  1. Re:RivaVX on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    RivavX is just a frontend to ffmpeg, useful for win32 users. Combining this with some of the premade swf's from videospark makes for a nice progressive platform independent playback that works on almost all platforms, Flash v.7 is needed though.

    Demo of a progressive flv player. Using that player it is even possible to create streaming webvideo without using Macromedias authoring enviroment.

  2. Re:Ultimate PDA on Ideal PDA Feature Wishlist? · · Score: 1
    And by the look of your posting you also want
    an outliner,.. I originally planned to port
    mine "hnb",
    but I broke my Palm before it happened.


    Development on my outliner have been slow for a
    while,.. but I will release a new version soon.

  3. Re:Audio licenses? on Explaining the GPL to Non-Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    The software shouldn't work until the user has
    passed a quiz about the implications of the license.

  4. Re:OS X app bundles, NOW!!! (wrt source) on Designing Good Linux Applications · · Score: 1

    This could actually be applied to source distributed software as well.

    just make a subfolder called src/ in the .app dir,.. the app itself will default to install itself in ../bin/ (or whatever the used name is),..

    using something similar to autoconf one could actually make a system that detected the absence of bin/ detected a src/ and asked wether it should try to build the application with default options.

  5. personal hierarchical db on With XML, is the Time Right for Hierarchical DBs? · · Score: 1

    I made my self a little application for storing my thoughts, addresses, todolists, random snippets of commandline hacks, quotes, links etc.

    I found no other application capable of doing it out there,.. so I made my own (hnb), it turns out other outliners, as I found out these apps actually are called, existed, but none of them did it the way I felt natural.

    I think hierarchical db's are nice for things that humans are supposed to organize and reorganize, but I doubt it would be really sensical to move from rdbms to pure hdbms because of xml.

  7. free hate speech on Council of Europe Pushes Net Hate-Speech Ban · · Score: 1

    Does this mean we can't legally write viruses for outlook and IIS anymore? Since source code is speech,.. I guess virii would be hate code.

  8. Other ways to get electricity from non nerds on Piezoelectric Shoe Power · · Score: 1

    A better idea, and perhaps a more feasible one is to convert a gym into a powerplant, all the different apparatuses create electricty to light up, and warm up the gym.

    This would make it possible to have lower charges for the training hours. And you could make all sorts of nice slogans,..

    "make your work out mean something"
    "the new cheaper enviroment firendly gym"
    "get an electric discount on your gym membership"

  9. using borland/linux for eductation on Borland Kylix Released - Kinda · · Score: 1

    In my college linux is currently used for education about OpenGL and serverside programming (php/perl) for apache. We've got one linux lab, and three windows labs in my department.

    When borland ports it's ide,.. and makes it GPL (and if I understand correctly this would also be C++),.. my college would very likely expand with one more lab.. because half of the classes thought. (GUI, and various programming related topics) could just as easily be trained using borland's software,.. and there'd be no reason not to use the GPL'd versions in school..

    my only fear now is that they won't add another linux lab.. and the current lab will be cramped.
