New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs

Coolnat2004 writes "Ever get a song stuck in your head, but you missed the DJ announcement of the song name? That's the idea powering a new cell phone-based service called 411-SONG. Just call 866-411-SONG, and hold your phone up to the speaker. 15 seconds later the call ends and the information on your song is displayed on your phone's screen. This comes at a price, though. 99 cents for your first 5 songs, and then 99 cents a song after that. However, nbc4.com reports that a subscription model may be coming soon. Wouldn't this technology be great for fixing up all those ID3 tags?"

    Happened to me too today. Confusing at first, but I remember it happened before.

    Slashdot uses MySQL - what do you expect?

    They should use PostgreSQL version 8, a full SQL implementation which is ACID compliant, highly scalable, highly available, enterprise-level and open source (BSD/BSD style license) which is deployed in literally thousands of production applications worldwide.

    MySQL isn't the right tool for the job. What job is it the right tool for? Well we could have the gov't give it to Al Qaeda which would mess them up and thus help us in the War on Terror.
