In my organization, we have people at several locations in the US and abroad. For Lunch & Learn sessions, I sometimes download educational videos (Creative Commons License) and would like to broadcast them to participants at our other locations.
I have being using GotoMeeting, but the results are poor -- the remote videos cannot keep up with the broadcast video, even though we have very fast Internet connections (50/20 at most locations).
Is there some software, either free or low cost, that I can install on my Mac (OS X 10.8.5) that will allow me to stream the videos, with me having control over pausing, etc. (I pause when when someone wants to discuss some aspect of the video)? All of the participants are on a VPN and can access my Mac's IP address.
I would rather not have to set up a whole web application to do this.
Although my preference is for Mac OS X software, Windows software will also work for me.
VLC media player is a free tool on both Mac OSX and Windows which can broadcast a video stream. I have never used this function myself though, so I can't explain in detail how to use it.

I can see that there are utilities to keep an MBP awake (such as 'Caffeine'), but would you know if it's possilbe to operate an MBP in clamshell mode without the monitor being connected?
The best utility to do this, in my experience, is InsomniaX.
Note that in the above link, there are a number of suggested alternatives under 'Similar Software' such as 'No Sleep' and the popular 'Caffeine'. However, none of these apps will stop the Mac from going to sleep once you close the lid (a.k.a. the 'Clamshell' mode).
There is also a utility called Smart Sleep which allows you to set refined preferences to affect your MBP's sleep behaviour and it has an Insomnia plugin. However, this does not work reliably and I would recommend using the standalone InsomniaX instead.

I am running a project on cubieboard and it is fine enough. But current project require a same configuration with embedded GPRS(with sim card holder) and GSM module. If I implement it with USB 3G dongle and GPS device the cost is not acceptable. I want a embedded solution which can save cost.
Can any one tell me cost effective way to implement GPRS and GPS in cubieboard ?
or
Alternative Single board computer with same feature like 4GB NAND, ARM Processor and Linux Kernel (u-boot) with GPRS & GPS module support ?
A (relatively) cost-effective way I've came across is this:
http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/GPS/GPRS/GSM_Module_V3.0_%28SKU:TEL0051%29
It is arduino compatible, however, I believe that you are experienced enough (or willing to become) to configure it for the cubieboard.

If I understand things correctly, at the end of the year Google Code will be shutting down most of what is useful for an open source project I help maintain, described below.
I'm wondering what the current alternatives are to Google Code? I'm looking for a site that has the following attributes, some of which are attractive about Google Code (but which will not be available soon or in the long term):
free
svn/mercurial/git version control services that we can use to manage code and share trunk/branches with the public
hosts files (source code and prebuilt binaries) with reasonable storage (we currently have a 4 GB quota, but we don't use much of it, at this time)
offers wiki-like or relatively free-form web space to publish documentation (text and graphics)
I guess we could "roll our own" server to do all of this, but then it becomes a maintenance issue for all the services that run in the background. So I'm wondering if there are other companies that offer this kind of setup for open source projects?
(Note: While this is a software development question, it is more about the distribution side of things. If this is the wrong spot for this question, feel free to comment on where I should move it. Thanks for your help, hiveminds.)
Google code isn't shutting down, it's just stop hosting binaries.
For your binaries you have Bintray.com.
Bintray is a social platform for community-based software distribution. It is also the only platform that integrates developer tools (Build tools, etc.) and APIs, allowing full process automation, including auto-generating of indexes for multiple repository formats and also, the platform is highly available and optimized to deliver high-performance downloads (CDN).
Microsoft's codeplex would fit these needs

I need to port a .Net application from Windows to OS X and I am wondering what are the advantageous and disadvantageous of using either Monobjc or MonoMac and what peoples experience with these are.
App Requirements
Native UI
Scripting Bridge (or alternative) for Inter-application Communication will need to be both ways i.e. calling the ported application from another and having another application call the ported application.
Growl integration for notifications.
What would be the best option considering the requirements above.
For item 1 if you carefully read the below article, you will see why MonoMac was born and why you should now use it,
http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Apr-19.html
After these two years, MonoMac has already grown to be a giant in this field. Unless you are maintaining an old project built upon other bindings, you should consider MonoMac as your first option.
It does not matter whether you use MonoMac or another binding, as the last two items are not closely related to item 1.
For IPC you can consider WCF (limited support from Mono), Thrift (http://thrift.apache.org/) and many others.
Growl is not a Mac OS X API. For such vendor specific stuffs you should consult the vendor.

I am facing the current problematic: I want people to send me softwares they develop, then I want to share them to other people, in sandboxed mode, that is to say with no need to have a sandbox software...
For example, you have softwares that can manage archives, and you have auto-extracted archives.
I'd like to know if this kind of software exists: you just give it the software you want to wrap, and it gives you a sandboxed type of this soft...
Then you can share it to anybody with trust that it won't harm their computer.
Do anyone know about that on the Windows OS?
Take a look at Molebox. There exist other similar solutions but I don't remember the names.
