Can anyone recommend any good Com port monitor tools, like Portmon, which also work on Windows x64? Ideally something open source / freeware would be good.
Old question, but very relevant. While serial ports may be gone from consumer devices these days, it is still very much used in industrial hardware, point of sale hardware, radios, etc. In my case I was trying to capture a communications session from a configuration software tool for some hardware equipment.
In the end I found a commercial app from Eltima Software called Serial Port Monitor which did the trick for me on Windows 7 x64.
UPDATE in 2020: This very old question was relevant in 2010, but is now obsolete. There are plenty of open source serial monitor tools nowadays, notably the Arduino serial monitor tool, just to name one. This question can probably be deleted as it is no longer 'a problem.'
My original answer from 2010: The only one I have found for x64 is "Advanced Serial Port Monitor," which is really quite good. Not free, priced at $60 USD for a single user license. There is a 15-day trial. Honestly, I've been hoping (for quite a while now) that Mark R. would release a 64-bit version of portmon.

I have beacon which has Texas Instrument's BLE cc2541 chip in it. I want to reprogram its advertising packets. Is there any free TI tool available to reprogram it. I saw on there website and full packages are available, which is too costly rather i want only developement software to reprogram my beacon. Any help?
In order to reprogram the microcontroller of the SensorTag (cc2541), you need to download the TI BLE Stack from this link:
http://www.ti.com/tool/ble-stack
The "Project" folder in the stack includes a "SensorTag" project folder. There is a project file in this folder named "SensorTag.eww", where you can program the microcontroller in the way you want.
You need an IDE named IAR Embedded Workbench to open the project file and perform the embedded programming. Unfortunately, it is not open source, but you have 30-days free trial:

I am using an Arduino Uno running a 9 Degrees of Freedom Sensor Stick with a BlueSmirf Silver bluetooth module to wirelessly send the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer data to a processing sketch.
I would like to record and detect gestures so that I can send OSC messages to control various audio and video software. (I already know how to send OSC)
Are there any existing libraries that can take my data and analyze it against recorded gestures? I have looked into the ezGestures library however it seems it is only applicable to basic mouse movements.
Thank you!
James
For those of you who are interested I found a piece of software that handles this exactly.
http://www.wekinator.org/
Great for those of us who aren't computer learning experts.
Seeed Studio also made this gesture detection library available for free use.

I need have a networking monitoring system that have these feature.
opensourced (must)
written by c/c++. (must)
async io mode (like io, must)
support ping, http, snmp, mysql, redis... protocal
The System must run with epoll mode so that run many test as there can, no blocking at all.
Is there any avaliable one?
I don't know if you looked on sourceforge for open source software, they have many rated network monitoring systems written in C and C++. Pandora is good but look around maybe you might find what you looking for there.>>> Link<<<

My uni is teaching a distributed system course, which has sample programs using java RMI. I would like to test those program, and practice with Python as well in the future. How would I create an environment as if I have several networked computers (or a computer cluster)? I'm not sure about VMWare, VirtualBox or the like would be applicable. Preferably, the cluster should be easily created, configured and so on. Nobody would want to individually create, set up 10 machines in VirtualBox I suppose...Thanks.
Use VMWare or VirtualBox or Parallels, etc. THose will do exactly what you're looking for. They're seen on the network as hosts (depending on the mode you have them set in). I do this all the time.
You're going to want to set up several machines, and run them. Make sure that the Network Interface is setup properly, so that they can communicate with one another. When you start getting into this virtualization stuff, you can run into some issues with the hypervisor. But that occurs normally when there's an issue with the NATing. I just use bridged mode, and it works fine for me.

Its getting to that time where we need to get some more up to date development tools. There seems to be so many schemes, subscriptions and memberships out there which promise to offer discounts on various development tools etc. Which ones are best in terms of cost and usable software.
We are a web based company and our software is creeking its getting that old. We are looking to upgrade our Microsoft (Visual Studio, Office, IIS7, etc) and Adobe/Macromedia (Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash) products. Off the shelf prices are simply scary!
How can we get the gear at a sensible rate? We are only a small team of 4.
Edit: Signed up for the WebSpark membership, thanks for the pointers guys. Anything similar for Adobe. Tried googling but it seems these things are buried away with funny names!
For MS software, have a look at WebsiteSpark program. You can receive up to 3 licenses for VS, Expression Blend, Windows Web Server 2008 (4 CPU license) and SQL Server (4 CPU license). Program is designed for small (<=10 workers) web developing companies and works for 3 years, though. After this period MS requires to buy this software providing discount.
Have you considered the Visual Studio Express Edition? It's feature-limited, but free. Conversely, full versions of Visual Studio are costly, but they're an investment in your team's development, and are -- hopefully -- but a fraction of your development budget when you consider software engineer salaries.
If you qualify Microsoft's BizSpark program might be for you.
In terms of MS products:
If you're developing with Microsoft tools and for Microsoft Platforms then the two "spark" programmes mentioned - probably WebsiteSpark in your case.
Also the Microsoft Action Pack for non-dev tools.
Aside from the above, Visual Studio with MSDN pro seems, to me, to be about the best "value" of the dev tool offerings - you need to find a local licensing guru to get the best price.
