LBK Give The Ms Pac-Man Ghosts a Fighting Chance

From: http://news.cnet.com

Artificial Intelligence Takes on Ms. Pac-Man

For the last 30 years, Pac-Man's estranged wife, Ms. Pac-Man, has been consuming countless coins and hours from gamers at arcades across North America.

University of Essex, recently launched a competition called Ms. Pac-Man vs. Ghost Team for those wanting to rewrite the flow of the classic chomper. The contest, held last week in New Orleans at the Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2011, was an open call for savvy Java programmers to create artificial intelligence routines that either control where Ms. Pac-Man or the four ghosts should go during gameplay.

Samba 3.6.0 approaching:

Second Release candidate Now Available

Samba, the free software implementation of Microsoft's SMB protocol, is nearing a release of version 3.6 as a second release candidate is made available. Samba 3.6 features SMB2 support. SMB2 is the version of the protocol used by Vista, while SMB2.1 is used by Windows 7. This will be the first release where the developers consider the SMB2 protocol implementation to be fully featured, but it will not be enabled by default. The developers hope that users will enable it and test it and once they have sufficient confirmation that it is stable they will enable it in a future release.
