 http://linux.alltop.com


 Any idea how they are ranked ?


from the aboutus page:
#

Q. How do you decide which sites and blogs are in a topic?

A. We use a patent-pending, semantic computational algorithm derived
from the post-doctoral work of Guy at Stanford. Just kidding. We rely
on several sources: results of Google searches, review of the sites'
and blogs' content, researchers, and our gut plus the
recommendations of the Twitter community, owners of the sites and
blogs, and people who care enough to write to us. Let us declare
something: The Twitter community has been the single biggest factor in
the quality of Alltop. Without this group of mavens and connectors,
Alltop would not be what it is today.

http://alltop.com/about/


also, do note this site is a venture by the absolutely crazy guy
kawasaki, must confess for a brief moment in time i was quite inspired
by his creative madness :-)

you may also use alltop.com for other disciplines, check 'em out. can
see ankur rohtagi might just go for the 'gadgets' filter.
guy recently held a tweetup in mumbai. i missed it.

[ilugd] Firefox 3.0 static build

2008-09-12 Thread Tanveer Singh
Hi,
I am stuck with a RH Enterprise 4.0 desktop at work. Due to very
obvious reasons, upgrading to 5 is not possible.
This leads to a big problem
Frefox 3 won't run because it wants newer pango.
Of course I can build a new pango, but that requires 500 billion other
packages rebuilt and 5 billion errors and crashes.
Its such a royal mess that I don't even want to go there again(did it
once and ended up screwing everything up, was luckily building in a
separate dir, so rm did the work

Now this poses a problem. I am stuck with firefox 2

The only way out?
Somehow get a ff3 static build for linux. Is it possible to get one? I
remember long time back when firefox was firebird, there used to be
some kind gentlemen who used to build static binaries for firebird for
all platforms.

For firefox 3.0 I am not able to find any static binary. I understand
that with static binary its going to be huge, but space is not really
a big issue.
any help please

Tanveer Singh

[ilugd] Audio capture in browser !! need suggestion ??

2008-09-12 Thread narendra sisodiya
I need to record audio for my educational application . which I have to sent
to the server for storage. Playing can be done by vlc or any other plugin ,
so that is not a issue for a while.

Audio capture in browser !! need suggestion ??
* Flash based ?? will that be free of cost to use that ?? will it output ogg
??
* Java/Applet based ?? any security issue?? well only small percentage of
user will record the audio so this can be option ?? Again any know
implementation ?? will i be able to control with javascript ??
* using a third party plugin/embedded object for recording ??
* Writing my own Firefox and IE and chrome plugin ??
* Developing desktop application for recording and trigger from browser and
having proper synchronisation using server. both will run  independent way
but server will transmit sync information between these two entities. !!
* Developing my application with XMPP/Jabber protocol !!

Remember I just need to record voice of user and save to my server which
user can download or play it in browser . I am trying my best effort to
avoid flash. also i want my streaming to be on ogg format ??

How about you *statically* building your own Firefox 3.0 on a box which
has all dependencies installed, hmm...?

OR

or, You can install recent libs in a chroot on your box, and also bind
your $HOME in the appropriate location in that chroot, hmm...? Maybe
'--installroot' option of yum(8) or '--root' option of rpm(8) might
help.

I did have rpms for a firefox-3beta3 set for el4/i386 and x86_64. Given 
a lazy sunday afternoon I might be tempted to pull them out and see if 
an update can be done for something newer than that.

The other option is to just download the tar.gz from mozilla.org and 
drop them into a dir under ~/ - use that. Should work.

2008/9/11 Sudhanwa Jogalekar [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Compare this with the Debian situation some days back. There were
 jokes and cartoons about the same but nobody ever thought of
 questioning the Debian's FOSS culture of sharing things with users and
 developers.


Do you think that (not hiding information from users or developers) is bad?

 I think the difference  between the approach to resolve the problem
 gives a clear picture.
 Well, today it is RH/Fedora in the situation, tomorrow it could be
 Ubuntu or Gentoo or Mandriva.

 Lets accept the facts and move ahead.

It really did gave us an idea of how two communities reacted to
similar incidents and the Bruce compared the two approaches and gave
what he thought about it.

If there is factual inaccuracies, please provide them.

http://www.jsresources.org/faq_applets.html#applet_record , also see the 
answer to the next question.

I'd think a Java applet would be the most browser- and 
platform-independent way to achieve voice recording in a browser.  
There are tons of existing Java libraries and applets available on 
the 'net for audio capture, though locating a FOSS one may take some 
work.

No need, it was quite on topic considering the extended discussions 
we've had on this list about Linux-friendly hardware.  Speaking for 
myself, it's always good to hear about cheap portables which run FOSS.
