$50 Aerial Digital Photography from a Balloon
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/25/1944236
jizmonkey writes "[0]This guy built a [1]balloon to take digital aerial
photographs from thousands of feet up. It cost less than $50
altogether, including the image sensor, controller, and balloon. The
circuit is surprisingly straightforward: just a hacked [2]Vivitar
minicamera, a [3]555 timer chip driving a relay through a voltage
regulator, and a one-meter party balloon like the ones you see at used
car dealerships. It just so happens that the entire circuit, strapped
to a piece of a pizza box and tied to a really long string, is light
enough to be lifted by the balloon. What could low-cost aerial
photography be used for? I'm sure [4]some people have some ideas...."

[0]prostoalex writes "The [1]battle of ZIP formats might intensify as
[2]PKWare filed an application with USPTO to obtain a patent on its
Secure Zip technology, which pretty much involves archiving with strong
cryptography. If the patent gets granted, PKWare will license its

Aladdin Systems summed it up: "The good thing about the .zip file

reputation in the Open Source community, mostly because of their
handling of Motif, which remained proprietary for much too long. But
there's no arguing with the success of our community, and now the Open
Group leadership understands that their organization must be fully
involved in Open Source... or it's time for them to change their name.
To that end, the Open Group contracted me to develop an Open Source
strategy for their organization. The [1]draft strategy has been
published and they are requesting comment. - Bruce"

convmv 1.05
http://freshmeat.net/releases/130479/
convmv converts filenames (not file content), directories, and even
whole filesystems to a different encoding. This comes in very handy if,
for example, one switches from an 8-bit locale to an UTF-8 locale. It
has some smart features: it automagically recognises if a file is
already UTF-8 encoded (thus partly converted filesystems can be fully
moved to UTF-8) and it also takes care of symlinks. Additionally, it is
able to convert from normalization form C (UTF-8 NFC) to NFD and
vice-versa. This is important for interoperability with Mac OS X, for
example, which uses NFD, while Linux and most other Unixes use NFC.
Though it's primary written to convert from/to UTF-8 it can also be
used with almost any other charset encoding. Note that this is a
command line tool which requires at least Perl version 5.8.0.

macstl 0.1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/130533/
MacSTL is a C++ source library designed to bring the Macintosh into the
world of modern generic programming. It offers a new implementation of
std::valarray optimized for the Altivec. Even with Altivec
optimizations off, it is almost 2x faster than gcc, due to the ruthless
weeding out of redundant loads and stores. Much of the code base is
cross-platform and the Altivec optimizations are encapsulated in a
traits class, making it straightforward to target other vector
processors like Intel SSE2, GPUs, etc. The Mach copy-on-write vector is
a partial specialization of std::vector for the Mach allocator. It
neatly uses the OS vm_copy facility to "get around" thread
safety issues when doing copy-on-write and reference counting. As a
result, std::vector can be copied, passed back by value and enlarged
without the same overheads.

Why governments should be allowed to specify Open Source software
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/19/1713232
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - The idea of governments giving preference
to Open Source over proprietary software angers short-sighted 'free

have always been expected to meet special conditions, and requiring
software vendors to make all code they sell to governments Open Source
is no worse than many other government purchasing conditions. Let's
start by talking about glue.
