Tips for good linux/open source t-shirts

I'm looking for some tasteful/funny/goodlooking t-shirts with linux/open source designs for my companys (Microsoft Gold Partner) summer meeting.
Shouldn't be childish/abrasive, preferably it shouldn't even mention Microsoft/Windows.
I'd also appreciate quality materials and a good cut.
Anybody got some good tips?

Thanks for the link, but somehow none of those are 100% my thing..
Doing some googling, here's one I like:

Ok, it does mention Microsoft but I like Kill Bill
And this one is pretty awesome http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/266 … f3bd_m.jpg

Open source JavaCard applets

Hello all,
I'm looking for/collecting interesting open source JavaCard applets. The list I know for now is online: http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/JavaCard#InterestingJavaCardapplets
Any more interesting applets out there?

Hi,
The PLAID applet developed by Centrelink is interesting. PLAID is actually an authentication protocol but they have a reference implementation available as well.

Viewing open source code

I would like to know a website or book that I can actually see the source code that has been developed for the Java open source code. This would help me tremendously in understanding how everything is put together. Does anyone know of this source?

That would vary from application to application. You talk as if there is one "Java Open Source" application out there that we could point you to the source of. Of course there are many many many different applications out there, and there isn't one answer for you.

Good site for Video Editing tools (open source)

I'm a recent convert to Mac, and I'm having a hard time finding comparable tools to what is available via open source on the Windows side. Specifially in the H.264 arena. There are a multitude of open source encoding tools for Windows. I'm sure there have to be some for Mac. Are there any good sites that list these? I'm tried versiontracker and The Mac Orchard, but I'm hoping for something more specific like VideoHelp.com
Any suggestions? I'm looking for encoding software that can do inverse telecine, import DivX/Xvid/DV, Trim video (to remove letterboxing), and encode to H.264.
Thanks!

Can't help with the video stuff, but since you're a newcomer to the Mac, see these:

Why is it good for java to be open source?

if java becomes open source, will people take java, put viruses into it and send it to people?
i have use red unix and it is not as good as windows, though it does have its uses for calulcations, but why would we want java to go down this road?

Open sourcing the skype for linux UI AGAIN

i remember from some time ago i read something about the skype for linxu UI being open sourced to make supporting linux distro easier. but then microsoft bought skype. and now there is a closed source UI. please open source the UI so the comunity can fix the broken UI in skype for linux to a proper qt interface. the current qt web interface is annoying

It should look the same as all the other apps. Which is what most Linux users expect. Qt does offer on-the-fly theming, so if someone feels adventurous they can change it; and indeed the lack of 64 bit often results in some missing themes and Skype running in not exactly the same theme as the rest of the desktop. But otherwise, we shouldn't make Skype4Linux stick out like a sore thumb.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

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.

Help needed regarding some open source and good media streaming server

Hi
I am searching for some open source and java based media streaming server which can facilitate live video streaming. Can anyone please suggest me some good streaming server.
Thank you.

Some observations:
(1) The use of the Configuration.createRootApplicationModule() API is recommended only for console programs, not web applications, but it should work ok as long as your use of the appliation module is completely stateless (which from the code it looks like it is since you release the AM back to the pool on each request.)
(2) You mention "Stateful" mode, but Configuration.createRootApplicationModule() only supports stateless mode, so you are effectively using Stateless mode.
(3) You are passing true as the 2nd argument to Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule() which means you are asking to immediately remove the application module instance from the pool. This will hurt the scalability of your application since each request will need to be served by creating a brand new instance of the application module.
(4) You are explicitly calling disconnect(). This is not necessary.
I would recommend:
(1) Changing your 2nd argument to releaseRootApplicationModule() to false
(2) Remove the explicit call to disconnect()
(3) Given your usage pattern, I'd recommend calling viewobject.setForwardOnly(true) before calling viewobject.executeQuery() and iterating over the results. This will avoid any caching of the fetched view object results. Also ensure you've read section "27.2 Tuning Your View Objects for Best Performance" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers guide on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html for more performance tips
For example, if you are fetching 65 rows, make sure the fetch size of this view object is at least 66 so you can retried all the rows in one DB roundtrip.

DBAShell - New Open Source Project for Oracle DBA's

I'd like to have this project included in the Open Source Oracle tools list at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/community/opensource_projects.html
I've been an Oracle DBA for quite some time (since 7.0.13) and a developer for many years. One of the things I've always wished for was an easier way to set up environment variables for different Oracle Homes and a way to provide passwords to scripts without embedding them in plain-view.
About 3 years ago, I started a set of functions and scripts at my company that did exactly just that and provided many more functions for things like checking database status, running scripts quietly unless errors are detected, running actions in parallel (like fast shutdowns at once, or multiple analyzes), restarting databases in a guaranteed fashion, aliases to common folder locations, etc..
About a month ago, after putting all this time and effort into these scripts and using them in production all this time, I realized I wanted more out of the scripts like support for other databases and thought that it would be best if I gave it new life as an Open Source project.
So that is how http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbashell/ was started. Now its in a second release (DBAShell 0.85) that is more modular and would allow other people to easily add support for other OSs, other Shells, and other Databases.
Here is a description of the project from the latest news item:
DBAShell is a project based around Shell functions and scripts designed to make it easy for DBA's to use Databases in a command line environment. Currently supported is Oracle with ksh and bash on AIX, Solaris, Linux. The code base itself is 3 years old and has been in use in Production environments all of that time.
Features include:
* Automatic setting of all environment variables based on SID requested.
* Manage PATH's and other path like variables for each ORACLE_HOME needed.
* Run scripts with stored passwords (no more hard-coding of passwords!!)
* Automatically set SID based on Script location (makes it easier to share scripts between SID's)
* manage temporary script output and check for oracle errors in output
* check database status and versions from scripts
* stop/start databases in parallel (faster startup)
* compile all database objects
* analyze objects in parallel (Faster analyzes)
* set aliases and variables for common SID areas, etc..
* many helpful commands for common Oracle tasks
Over a thousand people have already downloaded the prior release and more are downloading every hour.
I'm seeking feedback from anybody that would be willing to take a look at the project, trying it out, give me any feedback you have on it, and perhaps even direct me to where I could best promote this project.
I wrote a tutorial that shows at a glance some of the more useful features of DBAShell:

Always glad to have people thinking about the poor DBA's. Usually, the developers get most of the attention in open source.

A verb conjugator in C (was: Ideas for an open source project in C)

Hi,
I have to write a relatively complex program in C for my university programming course. We can either use a given topic (a hotel management software - quite some work, but not very challenging) or something of our own choice provided it is not too simple.
Being a good open source citizen, I want to do something from which other people might profit.
My first thought was a xmms2 client after an idea I had for a long time, but that's no fun without objects, particularly because xmms2 uses boost as well. I'm not sadistic enough to do this. (I like object orientated programming...:()
We can use external libraries (e.g. ncurses, GTK2), but should use ansi C (that's C89) and it should run on Windows as well, but I might talk my way out of these two things if necessary.
I'll do a lot of brainstorming myself, but I would appreciate it a lot if you could give me ideas. It would be a pity to waste this opportunity with a useless hotel management software if I could create something usefull instead.
Thanks a lot for any ideas.
kind regards

I'm still not very familiar with the Italian conjugation, but judging from Spanish it's a pretty simple thing to do, at least when you only think about outputting all the conjugated forms for an infinitive. I'll make an example with Spanish, but it's almost the same for Italian:
procedure:
Step 1: Check for suffix -ar/-er/-ir and the root of the verb and apply the default rules as defined in the data file. (i.e. suffixes -o,-as,-a,-amos,-áis,-an for -ar and present and so on)
Step 2: Check the data file for an entry for this verb and replace any irregular forms. (This means replacing all forms for a irregular verb or maybe only the participle - imho the most efficient way while still KISS)
Example: comer
Step 1: suffix -er, root com; use rules in data file for -er
Step 2: verb is not in database, regular
Example: escribir
Step 1: suffix -ir, root escrib; use rules for -ir
Step 2: verb is in database, only exception to regular conjugation is the particible "escrito"
Example: ir
Step 1: suffix -ir, no root; apply rules for -er (Doesn't make sense, but it is irregular anyway)
Step 2: verb is in database, about everything is replaced
Recognizing the forms, i.e. doing a reverse search is a bit harder this way, but actually really interesting.
ibendiben: I like the idea, but I wouldn't realize this in C, but a follow-up project written in PHP is very well possible. I'll have the data files and algorithms already, so it's not too much work.
But I wanted to do some work on the aMule skin code as well or we might actually release 2.2.0 before I'm finished...
Edit: I think I'll use a webfrontend (I'll worry about windows later...): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/syste … -nweb.html

Open source video chat from linux to iphone?

I would like to find an open source video chat client that I can run on my Arch laptop that will allow me to video chat with friends running iOS. Is there such a thing? Skype is not open source. Googlechat is not open source.

Hi,
I'm in the same situation. Do you ever found a solution? I only need direct communication, point to point, chatrooms or something are not needed but nice to have.
Skype is not a solution neither is Google Hangouts.
I came across Mumble. I thought at first you can create channels for yourself on public servers but unfortunately not. Most servers won't allow you to create a channel for yourself. So your best bet here is to run your own server (which means additional expenses for me).
Ekiga seems nice but there is no iOS client.
The closest thing so far is Linphone, which has clients for Linux and iOS, but you need a SIP account somewhere.
Any experiences with this?
Thanks for any input.

I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
Quote from the linked article
But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
query plans from consideration.
Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
a performant fashion.
