Re: [Ilugc] To install firefox extension in command line, How to make commands execute in order

But if i do manually, executing the two commands one by one, it installs add-on extension into Firefox!!!

If you have heavy downloads EVDO is perfect, though browsing is slower because RTT of packets are very large around 450 ms.

Re: [Ilugc] How to setup a cloud (Cloud Computing)
2009/12/31 Sreekanth B gnuy...@gmail.com i think we can debate on this distro choice ;-) Tried to distract a bit ;-) Ubuntu is slow to catch up the server side market with 9.10 release they have almost achieved better packaging for kernel and hence future seems bright for ubuntu. agreed. 9.10 needs some time though for some annoying bugs to be sorted out. UEC == Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud == http://www.eucalyptus.com/ it help you to setup a private cloud,[..] I knew this already. But... what probably karan means is that since redhat/centos is enterprise ready from long time lot of companies would be deploying it. At the moment i dont have stats to prove this point tho. My curiosity is just wat makes centOS a preferred distro over the others?. I was wondering if there's any 'specific' reason behind it. I'd love to know. -- Warm Regards, Yogesh. http://tinyurl.com/yogeshg1987 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Check your apache config. Or if it is some app that you downloaded, see if they force https in their config. I knew a php app that could do this.

Stable packaging, good tooling, highly competent admin and automation systems and the fact that it just works, and keeps on doing so for almost as long as people have apps on there. the other benefit, more specific to the cloud argument, is that its just VM's running on larger iron. And the virt market has been almost completely built on and around centos, start from the vmware base to xen and openvz. KVM is now upstream native to EL.

[Ilugc] Fwd: [OpenCV] Computer Vision Interns 2010
Dear All, Willow Garage provides interns with an opportunity to integrate aspects of their degree program with the real world application of open source software development. http://www.willowgarage.com/pages/software/opencv Interested people with C++ and Geometric vision ( is an important and well-studied part of computer vision) find the below information. Thanks Rg Mohan L -- Forwarded message -- From: Gary garybrad...@gmail.com Date: Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 7:39 AM As I mentioned in my new years message. We (Willow Garage http://www.willowgarage.com a robotics institute/incubator) can use an intern in 3D model capture. That is: using silhouettes to capture an object and combine that with structure from motion and stereo clues to create 3D object meshes out of objects. Pay is good, free food, great location, work with robots, sensors -- you can best summarize Willow as: Fun. Papers will be written, hard work but good times, see examples at http://www.willowgarage.com/pages/community/interns-and-visiting-scholars . Who: US, or US work visa is easiest. For more exceptional people who can stay longer than 3 months, we'll deal with helping obtain a work visa. This is an internship which means you are enrolled in some school. We might also consider doing this with a consulting arrangement for non-students, but at Intern rates. For real exceptional situations, work in place may be possible and/or student grants to fund work in place. Timing: Winter, Spring, Fall. Summer is very full here already with interns. Exception: Come in Spring and stay through the Summer. Requirements: MUST: You must be a seasoned programmer in C++. There is no time for learning curves, we work with robots and fairly complex systems. You must have a good understanding of geometric vision. Calibration, homography, structure from motion. PLUS: Computer graphics a big plus Experience in optimization, CUDA etc also a plus. Experience working with robots is a plus. If you meet the MUST above, send application to j...@willowgarage.comjobs%40willowgarage.comPut in the title: Intern: 3D Model Capture Gary _ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
