I am sure you guys are pretty smart and capable by looking at the way you handled this heated thread :) Don't know why this thread was hijacked into a Hindi imposition argument! I did not get any of those vibes from visiting the site... From a suggestion view point, I have a request. For the first time, I have to think about parental controls as my 8 year old daughter has started to use the home computer regularly. I am really worried about inadvertent exposure to unwanted content. A 'built in', by default 'on' parental control with opt in for adult content would be great as a fundamental part of the desktop. Certainly a feature any Indian talking any language would be appreciative of! BTW on a lighter note, I do not understand Hindi and was a victim of mindless Hindi imposition as a 3rd language (English and Tamil being the 1st and 2nd) in school. Believe it or not, I can read and write Hindi but cannot understand or talk any of it!

But looking at the specs simple logic says unless the firefox os does some magic the user experience is not going to be that great. I wish to be be proved wrong. I am going to order for that device anyways to experiment. I have an android smart phone with low internal storage and low memory and it is virtually unusable as a smart phone. Works great as a phone though. I am not stupid to expect something like an iPhone or an S3 at Rs.2,000/- but worried about the os's reputation running on such cheap hardware. IF the experience is not good (we don't know yet), can't believe that Mozilla would do something as stupid as this. Cheap is cheap. I remember the proliferation of android devices on cheap unbranded Chinese phones which got 'android' a cheap tag - bad battery, bad display, not responsive etc. Consumers do not know to differentiate between hardware shortfalls and the os. If Mozilla thought by partnering with a local company and throw a cheap phone at us Indians it is rather sad. They could have atleast demanded to have one good spec device in parallel. The phone in question does not have 3G connectivity and the rather uninformed consumer will comment to a friend 'firefox os cannot do 3G and they call it a smart phone OS'.

Great effort. And animation par excellence. Kudos to Realwork studios. Great demo for Blender. But comparing it with the original movie is taking it too far. Neither do I agree with most of the points given by Realwork studios in the comments under the videos. If you look at the original trailer of kochadayaan (sultan the warrior) it is as good as the blender demo we are discussing about. An industry insider told me at that time itself that the movie will never be released because the team did not have the resources (time, money and technology) to make a 3 hour movie at that quality. My point is you could put in incredible effort to do a 4 minute demo. But sustaining it for 3 hours requires not just great software. A lot more. I don't want to take this discussion forward since realwork studios is not part of this mailing list and cannot counter if I am wrong.

[Ilugc] [COMMERCIAL] Stock market tech analysis and Front end for sale
Guys, I take the liberty to post this on a forum I have been around about one and a half decade :) Admins please feel free to delete this post if inappropriate. Around the end of last year I was interested in studying the stock market and the patterns it plays with really attracted me. While I was experimenting, I wrote a few apps to download and analyse in a systematic way the number patterns. Used TA-Lib's python bindings extensively. Initially started to write a front end website to display results for myself but I made it presentable to general public. Now due to other commitments and financial realities I have no time to put into this. The site is here: http://nsepedia.com I do not want this to go waste. I want to give it away to someone who sees value in it. Technologies: 1. Linux VPS running software modules and web server 2. MySQL database for data 3. Python for all programming (backend) 4. Hand coded HTML5+CSS3 front end. What the site has: - Python based apps to download, analyse and create reports. - MySQL database to store stock data and TA results - Front end to see the data - NSEPedia.com domain name - VPS server paid up for a year till Dec 2014. What can be quickly added: - Blog - Mailing list - User management Can help to: - Make Android front end - Make iOS front end Potential business: - Services around data produced with NSE data - Can quickly make it work for BSE data too.' - Built in modules so that the entire site can be "resold" to other exchange contexts. Please send commercial interests privately to me. Any other queries including technical, please post here. Regarding commercial angle, I am not expecting too much. Just to cover my cost till now and probably a small premium if some is going to run this site commercially. I am open to any joint venture too if someone with a keen business interest and stock market knowledge to partner. I would love to open source this if some one funds it for me. I need to fund my other projects and hobbies :) Programming and computing is my bread and butter.

I am sure both have great career opportunities, but linux device drivers are kind of generic and you will always be in demand - and also gives the opportunity to mature and learn along with Linux's journey. I would like to use this opportunity to laugh at our 'system' of education and the way we choose careers. In a perfect world, Linux device driver development = Core programmer, developer, creator. MATLAB/Octave = Scientific analysis tool. Best left to scientists to learn. MATLAB delivers the power of computing for scientists.

It might be what you are looking for. > Yes. This is the only practical option. But some caveats from my experience: - Cordava is great for simple applications which do not require fancy UX - Complex applications will lead most devs to use platforms (typically jQuery mobile) to speed up development. This is often the killer. jQuery mobile and most other platforms are very heavy and the advantage they provide as write once run anywhere comes with heavy cost in performance and size. - Plain fact, Cordava will use IE in windows phones and it is the same nightmare to support IE as is in the desktop world. Do not assume the app you developed for Android/iOS (both use webkit) will work without tweaking for the Windows phone. - Native apps's UXs are so responsive since they are tied directly to the hardware acceleration layer. A simple smooth scroller ui element for a cordova app is a nightmare to implement. - Always remember the android app you write may be running on a very cheap phone with very low memory and processing speed. The added layer of webkit and javascript interpreter will lead to very poor ux. This is typically not a problem with iOS, Windows phone and Blackberry based devices. Despite the negatives it is a brilliant platform. It allows HTML/CSS/JavaScript developers to develop full blown mobile apps.

The next best thing if you want to use web technologies is Apache Cordova (PhoneGap) If you are not looking for multiple platforms with single effort (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) there is nothing to beat developing apps using the native SDK (Android/Java SDK from google) Just for the sake of mentioning: You could use the inbuilt webkit webview of the sdk and load your PHP/MySQL application running on your server.

I can develop the app both for Android and iOS. The issues are: - Though the software can produce perfect perfect tones, the speaker of the mobile phone will be incapable of handling these low frequencies. - Suggest we take the output off the audio out and provide a super low cost amplifier and a speaker. A typical sub woofer circuit is specially tuned for these low frequencies and are available in plenty in Ritchie street. If anyone else have suggestions, please add to this thread.

It is brilliant and is a must for any serious enthusiast. But the steep curve of LFS is not worth for any casual user or traditional programmer. For the people who are interested, do not miss this opportunity. What makes this really exciting: - Compile every single package from source. - Bootstrap glibc and gcc to compile itself to use for compiling other sources! - Setup the linux file system from scratch. - Compile even grub and install it in the MBR.

USB sticks have a limited number of write cycles after which they might fail. If you still want to persist files, partition the USB stick using fdisk/cfdisk. Keep the second partition for persisting data. Install the live linux distribution in the first partition. After booting into the live linux version, format the second partition as ext(x) (or FAT32 if you want to exchange files with a windows box). Later you can manually mount the partition.

I assume you are a beginner. Today's world, there are 3 major types of databases which are in use - Relational (MySQL, Postgres etc), NoSQL (Mongo, Hypertable, Riak etc) and Graph (Neo4J etc). If you are a person who is looking at computing as a career, you need to understand how all the 3 work, but need not be a master of all. For any traditional employment do become thorough with SQL, it is the core of any relational database. It will always be helpful for whatever career path you are going to take. But if you love something new and want your "resume" to be noticed with keywords like "scalability" welcome to the world of NoSQL. Graph databases are used by social networks and there are very good implementations like Neo4J.

I thought it is awesome that open source development spread around the world can reach a defect density of 0.69/1000 compared to 0.68/1000 for proprietary software.

[Ilugc] [Link] Code quality - Open source vs. Proprietary software
How does the code quality compare between open source and proprietary software? Open source code - 0.69 defects / 1000 lines code Proprietary code - 0.68 defects / 1000 lines code. Apparently the industry average for good quality software is 1.0 defects / 1000 lines of code. The fact that distributed development of open source software can achieve par with proprietary software is so awesome!

They are easy to setup and use within a LAN. The problem is the complexity to set it up to work behind a NAT which will be the maximum use case. For example your machine will be in a LAN connected to the internet through a modem/router and the target machine will also be connected to the internet in a similar fashion. You need to open ports and do port forwarding in the router. This is no easy task for a beginner.

A direct comparison using tools like diff will almost always fail. Since you have mentioned in the other message that you only want to compare text content and not formatting, you could possibly use the following method... Install LibreOffice and run the following command to convert the doc file to plain text: libreoffice --headless --invisible --convert-to txt:Text filetoconvert.doc After this, you will have all the text in a file called filetoconvert.txt Run the stream editor `sed` to remove all blank lines: sed '/^$/d' filetoconvert.txt > convertedandstripped.txt Now you can run `diff` to find simple differences. If you want to compare in a more intelligent fashion, open the text file using your favorite programming language and write the logic :) If you are going to call LibreOffice from within your shell script or php script or any other app, use the following command. I struggled to make it work and took hours of internet searching! export HOME=/tmp && libreoffice --headless --invisible --convert-to txt:Text filetoconvert.doc LibreOffice requires a valid home directory. All the best.

I have tried this with a Microsoft HD Cinema webcam. Interestingly Microsoft makes wonderful hardware :) Almost all their hardware. A warning though - the Raspberry pi will reach it's limit at 720p. If you are looking at full HD capture and streaming with h.264, the pi has not got the brute force to do a software encode. Actually it has got a hardware h.264 engine which you can unlock by buying a license @ ~$2. Unfortunately ffmpeg nor any other media app at the moment does not have a driver for this.

One problem with Arduino is that the single serial port in the device is used for programming and monitoring the device from the PC. If you decide to use the Bluetooth module in serial mode, you need to disconnect and re connect the BT module every time you program the Arduino. Unless of course you use the BT module in SPI mode. There is not much technical information in the kitsnspares website for the BT module.

Typically you should have some hardware skills like soldering to attach a Bluetooth module to the robot controller or micro-controller. Bluetooth modules are available in India here: http://www.rhydolabz.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=130_132&zenid=33bec775ec53e194fdbf361c65b1cb99 Typical arrangement will be like this: Micro-controller<->Serial Interface<->Bluetooth Module <-- Over the air -> Android phone's Bluetooth subsystem <-> Android Bluetooth API (RFCOMM) Most Bluetooth modules are serial drop ins in which case no setup from software (embedded, micro-controller) is required. Some devices might require you setup the device from the micro-controller (like device name, baud rate etc.) In principle, setting up a Bluetooth link between a mobile phone to a robot controller or micro controller is not very difficult, but not child's play either if you are not a micro-controller regular :) Regards, Arun Venkataswamy http://wondroussky.blogspot.in/ "கற்றது கைமண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு" - ஔவையார் Known is a drop, Unknown is an ocean ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

The IP addresses of the internet connections of the two machines will keep changing, and they are also behind a modem connected to the LAN. That's the reason I would like to use a `client initiated` solution. I have a 3rd machine with a static IP on the internet which can act as a passive/bridge between the 2 servers.

[Ilugc] File sync between two locations
Hi, I had a seemingly simple problem till I started the implementation. I have two GNU/Linux servers, one in Erode and another one in Coimbatore - both inside respective LANs which is connected to the internet. I also have one VPS server (Linode) running with a static IP connected to the internet. Now, I have to sync two folders - one in the Erode machine and the other one in the Coimbatore machine. Files can get added and deleted in each of the folders. At any given time, the Erode machine's folder should contain all the files added by both Erode users and Coimbatore users. Same expectation on the other side also. The project is a hybrid content management system. Latency is not an issue. It can even take an entire day to sync the two folders. Based on my research the Unison project ( http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) seems to fit very well in the star topology. Any comments? Any better tool to achieve this? Am I in the right path?

Would suggest you go for a load balanced system with multiple Moodle/Apache instances with a MySQL cluster. Moodle Quizes are not static content deliveries and they require PHP and MySQL CPU usage. So do be careful for such a large project. If it is just a quiz, you might not want to consider Moodle.

Well I remember incredible fascination when a 3 line BASIC program could generate multiplication tables. I was 10 then and it was on a Spectrum ZX computer connected to the TV. What got me even more excited was assigning a sound note to each key. ...and I assume a 6 year old today is way more informed/exposed/intelligent than a 10 year old 25 years back :) > > Instead of teaching a kid to write a+b program in BASIC, give her a tablet > or PC with kids apps that does the same thing in a kid-friendly way. :-) > a+b is what the calculator does for her. I am sure printing her name or her friend's name 1 times on the screen is way more interesting. And as a general reply, I am NOT trying to force my kid to do anything. I have a feeling she might be good at it. So I want to gauge her interest and if she likes it, I would provide the tools for her to pursue it. ...Before the school curriculum in computing can spoil it forever.

It was running, but was not taking any keyboard input. BTW, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and there is no /etc/inittab. There is a file /etc/init/tty1.conf which configures what runs in tty1. The solution involved wrapping the app in a shell script like this one: #!/bin/sh exec /dev/tty1 exec 2>/dev/tty1 /path/to/app and then calling this wrapper script instead of the app from init/upstart : [/etc/init/tty1.conf] . . . respawn exec /path/to/wrapper-script Thanks and regards, Arun http://wondroussky.blogspot.in/ "கற்றது கைமண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு" - ஔவையார் Known is a drop, Unknown is an ocean ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
