Hey, just came across this article. http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=ZLCZZJMVGJYNYQSNDLSCKHA?articleID=201202250 . Many of you would be already aware of this. It mentions flac also. i feel it is a good segment(stereo wireless headsets over bluetooth) to push flac given very light decoder and using encoder at low compression(to reduce complexity). Though very less is

Any thoughts on articles like this one - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/21/microsoft_goes_open/. This mentions the Vista API, but I wonder about earlier API's. I also saw something the other day about source code for .Net being released as a "learning tool". Of course, all of this is in a bid to get Office XML approved as an ISO standard. They don't just give stuff away

The Skype network is circulating a virus that has appeared there before: http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=198500135 . The virus sends a URL to other Skype users in the infected user's contacts, which the target Skype displays as clickable. Clicking downloads the virus. Asterisk supports features like these, in combination with certain clients (which aren't

Here's t link: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JUEFVG ENEA01YQSNDBCCKH0CJUMEKJVN?articleID=165702588 The bottom line is that they compare retail VOIP providers like Comcast Cable, Time-Warner Cable, AT&T, Vonage, Packet8 et al. Their methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services don't yet match the PSTN for reliability &

* Brethren, It's a sad day in our community. Please join me in a moment of silence for the death of responsible journalism. Silence.....................good enough. This article goes on to tell about Pingtel's announcement of forming the "first open source community aimed at creating SIP based servers".

I have two phones, one does not need stun, the other one needs. All settings are identically, except the number/password and said above stun - not stun I use codec in the order: g729 g711u g711a Any ideas, why the user can hear me, but I cannot hear him (stun) while the other user without stun has no problem. bye Ronald

Hi, Sorry for maybe not a very list related topic, but I have always been curious if there is information on how many Asterisk based PBXs are operating Worldwide? Thanks and hope the community will not reject my curiosity! :) Best Regards, Vallu Sevana Oy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, all I am a pabx vendor from Singapore.

Here are a few sentences from a Sept. 17, 2004 article in th EETimes. http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=47900195 ******************** begin excerpts ************************ Victor Company of Japan, Ltd.

anyone know of a solution where mobile handsets out roaming the pstn cellular network can be used and treated as full fleged centrex extentions, i.e. I can transfer a call that comes in on a wired centrex copper pair out to a cell phone and the cell phone can transfer the call back or vice versa where the cell phone recieves the call directly and can transfer to the office all without hairpinning

Hi everybody, As the Asterisk community is getting larger and larger, I was wondering that the features which are provided in Asterisk and are programmed by the open source community under GPL, or GUIs like FreePBX which also come loaded with wonderful features and uses same Asterisk, are they anywhere violating any patent laws? Most of the features work the same way as Nortel, Avaya and other

Hi folks, I was curious what's known about the patent situation with the DV format. Google turns up a number of press articles describing it as an "open standard with no associated licensing fees" but also, for example, US Patent number 5,691,81 which, while I've not done a careful comparison of the claims, sounds like it covers the block-rearrangement scheme that's the

I've got a data frame describing comments on an electronic journal, wherein each row is a unique comment, like so: commentID author articleID 1 1 smith 2 2 2 jones 3 3 3 andrews 2 4 4 jones 1 5 5 johnson 3 6 6 smith 2 I want know the number of unique authors per article. I can get a

I have found a site that list the following (no date in the post, so it may be old): "since all transcoding and calls still go through one core in asterisk, it doesn't make sense to buy a multi-core or hyperthreaded system that will only slow you down" Does that still applies in asterisk 1.2.14/1.4.x ? Or do we have to tweak source code to balance loads (transcoding,etc) between

Patenting a mathematical formula is NOT creating a machine nor is it unique. For example. 2+2=4... apples + apples^2= given outcome. I want to patent this. It's stupid to patent something like that. The same is true for formula algorithms. Algorithms occur in nature. Thus should not be patented. Now, Volley G Mathison inventor of the Electropsychometer had a machine that he could patent. A

I guess you've all read it already, but here it goes: "All video codecs are covered by patents. A patent pool is being assembled to go after Theora and other ?open source? codecs now. Unfortunately, just because something is open source, it doesn?t mean or guarantee that it doesn?t infringe on others patents. An open standard is different from being royalty free or open source.
