I'm trying to implement a chess bot using an opening library.
I've downloaded an opening book file (opening.bin) from Scid.
Is there a viewer utility available for download ?
Sorry for answering the question late. Basically, you should use polyglot for opening the .bin file. The .bin format is a format invented by Polyglot's author, and it makes sense to use his code to open it. Take a look of polyglot's source, book.cpp, it has everything you need even selecting a random move. Alternatively, you could study the source code for Fruit and Stockfish, both chess engines use the .bin opening books.
In general, don't ask chess questions on stackoverflow, ask on talkchess.com.

Is there a library I can use to parse CSV files in C. I am on a Linux system. I know about this but it is in C++ and I need something in C. Don't want to go through the pain of debugging and testing if someone has already done it.
Take a look at libcsv, which is a CSV library written in ANSI C89.
There's a simple CSV parser library that's described in the excellent book The Practice of Programming by
Kernighan and Pike, and the source is available from the site linked to.
Parsing a CSV is no too much complicated, depend of the CSV structure, take a look at the strtok function.

I am looking into starting my own brand of clothing. I have the sample material and a logo but the embroider has asked me to provide a PES file for her to use with her Brother Embroidery Machine. I have looked into changing my .jpg or my .png file into a .pes file but i have had no luck. It looks like there is a lot more to it than a simple conversion.
My question here is would anyone be able to create a .pes file for me if i provide the logo? If not would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on how i could create it myself?
Thanks
There are quite a few programs that can do this conversion, but it usually requires a bit of know how, and usually the software is fairly expensive. Here are a couple of the more affordable products.

You might want to turn the image to a more embroidery style image first, which you can do with the following:

Did you try Embroidermodder? It's a famous open source solution for editing digital embroidery files.
It's strange that its creator Josh Varga answered this question without pointing you to it!

I want to create a console "shell" for an embedded device.
anyone knows about an open-source implementation of such a thing in c ?
I need basic line parsing to commands & arguments.
Something similar to uboot - console shell will be great.
You may find usefull piece of codes in this shell a friend of mine is writting.
His aim is to learn issues regarding the shell coding, so this project should keep small and easily readable.
There is/was the book "Linux application development"
It implements a Shell as example. I found this quite convincing.

I'd like to find applications written, for example, on the Microsoft Silverlight platform. However, popular search engines such as the one integrated into SourceForge only list the root language, such as C#, and say little about XAML or Silverlight.
Does such a directory exist?
The only one that I know of is the Gallery at http://www.silverlight.net, but that is a listing of websites/projects done in Silverlight, but not open source (although some of them may be).
A search on http://www.codeplex.com for Silverlight does come up with a bunch of things though, it all depends on what you are looking for.

Is there a simple database program to let me collect, sort, tag, and reguritate trivia questions and answers?
If something already exists in Open Source, can you point me to that? I have assembly programming skills (cue jokes) but not so much in the Perl,LINQ,Delphi,VB, C#, Java arena.
Your task will not be very difficult. It would be a good way to learn C# (which I most recommend for this because of the ease of creating GUIs with it). You could just store the data in a text file or a serialized dictionary.
If your database is going to get big, you might consider using SQLite instead (which stores the database as a regular file). I don't know the state of C# bindings for SQLite, but there probably are some.
Good luck!
