Transgaming doesn't use the current tree, though. They started out way before Wine was changed to LGPL and when the change happened, forked Wine to Rewind to avoid the LGPL. Since then they've been using the Rewind sources.

I'm against what Transgaming is doing, but they are on sound legal footing open-source-wise, I think.

When you use asterisk on a server, you can communicate with it via either hardware IP-phones, or a variety of softphones using either H323, SIP, or IAX (asterisk's own protocol).

For IAX, see iaxclient and some of the phones made from it. There are iaxclient-based soft-phones for all three platforms mentioned.

Now if you added collaborative filtering (see Amphetarate) we would have something infinitely cool. A TV viewer/recorder/broadcast station that "tivo-recommends" shows you'd want to see. Whoa.

Are there any reliable estimates of when gaim-vv will be added to the main branch of gaim?

Torrents do not work well with small files (like html, jpeg etc) The overhead is too large. Moreover as a user down below in the thread pointed out, many people on the internet are behind firewall nat etc.

My project p2pbridge based on JXTA is supposed to overcome all these hurdles. If anyone is interested in working on it. Please do contribute.

How long until this runs on linux?

Black and white image is likely because the TV standard is not set properly (PAL in Europe, NTSC in North America).

But yes, I agree.. video capture blows under Windows. It is even possible under Windows NT/2K/XP to fuck things up badly enough that you have to restart to get it to capture again.

If it takes that long to shoot an entire cylinder, what prevents stuff from appearing twice in the picture, if it's quick enough? I mean, you could stand in front of the camera until it's got enough of you in the picture, and then run to the opposite spot so it scans you again, or some weird maneuver like that.

Nothing stops stuff appearing twice. It's that simple - the camera starts rotating and adds each slice to the current picture. You can then do all sorts of weird pictures in crowds or any scenario where there is a lot of movement.

I do wonder whether the CCD is 70 Mpixels or just the final image (and I haven't read the specs). I suspect the latter, as all you need is a CCD with, say, 4000 sensors mounted in an vertical array and the moving slit/lens combo allows you to read out the array every 7.5ms or so giving you 16000 horizontal pixels for the two minute scan. That's closer to the way existing film-based 360' panorama cameras work - just expose a long strip of film progressively as the camera rotates.

Still extremely cool.

For those of you who want to muck around with panoramic photos and you don't own a 360' camera like this, you should take a look at the various panorama tools available. I particularly like Hugin although I also use autopano-sift to do some of the setup.

I use hnb. Actually it is so called "outline processor", but it has TODO-functionality, too. It is included in Debian GNU/Linux.

• flexible hierarchical organization. In fact, I end up using it as a general purpose outlining tool as well (are there even any good ones under Linux, outside of a word processor?)
• manual sorting (I really hate trying to sort by meaningless arbitrary "priority" numbers like in just about every other PIM sw)
• several simple forms of progress & completion reporting

HandyShopper is another good one for tracking non-hierarchical things that have costs and quantities associated with them. It does nice things like let you tally up totals, as well as maybe schedule recurring need-to-do/buy items. It's bizarre that it doesn't really have a desktop equivalent yet :/

For the Linux desktop, you might want to take a look at MrProject, a nice Project clone that's part of GnomeOffice. I've only played with it a little bit under Mandrake, but it looks fairly competent when you want to add hierarchical schedule and resource loading data to your task list. Sadly, there's little else that I've seen that comes anywhere close, and I've been searching for one fairly recently for a project management class I took last semester. Oddly enough, I don't even like MS Project for doing this kind of thing, it just doesn't give me enough flexibility in rearranging things, scheduling parallel activities, automatically sequencing constrained resources, etc.

I wanted to have something similar, but one of my prioirities was global accessibility. I tried notebooks, daytimers, postits, etc, but invariably it would always be at home when I was at work, or vice versa, or left behind when I travel.

So my first step was an online note tool called NoteToSelf that I use to keep all those interesting articles, recommendations for movies, homework assignments, job descriptions, consumer ratings, etc. I wrote it in PHP and love it. It's pretty primative as I haven't put any extra work into it since I got it functional. But it's great for me and I use it throughout the day.

My next step is the to-do list. As an interim, I just use a note in NoteToSelf to keep the tasks, but really want something with priorities and reminders. So I've looked at various ones, and I think I'm going to integrate Horde's Kronolith for calendaring and Nag for task lists. They're all PHP and MySQL so I can integrate or tweak as much as I feel like.. With those 3 things I think I have most of my "PIM" needs met and accessible from any internet-connected device around. I've been mulling over a PDA, but only to act as an offline copy of those 3 apps, and not for their own native PDA apps.

Vigor? Word 5.1 had Clippy already? That's impressive! (Screenshot / Home page)

I saw a copy of [Nievy Ynivtar]'s new album "[Haqre Zl Fxva]" with a big copy-protection warning splattered all over it in H.M.V. a couple of weeks ago, and I just had to buy it for the "hacking challenge" factor.

Cdparanoia read the audio without a hitch -- all spaces, not even so much as a single minus sign, and cdrdao made a .toc and .dat pair that burned OK.

I still felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment ..... this was not so much shooting fish in a barrel, as standing by a barrel of fish and waiting for them to jump out.

Of course I made sure to check I could get a refund "if it wouldn't play on my DVD recorder". The warning said it might not work in anything other than a home audio CD player ..... though actually, my DVD recorder is built only to recognise the first session on a multisession CD {to paraphrase the manual: if you want to make an MP3 CD to play on this machine, you must burn all the songs to the disc in one go, otherwise it will only see whatever you recorded up to the point where you first ejected the disc} which sounds like they were anticipating some sort of copy-prevention attempts involving a bogus second session. And the machine even has a digital audio-out which I haven't investigated; I think it's electrical rather than optical. Anyone know of a good sound card with digital-in and full Linux support including open source drivers?

Peep Network Auralizer, iam sitting by a waterfall myself, those pesky flies crop up now and again but the toad deals with them ;)

its a little old as it works, now if i can find a version for windows users they might understand the amount of network traffic from worms etc that their cable modem sees

Linux isn't really that much easier to download than Windows, if you Look in the right places :)

I've written a webmail client that does threading, as well as thread arcing. Check it out.

> the audience for this will be
> much smaller than that for kernel traffic

I think that's mostly true... but I also think that there are plenty of folks interested in compiler-ish development notes.

For example, I work on the open source utility PMD, which does static analysis of Java code. So there are all sorts of things it can check for - dead code, algebraic simplifications, unused assignments, and so on. It's almost like working on the front end of a compiler - i.e., parsing, tokenizing, symbol table - without having to do the code generation backend. Looking at the current GCC news issue, there's at least one thing there that seems useful to me - the improvements to the constant propagation techniques.

So, anyhow, I agree that there will be a smaller audience - but perhaps the people reading it will be from diverse backgrounds and very focused on the topics that arise.

Use your cell phone if it has bluetooth.. Sony Ericsson T610/T630 works great. FMA is nice if using Windows. In Linux there are a few programs that let you control your mouse with the arrows on the cell phone. If any of those don't suit you it's very easy to cook up your own software!

Legend of the Green Dragon - Free clone of Legend of the Red Dragon. It's almost at the 1.0 release. I played a slightly older release of it a few months back, and I can attest that it's quite addictive. It's also quite customizable with regards to setting (characters, enemies, places, etc.) and skins.

I was an early TiVo owner. I paid for Cable. I upgraded my TiVo's HD, and got DirectTV... Then I got a DirectTiVo...
But one day, I realized that I was paying too much for the limited number of shows on TV I watching... so I stopped paying at all, because the net is a good source of all media now.

Now, I download my favorite TV shows from the net. Within hours of the Simpsons airing on 'free tv', I can download a DivX of it, watching it on my MythTV box, which outputs to my 60 inch TV, with no commercials either. Looks as good as Cable or DirectTV ever did. HBO shows like the Sopranos? CBS/ABC/Fox/NBC? The same thing. Pretty much all of the 'good' tv programs, I can download right away, thanks to Bittorrent.

Mixing Mythtv, RSS and Bitorrent is the killer app for media. It's coming soon... I'll just subscribe to shows, and they will just appear on my box... And every other Myth-style Box out there will help spread them. Even better than Tivo, since I can trust someone to manage an good RSS feed and I'll get everything they think I'd like... Or I'll pick 2 feeds, or 3 feeds, or a dozen... Or run one of my own for friends, etc etc.

We are already seeing things like this:
Michael Badnarik (the 2004 Libertarian Presidential Candidate) using Bittorrent: He's put his entire Constitution Class on downloadable video, for free over the Internet, using BitTorrent. 7 parts, each one hour long.
What would buying Primetime TV for this sort of exposure cost? And who would watch it, all 7 hours, if they did? But this way, grassroot politics, simply by bypassing traditional media! Watch on demand... Educate people... Expose people to ideas they aren't getting on Mass Media.
I want to see this man in a debate with Bush and Kerry now...

Aside from the fact that MSN Messenger is a POS right now compared to AIM (they only just got buddy icons, fer christs sake)

I wouldn't know, since for the past 18 months I've been using Gaim 10% of the time and Bitlbee the other 90%. Though somehow I think it's safe to say that, if AIM started charging, people would be all to willing to kiss their buddy icons goodbye

First, they did not "remove" the browser mode. True, the option to disable spatial mode by default is "hidden" within the "GNOME Registry" (-_-), but the option is still there. And I'm sure if you weren't just looking for a reason to bash GNOME and really WANT to use GNOME, you would have heard of gTweakUI already. Or know that they've already "announced" that they will include an option in the GUI for later releases.

Second, why are the GNOME devs "arrogant" because they wanted to try something different? I think it's quite the opposite of arrogance that they didn't totally rip out browser Nautilus, even though browser and spatial are almost at opposite ends of the spectrum.

And what does Microsoft have to do anything? If you don't want browser mode, tough nuts. Atleast I've never run across anything that resembles spatial mode in 2k/XP.

Where is big searchable repository of java beans I can download and deploy in under a minute?

I wouldn't be surprised if Java has the largest base of reusable code compared to any other language, and it's only been around for 10 years or so.

Two languages missing are: Io [...], REXX [...], ficl [...].

You have provided great examples. I would add another two: Unlambda, bf and maybe also Ook. Furthermore, let us not forget about Assembly. Seriously, I strongly believe that if kids today had learned those languages and tried to understand how computers really work, we will have much less Flash/JavaScript/PHP/MySQL "elite" (or "leet," if you will) websites shamefully vulnerable to trivial cross-site scripting and SQL-injection exploits. The problem is that script kiddies today don't want to learn anything, be it REXX, Unlambda, IMCC, Perl 6 or even valid ANSI C for God's sake. We have to do something about it. I agree with you.

Last I looked at it, Io wasn't quite ready for the prime time. It looks like it has moved forward some since then, but in the way of being useful, libraries and the like, it still lags behind a lot of the medium- and big-languages.

Beyond Io, what would be the scripting language with a primarily prototype-based OOP system with the most usage and libraries? I know of a handful of similar languages, but not sure which one would make the most sense from the standpoint most potential scripters are coming from.

My favorite is Dialect. It is OSS/FS, but AFAIK, still only on Windows and WinCE. I use it mostly on WinCE, and it is great to use there. Completely source portable between desktop Windows OSes and PocketPC/WinCE. Compiles to an EXE, with everything you need in one file. Unlike some proto-OOP languages, you don't just have prototypes- you have both the structure of a class-based system and the flexibility and power of prototypes, cloning, changing/adding methods or data members on individual objects, etc etc.

Dialect kind of bills itself as a BASIC-like RAD language, but *do not* be scared away by that. It is a lot more like Python than Dialect in its syntax, and I like it a lot more than Python and especially VB myself. It has some really neet functions- one that comes to mind is like tie() in Perl, but even more powerful!- and is incredibly useful. Best way for writing GUI apps on WinCE hands down, and you can write, test, compile, run and deploy as EXE *everything* on the device itself, no need to use a desktop to write your app.

A shame no one has ported it to Linux, etc yet- the source is there. Having spoken with the devs some, it sounds like the Win32 GUI, ADO/ActiveX and other stuff will be bound to Windows, but the rest shouldn't be too hard to port. Would make a great VB-like language for Linux, though now with RealBasic, we finally have that.

Another language that is *really* overlooked is REBOL. It is often overlooked by the OSS community because it is closed source. A darn shame if you ask me, but as a pragmatic programmer (not one driven solely by ideology) I use REBOL and enjoy doing so. At first, it looked kind of gimmicky, a "network" scripting language. But after using it more, I am sometimes caught singing its praises. It is very poweful but the built-in libraries provide a lot of baseline power to programmers and even users. You can write web apps, text console apps or GUI apps- using its own cross-platform GUI toolkit. I have written apps on Mac OS 9 to distribute them to Linux, Windows and OS X and elsewhere to have them run perfectly. I think it is supported on 40-some platforms, though the GUI component- REBOL/View is on fewer, and still lacking on important platforms like WinCE/PPC and Mac OS X.

REBOL rules- it is a lot like Scheme/Lisp, but without parens- in other words, a great language. It has really nice network protocol support, writing an email client can take a handful of lines of script.

But... there is hope! A pretty new and slow going project, R-sharp (but nothing to do with .NET!) was released some time back, the start of an OSS REBOL implementation.

My friend Salvatore and I did a similar site, although we haven't added so many languages and tests, and are more focused on benchmarking. It's available at: scutigena.sf.net

Two languages missing are:

Io, which is an awesome, prototype-based scripting language that's super-easy to embed in C applications, and has an incredibly simple and consistent syntax.

REXX (Regina's just one implementation). REXX makes it incredibly easy to do system scripting, with powerful string-manipulation and I/O redirection.

Another one's ficl, which is basically an embedable Forth interpreter. (To all you young geeks out there - LEARN FORTH. You may never need to write a line of it ever in your life, but you'll learn a hell of a lot about how computers work. Trust me on this.)

While I can think of a number of other reasons not to buy an iPod, it can run Linux.

I was lately pondering the possibility of making my own ghost image of a default install and then creating a boot disk which would restore the system to the initially installed state. I looked at the size of the 2.6.6 kernel as it sat on my HD and wondered,"How will I ever put that and anything useful on a floppy?"

The Linux operating system has, for the longest time, appealed to me because it was slim, light, lean, and efficient. It is not just the window managers which are getting larger, though. The kernel is becoming positively huge. Applications such as Mozilla are happily following the path of their Windows counterparts. It seems that as Linux picks up public awareness the developers are heeding to the pressure to create a more featureful system in order to appeal to the public.

What public are they appealing to? The Linux world no longer seems to be targeting the computer gurus. The Linux world is increasingly developing to appeal to people who have difficulty remembering commands. The applications are catering to users who are illiterate in the sense that the only functional interface that they can use with any reliability is a point-and-click interface with a minimum of keyboard interaction.

Consider print managers. Three years ago, to install a print manager, I had to wade through configuration files and driver definition files. Then print managers evolved to give lists of printers to choose from. Now print managers go out of their way to present only one or two choices when identifying the printer. The number of acceptable screen options is directly proportional to the literacy of the user. Incidentally, lprng, cups, foomatic, etc. do not work with my old BJC-4200. Standard lpr with magicfilter is still my way to go. This may become obsolete, however, since the Canon BC-20 black block ink cartridge is increasingly hard to find.

Perhaps it's time to define how bleeding edge we need to be. I may be perfectly content to run a 2.4.26 kernel for the next ten years since many of my hardware accessories and drivers are experiencing trouble with the new 2.6 kernel series. Maybe Glib/Gdk/Gtk 2.4 will be the latest I ever go. I only use the libraries anyways. To keep my system light I build an LFS and use UDE.

Maybe Tanenbaum is right about microkernels being the only true solution--but it's tough to find a Radeon 7500 vid card driver for a microkernel based system to play DVDs.

Maybe I'll start to seriously look at those BSD CDs on my desk...

Think Gnome or KDE are too slow and heavy? Then go with Blackbox instead.

But we have choice, whereas Windows users do not necessarily have the means to lower their memory footprint.

I personally prefer XFCE, a friend of mine swears by Blackbox. Minimalistic, sure.. But you can't reasonably expecet to optimize both effects and memory footprint/CPU usage.

If you want the eyecandy, get a machine that can handle eyecandy style graphics. But rest assured that you will always have the choice to run on a leaner machine. Not necessarily the same environment, I consider that unrealistic, but you will run Linux.. and for an added bonus, you can even run KDE and Gtk apps on those "minimal" desktops.

Of course, if someone went into this massive optimization and profiling splurge on a major desktop, I can't say it would hurt the performance any... but on the rare occasions that I run KDE, I think it's reasonably fast for my machine, so I don't worry.

Absolutly! I see it as my personal goal in any job is to automate myself out of it, then move onto a new/bigger/different environment. I havn't succeeded yet, but I have simplified and stabalized things so a lesser skilled admin could take over and learn some of the deep magics without having to fight fires constantly.

With a nice cocktail of cfengine2, kerberos, ldap, LDAP Account Manager, and sudo I'm getting closer to replacing myself on the server side. Damn Windows boxes won't play along though.

...because I just don't like it. I find its interface more complex to use for a power user. For example, I find the K Menu much more straightforward than the Start Menu because it's all organized into submenus, not just a big long scrolling list of unorganized programs in the Programs menu.

Another thing I like about KDE/Gnome are their User Interface guidelines. Any program worth its salt follows these uniform guidelines and it makes applications much more straightforward to get the hang of. Even different apps that Microsoft releases look entirely un-uniform together (for example, MSN Messenger, Windows Media Player, and even Microsoft Office (to an extent) feel different than the rest of Windows.

I think KDE is also much nicer looking. I can get a variety of themes and styles and customize them in ways you just can't in Windows (at least not easily).

I also like that I can use one media player for all my media files. And it matches with the rest of KDE (fyi, I use Kaffeine, a Xine frontend). Plus music piped through ALSA sounds much nicer than what sound on Windows did.

I also like the flexibility of being able to build most Linux apps from source. I like being able to use the command line for things that seem to use complex GUIs on windows. And I like having a tabbed Konsole. Tabs make your taskbar so much cleaner.

Overall, I keep off Windows because it just doesn't fit my wants. I've grown comfortable with the Linux way of things, and I'd like to stick with them.

Last October I made the switch from Windows to Linux (SuSE 9.0) and
haven't looked back. I was a long time Windows user and programmer
(going all the way back to 3.0---just remember how great it was when
3.11 came out!), but I'd grown tired of the bulk and cost of Windows.
When Microsoft finally stabilized Windows with XP it was too little,
too late.

What keeps me going back to Windows is simply that I don't need to.
Here I sit with

0. A Unix command-shell that let's me do real work
1. A perfectly nice GUI (I'm using GNOME)
2. A stable web browser and email program (Firefox and Thunderbird)
3. A good personal finance application (gnucash)
4. Instant messaging (GAIM)
5. Outlook compatibility (Evolution)
6. A stable operating system that doesn't hide things from me
7. Speed, such speed, compared to XP.
8. No viruses, worms, and other crap targetting Windows
9. Graphics editing (The GIMP)
10. Multimedia (mplayer, XINE, etc.)
11. Complete office suite (OpenOffice.org)
12. Built in firewall (iptables)
13. A really cool spam filter/email sorter :-)

Why would I go back?

0. Windows costs $$$ to buy and they've got this evil registration scheme
1. It seems like every week some worm or other would be able to take out my machine
2. No freakin' idea what all these services and things are doing
3. A web browser and other components integrated into the system like some sort of cancer.

and bottom line

5. Microsoft's software just isn't cool. It's like some pale imitation of cool software with just the minimum set of features to make the average Joe go "cool" while drooling into his beer.

John.

1. Get xplanet!
2. Setup instructions (despite BSD-related site, pretty useful even on win32!)
3. ???
4. NICE DESKTOP!

All the ISPs are going to start filtering outbound port 25. If you want to run your own mail server you'll have to route it through their mail server, or use non-standard port number to route thru a 3rd party mail server.

My current ISPs (work and home) already do this. I still, however use my own mail services, by: SMTPS (authenticated, and port is not blocked), VPN or SSH tunnel. I realize, however, that 2 of those three are WAY above the heads of most end users.

Unfortunately, these don't SOLVE the problem, because as someone else said, if these viruses/worms/whatever-we're-calling-them-this-wee k can read address book info, the probably can also read SMTP settings, and I want to send mail (-:
