I have a question regarding google app engine.
Let us say you are working on a project and you want to have 5 developers on it.
How will the collaboration be carried out? SVN, CVS - anything of that sort for the google app engine?
The collaboration is for a private project.
After adding them to your application in the Permission Pane of the admin console, developers will be able to deploy new application version using appcfg.py command.
People usually create multiple application version for each developer, or multiple applications if they want to isolate development data from production.
Each application version is addressable through: versionname.appid.appspot.com
You can use whatever Version Control System you want, and host it where ever you want. Google App Engine doesn't restrict you to using any specific ones, nor have one integrated (why would it?).
I personally use Git (and eventually GitHub) for my App Engine project, but I could have used any other- it's entirely what you think your team would work best with.

Is there a way to force Zxing library to scan text only? I am looking for the offline (non-cloud) solution to scan text in windows phone.
OR
The integrated Bing vision successfully scans text from the image. Is there a way to call the same task in our application (something like Microsoft.Phone.Tasks)?
If you're looking for OCR solutions, you could use this so post.
Regarding bing vision - there's no support for third-party developers yet. Though there's a project called Hawaii (yes, it's cloud-based) that's probably going to be the gateway for bing vision ocr.
As far as i know, there's no native .NET OCR engines. In theory, you could use any OCR SDK that worked for Win CE (as long as WP7 is based on it), but in practice - i haven't seen any working solution yet and all OCR applications for WP7 that i've seen were based on cloud services. I can point you to some ready to go cloud solutions if you'd change your mind about web API.

Not to be confused with Shared hosting providers supporting RavenDB or other similar questions. I do not need a web host, nor want to deploy RavenDb in Embedded or Web Site mode...
Question: Are there any cloud service providers for RavenDB, like MongoHQ and MongoLab for the MongoDB platform?
Edit: RavenHQ and Cloudbird are two providers, but they are not in production - answers should only include those that are currently available.
After a lot of searching, conversations with RavenDB folks on Jabbr.net and speaking to some provider companies we have a answer:
RavenHQ.com and Cloudbird.net provide such services. RavenHQ is ready for production and in the US East zone, while Cloudbird is in beta and in the EU West zone.
http://www.ravenhq.com should be live any day as Ayende mentioned in the latest RavenDb videos on tekpub
UPDATE
RavenHq is now live on AppHarbor
http://blog.appharbor.com/2012/02/17/hosted-ravendb-on-appharbor
http://www.cloudbird.net/ I've seen this mentioned but same as http://www.ravenhq.com/ they don't give much detail. I also don't know who the authors of cloudbird are.
Otherwise, you could just use an EC2/Azure to host it? (I've seen Azure and RavenDB talked about on Twitter, there is some github projects with instructions)

I am doing a project in the university which requires running of multiple instances (1000s) of a program I've written (in C++), which runs for quite a while (say 2 hours). The program is very self contained - it does not require input files, and the only dependency I think is boost.
I'm currently using the university-owned cluster of computer. However, it's quite old and the jobs dispatching and monitors services are pretty bad.
So I was wondering whether I can run my jobs elsewhere, for some money. For example, I looked a bit into Google App Engine, but as it seems every job must end after 30 seconds it is not suitable for me. Maybe Amazon EC2?
Do you know of such options?
Amazon EC2 is the classic approach for this.
Google App Engine is great, but probably to restrictive for your use case.
EC2 is definitely a very good option, as Peter says. Since you're at a university I'm guessing that cost may be an important factor, so take a look at Rackspace's cloud service as well; depending on what kind of server resources you need, this can work out quite a bit cheaper than EC2. (I don't work for Rackspace).

Amazon did a great job by providing an online calculator for AWS; resides here:
http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html
Which really helps to find your way among a swarm of cloud options.
Is there similar a tool for GAE (Google App Engine) or Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft will have a calculator and other tools around PDC.
newdesic has a tool that you can use - http://azureroi.cloudapp.net/
Not that I'm aware of. Of course, lacking tiered pricing, calculating costs for App Engine is very straightforward - just multiply expected usage by cost-per-unit for each of the 5 dimensions.
There is an unofficial billing calculator for Google App Engine.
I tried this diagnostic tool which seems good for making an estimation:

Does anyone know of a good open source plugin for database querying and exploring within Eclipse?
The active Database Exploring plugin within Eclipse is really geared around being associated with a Java project. While I am just trying to run ad-hoc queries and explore the schema. I am effectively looking for a just a common, quick querying tool without the overhead of having to create a code project. I have found a couple open source database plugins for Eclipse but these have not seen active development in over a year.
Any suggestions?
I use SQL Explorer.
It comes as an Eclipse plugin or standalone.
http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/
I use Quantum DB, and it seems to work quite well.
