I've suggested an option that would let users filter, but it seems to have been ignored.

We were hoping to get the bumblebee for this competition, but the team in all its wisdom decided that the order of buying things is sensors->more sensors->less expensive sensors->gps->sensors->cameras->COMPUTERS! If you guys want, I do have a slightly old version of the OSU WAVE team's AI. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkrpathplanner/ -James

Luckily, most of Augmented/Mixed reality packages used by researcher is OSS.They are pretty easy to use for any hobbist with web-camera and C++ expirience. Some can be esily ported to Pocket PC.
Most used are :
ARToolkit
MXR Toolkit

Hey there guy!

People who like them selves use Bittorrent for this kind of thing.

Bittorrent is very robust. It check the integrity of the data as part of its normal operation. The data is exchanged, piece by piece, between the clients. It's far superior to resumed downloads.

This is a nice Java based client I like to use.

Fink Commander is a pretty decent GUI frontend for Fink.

I call bullshit.

The Windows "emulation" in OS/2 was never good, and you'd recognize this if you'd ever spent any time dealing with it.

Truetype? DirectX?

(Oh, yes. I realize that Truetype formally existed in Warp 4, but by then, nobody cared anymore...)

OS/2 died because it was ugly. Windows had themes and expansions and (what many consider) fun. OS/2 was a drab shade of aqua marine with corporate grey highlights.

OS/2 died because it was hard to use (unless you call needing to install SIO into your config.sys in order to reliably get online easy, assuming you were able to stick with it even long enough to learn that much).

OS/2 died because it had horrible support for what ended up being the PC's true Killer Applications: Stealing music, watching porn, looking for someone to fuck, and playing stupid Shockwave games.

OS/2 didn't die because it happened to have Windows emulation: It died because the numbers were never big enough for large software developers to give a shit.

And when an incremental upgrade to Win32s froze OS/2's ability to handle 32-bit Windows programs, what happened? The authors requiring this newer Win32s didn't care that their software no longer ran under OS/2 -- even when prompted. They just carried on, selling record numbers of units for Windows-using world.

OS/2's Windows support didn't hamper OS/2 any more than Cygwin or UMLWIN32hampers Windows XP.

Why would it be any different for OS X?

Take a look

Hmm.. "Mr. Your rights online" Hemos is a wonderful censor and deleter of content, isnt he?

I guess depleting a 'business venture' of some big company is more worth saving than a free software developer. Well, either that, or MMC3 scsi commands are now considered "propertiary secrets".

Which is it Hemos?

I've recently implemented a small (6 node) openmosix cluster.
I'll have to try this out on it.

SCons tries to improve over Autoconf/Automake, and it's easier

maybe PearPC has become much more useful? It wouldn't have to carry the burden of emulating a PowerPC on intel anymore- but I believe they've taken care of emulating Open Firmware. Unless Apple uses this mystery DRM scheme that Intel has supposedly stuffed into its latest Pentium variants, I'm pretty sure people will be installing the leaked OS X 10.4.1 for Intel on non-Apple branded PCs shortly after it ships to developers in two weeks...

Maybe not so bad by BSD standards, but we need something that someone unfamiliar with the command line can use. Given we don't even have a gui frontend for Fink yet as far as I'm aware the chances someone will do so for Cedega in any reasonable amount of time doesn't seem great.

I'm not sure it makes much of a difference, but there is a GUI frontend for Fink called FinkCommander. It's all right.

I'm sort of doing what you're talking about with the exception of not using MythTV for playback yet since I've not found a DVI flatpanel that I like and can afford yet. *shrug*

I've got DVD Shrink installed on all my Windows machines so that when I get a new batch of discs in, I can rip them in parallel. I also strip off CSS and Macrovision at that time so that the resulting set of files on the media server is unencumbered. For playback, I use Media Player Classic (again in Windows) to display the shows although I've verified that vlc and mplayer will also play them. I used to be able to use Apple's DVD player software on a mini, but after upgrading to Tiger and getting the latest version of the DVD player software, it won't let me play off the fileserver anymore (damn the MPAA).

Be ready to shell out some serious bucks for storage space as not doing transcoding/trimming puts some serious hurt on a pile of drives. I've ripped just shy of 300 discs (297 to be exact) and have eaten 1.6 TB out of my 1.8 TB array.

My dream is to be able to just pop the disc into a machine and have it rip the contents, decrypt and drop Macrovision and then spit the disc back out but I've not figured out a nice way to do that yet. I also want to add more storage but I've maxed out the current case and cases with lots of drive bays are quite spendy.

Yeah, but...

Storing your documents in the email system means you can access them from anywhere and any machine. I store three of my most important documents in encrypted form in email. This also provides a simple offsite backup method that also helps protect against loss and outages.

(and the encryption program I use and highly recommend is this one...

Unfortunately, this will probably mean OpenLDAP will fade into insignificance, but I may be wrong !

Why? KDE vs gnome? freebsd vs linux? It's not going to dissapear...

Same happened to QT vs Harmony if anyone remembers (Harmony died when QT went for GPL if I remember)...

While multiheading has its perks (I currently run 4800x1200 on my main workstation), seamless desktopping is also fun. Run one mouse pointer across a multi-head desktop made from the displays of Linux, Windows and MacOS boxes with Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) or some such freeware, and there's all kinds of interesting efficiencies to discover.

I've had the basic idea used for this for a while, but it's not really a few-person project (especially without graphics programmers). Anyone want to help?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/moo3d/ for the engine
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tasogare/ for the core/environment

It wouldn't necessarily need to be free of charge, either-- something like this can easily fund itself similar to Second Life does, charging for services (virtual land, etc hosted on the server)

Xdmx allows you to use a spare computer as a secondary display. It even works with Xinerama. And it's even included in the latest releases of x.org, meaning that you likely already have it installed.

This is great for those of us who have laptops, but don't want to spring for a second monitor and video card.

I recently set up my Thinkpad to be a secondary display. It works well, though the video doesn't seem quite as snappy, and it's a little difficult to set up.

Web page for Xdmx:
http://dmx.sourceforge.net/

first off, there's intel's open computer vision library (check http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/) . you'll find a large chunk of the building blocks you'd want to build your own algorithms there (edge detection, line extraction, math primitives, etc.).

secondly: yes, there are ways to improve the performance of these algorithms. in general, the higher the resolution, the better (assuming you have the time to do the processing). if i recall correctly, most medical images use 16 bit gray scale at really high resolutions. in general, higher resolution at greater bit depths will help quite a bit -- it's all about signal to noise ratios.

hope this helps

Yeah, and you can use OSX on a PC, too!

Well, you can ... doesn't run very well, mind you! (But then, it doesn't run so well on PowerPC architecture, either ... ;-)

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Gtk+ WebCore browser! (insert cheers)

Here's a port of WebCore back to *nix APIs (obviously not QT/KDE-based however):

This is the easiest part. Just follow their current practice of using open source software and adding their own touches to it. For instance take part in the open source pearpc project. In fact if they had considered a switch, more than likely their already on this and probably would announce it at the same time as the switch announcement.

When computers respond correctly to human language, then the "caveman interface" will no longer be needed.

Any interface that sucks for everybody who doesn't spend years learning it... just plain sucks.

Is there something that will come along and be better than the GUI? Damn, I sure hope so. Was it a big step forward? Hell, yeah.

Over the years many projects will end up having no activity.

Sourceforge, while having many issues, does make it easy to see which projects that has activity.
See this link for activity ranking: http://sourceforge.net/top/mostactive.php?type=wee k

There is also a system to advertise for programmers. http://sourceforge.net/people/

I'd say that the grand parent is, however fun and however nice the thought is, is misdirected energy.

Help make SourceForge better instead.

You say that you are unsure how to get involved with an open source project. Have you tried the obvious of contacting one of the developers in a project that you find appealing?

Have you tried DOSBox?

I have a Sony Ericsson phone, and use FMA (http://fma.sourceforge.net/). Microsoft has also made a free program for Windows XP (One of the Powertoys, IIRC), that should work with any bluetooth phone and computer. My computer doesn't have bluetooth capability, so I haven't tried it.
