Smart Gnome Control v0.3 - First Beta
Release

Smart Gnome Control v0.3 - First Beta
Release 01/06/2005 07:44 PM
Smart Gnome Control is a graphical user interface to multiple communications receivers via the Hamlib library. The specific purpose is to let you control your communications receiver from a personal computer, and to simplify the hobby of shortwave radio listening. The Smart Gnome Control interface is designed to automatically reconfigure according to the known capabilities of your receiver. It is also designed to provide database-driven tuning, memory and logging capabilities, based on FineWare's (discontinued) Smart Control series of receiver control packages for Windows. The Smart Gnome Control interface is written for Linux and Cygwin in GNU C/C++, using Glade, Gdk/Gtk+ and Gnome widgets. It also requires version 1.2.2 of Hamlib. Smart Gnome Control requires: * hamlib 1.2.2 * gtk+ 1.2 (not 2.0) * gnome 1.4 (not 2.0) * gdk-pixbuf 0.8 or later * GConf 1.0.4 or later (not 2.0) These packages (except hamlib) are included in every modern non-specialized linux distribution. You will also need the so-called development files of each package which include the header files and static libraries. I hope you'll have fun using Smart Gnome Control. If you find any bugs or have any comments feel free to contact me. Bugs and feature requests should be submitted using the bug tracker on the project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sgcontrol. Hamlib-related bugs should be sent to the hamlib developer mailing list at hamlib-developer@lists.sourceforge.net. New in this release: - Added logging capability - Added stepsize popups to tuning bar buttons - Made Backspace and arrows usable in tuning - Moved all file operations to local user directory, ~/.sgcontrol The latest release can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117426&package_ id=127837

X-Plane 8.11 Release-Candidate-3 (Beta
branch) 04/12/2005 05:18 PM
X-Plane is a flight simulator that reads in the geometric shape of any aircraft and then figures out how that aircraft will fly. It does this via an engineering process called "blade element theory", which involves breaking the aircraft down into many small elements and then finding the forces on each little element many times per second. These forces are then converted into accelerations, which are then integrated to velocities and positions. This gives X-Plane the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.

Scilab 3.1 Release Candidate 1 (Beta
branch)

Scilab 3.1 Release Candidate 1 (Beta
branch) 04/10/2005 09:50 PM
Scilab is a numerical computation system similiar to Matlab or Simulink. Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions, and programs from various languages (such as C or Fortran) can be added interactively. It has sophisticated data structures (including lists, polynomials, rational functions, and linear systems), an interpreter, and a high-level programming language. Scilab has been designed to be an open system where the user can define new data types and operations on these data types by using overloading. A number of toolboxes are available with the system.

---

Changes:
There is a new interface to call Scilab from Java. The TCL interface has been totally rewritten. There is an improved Scipad editor, a new debugger, major graphics improvements, major Scicos improvements, improved efficiency of sparse operators, improved matlab2sci translator, new import of Excel files, and more. The source compiles on 64-bit architectures, and the Windows version has been optimized.

How History Gets Twisted

How History Gets Twisted 08/15/2004 11:47 AM
A short way into this review of a new book about Microsoft, a Boston Globe correspondent writes:

"A guilty finding was overturned on appeal, and the government settled with the company, imposing restrictions on its business practices. The resulting introspection persuaded Gates to stand aside as chief executive in favor of Steve Ballmer, who would be his partner in remaking the company."

The number of misstatements in just these two sentences is fairly amazing.

The judge's ruling that Microsoft had repeatedly violated the law was not overturned. (And there are no "guilty" or "not guilty" findings in civil antitrust cases to start with; this wasn't a criminal matter, though it probably should have been.) The appeals court specifically agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft was a serial offender, though it did back Microsoft's position in a small portion of the charges.

The Bush administration's "settlement" was a cave-in, giving back what it had already won in court.

The "impositions" on Microsoft's business practices are widely seen outside the company (and probably inside) as next to meaningless, and certainly haven't had any visible effect on competition in an industry that Microsoft still controls.

Ballmer became CEO in 2000, before Judge Jackson ordered the breakup of the company, and long before the appeals court overruled him. I bring all this up mainly to point back to the first item -- the notion that the company was cleared of wrongdoing. This has become popular "wisdom," and it's incorrect. Every judge that has had to rule on this has agreed that Microsoft broke the law to maintain its monopoly. Let's at least remember that much.

Major new features in this release include the replacement of the home-grown component system with zope.interface, a split of subprojects into separate packages with separate release cycles, project-wide relicensing to the MIT license, Python 2.4 compatibility fixes, and major efficiency improvements in the TCP buffering algorithm and DelayedCall handling. Many other minor feature enhancements, bugfixes, and documentation improvements are also included.

How Copyright Policy Gets Twisted

How Copyright Policy Gets Twisted 06/26/2004 10:52 AM

The Register's Andrew Orlowski analy zes the latest, and perhaps most serious, threat from the copyright cartel. The legislation, sponsored by senators from both major U.S. political parties (here's my previous posting about this horrid bill), is aimed at peer to peer technology but has a much wider application. As Andrew notes, citing warnings from critics of this legislation, "It may soon be possible to carry around an AK-47 assault rifle and an iPod with you down the street - and be arrested for carrying the iPod." He asks how this could be happening, given that Orrin Hatch, the key sponsor, once seemed to be on the side of fair use and other users' rights. Part of it is money, no doubt. Andrew aims a well-deserved barb at the technology community for not taking its case to Congress in a more organized way, and this is also true. But I think he underestimates two things. First, the tech industry's leaders have not just stopped fighting Hollywood and the record companies. They've embraced the cartel. This spectacular piece of cowardice, driven by a warped sense of what's in the tech moguls' best business interests, means that technology innovation must essentially be approved by the cartel or modified so as not to annoy the copyright industry. Second, technologists have a remarkably short attention span. They flit from idea to idea, changing products and business models at the drop of a hat because they live in an ever-morphing universe where rapid change is the norm. The copyright cartel has, if nothing else, a deep and abiding motivation to maintain control. It is relentless. It has basically one issue, and pockets deep enough to stay with the fight. I tend to respect Hollywood and the music companies for their single-mindedness, even though I have little respect for their position on this matter. I have growing distaste for the technology industry, which seems to have few principles of any kind. And the public interest gets squashed.

Growth

New Cochlear Implants Encourage Nerve
Growth 04/14/2005 01:25 PM

In a move sure to encourage youth everywhere to keep their amps cranked up... to eleven, scientists working on a cochlear implant have developed a device that can actually help "reverse the death and degeneration of hearing cells that occurs after prolonged deafness." A small electric current releases specialized molecules that stimulate the nerve regrowth. Professor Gordon Wallace tells Australian ABC:

We inject small amounts of electricity into the structure and that causes the release of the molecules and makes them available to the nerve cells.

The polymer controls the timing of release, and where the molecules are released, to maximise interaction with nerve cells.

The implications in assisting people with severe hearing loss and nerve damage are obviously staggering, but even more importantly, the technology isn't limited to hearing cells and nerves—they mention spinal cord repair as well. Check the ABC article for more details.
