This was actually our third attempt to make it from Nantucket to Bermuda, the first two launches unfortunately ran into technical problems very early into the mission.
Spook seems to be what they are looking for. It takes input from a Firewire camera or Video4Linux source, and converts it into MPEG4 or JPEG streams. It's under active developement.
Just put together out second 2TB array today, We use the Promise UltraTrak SX8000, this is an 8x ATA disc array --> SCSI. The tower I put together today uses 8 (well 9.. one for hot swapping) WD 2500JD drives. The tower takes care of the actual RAID subsystem, we use, 5, though it supports 1, 10, 3, 30, 5, and 50, and possibly others. This setup yeilds 1.75TB of usable space, at a cost of $3,708 (if you buy it from MWave good upport, and the best prices I have seen on this stuff), or a realized cost of $2.12/GB. If you go with WD2000JD drives you can save some money, coming in at $3,258 or $2.04/GB.
A very simple RSS (both RDF and XML) stream reader. eRSS is simple to set up, and allows for tweaking the settings of each stream you want on your desktop (see the three in the lower right, and one bottom center).
nah, it wasn't copied, but here are some more to check out: OpenWRT's Firwmare; a minimalist installation, supporting add-on extensions. Seattle Wireless's extremely informational page on the router.
It's important to note that Sveasoft is not the only group out there extending the abilities of these boxes. Linksys/CISCO releasing the code has allowed many groups a crack at modifying these systems to their hearts content. Wifi-Box is incredably stable, and offers many options, taht are also being extended.
OpenWRT aims to be very light, but allow you to add packages to customize anyway you want.
That's funny, because my mother and father (who live in NY state, and used to use AOL) have been used that server to get their mail with whatever client they chose, for a couple of years.
zina is great, it simply requires an apache server and mod_php on whatever server your songs live on. It can stream, create playlists, randomize, and down-sample songs (if you have LAME installed) on the fly. Zina is also listed at Freshmeat. I have only used it as a stand-alone server, but it also plugs into Postnuke and PHPNuke.
Especially with some VERY good Overseas Registrars. (12 Euros a year, with great services, tech support, etc. In Paris, France). We have to get it into the politicians heads that it's not DARPANet, and it really shouldn't be under Congressional control or oversight.

You can see the data it sent back over the IRIDIUM phone network every seven hours at these pages:
WHOI Instument page about the SPRAY glider
Our real-time plots page
Make sure you check out the plot of velocities when it got caught in the gulf stream
Also particularly interesting are the Continuous Temperature plot
and the Continuous Salinity (salt content) profile.
And you can also view the path it took to Bermuda
We hope to launch it again early next year, possibly for a roundtrip around Bermuda.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
Suprised no one has alinked to the actual WHOI announcement.
There was also a very good NPR Science Friday Discussion on this back in August.

oh, it was a joke, it's monday, and I'm on line 11484 of code. :)
well yes, $99 + $12.95 a month, or $299 for 'your models "lifetime",' the cost is equivalent to ~23 months of month-by-month service.
so, right quick we're back up to your $400.
So yes, while $99 is an easy sell as a DVR, a $99 brick is of little interest.
So the device they are talking about is the Belkin n52. /. link mirror.
You can see the mirror (thanks to JWSWythe) over at his
And you can order it from any of these vendors.
There are numerous reviews of the device, including some at PC Mag, Extreme Review, and Tom's Hardware. For the lazy it receives rather good reviews when looked at for it's original gaming purpose.

one person recomended gPhoto he is absoluteely correct, it is a wonderful product, and the gtk2 interface, gtkam is extremely simple to use.

Just not published:
imap.uk.aol.com
supports SSL/TSL and everything
This is a great place to start, it is actively developed, has a great commuinty, and a constantly growing plugin selection.
I can build gdc with gdc
(gdc??? huh? why, the GNU D compiler of course)
No, it's not up to date but it's better than nothing.

Wow, it looks almost exactly like the WiSIP that Jeff Pulver, founder of Free World Dialup, has been selling on Pulver Innovations for about a year now.
