up 6 such images, so I could combine them and get them printed onto a T-shirt instead.
I have been researching this for a while, and have found it difficult to identify the wave functions/sinosoidal surfaces, or how to code them (my main language is R).
So. This isn't for a work project or anything. I am just wondering whether there is a kind soul in the SO community who would either know what the images were, or could suggest how to code them up? Or if they knew what the images were and therefore could point me in the right direction/resources and I'll figure out how to code it up!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: as per the comments, in my attempts to make this dream a reality, I got as far as searching 3D wireframe wave functions in terms of identifying what the images were. But, most resources pointed at Python. As I am a mere biologist who is predominantly an R user (with some bash and awk), the Python aspect seemed pretty daunting. So I guess half the battle is trying to figure out (roughly) which specific wave forms the images are so I could search how to code them in R.

Edit the question to include desired behavior, a specific problem or error, and the shortest code necessary to reproduce the problem. This will help others answer the question.
This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers.

This is the question
Select three random companies, and issue the whois and traceroute (tracert in Windows) commands for each one. Tracert is available from a command prompt. To use whois, you will need to search for an online tool. Then write a short paragraph about each utility outlining the kinds of information available from each. Copy & Paste screen shots for each utility and each company to back up the reported findings.
Assuming i am a noob. I would be glad if someone would outline how to tackle this question for my homework assignment.
This is what I make of this question
Tracert
Read this article for information on trace routes
Company 1 - BBC
Run a tracert on bbc.co.uk
C:\>tracert bbc.co.uk
Using the information from the tracert documentation will help you document your findings. Then follow the same methodology for the next two companies.
Who is
There is a webisite Whois Lookup
Just put in bbc.co.uk or whatever.
The first paragraph here outlines the information you can get from it. Also looking up a domain will show you what information this will provide.
The information on the websites will help with:
Then write a short paragraph about each utility outlining the kinds of information available from each.
You will then need to take screenshots.
The question is very straight forward, add a sprinkling of common sense and you have yourself an answer.

I have done some searching around the Internet and SO looking for an introduction or analysis of what makes data.table so fast, but I've only found a lot of (very helpful) manuals, no breakdown of what goes into the programming. (I am more or less completely floored that I can't locate a published paper for data.table, not even something from JStatSoft.)
I've had an algorithms class so I know about sorts and linked lists and binary trees and such, but I don't want to make any amateur guesses (especially when I go to explain to academic people why it's a good idea to use it). Can anyone offer a short, topical summary with references? This question references a slide presentation which is cool, but the info comes in pieces (and even the documentation for, say, setkey() doesn't cite a data.table reference, but goes to Wikipedia).
What I am looking for is something that is both not the source code and not a list of Wikipedia topics, but an ideally "official", sourced answer (thus making it canonical, which could help a lot with all the questions orbiting around this topic).
(It would be great if there was a technical paper out there I could cite for this (the citation() for data.table is just the manual, but of course it's not directly relevant to the question as far as SO is concerned.)

Microsoft Project and Waterfall
Does using Microsoft Project force you into a waterfall model? Could anyone point me to examples of successful iterative (agile for example) projects that successfully use(d) MS Project as a supporting tool?
Consider other alternatives for providing management with the transparency into development work which they presumably want. It's not going to help you with the frequent replanning that's at the core of agile methods -- MS Project is more likely to prove a hindrance.
Instead, talk to them about using low-tech whiteboards to show progress on objectives through e.g. percentages of user stories completed, estimated and actual velocities and highlighted issues. But if they're pushing MS Project, they're going to need to be at least tentatively converted to iterative/agile methods. Google around... they may ask for figures to back your position: show them the numbers on agility rather than on MS Project.

I need a Qt widget that will allow me to display a map.
It needs to be able to:
Run without a network connection to a map or tile server. A simple bitmap would be fine.
Place widgets, lines and graphics on the map, given latitude and longitude.
Calculate distances between points.
Compile on Linux and Windows.
What would you suggest?
Thanks,
sqqqrly
I'd recommend taking a looking at Marble.
It's included with KDE-edu, but if I recall correctly, the Marble library does not have any dependencies beyond just Qt, it's also under the LGPL, and it's cross-platform. You should be able to place widgets and various other things on the surface.
Quantum GIS is the leader of the pack.
There is a map editor written for OpenStreetMap, which uses Qt.
http://www.merkaartor.org/
For map rendering they uses Webkit, I guess, but not really sure. Try to contact the author or read the source.
Hi every one QMapControl and ArcGIS could be a good try.
