I hope that you're not downloading studio releases of the bands you mentioned (WSP and SCI) and the like (Phish, the Dead, etc.). These bands offer up their live music for free consumption for the benefit of those that are unable to make it to all the shows, and to promote a good music community.
Official Releases are a different manner, however. Downloading these recordings directly cuts into an artists profits (since their money doesn't go to the RIAA) and defeats the spirit off "freedom of music" as you call it.
ProTools is the one software package that has kept me from switching to a 100% OSS system at home. My band does all of it's recording in my home studio and I've been waiting for something like this for years.
I'll certainly be keeping my eye on this project as it develops, looking forward to 1.0
Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

The point is, it's not just new artists targetted at the 18-25 market...all of music is sucking ass lately.
Or perhaps something open and free, such as CDex for all your ripping pleasures.
I know, it doesn't include a player, but Winamp3 has just been released, which is still free, and you can delete the wonderful AOL shortcuts it now creates.
That was most likely for some 1.x version of Apache. The Windows version of Apache 2.0 has been written as a native Windows application, instead of being ported like earlier versions. Now it performs as well, or better than, IIS 5.0.
we're a bunch of fat asses. The only reason most of us Americans get up from our couches is to waddle to the fridge or take a piss (during the comercial break, of course).

OpenSSL Security Update

· Score: 2, Informative
From the bugtraq announcement:
Package : openssl Problem type : multiple remote exploits Debian-specific: no CVE : CAN-2002-0655 CAN-2002-0656 CAN-2002-0657 CAN-2002-0659
The OpenSSL development team has announced that a security audit by A.L. Digital Ltd and The Bunker, under the DARPA CHATS program, has revealed remotely exploitable buffer overflow conditions in the OpenSSL code. Additionaly, the ASN1 parser in OpenSSL has a potential DoS attack independently discovered by Adi Stav and James Yonan.
CAN-2002-0655 references overflows in buffers used to hold ASCII representations of integers on 64 bit platforms. CAN-2002-0656 references buffer overflows in the SSL2 server implementation (by sending an invalid key to the server) and the SSL3 client implementation (by sending a large session id to the client). The SSL2 issue was also noticed by Neohapsis, who have privately demonstrated exploit code for this issue. CAN-2002-0659 references the ASN1 parser DoS issue.
These vulnerabilities have been addressed for Debian 3.0 (woody) in openssl094_0.9.4-6.woody.0, openssl095_0.9.5a-6.woody.0 and openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.0.
These vulnerabilities are also present in Debian 2.2 (potato), but no fix is available at this moment.
We recommend you upgrade your OpenSSL as soon as possible. Note that you should restart any daemons running SSL. (E.g., ssh or ssl-enabled apache.)
Does anyone know if you can perform an FTP based installation a la FreeBSD? I did a quick search and it looks possible with 7.x, but I couldn't find anything on 8.x or 9.0 beta.

You still have to 'reply', but only to the original article. Just click the big REPLY button at the top of the page, just under Katz's drivel.
I know this is off-topic, but why isn't that button labeled "Create Thread" or something similar? It took me longer than it should have to figure out how to post without replying to someone else.
Check out the Mozilla Evangelism site. They keep up a list of sites that are not standards-compliant (and therefore don't render well in Moz), including a list of specific bugs and their status for each site.
I don't know why this post was moded "Troll", but such is life.
I believe some sort of noise gate would be the best solution and the easiest to implement. Since it appears that there isn't any open or free software to accomplish you goal, this would probably be the cheapest, hardware-wise. If you haven't purchased mics yet, there are many that include filters and echo elimination built in.
It is very doubtful that your entire program will need all the features named in this list. A better solution might be to develop your program as a set of components, which can be written in whichever language is suited for the purpose. However, this could present problems with the portability (until.NET for *nix is released;).
If they do somehow control it, it'll be interesting to see how the RIAA reacts to this.
If they really can limit the content to live shows of bands with open tape trading policies, then there isn't a damn thing that the RIAA can do.
There are hundreds of excellent jam bands (Grateful Dead, Phish, MMW, etc.) with trading policies that allow the trading of live material over a digital medium.
You might want to check out South Dakota's distance learning network. They have wired all their K-12 Schools into a state-wide network providing e-mail, web and dns services for each school along with video conferencing, interactive whiteboards, etc.
Check out the Connecting the Schools page for more info and contacts.

Well, perhaps not all music. For my money, there are still some acts out there with real musical talent.
Or perhaps something open and free, such as CDex for all your ripping pleasures.

The number one reason was performance.
That was most likely for some 1.x version of Apache. The Windows version of Apache 2.0 has been written as a native Windows application, instead of being ported like earlier versions. Now it performs as well, or better than, IIS 5.0.
E-Week has an article on this.

Give it some thought.

Best of luck to this project.
My problem is that after a long gaming session, my mouse hand is cold and clammy (poor circulation, I suppose :).
How about making a heated mouse garage?
Also, check out Etree if you are interested in getting or distributing live shows in Shorten format from bands that allow taping and trading.
