Free pile software for linux

Lost Cities project is an implementation of Reiner Knizias card game of risk management.

It supports Internet play and includes a complete set of rules.

Each player is dealt eight cards. Each turn, a player must play a card or discard a card, and then draw. Each card has a color and either a value which is either from 2 to 10, or is a handshake. There are three handshakes per suit, and one of each number card.

Each player has one play pile per suit. Your play piles are shown at the top of the window, and your opponents are at the bottom. You may only play higher-numbered cards on top of lower-numbered cards; handshake cards must go before all numbered cards.

Discard piles are also sorted by suit, but discards may be in any order. Discards are shown in the center of the window. After you have played or discarded, you may draw either from the deck, or from any discard pile.

When the last card is drawn from the deck, the game ends immediately.

SpamBayes is a Bayesian anti-spam classifier written in Python. The major difference between this and other, similar projects is the emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages.

While most anti-spam projects are still working with the original graham algorithm, we found that a number of alternate methods yielded a more useful response.

Thats great, but whats SpamBayes?

SpamBayes will attempt to classify incoming email messages as spam, ham (good, non-spam email) or unsure. This means you can have spam or unsure messages automatically filed away in a different mail folder, where it wont interrupt your email reading. First SpamBayes must be trained by each user to identify spam and ham. Essentially, you show SpamBayes a pile of email that you like (ham) and a pile you dont like (spam). SpamBayes will then analyze the piles for clues as to what makes the spam and ham different. For example; different words, differences in the mailer headers and content style. The system then uses these clues to examine new messages.

For instance, the word "Nigeria" appears often in spam, so you could use a spam filter which identifies anything with that word in it as spam. But what if your business involves writing a guidebook on Nigerian Wildlife Conservation? Clearly a more flexible approach is necessary. Additionally spammers will adapt their content over time and will no longer use the word "Nigeria" (or the words "Lose Weight Fast", or any number of other common lines). Ideally the software will be able to adapt as the spam changes.

So, that is what SpamBayes does. It compares the spam and the ham and calculates probabilities. For instance, for me, the word "weight" almost never occurs in legitimate email, but it occurs all the time in lose weight fast spam. SpamBayes can then look at incoming email, extract the most significant clues and combine the probabilities to produce an overall rating of "spamminess". It flags the messages so that your mailer can handle the different message types. You might set it up so that ham goes straight through untouched, spam goes to a folder that you ignore (or delete without checking) and the unsure messages go to another folder which you can review for errors.

Speedometer project is a console bandwidth and file download progress monitor with a logarithmic bandwidth display and a simple command-line interface.

Usage:

speedometer [options] tap [[-c] tap]... Monitor network traffic or speed/progress of a file transfer. At least one tap must be entered. -c starts a new column, otherwise taps are piled vertically.

Taps: filename [expected-size] display download speed [with progress bar] -rx network-interface display bytes received on network-interface -tx network-interface display bytes transmitted on network-interface

Options: -i interval-in-seconds eg. "5" or "0.25" default: "1" -p use plain-text display (one tap only)

If you are like me you have hundreds or even thousands of images ever since you got your first camera, some taken with a normal camera other with a digital camera.
Through all the years you believed that until eternity you would be able to remember the story behind every single picture, you would be able to remember the names of all the persons on your images, and you would be able to remember the exact date of every single image.
I personally realized that this was not possible anymore, and especially for my digital images - but also for my paper images - I needed a tool to help me describe my images, and to search in the pile of images. This is exactly what KimDaba is all about.
With KimDaBa it is today possible for me to find any image I have in less than 5 seconds, let that be an image with a special person, an image from a special place, or even both.
There is of course no such thing as free lunch - with KimDaBa this means that you have to annotate all your images before you are set. KimDaBa is, however, highly optimized for annotating images, so annotating 100 images in 10 minutes are no way impossible.
Enhancements:
- BUGFIX: Using kapp->invokeHelp to show help rather than kapp->invokeBrowser, as the later doesnt work unless your default browser is konqueror.
- BUGFIX: the category was sometimes shown twice in the status bar
- BUGFIX: remove tokens didnt work for KDE 3.4

YOURI stands for "Youri Offers an Upload & Repository Infrastucture". YOURI project aims to build tools making management of a coherent set of packages easier.
Running a package distribution project involves a lot of tasks:
- allow individual maintainers to upload packages in a central repository
- create packages index for packages managers such as urpmi or yum
- synchronise developement resources such as CVS or bugzilla
- advertise new packages
- sign packages numerically
- check individual packages consistency
- check global repository consistency
- etc...
The quickndirty approach of using a pile of dedicated shell scripts, with hardcoded distributer-specific policies, generally results quickly in a maintainance nightmare for admins and a discrepancy nightmare for users. YOURI aims to leverage those issues by providing a generic package management framework, focused on code reusability and modularity.

Tess is a C++ library that helps automate final assembly of tedious graphic design tasks (e.g. from photoshop or gimp), such as conjuring piles of web page-specific navigation features.

The project can composite an arbitrary stack of RGBA images, draw antialiased TrueType text (via FreeType), and generate a few shapes and effects. It groks PPM and PAM files, and includes a Perl binding.

WMMenu project provide a popup menu of icons for WindowMaker like in AfterStep, as a dockable application. It is not as powerful as there is only one menu level, but I think it is sufficient, since you can make multiple separate menus.

The program can be run more than once at the same time, which allows as much different menus, each one described in a separate file. The description simply consists in a suite of lines containing the pixmap name and the shell command to run, with the first line giving the dock image and the menus title (will be used later). The menu automatically pops up to the right or left depending on the on-screen position.

Why:

More functional to organize program launchers when you have lots, rather than pile them around the screen like we can see on some screenshots... (I conceive its less appealing).

Usage:

wmmenu [< options >...]

-h
show help message
-m MENUNAME (mandatory)
set the name of the menu file to load from ~/.wmmenu
-g WxH
set width and height of tile
-t XPMFILE
set the pixmap used as tile
-l XPMFILE
set the pixmap used as highlight to track pointer
-O oldleaving
use old behavior for hiding the button bar: hide only when
leaving the bar, not when leaving the tile.
-O click
activate the button bar only when clicking on the tile, not
when the mouse moves in and out.
-O noautoscale
disable automatic scaling of pixmaps, that makes them fit
inside specified tile size.
-O behind
draw highlight pixmap behind icon, not above.
-O hide=N
set the time delay necessary for the bar to close after the
cursor has left wmmenu. N is specified as a strictly positive
integer in milliseconds. 1 is used by default.
-r ROWS
arrange icons in the bar on multiple rows (specified as the
number ROWS). The default is one. Icons are arranged leftmost
from upper left corner.
