Compiler list 

An excellent resource for compilers.

Configuring Amarok with my Sansa Fuze 

Apparently Amarok can copy files to the FUZE.  The trick is the little unlabeled button on the FUZE bar of the Amarok collection list.

Machine learning 

After my frustration with LIBSVM, I decided to look into other methods.  Weka suggests that PLS works well for my problem.  But anyway, I need to find a good package (weka is java therefore unsuitable).

Reviews.

Weka
Very good for exploring data.  I found several good algorithms (mostly linear algorithms such as PLS).  However, not a final solution because it is written in Java.

LIBSVM
Performs poorly on my data.

LIBLinear
Not yet benchmarked.

Waffles
This will be good, but currently doesn't compile due to being 64-bit clean (gcc 4.5).

dlib
Looks promising.  There is no benchmarking tool (?)

Shark
Looks promising.  Not yet benchmarked.

Shogun
I previously reviewed this, using the Octave plugin.  However, I don't remember the results.  Need to re-benchmark.
