Free sirius software for linux

Sirius is a program for playing the game of othello. The program includes an AI (Artificial Intelligence) opponent which plays at a very challenging level and is actually quite hard to beat. The AI opponents strength can therefore be adjusted in several ways to give you a suitable opponent.
The AI opponent uses a plain alpha-beta search with hashing to figure out which move to make. To be able to tell a god position from a bad one, it uses a pattern based evaluation function.
The pattern used is the 9 discs surrounding each corner and the 8 discs creating the edge of the board. The evaluation function also takes mobility, potential mobility and parity into count. For the initial 9 moves the AI opponent optionally uses a simple opening book.
During midgame it searches and evaluates about 200.000 nodes per second on a PIII 750 MHz, in the endgame this number is significantly higher due to more transpositions and a less expensive evaluation function.
Enhancements:
- Russian translation. (Alexandre Prokoudine)
- Fixed problem with non-latin UTF-8 characters. (Vyacheslav Sdiconov)
- Trippled the size of the opening book.
- Made the hints unsensitive at startup.
- Man page for Debian.

Ulteo project is the easiest system to use on computers. Ulteo is a new concept of an easy-to-use open-source operating system which could change the way we all use computers.

As a result, users have to perform tasks that should be reserved to computer specialists, while we think that users should just spend time using the applications they need. Ulteo tries to provide answers to these issues.

The first answer we have is to consider the OS + applications as a whole system that we could call an "Application System". This system should:

1- always provide the most up to date stable features and self-upgrade automatically
2- require no, or very little, administration by the user
3- open users horizon to potentially every application which exists, the simple way

For this release of Ulteo Sirius Alpha1, we have focused on the first point. This means that after the first installation, Ulteo will try to check for any new versions available if a network connection is available, and self-upgrade by using an incremental upgrade mechanism.

What this means is that for the next alpha release version, no installation will be needed. Simply rebooting the system will be enough to get the new features and bug fixes.

Audio::Radio::Sirius is a Perl module to control a Sirius satellite radio tuner.

SYNOPSIS

Sirius satellite radio (http://www.sirius.com) is a US based satellite radio serice. While none of the tuners they make have serial or USB connectors, it has been found that generation 2.5 tuners (Sportster, Starmate, * Replay, Sirius Connect, and others) have a common tuner module.

Furthermore this tuner module generally has a serial interface. Presently only one commercial site is offering a modification for adding a serial port to a Sirius tuner: http://www.rush2112.net. Google should reveal schematics and parts needed for adding ports to other tuners.

Once your tuner is connected to your system and accessible via a serial port like device, you can use this module to access it:

use Audio::Radio::Sirius;
use Win32::SerialPort; # or Device::SerialPort on Linux

my $serial = new Win32::SerialPort(com1);
my $tuner = new Audio::Radio::Sirius;

$tuner->connect($serial);
$tuner->power(1);
$tuner->channel(184); # tune in the preview channel
