Relying on 3rd-Party/Open Source Software for fully functionality in Vi

Is it just me or are open source software engineers doing a better job than actual Creative software engineers?
There are several threads linking to 3rd-Party hacks to get the majority of Creative Apps working in Vista. As well as this there are the KXProject Drivers floating around which appear to offer better compatability than the current Creative drivers.
What's going on Creative? How many Software Engineers do you actually have working for you?
Why is it, people you don't even pay are making much greater developments and progress in drivers and software for Vista?
But i guess they're not charging customers to purchase?updates on?CD. I remember when the Audigy was released, instead of offering downloads, Creative actually asked people to buy an updated CD with software and drivers on. Of course we were only?charged for postage, but very expensi've postage nevertheless.Message Edited by AnnoyedCustomer on 03-09-200703:3 PM

Hi welcome to the forum, I hope you find lots of help here and we look forward to your contributions as well
In regards to your questions:
1: No, you just put a swf file on the server
2. You can host the smaller app on your site and then give them an iframe linking to it
3. Nope, no problems there
Hope this helps
Best regards

Will JSE integrate more 3rd-party open source tools in the future?

Will JSE integrate more 3rd-party open source tools in the future?

Looks like this issue is the same as the one tracked in:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=57046
Also, the thread http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=55897 discusses the topic "SJS8EA: how to add netbeans4.1 update center" ; users can add nb41 update center to jse and download and install the modules from netbeans update center. Users can also obtain the nbms directly from netbeans.org and other third party vendors and apply them to jse using "manually downloaded modules" option in autoupdate client. Of course, users should ensure that the downloaded modules are compatible with the version of nb a given jse version is based on.

Huge Hole in Open Source Software Found, Leaves Millions Vulnerable

Huge Hole in Open Source Software Found, Leaves Millions Vulnerable
Debian, the Linux variant used largely by security professionals, and Ubuntu, the variant most commonly used by home users are both affected. Furthermore, Windows servers may be compromised as well if they are using keys generated on Linux systems.
Ironically the bug originated from an automated tool known as Valgrind which is supposed to reduce programming bugs which lead to security vulnerabilities. It found that a block memory was not being properly initialized, meaning that it would contain random information. The automated tool politely inserted code to clean up the block of memory making it all zeros. The only problem was that the system was intentionally using the block's unknown to get randomness to generate the keys. The library also gets randomness from mouse movements, keystroke timings, network packet arrival timings, and even microvariations in hard drive speed.
The Valgrind code caused errors, so the programmers simply commented out all the code, including the other methods of generating randomness on accident. Only the code which utilized the process ID, an integer ranging from 0 to 32,767, remained to provide randomness. It turns out the "fix" turned grievous error was not the work of the OpenSSL programmers themselves, but of the Debian team, known for their security expertise.
OpenSSL developer Ben Laurie raged, "Never fix a bug you don't understand! Had Debian [sent the bug to us] in this case, we (the OpenSSL Team) would have fallen about laughing, and once we had got our breath back, told them what a terrible idea this was. But no, it seems that every vendor wants to 'add value' by getting in between the user of the software and its author."

firewalker - this was discussed here and on our mailing lists at the time the vulnerability was discovered, approximately two weeks ago. It's always a good idea to search the forum before posting.

What do you think open source software is missing?

What do you think open source software is missing? Can be any general gripe, missing tools, missing support, etc.
I'm waiting for a skype replacement with a windows and linux client. I only use the video and voice functionality.

Wrt Paul Davis, he seems to get $4-5k/month now so things are looking up a bit for him. Who's to blame if the community isn't able to come up with enough support for it's prime members? Also, there are parts of the world where you can live rather comfortably on $4k/month. You just have to beware of the dragons ;-)
Open Source is a lot like socialism: work as hard as you can, get as much as you need. In theory, it could work: some would eat 2x the avg but work 5x the avg while others would be the other way round. In practise ... People are lazy, people are evil.
Why should they pay for sth if they don't have to? Why should they be interested in GNU / Linux? Because it's free? Hey, I've got tons of "free" apps, piracy ahoy! (Or should I say "arrrrr")
Maybe that's the reason many 'big names' went to work for Microsoft: their dignity didn't allow them to beg for support.

Open source projects for reading/wrting Excel, need your ideas

Hi all,
First of all, I am sorry that i didn't find the matched category under the listed forum topics.
I am evaluating some open source projects for processing(read/write) Excel files, so far i have found two: POI from apache and Java Excel API, however, i am wondering if there are any excellent projects that i missed, would anyone who have such experience please give me some ideas? Any better APIs?
Any helps are appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
thurm

hi macrules2,
thanks for you reply!
I think POI is not 'excellent' in some areas, for example, i found POI sometimes cannot read Date format collectly, and cannot support some kinds of formula either. So we want another more 'excellent' java-excel components.

Where do i find open source code for the FF Sync capability ?

Where can i find the open source code for the FoxFire capability "Sync" (bookmarks)....
That capability should be extended to allow one or more (selectable) arbitrary sync servers; I want to look into providing such capability, with enhancements.

Open Source- WebAnalytics - for weblogic Portal Appliccation

Hi All,
I am using Weblogic portal 10.2
I have developed a site , in portal 10.2
I want to integrate webanalytics to my application.
Did any one intergrated Open source Webanalytics for portal application
I can see "AWstats" , but if you have used other than this let me know..
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
I tried creating a simple JSF portlet and I can able to register and it is working Fine, but my teammet got the same issue like you :) . While Analyzing what I found is , the location where we created the portlet in weblogic portal. If you created your portlet directly under WebContent folder then this issue is coming up, so try to create the portlet in a folder inside the WebContent folder, say create a folder with name portlets under webcontent and create the JSF portlet inside that portlets folder.
Now start the server and register the same in WebCenter, you will not get that exception. I am going to raise a ticket with Oracle about this issue and get the root cause.
Thanks

SQLpython in Open Source Projects for Oracle

I'd like to strongly reccommend SQLpython ( https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/PSSGroup/SqlPython ) be added to the Open Source Projects for Oracle page ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/community/opensource_projects.html ). It's an SQL command-line client whose chief strength is incredibly convenient extensibility / personalizability. I've reviewed it briefly at http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/2006/05/sqlpython-sql-client-of-your-very-own.html
Thanks very much!

We have made this addition.

Open Source solution for Map Display on Web

Hi
Does anybody knows an Open Source solution for displaying Maps on Web. Something like the MapXtreme equivalent of Open Source.
Regards,
N�stor Bosc�n

There are all sorts of solutions for displaying maps on the Web, starting from JPG files and going up from there. Would you reject JPG because it isn't open source? Or did you really mean to ask for no-payment solutions?

An open source framework for agile development with Sites

I am happy to announce the release of a new open source framework for sites development: AgileSites 1.0.0.beta1.
AgileSites is an open source framework built using standard and documented Sites API provinding a number of features meant to simplify development, mostly to make agile development and offshoring way easier and more manageable.
Some of the features:
- MVC with plain Java controller and pure HTML views
- Templating done in jQuery style (like client-side javascript templating)
- Integrated unit testing and build system
- Integrated csdt so everything is source and can be stored in Git or Subversion and rebuilt with jenkins in minutes
- Hot reloading of java classes, including the url assembler - you code in java without restarting the application server
- Single jar deployment - all your site code is in a jar that can be easily tracked and moved around
- A simplified API layer built on top of standard tag assets making development a breeze
- Complete and unlimited access to the full Sites API
- Keeps the JSP structure so the framework can be added to another site using JSP
AgileSites is available in his own dedicated site: www.AgileSites.org with a video showing his capabilites.

The framework is completely following WebCenter Sites standard. It is built on top of JSP and Java using only documented API and standard Java libraries. It is not different than any other site implementation. It is basically a pre-built site to make easier applying agile development practices. It is as supported by Oracle as any other custom website implementation on top of Sites.

What's the Best Open Source DB for use with Kodo?

Hi everyone,
In terms of ease of setup and use, tools to view info in the database, and least difficulty in
running with Kodo, what is the best open source database to use? I'm use to using Oracle and
SQLPlus. I need to use an open source DB for a learning environment, and I'd like your informed
opinion.
Thanks,
David Ezzio

I have been using postgresql 7.1 with Kodo for a while with mostly positive results, and currently
have it deployed with Kodo 2.2.3. I prefer it to mysql because its feature set is a little richer,
and supports transactions natively. My experience with mysql (without jdo - I haven't tried it with)
is good, but there were little things missing in mysql 3.x, e.g. the ability do do a join in a
DELETE statement.
BTW, there are some severe problems somewhere in the 2.2.4 release with postgresql if you intend to
eventually deploy on it. It also apparently has some problems invoking postgresql's indices, making
it a little less than optimal. But as a learning environment, it's what I'd recommend.

Here is the rundown of the databases I have experience with:
MySQL: Fairly simple to install (especially if you run Debian Linux), but
configuration, especially adding users, can be a pain. A separate open
source project called "mysql-navigator" makes it fairly easy to do
simple queries, inserts, etc. In most of my tests it outperforms
PostgreSQL, but your mileage will vary. It has a sane CLI that supports
modern features like line history, etc (unlike the horrific SQLPlus).
PostgreSQL: People often say that it is a more "academically
correct" database than MySQL. I've also found it to be quite a bit
easier to set up. Their GUI (called "pgaccess") is simplistic, but does
most things you need. Has a CLI similiar to MySQL's.
HypersonicSQL: By far the easiest to set up (just drop the jar in your
CLASSPATH), but is java only, can be rather slow, and has no GUI tools
available that I know of (except various free vanilla-JDBC GUI tools).
We feel that Kodo works quite well with all these DBs. The MySQL JDBC
driver seems a bit less buggy than Postgres', but their transaction
support is very recent and not very well tested. If I had to pick one or
the other, I would probably go with MySQL.

What happened to the Apple open source software page?

I have used a lot of the open source software that Apple listed on their website. The address used to be:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/
But that just directs to a cheesy downloads page with links to app store, etc.
Does anybody know what happend to this part of the Apple web site? Is it just moved and I'm too dumb to find it? I've tried to search these forums, and the googles, but nothing coherant comes through!

This is the developer page though, and doesn't contain the wealth of applications that were hosted (and kept up to date). These included GIMP, carbon emacs, etc.
I realize many of these are available from macports, or even by building from the source in many cases, but some of these programs seem to have been only hosted and updated from this page.

After upgrade 3rd party apps are looking for serials

Not wanting to jeopardize my Mavericks install, I cloned my main HD and after checking that the cloned drive did boot, I installed Yosemite to it. Despite all my apps showing up in the application folder, some won't open and some are requesting I reinstall the serial numbers. I used Carbon Copy and asked it to clone all files. Are there hidden files it missed or is this requirement to reregister all the 3rd party apps. normal?

Same problem here too!! Here's my Log:
