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

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

* 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.

That means that H.264 codecs can now be written, distributed and revised freely under any license their authors choose, including GPL, public domain, or any other, and $free now that royalties are no longer required. How does H.264

Did I sound like our President? :) <spin> I didn''t explain myself well. I am not thinking of buying the identically equipped PC laptop either at the same price. If I had a $2500-$3000 budget (laptop, Applecare + case etc) I might consider the Mac, but then in the PC laptop universe there are more options of going with the slower processors (T2300 or T2400) for about $1,000 less

I have a simple user registration controller with scaffold code. The only change I made to the view is to add a second password field for confirmation. I do have a db table called users with all the fields except ofcourse the extra password field. The field has a different name so it does not get into the user hash. The ''user.new'' action works fine and displays the form. The

I am looking to start an Asheville.rb group for Rubyists and Railers in the Asheville, NC area. Any one interested, please contact me on this thread or off list. Thanks, bakki kudva

I have been using rails on Debian Sarge since May of last year. I initially gem installed rails as root and since then I have been gem updating the installation. I have had no trouble with the installation or development. Now feel that I''d like to use svn to get edgerails to be able to use nifty features such as RJS. Some of the threads on the subject talk about svn:externals in the

I have the following scaffold generated code which does not run. It does not even hit the breakpoint. def create breakpoint() @student = Student.new(params[:student]) if @student.save flash[:notice] = ''Student was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list'' else render :action => ''new'' end

I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked. What was irritating was that there were no useful messages. Nothing to the browser, nothing in logs, and even the breakpoints wouldn''t hit. Finally by a process of elemination I found

[I posted to Rails Engines Forum but didn''t get a response so I am posting here] I installed both login and user engines and got them working. Thanks for an excellent job! Now, I have some questions on how to customize them without breaking the code or making future upgrades messy. I have several questions and any help will be greatly appreciated. I am designing a student registration

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

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

This is a high traffic list as it is and it is really annoying to see that SPAM is on the rise here. I wonder how they can spam the list since each user has to be authenticated. Do spammers go through the trouble of subscribing to the list? In any case, this msg is to the list admin...could you please do whatever it takes to filter this stuff out? Thank you very much. -bakki
