I guess, it *is* more than I would have expected from someone of your "special-ness". Were the people at the spastic society proud of you for accomplishing that? did they give you a gold star? You *really are* a fucking retard, you know that, don't you? from the netalert website that YOU LINKED TO: Examples of netiquette include: * responding appropriately to requests Congratulations, Lorn, you complete fucking idiot, you fucking liar, you absolute wanker - You've just demonstrated, once again, for the entire world's verification, that you're the stupidest motherfucker on it. I can't believe you would link to a page which confirms that you broke "netiquette" first, and that any response telling you that you're a fucking liar, or a fucking wanker , or a fucking retard is entirely justified and warranted. Actually, I can believe it - why stop contradicting yourself just because you look like a retard? I have links, too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot_ (usage) Given that you insist on ignoring the issues at hand: Wow, I have to give you credit - you certainly are good at completely ignoring damning evidence and not answering questions directly put to you multiple times. Ever considered a career in politics? You'd fit in really well there! How Long does it take to type your address on your freerunner, using the methods described...errr...three(?) emails ago? and now, how long does it take on your PC? How long did it take you to type up my sample sms on your FR running QTe? and why did you do that "Many Times", as you claim? seems like wasted effort to me... [snip useless drivel] This "useless drivel" Lorn refers to is me demonstrating that Lorn is either lying or a complete retard. The fact that he refuses to even acknowledge this and attempted to trim it from all further correspondence indicates to me that it's malice, not stupidity. I'll restore this in the vain hope that perhaps he might address it, rather than ignore it as he has consistently done all afternoon: No one said to use the little qwerty keyboard with fingers. I BEG YOUR PARDON?!?!? Lorn Potter wrote at 12:41pm: Then you can easily switch to the qwerty keyboard. Lorn Potter wrote at 12:41pm: You can even use this with big fingers and hit in between letters and it will still work (suggestively) well. Now, we were discussing the predictive keyboard, and you told me that I "could easily switch to the qwerty keyboard"... which qwerty keyboard were you referring to, exactly, if not the little qwerty keyboard? There are only two: the predictive keyboard and the qwerty keyboard. Unless you're trying to tell me that there's a difference between 'keyboard' and 'docked keyboard'. I call "bullshit". Lorn, you're either completely full of shit, or you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Due to the old adage "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity", I'll give you an opportunity to publicly apologise and explain exactly what the hell you're on about... the way it works, because IT DOESN'T WORK THE WAY YOU'RE SAYING. It does. No, it doesn't. You're either a liar or a fucking retard. I lean towards "Liar". If you're a liar, you're *also* a fucking retard - when lying, the non-retard would come up with a *credible* lie, which you're not even bothering with... Or is it that you're just not clever enough? You have absolutely no idea which parts of Qtopia I worked on, so you cannot say I have done a bad job, when in fact, I had no contact with this code. I didn't say "Bad", I said "shit", which is worse than bad. and, Yeah, I can: Watch me: "You've done a shit job." Regardless of any contact you may or may not have had with the code, or your contributions or lack thereof to qtopia, you have done a shit job. Firstly, where's the QTe release that was coming in December? why such inadequate communication? You've done a shit Job. Secondly, you've done an absolutely abysmal job today. Refusing to acknowledge or address my concerns, as far as I'm concerned, means that you're just a fucking wanker who has no sense of pride in his work, and would rather pretend that a product is adequate, when it's clearly not, than even acknowledge it's faults. This is a *SHIT JOB*, and you've done it. Hence, sing it with me: *YOU HAVE DONE A SHIT JOB* I suppose, 'those that cannot do, just complain and expect someone else to fix things for them'. See, yet again, you're wrong... I guess nobody should be suprised by this at this point, because you have such a legacy of being wrong this afternoon, not to mention deceptive, ignorant, arrogant, immoral, rude, and stupid. Which is what I'd expect of the complete and utter wanker you've demonstrated yourself to be this afternoon. All I wanted was acknowledgment that the problem I described exists. I never said "Fix it Now", or anything or the sort. I raised an issue with the software, based on real-world usage, and you effectively told me that it wasn't a problem, that the problem I'm having is a result of how I'm using it. I suggested a way that this problem could be fixed, with a very minimal change, and keep everybody happy, and you failed to even acknowledge that I had made a suggestion. Instead, you dismissed it offhand by trying to tell me that I need to use it differently (providing information which does *not* solve the issue I raised), demonstrating your contempt for the process of user-feedback and a complete lack of professionalism. Other people agreed with me, and still you have categorically refused to acknowledge the problem, or even to perform the tests I have provided in order to demonstrate it. You have not directly answered one single question I have posed to you with relation to the issues I raised, preferring to avoid actually discussing the issue by instead focusing on my choice of words. Basically, you're: a) Full of shit: Deceptive and evasive. b) Quite stupid to think I would swallow the shit you're trying to feed me c) Incompetent. A developer worth his salt would acknowledge the issue and at least consider ways of dealing with it, rather than trying to bury his head in the sand d) Unsuited to be in a public-facing role, as you clearly lack the decorum to respond adequately to criticism. Sarton even pointed this out to you, and still you proceeded to respond inappropriately. In addition, sending such unprofessional emails from your company address might have been a really, really, really bad thing for you to do - are you representing the company here? Does Trolltech / QT / Nokia / whatever you're calling yourselves these days also take the "That's not a problem because I say so" approach? If so, I'll have to remember to avoid them at all costs in all my future endeavours. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJvuD2FbVnQRV3OEYRApR/AJ4iAxqGFufWFcCaQP87TUV0MxZExgCePmCW rgCueMnCpiPU93SPLlFJG4k= =gVcu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list comm ... @lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

======================================================================================================================== From: Elena Conti < cont ... @access.uzh.ch > To: taxa ... @mailman.nhm.ku.edu Subject: PhD position available Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 16:43:03 +0200 I would like to announce the following position on Taxacom: Ph.D or post-doc assistantship in plant evolution/biogeography at the University of Zurich Position description: Applications are open for one 3-yr Ph.D. assistantship (or a part-time post-doctoral assistantship) to study the origin and evolution of island endemics in the Mediterranean Region. Our first studies on Rutaceae, Araceae and Boraginaceae used chloroplast DNA sequences and geological data to reconstruct the temporal and spatial frameworks for the origin of plants endemic to the continental fragment islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the oceanic islands of the Canarian archipelago (Salvo, G., S. Ho, G. Rosenbaum, R. Ree, E. Conti. 2010. Tracing the temporal and spatial origins of island endemics in the Mediterranean region: A case study from the citrus family (Ruta L., Rutaceae). In Press Systematic Biology; Mansion, G., F. Selvi, E. Conti. 2009. Origin of Mediterranean insular endemics in the Boraginaceae: Integrative evidence from molecular dating and ancestral area reconstruction. Journal of Biogeography 36:1282-1296; Mansion G., G. Rosenbaum, G. Bac chetta, J Rossello, E. Conti. 2008. Phylogenetic analysis informed by geological history supports multiple, sequential invasions of the Mediterranean basin by the angiosperm family Araceae. Systematic Biology 57:269-285). Some of the open questions include the following: i) Are species in the selected Mediterranean groups monophyletic? ii) What are the origins of the polyploid species? iii) Is there variation of ploidy level within species? iv) was island colonization associated with a shift of the ecological niche? The successful applicant will choose one or more of these plant families to: generate flow cytometry data aimed at determining ploidy levels; generate nuclear DNA sequences and infer species trees; incorporate ecological data to investigate issues of niche conservatism vs. niche evolution in the selected groups. Requirements: Demonstrated experience in molecular, phylogenetic and flow-cytometry methods and/or ecological niche modeling will be highly valued in the selection process. Excellent knowledge of the English language, written and oral, required. Familiarity with additional European languages would be useful for fieldwork in the Mediterranean Region and living in Switzerland. Facilities: Our research group offers a very supportive working atmosphere and excellent research facilities in a highly international scientific environment. Several opportunities for collaborations and participation at international meetings are available. How to apply: Send the following documents by email AS A SINGLE PDF FILE to Prof. Elena Conti, Cont ... @access.uzh.ch :I) a one- to two-page application letter clearly addressing the following questions: a) Why are you interested in a Ph.D. or post-doc position in this research topic? b) What are your career goals?; II) your detailed curriculum vitae, including a list of field collecting, molecular, analytical, and linguistic skills, presentations at scientific meetings, and publications (if applicable); III) a copy of your undergraduate and graduate academic record; IV) names and full addresses of two or three referees selected from your academic advisors. Finally, ask your referees to send reference letters directly to Prof. Conti by email addressing: i) your intellectual and academic skills, ii) your dedication to science, and iii) your ability to work cooperatively in a team. Deadline for application: June 30, 2010. Positions will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

arbcombo -- Refrigerant Management Program

New state law requirements for refrigerants effective January 1,
2011.

On January 1, a new state regulation to minimize leaks of
environmentally harmful refrigerants takes effect. This
regulation builds on long established federal regulations on
refrigeration systems.

Beginning January 1, 2011 all facilities with stationary
non-residential refrigeration systems with more than 50 pounds of
refrigerant are required to do refrigerant leak detection
inspections, leak repair, and recordkeeping. This new regulation
does not affect refrigeration systems that use ammonia or carbon
dioxide as refrigerants. Service technicians must be U.S. EPA
certified and follow specified practices including repairing
leaks prior to recharging and properly evacuating cylinders
before disposal. Refrigerant distributors, wholesalers, and
reclaimers are required to begin recordkeeping of refrigerant
received or distributed, and only sell refrigerants to certified
technicians or their employers.

For complete details on all the requirements please visit
www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reftrack/reftrack.htm or email at
reftrackinfo@arb.ca.gov or call (916) 324-2517.

Fixing refrigerant leaks is one of the most cost-effective ways
to clean California's air while also saving businesses money on
costly refrigerants.

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification; The WS-Coordination v1.2 specification describes an extensible framework for providing protocols that coordinate the actions of distributed applications. Such coordination protocols are used to support a number of applications, including those that need to reach consistent agreement on the outcome of distributed activities. The specification defines a coordination context XML type that identifies a specific activity and the "coordination type" of the agreement protocol supported by the coordinatoin context. The specification also defines protocols that enable an application service to create a coordination context and to register for coordination protocols. The framework enables existing transaction processing, workflow, and other systems for coordination to hide their proprietary protocols and to operate in a heterogeneous environment. (e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations; -- OASIS Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) TC. The WSBPEL TC focuses on an overall business process orchestration language. WS-Coordination v1.2 does not discuss how an application operates internally, nor make any overall statement about the overall business process orchestration, but instead focuses on individual, pair-wise message exchanges between a participant in an activity and the coordinator of that activity. -- OASIS Business Transactions (BTP) TC. The WS-TX TC has a different focus with regard to specification scope, required functions, policy, and other Web Services composeability. WS-Coordination v1.2 focuses solely on simple, pair-wise message exchange patters that can be used to reach consensus. WS-Coordination v1.2 provides simpler interoperability by focusing exclusively on externally visible service behavior at the protocol level. It does not impose constraints on internal service implementations. It emphasizes clean composition with other WS-* standards, such as WS-Addressing and WS-Security. WS-Coordination v1.2 concentrates on interoperability, specifying relatively few variations and providing simple state tables rather than extensive options with considerable application semantics.

Is anybody using the following taglib with Cocoon 2? http://opensource.socialchange.net.au/ldaptaglib/docs/ For me it seems that it only can used with Cocoon 1.8.

I maintain a fork of CCache 2.4 internal to my workplace, and I'd like to know if there's going to be some active work on ccache. My fork has two changes. First, it's NFS-safe. It removes the use of non-NFS-safe fcntl() file locking and the statistics tracking features that relied on it. Second, it supports a two level cache. Why? With a one-level cache, you have to compromise. You can share the cache among a large number of users to get a high hit rate, or you can use hardlinks to conserve disk space. You cannot safely do both -- it would be too easy for a well-meaning user to change the contents or permissions of their own workspace, and in so doing, unwittingly modify the shared cache. Basically, a two-level cache allows you to do both safely. Those aren't for everyone. The NFS fix is interesting for people stuck with NFS. The two level cache is interesting for cube farmers stuck with any filesystem that doesn't support deduplication. (If you have deduplication, you can set up an ordinary one-level shared cache, disable hardlinks, and you will have a simple, safe and high performance setup that is efficient with disk space.) So maybe this is best kept as a fork. Anyway it seemed like a good time to take a straw poll to see if anyone was interested in those. Anyone? Cheers, John Joel Rosdahl wrote: Hi Tridge and others, The latest ccache version was released over five years ago. What's the future of ccache? The reason I'm asking is that I have been hacking on ccache (more about that in a separate mail), and, if possible, I would prefer to contribute my work to ccache in some way instead of forking my own ccache clone project. So, what's the way forward here? If wanted, I'm open to help (co-)maintaining ccache.

On the contrary, it's been just the opposite for us. The same app under Apache 1.3.26/Tomcat 3.3.1, was eating all the memory.

I understand we are to have something called Individual Health Records (IHRs) but there seems to be a paucity of information. There's a certain amount of info on the websites of NHS Wales and "Informing Healthcare" but it is largely in marketing speak (ie. aimed at persuading citizens to fall meekly into line) and some of it seems rather out of date. From what I can make out IHRs sound very similar to SCRs but I haven't yet found a satisfactory explanation of the architecture. I understand it has been piloted at the Royal Gwent Hospital, which intrigues me because I recently went there for a minor surgical procedure and there was no mention of IHRs. Can anyone tell me whether there any signifcant differences between the SCR and IHR systems and if so what? It seems they both have the fundamental weakness that they make personal information available via numerous computers in numerous health service buildings where (whatever technical access controls are incorporated) confidentiality is ultimately in the hands of a lot of over-worked, underpaid individuals who are probably sharing login IDs.

He says that his rules and criteria (to recognize homologies, polarize them and run the deviation rule) are nothing more but heuristic principles. Miss Bennett from California out there (Duodeviginti-Thread)! You probably know what a heuristic principle is. But I think it includes some point of subjective judgement (greek heureka=I see, I understand). Archimedes ran through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Heureka!" I have found (it)! That word is the aorist (or perfect past) tense of the Greek verb heurisko, meaning to find out, to discover. heuristic, however, comes from that verb indirectly through the derived adjective heureteos, discovered, in its superlative form, heuristos i.e. most/very discovered. The three modern meanings I have found for heuristic are: 1) relating to a usually speculative formulation serving as a guide in the investigation or solution of a problem. 2) relating to an educational method in which learning takes place through discoveries that result from investigations made by the student; 3) relating to a computer-based problem-solving technique in which the most appropriate solution of several found by alternative methods is selected at successive stages of a program for use in the next step of the program. I think Hennig had the first definition in mind, but I tripped over the word "speculative" . In the interests of precision, I looked up the definition of "speculate" which is "to engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence", and merged it with the definition of heuristic, and I got: relating to a formulation serving as a guide in the investigation or solution of a problem, which involves a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence. That's where the subjectivity comes in, when one chooses an approach, a particular course of reasoning, even if there is no conclusive evidence to support that choice of approach. Practically speaking, does this mean that Hennig was suggesting use of his methods to provide a starting point for what, hypothesis formulation?

Nice and Simple

The Best Plans




================================================================================================================================================ The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet primarily used to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. This medical nutrition therapy mimics aspects of starvation by forcing the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fuelling brain function. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. The diet provides just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories to maintain the correct weight for age and height. Developed in the 1920s, the classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high-carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as cream and butter. The diet, which is closely supervised by a neurologist and a dietitian, is effective in half of the patients who try it, and very effective in a third. The mechanism by which the ketogenic diet reduces the frequency of epileptic seizures is unknown.

To unsubscribe, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/daily-article-l Questions or comments? Contact dal- ... @wikimedia.org Everyone, I'm pleased to annouce the release both a production and experimental release of GMPY. GMPY is a wrapper for the MPIR or GMP multiple-precision arithmetic library. GMPY is available for download from: http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/ Production release ------------------ GMPY 1.12 is the new stable release. In addition to fixing a few bugs, GMPY 1.12 adds support for Python 2.7 and the current py3k development trunk. Even though my primary development focus has shifted to GMPY2 (see below), GMPY 1.X will continue to receive bug and compatibility fixes. Experimental release -------------------- To simplify the codebase, allow for changes in the API, and support simultaneous installation, the development version has been renamed to GMPY2. The following is list of changes in GMPY2: * support for a mutable integer type "xmpz" * removal of random number functions * "xmpz" supports slices for setting/clearing bits * some methods have been renamed (scan1 -> bit_scan1) * support for Python prior to 2.6 has been removed * support for all division modes has been added * ceiling - round to +Infinity * floor - round to -Infinity * truncate - round to zero * 2exp - division by a power of 2 * support is_even() and is_odd() If you use GMPY regularly, please test GMPY2. There have been several requests asking for a mutable integer and I am curious if there are real-world performance improvements. Future enhancements ------------------- I am looking for feedback on future enhancements. If you have specific requests, please let me know. Below are some ideas I've had: * An optional "max_bits" parameter for an "xmpz". If specified, all results would be calculated modulo 2^max_bits. * I've added the ability to set/clear bits of an "xmpz" using slice notation. Should I allow the source to be arbitrary set of bits or require that all bits are set to 0 or 1? Should support for "max_bits" be required? * Improved floating point support. Comments on provided binaries ----------------------------- The pre-compiled Windows installers use later versions of GMP and MPIR so performance some operations should be faster. The 32-bit Windows installers were compiled with MinGW32 using GMP 5.0.1 and will automatically recognize the CPU type and use assembly code optimized for the CPU at runtime. The 64-bit Windows installers were compiled Microsoft's SDK compilers using MPIR 2.1.1. Detailed instructions are included if you want to compile your own binary.

================================================================================================================================== I recently switched to Suse Linux 11.1 from Windows and Digikam 0.9.4 was installed by the distribution DVD. I think its very good but it doesn't list my camera (Pentax K200D) as supported. If I want to upgrade Digikam to version 0.10.0, should I uninstall the existing package first or just install the new RPM over the top? Thanks in advance Graham Dicker _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list Digi ... @kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users hi Patrick, here you can find my solution: remember that I used igraph python module to produce vertex and edge sequence and that in my .net file there where 5 different type of edges (grey, blue, red, yellow, green)... which I try to reproduce with their different weights and, most of all, remember that my code - I am sure - is not the best possible... http://www.digitaldust.it/movie/mainWindow.py comments and improvements MORE than welcome! ;) cheers, Simone Il giorno 29/dic/08, alle ore 18:28, Gael Varoquaux ha scritto: On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 04:52:31PM +0100, Patrick wrote: At the outset, I have n 3d points defined by 'nodes': nx3 array, i.e. 3d coordinates 'nodeIDs': nx1 array, i.e. the point IDs 'edges': (n-1)x2 array, i.e. indicating the IDs of the pairs of points to be connected The task now is to connect the points given in 'nodes' using the edge information given in 'edges'. In Matlab this can easily be done using the plot3 function. Say we have a set of 10 points, then the input to matlab's plot3 function can be made to be three 2x10 arrays containing the x,y and z coordinates of the beginning and end point of the edges in their respective columns. For the last few days I have been trying to get this to work using the excellent mlab module of mayavi2 (I am using the most recent python(x,y) distribution). My problem is that the input arrays I was passing to Matlab's plot3 function do not work in mlab's plot3d() function. After several hours of searching on the internet, I came across a very similar problem posted recently: https://mail.enthought.com/pipermail/enthought-dev/2008-October/017835.html After following the advice given in the above posts, I am now able to manually (not automatically, which is necessary due to the large amount of data) connect points by explicitly indicating the labels assigned to the points after calling "labels = mlab.pipeline.labels(points)". Unfortunately I have not been able to automate this procedure, especially since the labels assigned to the points do not coincide with the labels in my 'nodeIDs' and 'edges' arrays. I am not sure what is the problem that you are having. The labels probably don't coincide exactly with the labels that you where using in matlab, but this can easily be worked around. The labels number of a point is its number in the array of positions that you specified initialy, starting from 0. Here is an example that demonstrates it clearly: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ import numpy as np from enthought.mayavi import mlab nodes_x = np.arange(10) nodes_y = 2*np.arange(10) nodes_z = np.zeros_like(nodes_y) mlab.clf() nodes = mlab.pipeline.scalar_scatter(nodes_x, nodes_y, nodes_z) ## Use the following if you want the nodes to be displayed as spheres. #nodes = mlab.points3d(nodes_x, nodes_y, nodes_z, # mode='sphere', scale_factor=0.1, # opacity=0.5) # Label the points with their ID labels = mlab.pipeline.labels(nodes) labels.mapper.label_format = '%.f' # Connect point 1 and 2, as well as 3 and 4 nodes.mlab_source.dataset.lines = np.array(((1, 2), (3, 4), (7, 8))) nodes.mlab_source.update() # And now display the lines lines = mlab.pipeline.surface(nodes) mlab.show() +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ As you can see in this example, the lines are drawn between the second and third point, the fourth and fifth, and the heighth and nineth. Now if you have an array of labels, you just need to convert these labels to positions. One way would be to sort all arrays so that points are ordered in increasing and continuing label order. Another would simply be to create an array mapping your labels with the mayavi labels, ie the ordering number of the labels. I've coded an example using some fairly ugly numpy code. Robert (if you are around) is there a cleaner way to create do this? Creating an inverse mapping between values and indices seems like a common task. In particular, my solution doesn't scale well at all when the label array is very sparse. The following example builds the very exact same set of line than the previous one, but uses a fancy labelling order: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ import numpy as np from enthought.mayavi import mlab nodes_x = np.arange(10) nodes_y = 2*np.arange(10) nodes_z = np.zeros_like(nodes_y) labels = np.array((15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)) # Create a mapping from index in label array to label number. label_numbers = np.zeros(labels.max() + 1, np.int) - 1 label_numbers[labels] = np.arange(labels.size) mlab.clf() nodes = mlab.pipeline.scalar_scatter(nodes_x, nodes_y, nodes_z) # The connection array, in label numbers connected_labels = np.array(((14, 13), (12, 11), (2, 3))) # Using fancy indexing on our mapping array, label_numbers, # to convert label numbers to indices nodes.mlab_source.dataset.lines = label_numbers[connected_labels] nodes.mlab_source.update() # And now display the lines lines = mlab.pipeline.surface(nodes) mlab.show() +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ I hope this sorts you out. If it does not, could you send me a minimal representative set of your data (say the first 3 points, if this is representative).

=============================================================================================================================== Hi guys, While working on implementing XMPP Jingle in Asterisk, I had to write the basis of STUN as defined in RFC 5389. Jingle uses ICE (and therefore STUN as per RFC 5389), which introduces message integrity checks for STUN messages using credentials exchanged at the signalling phase. The changes in the STUN code are mostly an update to the STUN attributes as defined in RFC 5389. As for other RTP based media channels (eg. SIP), the only change is the introduction of the following structure in the ast_rtp_instance_read interface function : struct stun_credentials { char local_ufrag[AST_STUN_MAXLEN]; char remote_ufrag[AST_STUN_MAXLEN]; char local_password[AST_STUN_MAXLEN]; char remote_password[AST_STUN_MAXLEN]; unsigned long priority; int initiator; }; I just resynchronized the code branch with the trunk : http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/phsultan/jingle-support The corresponding bug report : https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15634 This code works with other Jingle implementations that use the same ICE mechanism (Empathy, PSI and Pidgin tested) in a scenario where Asterisk runs on a public IP address and serves NAT (or not) Jingle clients. It is limited by the fact that we let the clients choose their best ICE candidate, as we don't make any decision on our own. Even though it's not a complete RFC 5389 implementation, I believe this code might help us moving forward. I'm leaving for a week of vacations, I'll update the (old) review board request when I come back : https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/401 Philippe On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Simon Perreault < simo ... @viagenie.ca > wrote: On 2010-08-06 10:54, Klaus Darilion wrote: having Asterisk saying "this is a symmetric NAT, VoIP will not work" is IMO a useful option to help users with NAT traversal. Even though VoIP might very well work? The better approach is to be agnostic to the type of NAT. Just try to traverse it using all possible ways, and see what works. Dynamically pick the best alternative. Pick the best alternative based on what? Based on trying them all. That's the idea behind ICE. You tell your peer: "I have these adddresses assigned to me, and I obtained this address from STUN, and I allocated this address on a TURN relay, and I opened these ports using UPnP/NAT-PMP, and I have this address on a VPN, etc. Try them all, I'll tell you when I hear from you on one of them." Note also that keep-alive can be done with pure SIP. This has the advantage that the peer doesn't need to support STUN. See RFC 5626 section 3.5.1. Of course, yes. But using STUN would also detect changes of the public IP. It cannot change while it is being kept alive. Once a NAT binding is opened, the 5-tuple is fixed. Unless the NAT device reboots, in which case we're screwed anyway. What is the standard STUN usage that works? RFC 5626? How long will it take until all SIP proxies/registrars deployed will be updated to support RFC 5626? Yes, SIP-outbound and ICE. The deployment time is irrelevant. When you're talking to a peer that supports it, you use it. Otherwise, you don't. You just cannot start using STUN in a broken way and expect everything to be rosy. It's going to help in some circumstances, but it's going to be really broken in others. And you'll be trying to outsmart the server, which is not a good thing to do. Working with servers that do not support SIP-outbound and/or ICE is simple: don't do anything. It is up to these servers to do their thing (i.e. latching). If they don't do any of that, then they can't reasonably expect to work with clients behind NATs. Is this the IETF approach? Non-RFC5626 compatible servers are responsible for NAT traversal? Of course not! That would be great - then we could drop "old style" STUN from all clients immediately. I repeat, what I being described here is not "old style STUN". It is Asterisk-specific. Clients generally do not take the results from STUN and stick them in SIP headers. My point is that Asterisk should not do non-standard STUN.

Algebra.com & LivePerson, a Solution that Makes Sense!

Algebra.com began with a domain name and a dream, back in 1995. By 2000, founder Igor Chudov had begun developing the domain into an algebra help site for students. By 2004, he realized the need to take it further, and to fine-tune the direction of the site. He decided to turn it into a community website with free volunteer tutors on call to provide algebra help to children who need it. Due to this pioneering concept, thousands of students and tutors now connect on a wide variety of algebra-related topics, sharing their love of mathematics and getting (and giving) much needed help.

Content on the site ranges from simple problem-solvers to full-on lessons submitted by Algebra.com's users. What makes it unique is the passion and excitement of the community of users, who offer their time and knowledge to help others.
