You might also want to try something like ANTLR or LEX/YACC (FLEX/BISON if using FLOSS). Might be overkill, though. Sam

Fwd: OT: Energy efficiency difference btw GNU/Linux, Mac & MS

I think your question might be a category error. The power consumption of a PC can be broken down component by component. A PC with hardware that's been spec'ed with low energy consumption in mind (e.g. the XO-1 from the One Laptop Per Child project, which draws ~2W in typical use) will consume fa

Re: Open Source Video Codec and Container (alternative to Xvid)

Simon, I have several points. * For a (very) in-depth discussion of the merits of various codecs for distributing video via the web, look for the "Theora" thread (the really long one) in the WHATWG HTML5 mailing list archive. * Since you're "not a fanboy of Adobe's proprietary products, pricing

Re: Thanks to all the devs and maintainers of Debian

Wholehearted agreement here. Hmm, maybe we should copy in an Ubuntu mailing list (ditto all other Debian-derived distros) so more folks can join in the love-in? :) Sincere thanks for all that you (the developers and maintainers) have done, and to Damon Chesser for starting such a feel-good thread.
