Since about two weeks I am using the image-spam repositories of MSRBL, and of Sanesecurity.
Using a cron script to fetch the data and keep Clama's database up-to-date works quite well!
Indeed, the SVM can be used to model a linear decision boundary (or, alternatively, do regression) in any feature space. The kernel has to comply to Mercer's theorem for most kernel machines, but not for all (e.g. not for the relevance vector machine).
Later addition? Nonlinear kernels were already used even before the SVM was called the SVM. See here. Perhaps you refer to all tutorials, which make it look like it was a later addition.
Actually, you can use some sort of rule: "the less complex explaination for you data is the right answer".
So, if the explaination for the data "The sequence is the largest number of separate enclosed areas it is possible to make by adding a single straight line to a circle" is compared to "previous times two", the latter is less complex and thus "better".

The developers of KDE have been
discussing the subject of UI enhancements lately. This discussion was caused by the jumpstart of a project (slicker)) which tries to radically change the UI, which so many people are used to.
In time, I guess you will see less and less feature copying and more and more innovation. And if something innovative is good enough for mainstream, will it be accepted?
I haven't seen this being suggested here yet, but R for statistical computing (link) (GNU 'S') is not only open-source, but also used a lot in several scientific fields, such as statistics and machine learning (books have accompanying source code in R). It has loads of packages which allows you to do all kinds of stuff.

perhaps it's time to even improve Google's search engine. On this this website there are some ideas on webselforganisation, it's quite interesting. Then, if a group of people link to each other, a search engine could point to the most distinctive groups.
I agree. From the 12 languages I know, Ruby is one of the cleanest and most powerful languages out there. I tried it, and somehow everything I code just works at once. It works exactly as you expect it to, which makes communicating with your computer a lot easier than with e.g. C++/Java. Try it, you won't be disappointed and learning a new language doesn't harm anyone.
Security wasn't really considered yet - the most important goal was to get the network in a stable state.
Chance table adjustment was done using the outcome of a formula with travel time as a parameter. Naturally the shorter the travel time, the more "chance" this route gets added
I'm not quite sure how broken cables were handled exactly. I think it was supposed to be managed by the routers itself.
success rate depends on travel time (or arrivel times at routers). I suppose a router could digitally sign a timestamp or something.
most script kiddies have two of those things sitting right on their nose!
I did some little research on this subject about two years ago. The goal of the project was complete autonomous network management. It has been a while ago, but IIRC the automatic routing adjustment worked like this:
a whole bunch of ants are randomly created at all routers in the network, with a mission to get to a random desitination
each router keeps a chance-table for each outgoing port for each destination (in the network), initially all outgoing ports have the same chance
ants start moving, pick an outgoing port randomly according to the chance table
ants remember their path and travelling time
if an ant reaches its destination, the trial it put down on its way over there affects the chance table in a positive way using the memory of the ant
It was rather fun, if I "removed" a router, ants really got adopted fast and found alternative routes. With redundant networks, routers started sending 50/50 to outgoing ports reaching the same destination. An{t,d} of course, as usual, many parts of this algorithms can be improved.
The Commission said Microsoft may also be trying to extend its dominant position in personal computer operating systems into inexpensive computer servers usually used for printing, accessing the Internet, and storing files.
I guess 'accessing the Internet' isn't SMB specific.
This seems to be possible, I found a page of someone who constructed his own laserbeam redirector, which is right here. This brings the construction costs down to an acceptable level, but you have to (know someone who can and is willing to) build it.
Take a look at this location. It holds many variants of jabber clients. For example, I wanted to give kjabber a try which can be found here. I'm not on the jabber network yet, I'll try soon.
All communication protocols nowadays talk to each other before starting any kind of transfer. Dialing in with your modem also requires a negotiation about rates, noise, et cetera.
So, why are packages communicating in one way before installing? I mean, tarball installs poke around on your system. RPMs and Debs use a predefined database-like structure to poke around, anything outside these structures can not be found.
A bit simplified, but I think you will get the point.
System: So, and you are? Package: foo System: A foo version has been found, 87229. What version are you? Package: 239 System: I don't understand the version scheme. Could you explain? Package: The lower the number, the higher the version. System: OK. Is an upgrade from 87229 to 239 seamless? Package: No, some changes in the configuration files are needed System: Do you supply an algorithm to cleanly change an older configuration file? Package: Yes. System: Do you require other software to be installed? Package: Yes, I need library glibc 2.0 and libfoo 8 System: Well, we have glibc 2.1.3 installed. Hang on, I will make a connection between you and glibc to sort things out. Package: Glibc issues are sorted out. System: Libfoo is not present on this system. Any hints? Package: Yes, it can be on a FOO CD or downloaded from http://..... System: Libfoo installed. System: The library path is:/usr/lib
The main changes we plan to make are to remove the patch clause and clause 6c.
The patch clause was meant to avoid leaving Qt users with slightly incompatible versions of the library without the possibility to tell where the code stems from. However, the Qt user community is now so large that we believe that this is less likely in the current situation. We also see that people tend to send their patches to us so we can include them in the official versions of Qt.
Clause 6c has been claimed to be the major reason for GPL incompatibility in the QPL. This clause gave us the possibility to ensure that companies writing internal Open Source software indeed release their source code to the general public.
The QPL version 2.0 will hopefully end the license discussions once and for all and get us all back to coding again.
Hopefully this action will be enough for the Debian folks to be able to include Qt-linked software. So... a Linux distro got that far to let a company re-license it's software? Really, talk about devotion...
But, as always, the real zealots will find something to complain about as it isn't adopted to their holy GPL. Probably some complaints about certain programming languages et cetera.
Really, if some of us would start being productive, a hell of a lot more could have been accomplished by now.

Looks like Abilene, the backbone for Internet2 will join Canada's CA*Net3 and Europe's GEANT as one of the fastest research networks on the planet

a bunch of extra regions get connected as well.
