This is part of ISM and it's a fairly common frequency for low power tx/rx modules http://www.google.com/search?q=433.92+MHz&ie=utf-8&o... Even car keys operate around this frequency.

You can check the author's blog, he has a few videos on how he made it, in particular one where he uses a kinect interface: http://blog.aleksandarrodic.com/?p=60 I'm running firefox 4 (linux ubuntu 64bit) and it works fine.

There's more info at one of the co-authors website: http://bicycle.tudelft.nl/ I submitted this earlier, with the title of the paper, I guess it was too technical to catch people's attention :)

I appreciate the effort, but I would be happy if I could only download a .ogv/.mp4 file. I honestly don't understand why these "presentations" and "webminars" use these crappy delivery mechanisms.

Well, http://ekiga.org/ekiga-softphone-features#audio_codecs and http://ekiga.org/ekiga-softphone-features#video_codecs might change your mind. You can choose between these codecs and speex is particularly good. Not only that, it uses l

Ekiga is great, I actually prefer it to skype, as I can more easily set video/audio quality and it uses an open and standard protocol. They have binaries for any major linux distro , mac and windows, and it's fairly easy to compile from sou

You can use "system connections" so your wifi doesn't go down when switching between users, it works for me (I have a mix of kubuntu and ubuntu machines). I find it strange that nm-applet crashes, did you submit a bug report?

You can do all that, but programming one of these old computers or a modern micro controller allows you to almost see the bits and bytes flowing (if you program in asm). Nowadays it's even hard to know how a pixel got to the monitor from yo

Why using boost is overkill? You use std::XXX and the STL, do you consider these too? For the two cases you mentioned, boost comes with nice functions to solve them (lexical_cast, which uses stringstream and the boost tokenizer). tokeni

I strongly recommend this or 6RD. It's a very straightforward and easy way of getting into IPv6 before ISPs start offering IPv6, as comcast did recently ( http://www.comcast6.net/ ).

It depends what you mean about progress. Digital communications evolved and it's nice to have data capability that can span the globe with a 100W radio (PSK shortwave). The bandwidth is not there, unless you go up in frequency, but then the

You can always compile boost and install it locally, the full 64bit version only takes about 100MB: $ du -hsc boost/1.45.0/* 68M boost/1.45.0/include 37M boost/1.45.0/lib 104M total Add cmake/autoconf and it's fairly
