Hi everyone. Reading all this posts about patent issues, I thought of something: if, by some wild chance FhG (or some other audio company) manages to prove in court that vorbis is breaking their patent rights, you could do something like LAME developers did: release only source code and let people do the compiling so that only users that are living in countries where patents on algorithms are

The rates are in arbitration, and I doubt they will come out anywhere near that amount. It just isn't feasible, even for large companies. Reember, tradidional

Hi, a very basic question: What ist the easiest way in R to concatenate two lists of vectors? E.g, I have x<-list(c(1,2)) y<-list(c(3,4)) and I want to receive list(c(1,2),c(3,4)) thank you!

dear R-tists, i want to graph information for the German Federal States (Bundeslaender) using the maps package. unfortunately there is no maps for the German Bundeslaender. does anyone have an idea / a source where to get map data that can be used in the maps package that graphs structures below the country level. in the long run it would also be interesting to integrate Swiss Cantons and

Hi, I am about to write functions for multivariate kernel densitiy estimation with mixed categorical and continuous date (accoring to Jeff Racine and Qi Li), and the leave-one-out window esitmation needs a lot of computation. I am now optimizing the code performance and therefore fhe following questions: As R uses call-by-value for functions, is it computational expensive to pass large matrices

There's three considerations. 1. This project has around fifty broadcasters. It has been running for 3.5 years, and whilst some have moved to using plugins like SAM which (presumably) does

Hi, I've the following problem. samba 2.0.3 runs on a sun. The security is server. The PDC is a NT-machine. Sometimes when users try to connect to a share they get the answer the password is incorrect. After a restart of smbd all works fine.

Here in the uk, to get a patent on anything, you have to prove that the patent is not obvious and that there is no prior art. If there is prior art, then a patent cannot be given, this is why people patenting stuff have to keep it a secret until they actually have the patent, otherwise it is considered to have been released into the public domain. Once something is in the public domain, nobody

Hi everyone, first of all, I searched through the archives for any posts resembling this, I didn't read all posts about the patents so if this has been suggested before I apologise. I read in an article on C|Net (I think, it was linked from Slashdot anyway) that Thompson are threatening to sue you if Ogg Vorbis becomes a success. Which is evil, and I'm also mad at them because they never

Hi all, -------- beacause I am a newbie in the asterisk ralm and the existing documentation could not satisfy I'd like to ask you some Questions: 1. Does somewhere in the Internet exist additional documentations for asterisk configuration ? 2. Does Asterisk work as a standard SIP Proxy ? 3. I am just installing a Asterisk PBX in our institute and additionally I purchased some ot the Snom

Hi there! I'd like to make a test. There's a song that has very audible artifacts when encoded using many MP3 encoders. Even if you use 160 Kbps bitrate. The song is: Lara Fabian - Love by Grace. The highest frequencies seems to be cut off when using Xing, Lame or even Fhg! I don't have that CD, but I'd like to know (or hear) how that song would sound when encoded using Vorbis.

Hi There, The discussion about speex triggered the following question: Is there a way to use other encoders, to stream with icecast / oddcast. Is there an format of witch the encoder shoul be standarized to (ACM or something like that), if so would it be possible to use open license encoders and commercail encoders with this. like FHG mp3, mp3pro, speex and so on. regards, Dennis Heerema

Hi all, ------ I tried to use * over satellite, but all my effort did not succeed. The Asterisk is behind the VSAT and is resposibel for alle the SIP clients in a field location. The clients are notebooks and PDA's running SJPhoen for Windows and PocketPC. Unfortunately I could not find any Linux Client wich worked satisfying. SJ LAbs promised a Linux Version at the end of August but they

Hi, I have a samba installation on a sun E250. It works in servermodus to authenticate users with a Windows-PDC. Now I've the problem when a user connects to a networkdrive on the sun, sometimes it works, but sometimes it fails. then he would ask to input his password again and after 3 times his account is deactivated on the PDC. in the logfile from the pdc I see during a connect first
