I'd rather see protections for whistleblowers and my freedom to record the authorities than privacy law. If we are legally provided with a right to privacy, you can be sure that corporations and government will have even greater rights to the same. We can handle privacy with common sense and good technology, whilst transparency ne be guaranteed by law.

Submission + - Arduino based high powered LED lights over WiFi (youtube.com)

Submitted by Gibbs-Duhem on Thursday November 18, 2010 @04:36PM

Gibbs-Duhem writes: This awesome video was produced by some MIT Engineers recently. They've started a fully open-source, open-hardware high power LED lighting project that they designed to be modular enough to control with the Arduino (or any other control system)! Using their open-source firmware, you can set up the Arduino to connect to WiFi and receive Open Sound Control packets. Then, they went further and released open-source software for PureData and Python to do music analysis and make the lights flash brilliantly in time with the music! A full Instructable was also posted in addition to the existing documentation for design and assembly on their website, http://saikoled.com

KDE Developers Discuss Merging Libraries With Qt 196

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday October 31, 2010 @06:24PM from the merge-ahead dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A proposal has been brought up with KDE developers by Cornelius Schumacher to merge the KDE libraries with the upstream Qt project. This could potentially lead to KDE5 coming about sooner than anticipated, but there's very mixed views on whether merging kdelibs with Qt would actually be beneficial to the KDE project, which has already led to two lengthy mailing list talks (the first and second threads). What do you think?"
