So, Seen's already available as a way of free voice/videocalling between FB users via iPhone. Shame there's no Android or in-browser support yet though:(
I've been using the SIP stack library reSIProcate http://www.resiprocate.org/ a lot this week, and in general it's a very nice real-world example of RAII and exception error-handling in C++. It has a bit of magic in its reliance on preprocessor macros for defining SIP header-specific methods from a single macro 'template' - but this seems to be the only way to use proper C++ typing to model the different parsed headers and keep things maintainable (although I'm aware people have tried to use mixins and roles in C++, i have no idea how well that works in practice). http://estacado.net/resip-dox/stack/classresip_1_1 SipMessage.html is an example of the doxygen for the fundamental class which describes a SIP message - browsing around the doxygen should given an idea of the rather nice RAII idiom they use, as well as the interesting usage of macros...
Picking a file entirely at random, http://svn.resiprocate.org/rep/resiprocate/main/re sip/stack/test/testUri.cxx is both a good example of RAII being used (from the user's perspective), and a fairly good example of a comprehensive C++ unit test (without any faffing around with a unit test framework). The class being tested is their class for expressing SIP URIs (surprise surprise).
It's no longer slashdotted - so if people feel like reading the article on our site, at least we'll get some advertising revenue to pay for the rest of the/.ing bandwidth.... - co-sysadmin of TORn
I believe the cost of an ad impression, and potential reward for someone actually clicking through(!) outweighs the cost of downloading 70KB or so of markup and graphics. Moreover, people are more likely to actually go and then visit the rest of the site itself. Just direct-linking to 10MB of downloads without directing anyone towards the site hosting it is simply bad karma:( I assume that the response above is at least in part facetious...
It increases the load on the master server, rather than distributing it over a mirror - and it means that the hosting site (TheOneRing.net) doesn't even reclaim any money through ad banners to pay for bandwidth of the slashdotting effect itself! grrrrr....
