I looked EVERYWHERE for a web based frontend to my mp3s. The best software I found was Andromeda.
It seems to be the most intuitive interface for guests to play with too...
I think that farnsworth is talking more about the 'download, read docs, compile, install, configure' process. He's right about that too. You learn a whole lot more about the application that you're working with when you have to wade through the documentation to get the app compiled.
Let's take a moment to talk about the inheritance tax. While I'm certainly not a Bush supporter, I definitely support the Republican position in this very important area. ALL of the money that is taxed when someone dies has already been taxed AT LEAST ONCE. The person who held the money and possesions that will be taxed again already paid income tax at the very least. That is the first tax imposed by our endlessly obtrusive government. That person also paid sales tax on every item that will be passed on to the next generation. Now the government wants to step in and tax everything AGAIN? I thought that Americans were supposed to be protected (I believe that our government has completely forgotten about the Constitution...or at the very least only see it as an obstacle that needs to be subverted in order to steal more money from hard working Americans) from double taxation. Why should "rich" families be subjected to more taxes than poor people?
It was explicitly stated in the article that there are more millionaire Americans today who earned their money by working for it...not inheriting it...than ever before. You show me a millionaire and I'll show you someone who works twelve to sixteen hours a day. Why is it that these people should have to carry more of a tax burden than anyone else? They are already carrying a huge burden for society...or do you think that the work that they do is only for themselves...that nobody else benefits from the 65%-75% of their lives that they give to their jobs? It's time to give the HARDEST working Americans a tax break. And if it has to start with the inheritance tax...then so be it. They shouldn't have to fight the government for the right to give the posessions that they EARNED to their own children.
The Republican ticket is weak this year. The Democratic ticket wants to grow the government to a size never seen before in American history. Before you go to the booth this year, ask yourself this question: What does the government do that the private sector wouldn't do better? If you needed to get a package to Boston tomorrow, would you send it via Fed Ex or the US Mail? If you wanted to give to the poor, would you give your money to the Salvation Army or a politician?
The only way to fix government is to make it smaller. Don't let Al Gore buy your vote with other people's money. (Yeah...that's right...that money that the government promises to you every year comes from other people...and the government takes it forcibly. The government steals from other people to give you money). George Bush isn't any better than Gore. Robbing from the poor to give to the rich. If the government was smaller...a lot smaller...we wouldn't need to tax ANYONE at the rates that we do now. Between income tax, sales tax, taxes imposed on employers, and other misc. taxes the average American gives 47% of their paycheck to the government.
I know that one of the two large parties will win the election this year. They win EVERY year. But a vote to a third party will send a message to our two champion parties that the voters are not happy with the way Washington is being run. A vote for the Libertarian party is a vote for smaller government, lower taxes for everyone, and a candidate that will actually try to uphold ideas presented in the Constitution rather than trying to subvert them.
At the very least, I implore every reader to do their own research on each candidate before voting. Don't listen to what other people have to say...

In other news, the BBC's website slows down as Slashdot, news for nerds, reports on the BBC reporting about website slow downs...

Who would believe that someone smart enough not to write 'First Post' would get the first post?
Hmm...imagine a Beowulf Cluster of those...
