As long as rpm is there as the default format in LSB, LSB will be considered as a counter-productive standard by many bolded linux geeks. As a next move, LSB group should think of the ways to reformulate the requirements for rpm as the default package
I hear lots of praising on slashdot about moving Linux towards unicode. Unfortunately, unicode and case-insensitivity of any kind dont work together well. How would you preserve the case of arabic letter, or how do you choose what chinese ideographs are accounted as the same letter? Case-insensitivity is a concept coming from indoeuropean languages, butit is not universal.
>someone on *this* side of the political fence
>(an ally or 'strategic partner' of the U.S.)
Taliban government and mojaheds troups, were
also U.S. allies, so what? Being on *this* side
of the political fence does not automatically
mean being good, you know. Or... wait,
isn't it what your TV is bullshitting at you?
I wonder what relation this Mad Doc Software
company has to the 1C:Maddox Games, the producer
of the famous IL2Sturmovik that beats now all
the ratings in on-line simulation charts.
What matters are technicals parameters that sound too complicated at first glance but that do reflect the quality of the conection more than all those nifty hundreds of Kbps.
These are:
1. Presence/absence of proxy servers (lots of providers install non-transparent proxies at the most common ports, like:80)
2. Openness of ports (Yet again, many providers use to filter all incoming connections to ports lower than 1024)
3. Correctly configured of revese DNS zone (without this, you will not be able to access some irc and news servers and probably have some troubles with mail and even web browsing)
Dont know about the others, but when I write a spec, I do it in DTD, then convert to XML Schema and add missing features.
From then on, the XML Schema version servers for me as a format to validate against while DTD is the format at which I look to refresh in mind the structure.
There is a large vocabulary recogniton system, CMU Sphynx at http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/
However, This is probably not exactly what you are looking for as is not (yet?) suitable for Voice Recognition tasks.
The problem with Voice Recognition is that it has always been a toy for most users and very few of those who buy Voice Recognition software do succeed to make a productivity boost. If you are one of them, you are a lucky guy as you have a good, distinguishable pronunciation, you work in a silent environment and use the mike shipped with the software. Since Unix world has a very practical view on things, I doubt there is many unix people out there that think Voice Recognition can be of use to them.
Given the laziness of users and lack of training facilities, Voice Recognition is considered to stay an unprofitable buisiness for a long time. You can't even imagine how expensive it is to write a Voice Recognition software and collect the speech data for it...
Specialized chips for TTS applications has
been around for a while... The problem with
their acception is that they have poor voice
quality. Actually, ther are tho quite different
technologies available to produce text nowadays:
1. Diphone synthesis and its variations. The idea
is to have one sample of each sound compination
(diphone) in a speechase and produce the actual
speech by manipulating those sounds. This is what
give computer-syntethized, somewhat metallic speech
that most people have already heard somewhere and
this is what actually used in low-powered devices,
handhelds and speaking dictionaries.
2. Corpus-based synthesis. The idea is to store
a few hour of the speech of a highly trained
speaker in the speechbase and select fragments
of this speech that suit best for the genaration.
The second approach gives astonishing results with
the quality of the speech being sometimes
undistinguishable for the human. However, the size
of the speechbase is an issue. You can not fit a
300Mb speechbase onto a handheld hevice yet
and hardware optimizations dont help much when
it conserns fetching data from the speechbase
and performing text-to-phonemes conversion.
Several companies have corpus-based synthesis
demos on-line. Check out SpeechWorks' and
Lernout & Hauspie's sites
Just to make the political situation in Afganistan more clear to/. readers:
There are two major political/military groups there:
1. Taliban, that was largely supported by US until approx. 1995
2. Pro-soviet regime of Najibullah that was backed by USSR
from mid-seventies till 1991.
Soviet government held troups in Afganistan for 12 years (1979-1991),
supporting Najibullah while US government poored money into Taliban,
sold them arms and trained talibean mojaheds. It was a matter of
presence and control in the region for both countries.
After the collapse of USSR, Russian troups left Afganistan, Talibeans took
over Kabul and almost 95% of the territory of Afganistan. Nagibullah was
hung
his balls in the throat.

Hm... It's probably time to move over Debian.. Hey, what's the name of that distro without graphical installer? Gotta try it...
On Windows NT/2000/XP, stop the messaging service and enjoy ;-)
Any computer geek could answer you with one word: ldap, why did yo want to ask on slashdot?

You forgot to mention that slashdot html code is indented and filled with carriage returns
If I need an answer, I dont ask slashdot -- I search groups.google.com and if I do not find the answer, I go ask in the relevant newsgroup.
Actually, this is what Debian community has done for years.

That BitTorrent is not Free as in speech and is not even completely free as in beer.
Ideally, you need only two commands:
export LANG=en_UK.UTF-8
xsetkb us_intl
and then, you will be able to input
the accented chars by typing `a or a`
or e' or `e -- it all dependa on your
particular system.

It's better you end up with using NFSv3
There is an option is MSVC which is called Disable language extensions but which in fact makes the compiler more C99-compliant.
I think, the first step this guy sould make is to rename this option into Enable Microsoft C++ extensions and make it disabled by default.

2. Netfilter emulates ipchains and ipfwadm. There is no need to rewrite the rules.
