1. Field of the Invention
This disclosure relates to coding methods and, in particular, to a Huffman decoder.
2. Description of the Related Art
Huffman coding is a variable length coding (VLC) technique for lossless data compression that, unlike the lossy nature of transform based coders, provides for the exact recovery of the original data from its compressed version. Compression is achieved by assigning longer codewords to less frequent input symbols and shorter codewords to the more frequent input symbols. Given the source symbol probability distribution, a Huffman coder achieves optimality; that is, the average length of Huffman code approaches the theoretical minimum, i.e., the entropy of the source, where the entropy of the source is defined as the minimum number of its needed to encode the entire message with lossless compression.
Due to its simplicity and efficient compression capability, Huffman coding has been widely used in the international standards for Group 3 fax, Group 4 fax, JPEG image compression, and MPEG 1/MPEG2 video compression.
Huffman encoders map the input source data into codewords of variable length, concatenate them all together and then segment them into fixed-length words (e.g., 8 bits or 16 bits). Huffman encoding can be implemented via table look-ups, or bit-serial operations by traversing a Huffman tree. The use of table look-ups usually speeds up the encoding process. A Huffman look-up table is built based on the empirical source symbol probability distribution. Due to the different characteristics of the data statistics, different applications may have different Huffman look-up tables.
Huffman decoding presents a set of unique challenges. Since different source symbols have different codeword lengths, the receiver has no knowledge of the boundaries of the consecutive codewords in a bitstream. The receiver usually has to decode the bitstream sequentially, bit-by-bit, by tracing a Huffman tree until a leaf (i.e., a terminating node) is reached. Tracing a Huffman tree node-by-node is time-consuming. Table look-ups were proposed to speed up the decoding process. Traditional table look-ups allow receivers to decode one symbol at a time. However, it does not provide adequate throughput for very high data rate applications, such as decoding HDTV. See (Obed Duardo, et al. "An HDTV Video Decoder IC for A TV Receivers" IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics. Vol. 43, number 3, pages 628-632, August, 1997 and S. F. Chang and D. G. Messerschmitt. "Designing High-Throughput VLC Decoder Part I Concurrent VLSI Architectures." IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems for Video Technology. Vol. 2, number 2, pages 187-196, June 1992). Given the proliferation of high data rate applications, the ability to decipher multiple-coded symbols in each clock cycle is desirable for clock speeds typically operated in the range of 15 to 100 Mhz.
Briefly and in general terms, in a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a method to enhance the decoding rate of symbols from a coded bitstream. The coded bitstream includes one or more variable length codes (VLCs) produced by a Huffman code.
According to one aspect of the invention, an extended Huffman look-up table is constructed from an original Huffman look-up table wherein the extended Huffman look-up table contains row entries for decoding multiple variable length encoded symbols in a single clock cycle.
According to a second embodiment of the invention, a look-up table is constructed capable of decoding at least N Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients in a single clock cycle so as to complete the decoding of an entire DCT block within 64/N+1 clock cycles.
The present invention advantageously improves the decoding rate (i.e., throughput) by extending an original Huffman table from the most frequent symbols while increasing the look-up table size a nominal amount.
A further advantage of the present invention, in accordance with the second embodiment, is that the decoding rate performance is guaranteed. This aspect is desirable from a hardware design perspective in that the method is adaptable to satisfy differing video hardware system requirements simply by adjusting the value of N (i.e., the number of coefficients to be decoded in a single cycle).
The foregoing features of the present invention will become more readily apparent and may be understood by referring to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where:
The present invention seeks to provide a method for enhancing the decoding rate of a variable length Huffman encoded input stream by extending a traditional Huffman tree to allow the decoding of multiple-coded symbols in a single clock cycle, for clock speeds typically operated in the range of 15-100 Mhz. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided, utilizing the properties of run length coding (RLC), to decode multiple Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficient symbols in a single clock cycle.
In general, given a symbol set, where each symbol occurs a given number of times in an uncompressed file, the Huffman compression algorithm discovers the symbolic substitution for each original symbol to produce the shortest compressed file. The Huffman algorithm first builds a Frequency Table for each symbol in the uncompressed file (i.e., a message). For example, assuming a message, such as "abdfeeccba . . . cbabcdfcefcab" is derived from an alphabet of six letters, {a, b, c, d, e, f), an exemplary statistical distribution is shown in Table 1:
From the frequency table the Huffman algorithm builds a Huffman Tree. The construction of a Huffman tree is well known in the art. See, e.g., Y. J. Chiu, L. Wu, S. Hsieh, P. Wilford. "Fast Algorithms for Huffman Decoding." Technical Memorandum: BLO314100-980615-1TM. Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, 1998. The purpose of the Huffman tree is to associate each character from the message (i.e., uncompressed file) with a variable length bit string in accordance with its frequency of occurrence. The more frequently used characters get shorter bit strings, while the less frequent characters get longer bit strings.
The symbols from the input message file are compressed in accordance with the symbol substitution defined by the Huffman tree and transmitted to the destination as a compressed data file. At the destination, a decompression routine reverses the process by reading in the stored frequency table that was used in compressing the file. From the frequency table, the decompressor can then rebuild the Huffman tree, and from that, extrapolate all the bit strings stored in the compressed file to their original character values.
Typically, the frequency table is stored in the header of the compressed file and is extracted therefrom to perform decoding. It is understood that the Huffman tree is a mathematical artifice which is embodied as a look-up table in a practical implementation. The Huffman look-up table corresponding to the Huffman tree for the present example is depicted below as Table 2. As previously described, each symbol is associated with its corresponding variable length codeword. For example, at the first row of the table, symbol "a" maps to a variable length codeword "0", having a length of 1.
Utilizing the look up table, Huffman decoding is a straightforward process. L bits are simultaneously read into a buffer in each clock cycle. (In the present example, L=5 bits) However, L can be greater than or less than five bits depending upon the requirements of the particular application. The L bits read into the buffer are used as an index into the look-up table to determine a decoded symbol. For example, reading in the exemplary sequence {L=11010}, indexes into the sixth row of Table 2 to decode character "f".
Once a symbol is decoded, the number of bits corresponding to the decoded symbol are purged from the buffer, i.e., the first two bits are purged from the buffer and three additional bits are maintained and left shifted in the buffer to continue the decoding process at the next iteration. That is, only the decoded bits are left shifted out of the buffer and an equivalent number of bits are right shifted into the buffer to process the next five bits from the input message stream. The above steps are repeated until the entire input stream has been processed. It should be noted that although one symbol is decoded per single clock cycle making this process faster than bit-serial decoding, the process does not provide adequate throughput for very high data rate applications, such as decoding HDTV which requires that multiple symbols are decoded in each clock cycle.
As will be described, the method of the present invention provides a solution for resolving (decoding) more than one symbol in a single clock cycle and thereby increases the data decoding rate required for high speed applications.
Referring to
At step 206, extension is performed; the original Huffman tree is extended from the regenerated nodes. The extension step involves selecting a first identified regenerated node and from that node, extending the original Huffman tree where the regenerated node assumes the root position of the extension. This step is illustrated in FIG. 3.
Row entries 1, 2, 3 and 5 of Table 3 illustrate that multiple encoded symbols can be decoded in a single clock cycle. Row entries 1, 2, 3, and 5 represent the improved decoding capability which can only be realized in the extended table in accordance with the first embodiment. In particular, it is shown at rows 1, 2, 3 and 5 that respective source symbol pairs (a,a) (a,b) (a,c) and (a,f) may be decoded in a single clock cycle utilizing the extended table.
In sum, the method improves the decoding throughput by extending the Huffman table from the most likely (frequently used) symbols to decode multiple symbols in a single clock cycle. The method provides an average decoding capability of M-1 bits per clock cycle when the maximum allowable depth level M is applied. Advantageously, the size of the original Huffman table is increased by only a nominal amount.
Referring now to
In the case where the blocks are non-overlapping, it is referred to as the discrete cosine transform (DCT). The DCT transform concentrates the energy of the input waveform into a relatively small number of transform coefficients, both DC and AC. The DCT transform typically produces coefficients with amplitudes that are representative of the energy in a particular band of the frequency spectrum. The output of the DCT is a matrix of coefficients which represent energy in the two-dimensional frequency domain. If the coefficients are scanned in a zig-zag manner, starting in the upper left corner, the resultant sequence will contain long strings of zeroes especially towards the end of the sequence. So to convert an 8-by-8 block of pixels into a set of DCT coefficients in the frequency domain, there will be generated one DC coefficient and 63 AC coefficients. Each of the 64 coefficients are quantized resulting in most of the AC coefficients becoming zero and only the non-zero coefficients requiring coding.
In accordance with the method of the present invention, each non-zero coefficient after quantization is coded using a run-level symbol structure, where "run" refers to the number of consecutive zero AC coefficients; level refers to the magnitude of the quantized AC non-zero coefficients. In video, a run-level symbol with a run length value k means that there are k-zero value AC coefficients and one non-zero coefficient associated with the particular symbol. Thus, in video applications, symbols are decoded by indirect means, namely, through their constituent k+1 DCT coefficients in run-level symbol structure. It will be demonstrated that, in accordance with the present embodiment, the principles of run length coding (RLC) are utilized to exploit the characteristic zero run lengths of DCT coefficients to efficiently decode multiple DCT symbols in a single clock cycle.
Table 4 is an exemplary Huffman look-up table constructed in accordance with the prior art and extended by a fourth column labeled "DCT length" which describes each symbol's computed DCT length (i.e., the number of DCT coefficients required to represent the symbol).
For example, the third row of Table 4, illustrates that source symbol "c" is represented by input codeword "1010x", having a DCT coefficient length of 3. As previously described, the DCT length of 3 represents the total number of DCT coefficients which define an equivalent transformed representation of the symbol "c" in the frequency domain. Specifically, the symbol "c" has a DCT length equal to (k+1=3) where the run length equals 2 (i.e., the number of consecutive zero AC coefficients). The DCT length column is required to determine when to terminate the decoding process. That is, some minimum number of DCT coefficients, N, will be specified to be decoded in a single clock cycle. That is, N is predetermined. The DCT length column of the extended table provides an indication after each iteration of the algorithm as to whether this criterion has been satisfied.
Referring collectively to FIG. 4 and Table 5 below, this embodiment of extending an original Huffman look-up table for decode multiple DCT coefficients in a single clock cycle will now be described in greater detail. Referring initially to
The new concatenated symbols are added to the table with DCT lengths of 1i, +lj. Step 408 is a determination step to determine whether all newly created concatenated symbols contain a depth level exceeding the user specified value of N. If not, the process returns to step 404 to perform an additional iteration, otherwise the process terminates.
Table 5 below illustrates the extended Huffman table after a single iteration. Further, the table only lists the newly created symbol pairs for clarity. It should be noted, however, that the table includes both new and original symbols for the purpose of decoding.
If a successive (second) iteration of the algorithm were performed, Table 6 below illustrates the extended table at the completion of the second iteration. Table 6 illustrates that the majority of row entries are capable of decoding at least three DCT coefficients at a time.
The bottom part of the table are codewords which cannot be decoded from the upper part codewords. These codewords, however, are rare in occurrence in that they are located at the tail part of the DCT block in zig-zag order.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and have been described herein in detail with reference to Tables 1-6 and the drawings. It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Hi! I am SUPER new to e-commerce. But my website is almost built...and we are waiting to upload until everything is perfect. I am starting a gift website, and will have NO inventory, I will just be promoting other business' products (affiliate marketing). I have NO idea of the legalities for doing this. HELP!!! Do I need a business license? Do I need an EIN, so I don't have to use my SS? What else should I know?

I would just be a sole proprietorship and use your social to start out with and if it grow then you can look at a llc or something else. It is simple and easy to do.
Affiliate marketing provides website owners with the ability to monetize their content with 'referrals' or mentions of other merchant products and services on their website. A site owner is paid when that user clicks on the link or buys that product or service. Affiliate marketing is one of the more effective means to monetize content. Some of the more authoritative affiliate networks include Commission Junction and Linkshare. Message Edited by CharlotteW on 08-28-2009 05:36 PM

Thank you everyone for their thoughts and comments!
A couple of issues that may effect affiliate marketeers: Some states have enacted new taxes for affiliate sales, I believe New York was one of the first, this complication has caused some affiliate programs to cease doing business with marketeers residing in these states. The FTC has recently revised their 1980 testimonial and endorsement rules to cover internet marketing, chiefly endorsements must be authentic br it by a celebrity or a blog operator. There are also guidelines requiring disclosure any business relationships with makers of 'reviewed' products. These rules $11,000 per infraction teeth.

There are so many affiliate marketing offers out there that promise high returns but in the end turn to be scams. I think the best thing for anybody to do is to research a great deal before jumping into anything. A few affiliate marketing services you can look at that are highly respectable are www.clickbank.com and www.commissionjunction.com But then again, it all depends on what type of affiliate marketing you are into. Some pay more some pay less. We offer an affiliate program at our franchise for sale directory andwe are very picky who gets to join but it can be very rewarding if you are familiar with the different strategies of internet marketing. Check it out at www.majorfranchises.com If you wish to learn more about affiliate marketing you may contact me. Message Edited by ChristineL on 11-09-2009 09:06 AM

When I started, I started as an S-Corp, because at the time (1999) LLC's were newish and legal advisors weren't sure what to make of them as there was not enough case law to fully understand liability ramifications. However, if I were to start today and wanted to go beyond a sole proprietorship I would start as an LLC.

Frank, Many affiliate marketing experts recommend newcomers signup with an affiliate network, such as Commission Junction or ClickBank. These companies establish an advertiser network which allows you to tap into a variety of advertisers at once. The Yahoo Directory and the Open Directory have listings of affiliate network programs and resources as well as information on individual affilaite marketing programs. These directories aren't comprehensive, but there are good starting points to learn about what's out ther.
The best thing you can do if you are interested in Affiliate Marketing is do your 'homework' FIRST. Don't jump in on the first thing you see. There are many,many programs out there. Built-in Affiliate programs or Networks, along with many of the MLM programs can be quite 'overwhelming' if you're not familiar with them. You can start off on a simple basis or get very complicated very quickly. Like was mentioned, most vendors are setup through a service like Paydotcom, ClickBank, Sharesale, etc. Most pay through PayPal but some use DirectDeposit or mail checks. Some require the Forms for the $600 rule, but you need to record and report your earnings regardless. First, you will have to get rolling and build traffic for your ads (which usually takes a couple weeks or months depending on how much time and effort you put into it). Some vendors even provide you with a free base website to use and start you off with a rotating pattern of exposure to search engines. They almost always give you the links, banners, ads to use with your built-in affiliate codes in order to track your sales/commissions. Hope that helps.

Hi, Sorry to hear you are going through tough times. Even so, I would urge you to spend time learning the intricacies of internet businesses. If you do a search on google, you will find millions of ways of making a quick buck and loads of cash. I don't doubt some do but like any other business, its the top 20% who make good money and the top 5% who make indecent loads of money. I am suggesting a good place to start learning. This is the FREE 30-day course offered by http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/ Ed Dale (please note that this is a generic link and not my affiliate link to Ed). Normally, I would be very sceptical of anything free but I did try this and it is working. I am learning a lot and my website is beginning to rank on google. Whilst the course is free, some of the suggested tools are not. However, they are optional and the course does suggest ways to get by without spending money. I opted to spend some money (my domain name costs US$9 per year; my hosting subscription is US$20 a month). I figured that if the site actually works, like its beginning to, I do not want to redo the whole process again. Broadly they teach that we must pick a niche, if possible, in an area of expertise that we are already good at. If not, never mind, just learn the process. It'll enlighten you as to what you are up against in the world of internet business. The other key lesson is you must get your website in front of targetted traffic i.e. real people who are searching for your product or service. It is common sense. The tough part is many people already know this and we need to learn the latest techniques to compete with them. The affiliate programs that they recommend have been mentioned above. I would only add that Clickbank is more for electronic goods (e.g. downloadable e-books, software etc) whilst Commission Junction and ShareASale are like your local department store (a whole array of goods). Going through this free course will also keep you from spending monies on whoever promises you overnight riches. Believe me, there are very, very convincing copywriters out there who can lead you to buy land on Mars! I have been tempted countless times. By the way, you can squeeze in several days of the course into one or two days if the materials are already posted by Ed. Good Luck!

Apologies, my post is a reply to reroc2000 By the way, the links to the mentioned affiliate links, which I have joined so far, are: http://www.clickbank.com/index.html Clickbank http://www.cj.com/ Commission Junction http://www.shareasale.com/ ShareASale As most of the merchants ask for a website when you apply to them, I believe it helps to have one.

The Los Angeles Dodgers just keep sending money this off season. A day after adding Zack Greinke to an already crowded rotation the team has worked out a deal with Korean born pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu. Earlier this off season the Dodgers won rights to negotiate with Ryu after forking over a $25.74 million posting fee. The contract with the pitcher himself will set the Dodgers back another $36 million over the next six seasons reports Jon Heyman. To recap the Dodgers current rotation. They have Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke set to occupy the top two spots and then it gets a little murky. Josh Becket, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly, Chris Capuano, Aaron Hargan and Ryu will all figure to expect to fill the other three spots. With a payroll well north of $200 million for next season the Dodgers are clearly not concerned with the luxury tax and are in trying to win at all costs. The 6-1, 215-pound Ryu is a strikeout pitcher with a fastball in the low-90s, a changeup and a slider. He helped ...

Jamesburg, New Jersey — It was a slushy, muddy mess that greeted racers at HPCX today. After getting an unheard of four inches of snow in Central New Jersey,the course completely changed from previous years and the barriers were removed on the grounds that the slush created enough running opportunities for racers.
Nikki Thiemann (Team CF), who won at Beacon the day prior, repeated her performance, flying through the mud. She told us she prefers to race in mud, so this was her weekend to shine. Laura Van Gilder(Mellow Mushroom) took second, also for the second day in a row. She was followed by Carolyn Popovich (Team CF) in third, Erica Yozell in fourth, and C3 Athletes Serving Athletes' Arley Kemnmerer (who had to pull out of the race on Saturday after a crash) coming in fifth.
In the men's race, a lead group of Swiss rider Lukas Winterberg (Philadelphia Cyclocross School), Canadian Craig Richey (Renner), Adam Myerson(Smartstop/Mock Orange Bikes), Travis Livermon (Smartstop/Mock Orange Bikes) and Jeremy Durrin (JAM Fund) formed early on. Jerome Townsend (Smartstop/Mock Orange Bikes) eventually bridged up after a chaos-filled first lap, and as the race progressed, Winterberg broke away from the group. Townsend (Smartstop/Mock Orange Bikes) eventually took second with Richey in hot pursuit for third. The five man podium was rounded out by Travis Livermon (Smartstop/Mock Orange Bikes) and Christian Favata (Richard Sachs).

If some incomplete software is released as GPL, is it GPL forever? Or can you re license it? Assume that all the code was written by only one person, they received no contributions.
closed as off-topic by JasonMArcher, Deduplicator, durron597, Raphael Miedl, cpburnz May 28 at 0:30
There's no way you can rescind the GPL on the software you have already given someone. The only way that license is allowed to be changed is to a newer version of the GPL. Whoever received it as GPL will always be free to use it and redistribute it to others under the GPL.
However, if you hold the copyright on the software, you can do whatever you want with it yourself. That includes releasing it to someone else under whatever licensing terms you chose. So if you want to change a future version to be BSD, or dual-licensed, you are free to do that. If you want to sell it to some company with a closed-source license, you can do that too.
A popular option lately is to release a GPL version, and sell more permissive licenses to people who want to use the software in a closed-source program. For instance, that is how Red Hat and Ada Core make money off of their GPL compilers.
Short answer:
As a copyright holder, you do not have to choose between licensing your project under the GPL, and re-licensing at a later date.
Once a piece of software is licensed under the GPL, it is always under the GPL. However, as a copyright holder, you may re-license under other licenses as well, if you so please.
Long answer:
To understand the logic behind the short answer, you need to grasp two different concepts here: copyright ownership, and licensing. For completeness, I will also explain moral rights, copyright assignment and copyleft.
Copyright ownership:
When Jill writes a piece of code from scratch, she automatically has copyright ownership over that piece of code. Copyright ownership means that non-owners must get the owner's permission before copying or distributing copies of that piece of art. Jill can now sell copies of the software at a price, and the recipients of those copies are not allowed to make more copies, as Jill still owns the copyright of the software.
(In the USA, the fair use doctrine allows people to copy creative works even without permission under certain circumstances, such as for research purposes. Other countries have similar exceptions to copyright law.)
Jill may want to allow people to copy and modify her software, without having to ask for her permission for every copy. In this case, she release the software with an accompanying license which grants recipients explicit permission to copy and modify the software. Examples of common open source and libre licenses are the Apache license and the GPL.
Even after licensing the software under an open source license, Jill still owns the copyright of the software. Licensing does not affect copyright ownership.
If Jack takes the software licensed under an open source license, copies it and gives it to his friends, he is acting legally, because all open source licenses explicitly allow you to do this.
If Jack takes the software and changes it, the new version of the software now has two authors: Jill and Jack. The copyright ownership of the new version is divided between Jack and Jill, and only Jill has copyright ownership of the old version.
Because Jill owns the copyright on her piece of software, she can license her software under as many different licenses as she pleases. For example, she can give a copy of her software under the GPL to person A, and she can give a copy of her software under a proprietary license to person B. This is called dual-licensing.
If a non copyright holder wants to copy the software under the terms of a different license, they must obtain permission from all the copyright holders, unless the software had already been released under a license that explicitly allows re-licensing (such as the BSD license).
Copyleft licenses:
Some open source and libre licenses require that the recipient only be allowed to distribute further copies and modifications of the software under these two conditions:
These licenses are called copyleft licenses. The most popular copyleft licenses for software are the GPL version 2, and the GPL version 3.
If Amira releases her software under the GPL, and Jack takes that software, modifies it and redistributes copies under a closed-source license, Jack is acting illegally. Amira could sue him for violating her copyright. Here's how the fictional court case would go:
As you can see, you can never violate the GPL. Rather, if you do not meet the conditions specified by the GPL, then you do not acquire the permissions granted by the GPL. If you haven't acquired permission by any other means, you are violating copyright, not the GPL. In practise, however, people frequently say "violating the GPL", when they mean "not meeting GPL's conditions, and consequently, violating copyright".
Remember, a license only ever gives the recipient of the creative work additional rights, it never takes away rights. (This is not necessarily true for a EULA, though.)
So can Amira re-license her software under another license, even if the new license is proprietary? Yes, she can, because she is the copyright holder of the software. Amira does not need to meet the conditions of the GPL because she doesn't need the rights granted by the GPL. As copyright holder of the piece of software, she already has the right to release the software under any license she pleases.
Amira does not, however, have the right to revoke the GPL. If she wants the distribution of her software to cease, she must somehow convince all the previous recipients of her software never to exercise their right to copy the software ever again. On the Internet, this is an impossible task.
Enforcement of copyright:
If someone copies a creative work without permission from the copyright holders, they are acting illegally. However, only the copyright holder is allowed to sue them for their infringement.
For example, if Corel obtains proof that Raj is violating Adobe's copyright by pirating Photoshop, they cannot sue Raj. Only Adobe can sue Raj, because only Adobe owns the copyright of Photoshop. This is true even though Corel would potentially stand to benefit from elimination of the piracy of Photoshop, as they offer a cheaper competing product.
Copyright assignment:
Under copyright law, it is possible to transfer your copyright rights to another party. This is called copyright assignment.
Most employees have a clause in their contract specifying that the copyright of all creative works made by the employees as part of their employment shall automatically be assigned to the company. Most free software or open source software advocates find this is perfectly normal and acceptable.
Amira may sell her copyright ownership of her software to Jack if they both so wish. The fact that she had previously released the software under the GPL does not hinder her from doing this, as she still is the copyright holder. Of course, Jack, can never revoke the GPL on that version of the software, even after buying the copyright ownership.
Many open source projects, such as the Linux kernel, attract a large number of contributors. Every contributor to the Linux kernel retains their copyright ownership of their particular contribution. If Linus Torvalds wanted to re-license Linux, he would have to obtain permission from every single one of the copyright holders, numbering in the hundreds. If one copyright holder refuses to grant permission, Linus could offer to buy their copyright ownership for a fee, or could remove their particular contribution from the Linux source code. Otherwise, Linus does not have the right to relicense all of the Linux kernel, because he is only copyright holder to a portion of the Linux kernel.
To avoid this problem, many libre and open source projects require contributors to transfer their copyright rights to a parent organisation. Another benefit of assigning copyright to one organisation is that the organisation is in a stronger position to sue violators of the copyright of the project.
Contributor license agreements:
Instead of transferring copyright rights to a third party, Amira can grant Jack full rights to her software, with a statement like this one:
Now both Amira and Jack have the right to relicense the software, or to sue infringers of the copyright.
For open source and libre projects, both copyright assignment and contributor license agreements are controversial topics. Contributors do not want to lose their copyright or to share their copyright with an organisation they may not trust.
Moral rights:
In the USA, copyright rights and moral rights are distinct. Moral rights include:
Even when you transfer copyright to another party., you still retain moral rights. Your moral rights protect you from plagiarism, and to a certain extent, from defamation using your creative works.
I hope this clears things up for you. If you have any questions, let me know.
The person who wrote the code is the copyright holder. They are free to distribute it under any licenses they wish, so if they want to re-release a version under a BSD license, they can. [Standard disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, blah blah.]
Once GPL, always GPL. You can not change the license later!
Once you finish the app it must stay GPL. However if you wish to also sell it under some commercial license, that is fine. Notice the word ALSO. This means that you will still have to give it away under GPL!!
You may ask who will buy your app under the commercial license if you also have to give it away under the GPL. The answer is: developers and people that want support.
The point of the GPL is that anyone can be an author and thus shall claim no copyright privileges because copy right privileges prevent free sharing and modification. Thus while the original author may have a copyright he gives away almost all privileges of copyright under the GPL. Once that is done it can NOT be taken back. The GPL is clear about this. I don't know any GPL project that changed to closed source only... in fact the GPL and GPL FAQ specifically state this can't be done.
If you are the original author, I believe the only copyright right you retain is to also release the product under other licenses, but you still have to release the entire work under the GPL as well. of course you can only do so if in the commercial version you don't have any GPL code contributed by non employees before the transition, otherwise you have to get their permission.

The U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May, a gain that shows employers are hiring at a still-modest but steady pace.
The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent from 7.5 percent in April. The increase occurred because more people began looking for work, a healthy sign. About three-quarters found jobs. The rest added to the ranks of the unemployed.
The government revised the job figures for the previous two months. April's gains were lowered to 149,000 from 165,000. March's figure was increased slightly to 142,000 from 138,000. The net loss was 12,000 ...

[QUOTE=Darkside Ron Garvin;660821]Drake is unique? Go back a few years and look into the work of Blackstar, Mos Def, Common, Slipknot Mafia, Tialib Kwali and any other "faster paced" rap stars. This "trendsetter" as you call him is nothing more than a media glorified hipster who happened to have the marketability that others lacked. YOLO so you should educate yourself past the popular aspects of just following what the "in crowd" say you should listen to (Wiz Kalif). Drake is the next Gucci Mane
Most of this is true, but let me just explain something that I've said tons of times.
Rap is all about the lyrics, in fact, I favour the fucking hardcore lyrical rappers like Blackstar, Mos Def, all the others you stated above.
And am I missing something? Since when did I call him a trendsetter?! Like I said ages ago, he's in it more the money, no love for the music at all. But he actually goes hard in Stay Schemin, but the raps in that track are pretty average. I rarely listen to the fake shit.
And no, I don't just listen to the popular fellas. I've said this SEVERAL fucking times: the ones who have less publicity are te ones who bust there asses, and they are lyrically better than those pussy ass rappers like Lil Wayne.
In fact, if I showed you my iPod music right now. You would hardly witness any popular tracks. I'm not the bitch who has Drake, Lil Wayne as a favourite. I'm a Rakim guy, Kendrick Lamar guy, Immortal Technique guy. I listen to the real shit all the time. I'm not the fella who goes ahead and listens to the drugs, money and "hoes" guy.
As I said, the comment wasn't directed to the fact that you think Drake is the best, but rather than Drake shouldn't have his name mentioned in the category of "Rap" but rather "Pop" for the fact that he is a bubble that will burst shortly. And as for the Lil Wayne being the "shits", you should listen to 10,000 bars and tell me that the kid isn't a story-teller. He's ventured into the Pop genre after spending a DECADE in the actual "Rap game"... Drake has been here for how long now?
Ive said this plenty of times, Lil Wayne's old shit are the real deal. His new songs are :eek:
Drake isn't a lyricist, qft.
Once again, those rappers you just sated up there, I've got loads of tracks featured by them. I'm just putting it in short, cause I'm off to bed now.
I..I....I.....I'm just ordering...er, um...some fetish porn. Yeah, yeah, that's it....midgets and animals.....it's...a.......GIFT! For Bodom! :rolleyes:
*whispers* you think he bought that? Yeah no worries dude, you were smooth as!

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
TOP TEN REASONS WHY I MAKE A KICKASS FRIEND/ACTIVITY PARTNER/GIRLFRIEND: 10. You'll see me smile much more often than you'll see me frown. However, I may exhibit a pout from time to time, but that's okay, 'cause it's cute. 9. I am comfortable in my own skin. I have no interest in competing with anyone or anything and I have no need to prove myself. I am happy with who I am, but I also realize that there's always opportunity for enlightenment, so I'm open-minded to new experiences and opinions. 8. I have a VIP Angels Card at Victoria's Secret for a reason. As a Friend, you could help me pick out stuff. As an Activity Partner, you may get a glimpse of a hot bra, or thong, every now and then (like when I hit some loose gravel and land surf down parts of Camelback, HaHa), and as a Girlfriend... well, lucky you. 7. You won't really hear me complain too much, because I don't typically worry about things over which I have no control. Unless you bring up politics, then all bets are off. 6. You'll be proud to have me on your arm, or by your side, in any situation. As a Friend, I could easily enmesh myself with your other pals and fit right in. As an Activity Partner, I'm up for just about anything (except bungee jumping - I just KNOW that cable would snap), and as a Girlfriend, I would be able to impress your established circle and family (if it ever came to that, baby steps) with my natural charm and poise. 5. I love to cook and bake. I'm no Martha Stewart, but my dog enjoys my culinary creations. Most of the time. Bread is my nemesis, though. How can 10oz. of ingredients come out of the oven weighing 20lbs? That's a dilemma for the ages, I suppose. 4. You will find yourself seriously pondering my insights on current events, abstract notions, and life in general. It won't be in an, "Omgosh, does this chick even have a college education" way, either, but more of a, "Y'know, for sounding like a pretentious valley girl, this chick's pretty sharp..." 3. You won't ever see me roll my eyes at you for voicing your opinion - even if it's wrong. I would respect you too much to do that and I would have the decency to turn my head before rolling my eyes. 2. You will never carry my purse while I'm out shopping. As a Friend, you could give me your opinion on what I'm buying. As an Activity Partner, we could meet up and go to town, after all, shopping is an "activity," right? As a Girlfriend, though, I don't think I'd even want you in the store with me, 'cause I wouldn't want your grumbling about how much I spend on shoes to kill my buzz. ...and the NUMBER ONE REASON why I'd make an AMAZING Friend/Activity Partner/Girlfriend... 1. You will never hear me utter these words: "I'm not in the mood." As a Friend or Activity Partner, this doesn't really apply to you. Sorry. Yes, I know, this can technically be considered an "activity," but I don't really do the casual thing, or FWB, or whatever Urban Dictionary is calling it these days... ~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!~!* Other Miscellaneous Things: I am a sweetheart. I have a bubbly personality and fabulous sense of humor (quick-witted and sarcastic)! I laugh, smile, or giggle all the time. I'm drama-free: No children. No crazy ex-boyfriends. No diagnosed psychoses. I'm equally as comfortable being a social butterfly as I am just being a homebody. I'm super feminine and a total girly-girl, but I have no qualms about getting dirty. DEALBREAKERS: Smokers, facial piercings and gauges, excessive tattoos (sleeves, chest plate, etc.), children under 18, arrests of any kind, lack of common sense. And, yes, I created this Top 10 List all by myself. =P

American football, museums, opera/theatre, lipgloss, iPhone, NCAA basketball, hiking, travel, iPad, movies, dancing, cooking, waterfalls, MBP, animals, music, road trips, spontaneity, Grey Goose cosmopolitans, crossword puzzles, jewelry, sleeping in.
I have so many varied interests that it could be just about anything. I love football, museums, attending the opera, hiking, day/weekend trips, cooking/baking, shopping, going out dancing with my girlfriends (though, clubs are tired and tedious).

Skyforge Guild Information
In just about a month Skyforge will enter in to Open Beta phase, and will officially start the launch of the game for us. Yes! No more wipes. So get ready!
First of all everything from Closed Beta phases is being wiped, that means we will have to recreate the guild from scratch and re invite everyone back.
Once the game opens again i need everyone to contact me in game or on mumble for invite. Send me friend request to so i can see if you are online. I cant invite offline members and you have to be there to accept the invite. Here are the core guild information.
Guild Name: Excessum
Guild Master: Khebeln Excessum
Aelinet Group: click here to join!
Region: EU Datacenter
Open Beta: Skyforge's Open Beta begins on July 16th! And, starting on July 9th, Founder's Pack owners will be able to take their first permanent steps towards Godhood, during the 7-day Skyforge Early Access period! Starting in Early Access, all progress will be permanent!
Skyforge Download: http://static.gc.my.com/SkyforgeBetaLoader_en.exe - (Make Account on Skyforge website!)
Now back to organization. Upgrading the Pantheon will cost a lot of credits and construction materials. For those that don't know or did not participate in the CB we will need a lot of both to upgrade the very small size of the guild at the beginning (less than 10 members) to be able to invite all members. And this will take a while. Thats why i need the friend invites to keep track of everyone that i need to invite.
So save up some credits for guild and donate regularly! Once you get access to followers send them as often as you can to gain construction materials to progress the upgrades!
At some point i will req. a weekly credit tax from all members to upgrade the Pantheon. Good thing is whether you like it not you will have to donate to get special tokens, necessary to upgrade your characters. So in the long run its a win win situation :)
If you want to learn more about the game go and visit skyforge section on our website i added 15+ guides and a lot of general information about the game for all the members to familiarize themselves before the game release.
Thats it for now, i will be adding more information here as the need arises!

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Roughly half of Congress, dozens of foreign ambassadors, and the president and prime minister of Israel were in attendance at the 2009 AIPAC policy conference here earlier this week.
The major annual gathering of the American pro-Israel community, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference proved to be a showcase for fervent declarations of opposition to the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran and for Israel's quest for peace and security—though both Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) had some challenging words for the gathering about Israeli settlement construction.
JTA's team was on the ground throughout the conference, filing several video dispatches (see Biden speech, Bibi analysis, and liberal Israel support), live blogging of major speeches (Biden, Kerry and Bibi), and even some words of advice for Vice President Joe Biden, in addition to our news and analysis
For a quick re-cap of the entire event, check out the video at left.

To help us keep the cost of wastewater treatment down, we would like to ask each of you to follow some basic rules:
1. Items that should NOT be disposed of in the sewer system: paper towels, baby wipes, feminine products, condoms, rags, oil, kitchen grease, chemicals, paints or thinners. These items are costly to remove, can damage equipment, will upset the operations of the facility and require additional work for treatment facility personnel.
2. Repair leaky faucets and running toilets. Just a small drip in a faucet or a running toilet can lead to hundreds of gallons of lost water over time
3. Report any open or overflowing manholes. An open manhole can allow rainwater to enter the collection system, which will have to be treated and cause a dangerous situation for children.
4. Keep the cap secured tightly on any sewer clean-out on your property.
By doing your part, we can work together to help keep operating costs down, prevent rate increases and maintain a safe, clean environment within the city of Greenbrier
Thank you!

Photo Flash: Meryl & Maks Win Mirror Ball Trophy on DWTS Season Finale; Check out Highlights
Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were crowned the Season 18 DANCING WITH THE STARS Champions, on last night's Season Finale! This marks the first win for pro Maks, following 13 competitions on the long-running ABC series.
The show began with a high-energy performance featuring a reunion of all 12 of this season's couples as well as the judges. The finale also featured a performance to "Livin' La Vida Loca," by Team Loca, giving viewers at home a chance to watch the routine live with Amy Purdy, as she was unable to dance during the original Team Night due to an injury. Additionally, viewers were treated to encore performances by Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke to "You Can't Sit Down," Nene Leakes to "Grown Woman" featuring six Pro Dancers, Danica McKellar and Val Chmerkovskiy to "Be Our Guest," and Charlie White and Sharna Burgess to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
In the last element of competition, the couples performed a new routine as part of a "24 Hour Fusion Challenge." The remaining couples fused two contrasting dance styles that they've performed this season and had less than 24 hours to prepare that dance for judges' points.
Last season's Mirrorball Trophy winner, Amber Riley, returned as a part of Walgreens' "Dance Happy Be Healthy" performance of "Do Your Thing" plus her first single "Colorblind." The finale also featured musical performances by Christina Perri singing her ballad "Human," Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX performed their hit "Fancy," Season 18 contestant Cody Simpson treated fans to his hit "Surfboard" and Ariana Grande performed her new single "Problem."
As the judges commented on the final performance, judge Len Goodman hinted that Season 18 may be his last. A surprised Tom Bergeron quickly halted the conversation, telling Goodman he'll have a sit down on the subject with him later.

Sony restores PSN to end nightmare
The Playstation Network hacking nightmare is set to come to an end this week as Sony restores all services in Japan, the last territory to be affected.
On April 20, 2011, the Playstation Network was taken offline after Sony detected an intrusion at one of its data centers. PS3 owners were left in the dark for over a week as Sony remained silent in the face of intense criticism.
The company eventually announced what had happened, which was a major hacking incident whereby the account details of millions of PSN users had been compromised. Credit card details could also have been stolen, but that has never been confirmed. The culprits have also never quite been nailed, despite an admission of guilt from disparate hacker group Anonymous.
After more preparation and securing the network against further intrusions, from Anonymous or whomever, Sony finally brought the Playstation Network back online in many parts of the world, including the U.S. and Europe, on May 16. By the end of June everything was back up and running everywhere apart from in Japan, Sony's home country. This was due to the authorities wanting further assurances as to how safe the network was.
After further negotiations between Sony and the authorities, the Playstation Network is finally coming back online in Japan on July 6, a full 10 weeks after it was knocked offline. This means all PSN services will have then been switched back on in every territory around the world. And about time too.
While the hacking threat may be over, and Sony more confident than ever that the PSN is secure, the company is still counting the cost of the outage. It has been estimated that the whole sorry episode will have cost Sony around ¥14 billion (US$170 million) during this financial year. Which is no small amount, even for a company as large and as successful as Sony is.

Policy Id Numbers
Does anyone know a way to change the default policy serial number the SEPM gives out when it's a fresh install? I have clients pointing to a certain policy number and i didn't have a policy backup when I had to do the fresh install, due to a corupted database.
The clients are not connecting to the manager. I have tried to manually request a policy update at the client level. and it's won't do that either.
They all point to policy #123 and the default policy is #456.
Thanks for the help.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You will need to replace the sylink file on the clients to get them to connect back to the new SEPM.
Do you have a backup, did you check the disaster recovery KB article:

Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
Since the clients are not reporting to the SEPM, that could be the reason the Policies on the clients are not being changed.
It is important to have the clients reporting to the SEPM.
What version of SEPM and SEP clients are you running?
You would require the SylinkReplacer Utility to have them replace with sylink.xml file which would in turn get the client reporting to the SEPM.
In case of SEP 11.x, use the SylinkReplacer Utility found below -
In case of SEP 12.1, you can use the SylinkReplacer version_12.1 for getting all the clients back.
To get that tool you will have to call symantec or log a web case.

YouTube to launch professionally produced channels

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
WeAreTheBorg wrote:
Bringing in some old media people to hijack that is pretty shitty - if it even works.
Don't worry, it won't work.
Look at how old media is failing in its original format. That's because viewers expect high production values plus content that is specific to their narrow interests, which inherently appeals to a smaller audience, which can't support the budget for high production values.
That contradiction is what's killing TV - on broadcast, not so much on on cable, where subscriptions can make each audience member worth just enough more, that the budgets can support the needed production values. (It's also why space opera, with its high costs and small audience, is pretty well dead on TV.)
But how will that solution apply to YouTube, where expectations are that everything is free? Will ad revenue be more lucrative compared with TV? If so, they have a long way to go.
The whole point behind the professional channels is to try to bring YouTube up to par with TV in terms of advertising appeal. Right now, advertisers are resisting buying YouTube ad space because they don't want their products to be associated with Annoying Orange and cat videos (as though the average ad is somehow "better" than Annoying Orange).
But all that does is re-create broadcast TV on YouTube, with the same audience-can't-support-the-budget dilemma. They aren't solving that dilemma, and in fact, they're going to have to really hustle just to reach the same unsustainable level that is currently killing broadcast TV.
Just imitating old media is a stupid approach. YouTube should play to its strengths, which are 1) incredible reach (a global audience - potentially anyone with an internet connection - reached far more easily than TV is capable of); 2) diverse "programming" (from completely unprofessional - which is not to say bad - to very professional stuff); and 3) interactivity.
That third point is what YouTube should focus on. Digital content is all going towards the "free" business model because it can be easily pirated. Corporations might fight it, but they'll end up learning the same lesson the music industry did - that it's like trying to fight the tide.
The solution is to build your business on something that is un-pirate-able. Forget content - a
cannot be pirated. Imagine a YouTube channel where the prime attraction is just like TrekBBS - it's a place where you can go to interact with people who you want to interact with.
Right now, YouTube is definitely not thinking of its business as being the community. The comments sections are being rendered unpalatable by a bunch of stupid brats, running amok. But envision a system where the YouTube visitor can click a button and have the moderated experience, or the "TNZ experience" - screen out the brats or include them, as your mood suits you that day.
Give the community members more tools for running contests, customizing how they are seen by others (avatars, etc), more sophisticated ways of rating and sorting both content and other community members (to follow them more closely or screen them out entirely).
Pretty soon, the members themselves have built up "content" that they would be loathe to abandon to go join a competing site (and if YouTube was successful, competitors would follow), and that is immune from piracy.
All this needs to be paid for somehow, of course. Ads can be part of the revenue mix, but I'd also offer micropayment-based enhancements - focusing on enhancing the community experience, such as special members-only areas, fun new art to dress up your avatar, that sort of thing. Each element would be a few dollars.
Even if only 5% of members ever pay for anything, and even if the things are cheap, that global audience could provide the numbers that allow micropayments to largely support the whole system. And unlike ads, which are very culturally specific - it's very hard to do an international ad campaign that appeals globally, if for no other reason that corporate ad departments tend to be regional, not global - micropayment-based enhancements can easily be designed to have global appeal.
The key to this is, give away the content (videos) for free, so that people can have a satisfying basic experience that feels free. The attraction of this free experience will attract a massive global audience. Then charge for community-based enhancements that can pay off because the audience is huge, even if the vast majority of members are free riders.
Okay sorry for yet another mega-post. And I haven't even mentioned how I think that the video content needs to start evolving into a format that better takes advantage of interactivity - more like simple games. Imagine
Terra Nova
, except the members get to decide who the dinos eat next, or even what kind of dinos are eating them.
