About two years ago I built a VM with Windows 3.11 to try and see if I could use it productively at my place of work. Software that would run on 3.11 was insanely difficult to find, but I did get IE 5.5 and some version of Netscape running. IE actually displayed Wikipedia more or less normally, but couldn't test much because I could only view one or two pages before it crashed. Netscape was more stable but didn't appear to support any CSS so while I was able to view web pages they didn't look anywhere near what they were designed to. And then it crashed too.

Ultimately my quest failed due to lack of an SSH client and extreme instability. Apparently my brain had blocked out how terrible Windows was before XP.

SSHDDOS should work, but it needs a packet driver loaded. Otherwise, try these:

Wow, lots more commenters than moderators on this thread. I'll add my voice to the din. Sound quality articles catch my interest, from coat hangers to codecs, but I haven't paid much attention to this particular topic. Here's a short list of 24-bit FAQs for end users.

Existing sites like HDtracks.com, linnrecords.com, naimlabel.com, and Society of Sound offer 24-bit files with sample rates ranging from 44.1 KHz to 192 KHz, with 96 KHz being the most popular. Popular formats (in decreasing order of popularity) include FLAC, Apple lossless (ALAC), and WMA lossless.

FLAC seems to have more diverse support, but ALAC has arguably broader support, including iTunes and iPods. WMA appears to compress better than FLAC, which appears to compress better than ALAC. (FLAC's compression levels don't seem to change the ratio much, except at the lowest/fastest levels.) FLAC seems to have the fastest decoder, but ALAC has the handy property that you can simply discard the eight low-order bits (as iPods apparently do). [Sources: Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase, hvdh at inter.nl.net, and FLAC comparison.]

I also came across some discussion of high-definition compatible digital (HDCD), a patented mastering fad from the late 90s that encodes about twenty bits on a CD, subsequently bought and buried by Microsoft. Apparently there are only two models of machines in the world that can encode HDCD, and they're both discontinued, with replacement parts in jeopardy as well.

Scrounging through CDs in the attic, I found some HDCD CDs from Capitol, High Street (Windham Hill), Red House, Sony, and Warner Bros. Goodwin's High End has an extensive list. As a quick test, I ripped Deana Carter's "Strawberry Wine" to a 16-bit WAV (51.4 MB) with XLD, converted to a 24-bit WAV (77.1 MB) with hdcd.exe (Windows only, but seems to work in WINE), then converted to 24-bit ALAC (56.4 MB) with XLD. I don't have the time or gear for an ABX test right now. The HDCD conversion is noticably quieter, for what it's worth.

Another quick way to try this at home is to torrent the 24/96 FLACs of the The Slip from nin.com (email registration required).

Like yourself off topic here the whole time?

Thor COULDN'T respond... when I used the example of Spybot "Search & Destroy" altering a HOSTS file (albeit for the GOOD of others), & yet, he doesn't list it as a malware? It showed how much Thor SCHMUCK knew (zero).

I asked him also why PING is not listed... it can issue a PING OF DEATH (or could on various distros/OS over time)... funny he shut up there too, eh??

Numpy seems to support Python3

Just check Wikipedia, with a link to http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.5.0/NOTES.txt/download

You can also find the announcement from last July : http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2010-July/051436.html

I extensively use Numpy at work, and that was the primary reason Python 3 was useless to me. However, I should mention that as of Numpy 1.5 release some months ago, Python 3 is now supported. The FAQ page on the Numpy website just hasn't been updated properly.

And Scipy 0.9.0 *does* support Python 3.1. It's currently at release candidate 5, i.e. within a few weeks of an official release. See the release notes from yesterday.

PyLab, I'm not certain about. Matplotlib has an initial port but I think it's not really working yet.

I think now that Numpy and Scipy are running on Python 3.x you'll see a lot more interest in people running it who do real stuff with Python.

Interesting, you said Lunix... http://lng.sourceforge.net/ instead of Linux http://www.linux.com/

And, so far, apart from "it's real Linux" (which is a major feature for geeks only), I don't see what sets MeeGo apart from existing solutions. Especially from Android.

What sets it apart is that you can reuse existing libraries. Yes, the UI must be different, but I have to write only one core, and then some different graphical shells. If you ever programmed more than a simple app, then you know much complexity is outside of the UI code.

Eg, I have an OSS app. I would love to make a Meego version, and I can, but I don't have the time to reimplement everything in some form of java. Eg: http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/src/guiQML/grampsqml.py?view=log

Central, 2 factor authentication. Keyword OpenID

Google has it.
    OpenID endpoint : https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
    2 factor : http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/advanced-sign-in-security-for-your.html

myOpenID has it : https://www.myopenid.com/about_callverifid/

Verisign has it : http://systembash.com/content/using-the-paypal-verisign-security-key-with-openid-for-two-factor-authentication/

WiKID provides software to set up your own 2 factor OpenID : http://wikid.com/

It's also not that hard to make your own OpenID server (LOTS of good libs around for most languages), and there are already various open apps for 2 factor auth for f.ex phones (like http://motp.sourceforge.net/ )

And, even without 2 factor auth, OpenID is still generally more secure than passwords. Stealing the DB on a random website that use openid for auth, or even having root, won't give the attacker much to work with. No passwords. No info that allow him to use the openid account on other web sites.

So, start looking closer at OpenID today :)

Does audiogalaxy have clients for multiple platforms, a multi-platform server, an awesome web interface, and a GPL behind it?

I can't tell. All I see on audiogalaxy.com is a thing that says "Sign up! It's FREE!"

With subsonic, I don't have to sign up anywhere; I don't have to use subsonic's "services." I just toss the author a few bucks*, install the software, forward the requisite port on my router, and call it a day. Subsonic has its roots in an open-source web-based media player, dating to well before the day of the smartphone, whereas Audiogalaxy has its heritage rooted in a heavily-litigated P2P clusterfuck.

(*Note: Just because it's free software, doesn't mean that it's afraid of money.)

If Google provided an add-on for IE9 to support WebM as MS has done for MPEG-4 and other browsers, would that mean MS is providing support for WebM? Now that I think about it, Google is quite likely to do this, probably as part of its existing Google Toolbar. BTW, thanks for making the link easy to follow. From the linked blog article:

2. We will provide support for IE9 users who install third-party WebM video support on Windows and they will be able to play WebM video in IE9.

This means absolutely nothing. Of course IE9 should be able to play video objects in any format that DirectShow can. Any DirectShow program can currently play Ogg Theora and a wide variety of other formats if someone installs ffdshow on their Windows machine. That doesn't mean Microsoft supports Ogg Theora.

Also, you conveniently ignore the next line:

3. Many parties have raised legitimate questions about liability, risks, and support for WebM and the proponents of WebM should answer them.

This clearly means "We have no intention of supporting WebM."

Media serving (as the phone in your video is doing) is only one of DLNA's abilities (albeit the most common). UPnP AV allows separate Server, Renderer and Control components, and a Server can push to a remote Renderer just as easily (iMediaShare and others do this, as I said above). Or a Controller can instruct a remote Renderer to stream from a different remote Server, or any other combination.

Another example of DLNA pushing is Microsoft's "Play To" in Windows. I use this to push music from my laptop to my Yamaha amplifier, though it also works to my phone, my Xbox, XBMC, other PCs etc - much the same as your Apple TV, except it's built in to my amp (I can also tell my amp to pull from a PC etc; it works both ways). Other Android apps I'm aware of that do this are UPnPlay and Andromote.

Windows has a UPnP Framework component of its own, of course, but there are various other opensource cross-platform libraries for apps to use. Hardware and software support is far wider than AirPlay.

That said, as long as the telnet client is already installed, I see your point.

I wonder how much outcry there would be if these companies reset all the old user account passwords like sourceforge just did.

Hello,

We recently experienced a directed attack on SourceForge infrastructure
(http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-net-attack/) and so we are
resetting all passwords in the sf.net database -- just in case. We're
e-mailing all sf.net registered account holders to let you know about this
change to your account.

snip...

So, as a proactive measure we've invalidated your SourceForge.net account
password. To access the site again, you'll need to go through the email
recovery process and choose a shiny new password:

I've recently looked at Android API documentation, and it seems to be a rather clean and understandable design. I've dabbled a bit with the SDK and running my code on one of those cheap Augen Android-based tablets from Kmart, and going past "hello world" was quite painless. Then, for reasons I can't quite understand, I seem to puke a little bit every time I see Objective C code. It just looks so darn ugly. For whatever reason I just can't stand some of Apple's APIs. Never mind that they plainly don't document some -- you'd think -- pretty basic parts of their API, at least on the desktop. Case in point: just try to find out how to open up a raw socket on a selected network interface and you'll see what I mean. One shouldn't need to google for that. By "selected" network interface I mean you know the name like en0, but the interface has no IP or anything else.

And that comes from a guy who doesn't mind seeing legacy LISP code (like Maxima sources that I used to browse quite a bit), who doesn't mind various more- and less-pure functional languages (OCaml, Haskell) and functional "hacks" like LINQ, and who can wholeheartedly embrace "customizations" like xmos's XC parallellizable variant of C. I can even stand most of IEC 61131-3 languages. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Add me to the list. It is so heavy and slow, but losing working Shoucast station integration was the last straw for me. Before Amarok I was using Songbird, until that died, then I went to using Exaile under KDE. Excellent player. Clementine is supposed to be Amarok-lite (based on the KDE 3.5 version), but I now use Guayadeque which is snappy and has all the functionality I need.

Simple 3-way handshake and boom, datastream.

Actually, that isn't quite true.

After the TCP handshake, Telnet will negotiate options related to the session (see the command structure defined in RFC 854). These are done with high byte values (240 through 255) and control things like local echo. If the service you are talking to doesn't correctly ignore these sequences, then they can corrupt the data stream.

netcat is generally a better choice for connecting to generic services that use ASCII command sets.

You might have better success with even a semi-valid HTTP/1.1 request such as

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com

Also, using telnet here is redundant. You should consider using one of the several netcats available. Some even support nice features like SSL encryption, so you can make encrypted requests to to the https port (443).

But I am curious about about the machines that are responsible for a lot of attacks online. A year or so ago I noticed ssh brute force attempts in /var/log/secure and found a cool solution called denyhosts that parses log files, adjusts /etc/hosts.deny, and logs all activity. This got me thinking about a project... I would really like to create some NSE (nmap scripting engine) scripts, or something similar, to go through and scan the machines that show up in my log files as trying to weasel their way in via ssh or other common, filtered tools. It would be interesting to create some visual representations of services, geographical locations, and general makeup of the boxes that are attacking these services.

I had a similar problem. My twenty year old SNES cartridge just wouldn't work on my Wii no matter what I tried.

I've been managing Firefox through Active Directory for a couple of years now with FirefoxADM.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/firefoxadm/

It doesn't require a strange build of firefox. I manage proxy settings for the domain with the ADM templates and update Firefox on the clients with standard mozilla.com builds of Firefox. I don't know if it is OFFICIAL enough for you but it has proven effective here in letting Firefox work just as transparently as IE with AD and our proxies.

I dicked around (for hours) trying to get a home grown solution working and finally just gave up.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

Not just jokingly, either.
There has been groups trying to crack down on binaural beat stimulants. Mainly iDoser users.
While some of the supposed beats have no known research done on them, some have had years of research done on them, and they are capable of influencing or stimulating the brain, despite the large number of skeptics. (some who had even been given the chance to use it changing their mind afterwards)
But it isn't as simple as just playing some audio to people.

People mostly use these things, thinking that you just listen to it and it works, instantly, that is completely wrong. (some are so stupid as to listen to it with speakers then moan at it not working...)
There is a mental component to getting the beats working, without it, it plain won't work unless you are of the highly suggestive mind type. (easy to hypnotise for example)
Binaural beats are a focusing technique, just like a metronome, candle, ticker, flasher or whatever else people want to use.
But we do know that certain intense, low frequencies can induce illusions in the brain, such as the "corner of the eye" cases that very often happen when you sit at certain areas near fans, engines and the like.
Those sorts of sounds are much harder to recreate with your average headset and need actual full-on audio equipment with high aural ranges and intensities.

The use of light-influencing software is lesser, it seems. Doesn't have as big a following as aural, which is strange since visual is usually much more powerful at influencing mood, light (and absence through flickering) has been known to influence minds for well over a century, probably more without documentation.
Only problem though is visual entrainment can also lead to seizures, which is a pretty bad thing.
Some train stations in Japan changed their lighting scheme to bluer lighting to induce a calming feeling in people. (no follow up has been done yet as to the rates yet, it was only completed recently i believe. )

And one thing used against any form of entrainment is that it is merely the suggestive effects of doing it that results in it, the placebo effect, whatever you want to call it. See, thing is, it doesn't matter even if it is only placebo, it still works as intended.
As always though, a lot of entrainment is through finding your own rhythm, there are programs out there that let you make your own beats, some as easy as clicking, dragging and entering some numbers, some requiring some manual editing of sound file sequences in a text editor.
If anyone has any more interest in reading up on it, the Wikipedia articles on brain entrainment have a surprisingly large number of research studies linked to it.
Brainwave Entrainment
Binaural beats
AVE
Also, funnily enough, all these brain-computer interfaces that have become the rage recently are actually really useful for brainwave entrainment. More so the one developed by Emotiv Systems since it has a large number of inputs (almost comparable to an actual EEG), intended for more control rather than just being used as an auxiliary input method with 1 or 2 inputs.
Can't forget the OpenEEG Project on sourceforge.

If you don't like the userland, change it, don't whine about it. Last time I compiled the Linux kernel, it didn't include any command line tools either. I encourage you to download MSYS (super-lightweight Cygwin) from devkitpro, let the self extracting archive do it's thing, then add it's bin folder to your PATH environment variable... There's no easier way to get bash and friends on your Windows.

No, but if thats your only qualification, I might point you towards

http://code.google.com/p/arora/

or

http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/

over Firefox or Chrome. I personally don't like Firefox because of the bloat, and like the OP, I get a little wary of Google gaining full vertical control of my web browsing. First a search engine, then a Web Browser, next an OS, and they're starting their own ISP. Its a little scary.

Anyways, maybe check those guys out.

That's not true, & that comes from COMPUTER ASSOCIATES, & my story on how they were CAUGHT FOR ACCOUNTING FRAUD SCANDALS as well as libelling myself:

http://patapata.sourceforge.net/WhyEducationalTechnologyHasFailedSchools.html
"Ultimately, educational technology's greatest value is in supporting "learning on demand" based on interest or need which is at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to "learning just in case"
based on someone else's demand. Compulsory schools don't usually traffic in "learning on demand", for the most part leaving that kind of activity to libraries or museums or the home or business or the "real world". In order for compulsory schools to make use of the best of educational technology and what is has to offer, schools themselves must change. ... So, there is more to the story of technology than it failing in schools. Modern information and manufacturing technology itself is giving compulsory schools a failing grade. Compulsory schools do not pass in the information age. They are no longer needed. What remains is just to watch this all play out, and hopefully guide the collapse of compulsory schooling so that the fewest people get hurt in the process. ..."

Yes we know you're a big boy who knows how to turn off unneeded services." - by HungryHobo (1314109) on Wednesday January 12, @10:54AM (#34848956)

Please - DON'T try to play "smart" or "condescending" to me, you undereducated, & unaccomplished little "anonymous/handle/nick" using dolt...

You? Heh - You're NOTHING/NOBODY in this art & science, period... & I know it!

(So: Care to prove otherwise by showing me you've done more than I have that was well noted in this field (while you were probably STILL IN DIAPERS I wager))?

See my ps on that account below...

P.S.=> Show us you've done anything like this list below, & before I have:

(&, for work done for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com on PAID CONTRACT (writing portions of their SuperCache program increasing its performance by up to 40% via my work) albeit, for their SuperDisk & HOW TO APPLY IT, took them to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed, two years in a row 2000-2002, in its HARDEST CATEGORY: SQLServer Performance Enhancement).

WINDOWS MAGAZINE, 1997, "Top Freeware & Shareware of the Year" issue page 210, #1/first entry in fact (my work is there)

Also, a British PC Mag in 2002 for many utilities I wrote, saw it @ BORDERS BOOKS but didn't buy it... by that point, I had moved onto other areas in this field besides coding only...

Being paid for an article that made me money over @ PCPitstop in 2008 for writing up a guide that has people showing NO VIRUSES/SPYWARES & other screwups, via following its point, such as THRONKA sees here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ee926d913b81bf6d63c3c7372fd2a24c&t=28430&page=3

Lastly, lately (this year)?

It's also been myself helping out the folks at the UltraDefrag64 project (a 64-bit defragger for Windows), in showing them code for how to do Process Priority Control @ the GUI usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 level in their program (good one too), & being credited for it by their lead dev & his team... see here -> http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/handbook/Credits.html
