The specific standards process used to develop the MPEG codecs creates patent minefields that royalty-free codecs don't generally face. Because many knowledgeable people have heard of the problems faced by these patent-soup standards, they may extrapolate these risk to codecs developed under a different process where these problems are less considerable. This is a mistake, and I...

Anyway, I think it's better to use sscanf here, so: if (sscanf (out, "ID %" SCNi64, &ret) != 2) { // error ... } > + if (r != LONGINT_OK) { > + reply_with_error ("...

I'm interested in knowing what sort of import duty they attracted, if anybody has the TARIC classification number that would be useful, I tried to work it out but it's a minefield. Cheers! Roy...

...thread). As a further possibility, there are choices in the UCA (in R, see ?icuSetCollate) and ICU can be compiled with different default choices. It is not clear to me what (if any) difference ICU versions make, but in R-devel extSoftVersion() reports that. > In general, collation is a minefield: Some languages have the same letters in different order (e.g. Estonian with Z between S and T); accented characters sort with the unaccented counterpart in some languages but as separate characters in others; some locales sort ABab, others AaBb, yet others aAbB; sometimes punctuation is ignored, s...

...s not working). Someone has just posted in the SugarCRM forums that they had exactly the same problems on CentOS 4.2 and they fixed them by upgrading from PHP 4.3.9 to 5.0.5. Being a more cautious chap, I'd like to try an upgrade to PHP 4.4.2 first but want to make sure I'm not entering a minefield with PHP as I can't find a friendly yum update so I would appreciate a heads-up on how best to go about it without screwing the whole thing up - I am reading through the notes on the PHP web site but would appreciate it if someone would outline exactly what rpms or binaries I need to install a...

Hi, The llvm-project monorepo (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project) is currently missing a top-level license file. It would be nice if there was one so that anyone unfamiliar with layout of the monorepo could find it right away. I have put up a patch that adds a LICENSE.txt file to the monorepo root: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64875. The file is copy of LICENSE.txt from the llvm/ directory. Are

This may be interesting to some. I recently discovered AllCast.com which has developed a p2p streaming solution. Unfortunately they decided to use WMA due to it's video capability but hopefully they could be presuaded to switch to Vorbis later when Tarkin is available. For audio though, it appears a good way to reduce bandwidth requirements at the broadcasting end and potentially

Hello guys, Does anyone has an Asterisk server hosted off-site ? Like in those data centers that do web hosting in dedicated servers ? Is there a hosting company that has a special plan to host voip services like this, or usually is hosted in those dedicated servers like the ones I asked above ? What about QoS ? I know that most (if not all) are connected to their switch through a

Hi, We at Rust are using LLVM for our codegen. Since Rust version 1.19.0, which should ship in July 21st, we are using a slightly patched version of LLVM 4.0. The transition to LLVM 4.0 had been fairly pain-free on x86 (at least excluding the standard suite of assertion failures using MSVC SEH, but that's fairly under control), but we have encountered several scary bugs in ARM, most

But then you get into a minefield, since all kinds of optimizations can expose stuff that causes other optimizers to do stuff that causes other optimizers to do stuff that (... repeat many times) that ends up allowing the loop vectorizer to do more. Anyway, since "opt" is a developer tool I think it is reasonable to req...

it could be a bit of a minefield - i seem to remember reading of the requests for some fairly wide patents a couple of years back by um, vtrails, on anything that involves browsers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/message/20 the most effective multicast sevice i've seen is swarmcast - a slashdot thread on the topic of so...

...amina, also look into the python question that it links to. As I understand it, there are two potential reasons: Either the two platforms are not using the same collation table for en_US, or at least one of them is not fully implementing the Unicode Collation Algorithm. In general, collation is a minefield: Some languages have the same letters in different order (e.g. Estonian with Z between S and T); accented characters sort with the unaccented counterpart in some languages but as separate characters in others; some locales sort ABab, others AaBb, yet others aAbB; sometimes punctuation is ignored, s...

Felipe --- It would appear that you are unaware that you are walking a minefield of entrenched positions and personality conflicts. For those like myself who are mystified by the positions taken in this thread, a partial back story may be helpful. In 2012, Han-Tak Leung reported a problem compiling the development version of R that he had checked out using git's svn compa...

Hi, I'm not a crypto expert, so after reading this interview with Bruce Schneier ( http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/324 ) I'm wondering if OpenSSH has the same problem he talks about, that is one public-key algorithm. Doesn't OpenSSH use RSA, DSA, and DH ? Also, is there any plan to include those new NSA standards based on ECC ?
