My MS thesis was right up this alley; titled "Automated Radio Network Design Using Ant Colony Optimization"
We represented the network design problem as a GSTS (generalized Steiner tree-star) problem, and programmatically let thousands of ants traverse the network looking for optimal designs.

I'm sure this will flood with even more over the next week when they open the developer portal. Oh yea, and I reverse engineered the iTunes remote control protocol and released an Android client GPL'ed: http://dacp.jsharkey.org/
we're already working on gplv3'ed ssh:) and its got some kick-butt features for terminal switching. check out the code and vids:

Android 1.0 phones *will* still have working Bluetooth and IM. This announcement is specifically referencing developer APIs that would allow hackers like us to do awesome stuff.
Bluetooth headsets, etc and normal IM will work on Android just like we've always expected.
Remember that Apple requested requested a lengthened period from the FCC for the iPhone, but they launched about 3 weeks before that date. A November date for Android doesn't preclude an earlier launch.
As Google tools, google desktop and of course Google search as the homepage become the default start point for users, the operating system becomes less relevant.
Parent is completely right! My parents wouldn't dream of switching to Linux because they use Outlook and are tied down in their ways. However, I've gotten them to switch over to Firefox, which is a big step in the right direction.
I've weaned myself off all those nasty OS-related programs (except for WinAmp). The feeling is great--I can sit down at just about any computer in the world, and do everything from a browser and maybe a console. I could care less if it's Windows or Linux or OS/2 (Warpzilla)!
Remember how annoying other n-page articles have been, with their loads of ads and the never-disappearing "Next Page" links? Kudos to this magazine for boiling their article down to one summary page, and for pushing all clutter to the edges. Hopefully other sites are watching and will take notice!
Firefox uses more mem than IE because

Remember how IE is tied directly into the Windows core? "iexplore.exe" says it's using 32MB, but remember that any memory used by SHDOCVW is being handily rolled into another process like "explorer.exe" or "System."
Firefox doesn't live by those shady tactics, and shows you its actual memory usage all in one process.
I've been racking my brain (and the Internet) over the past week, trying to get a simple Linux streaming solution working. It should take a live video stream from a Firewire IEEE1394 consumer camcorder, encode it on a laptop, and send it to a streaming server for mass broadcast.
I've found several interesting F/OSS programs and utilties (like MPEG4IP and GStreamer), and have kept a list of all software combinations I've tried. Right now it's pretty detailed, so hopefully it can help others. E-mail me if you have any suggestions.
Last year I worked on an Artificial Intelligence project to recognize objects from several video angles. It takes 2D images (from camera video) and turns them into a 3D path.
It uses a super-neat concept called "Geometric Hashing" which can be used to recognize an object regardless of size, rotation, or even partially-obscured regions.
Personally, I think it would be sort of sucky for a few months, but if everyone just stopped buying music and videos from *AA affiliated musicians, perhaps the hint would work.
If we stopped buying, then they would just scream about how P2P was robbing them of their profits! For crying out loud, they will whine no matter what you do!! This business model probably came out of their R+D departments observing two-year-old toddlers!
If artists held a survey asking where their listeners discovered them, they would fall of their chairs when the results came back showing over 50% of their fan-base discovered them by downloading first. (Hasn't anyone done surveys like this before?)

Wait a second... AOL has a video search?
Wow, I'm blinded by that yellow pacman! I don't think he's seen the light of day for years. :p

Go get VideoLAN client and you can stream download the OGG version. Just open the URL as a Network Stream:

Very handy use of VLC! :)

There's an excellent paper by Wolfson and Rigoutsos called "Geometric Hashing: An Overview." You can find a PDF copy on Google Scholar.
For some other good sources on Geometric Hashing, see the References on my Final Paper.
Last year I worked on an Artificial Intelligence project to recognize objects from several video angles. It takes 2D images (from camera video) and turns them into a 3D path.
It uses a super-neat concept called "Geometric Hashing" which can be used to recognize an object regardless of size, rotation, or even partially-obscured regions.
Thanks to the Firefox Adblock plug-in, I never saw any ads on the site. :)

But wait, the BitTorrent tracker they're using is hosting a copyrighted DVD-R of the movie "The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)."
