BZFlag
Originally based on Atari's 1980 arcade game, Battle Zone capture Flag is an online multiplayer (and multiplatform) 3D tank game with chat. Although the game can vary widely from server to server, the basic idea is usually to shoot the tanks of another team's color. Modes such as "free for all," "capture the flag," and "hunt the rabbit" alter the objective of the game, and grab bag style flags help keep things interesting by providing a variety of power ups (good flags) and power downs (bad flags).

DoubleCommand
DoubleCommand is software for Mac OS X (a kernel extension) that lets you remap keys, in other words change the way your keyboard works. Often used to make a PC keyboard more comfortable with a Mac, swapping the Alt (Option) and Windows (Command or Apple) keys, since they are in swapped positions on Mac and PC keyboards. DoubleCommand is a quick and easy way to fix this if you use a PC keyboard with your Mac. Called DoubleCommand because originally it was used to give the old PowerBooks a second Command key, where there was an enter key.

tap
In computer networking, TUN and TAP are virtual network kernel drivers. They implement network devices that are supported entirely in software, which is different from ordinary network devices that are backed up by hardware network adapters.
TAP (as in network TAP) simulates an Ethernet device and it operates with Layer 2 packets such as Ethernet frames. TUN (as in network TUNnel) simulates a network layer device and it operates with Layer 3 packets such as IP packets. TAP is used to create a Network bridge, while TUN is used with Routing.
Packets sent by an operating system via a TUN/TAP device are delivered to a user-space program that attaches itself to the device. A user-space program may also pass packets into a TUN/TAP device. In this case TUN/TAP device delivers (or "injects") these packets to the operating system network stack thus emulating their reception from an external source.
