We need alternative fuels and reusable non-polluting products I totally agree with you. I was surprised that I had to go this far in the discussion to find a mention of the new source of CO2 that would provide this "recycling". WE DON'T NEED MORE PETROL. I would like my children to still be able to play in the winter snow instead of a desert. Please, pretty please.

I was only suggesting tempo and melody as an example, but I am more thinking of a "data-mining" approach. Like feeding thousand songs to a neural network and let it extract and classify interesting attributes, so that after feeding it with a new song, it could suggest other matching songs.

I think that last.fm use the data from other users to determine what music you might like. In the same way amazon suggestion system uses.
The guy here seems to work on a system which would analyze the music itself (tempo, melody,...) to find other matching tunes.
Where does it break it ? When you light a fire you use some energy to start it, it then produce it's energy alone. A heat pump needs electricity, it still produces more energy then it need. No need to break the thermodynamic laws for that.
They aim for 100% Rails compatibility (I think they are nearly there) and there are developments to allow deployment of your rails application using Java's war web archive system to a Java application server.
The problem is PHP making it more difficult for a developer to program with security in mind. Escaping a value before putting it in an input tag should not take a whole "htmlentities($dangerous_user_value)" where a quicker "he($dangerous_user_value)" could do the job with less typing. Of course you can add that function yourself, but the framework should make it easy at first.
Take the mysql_escape_string/mysql_real_escape_string thing. They could have one simple function to escape parameters of an SQL query and do the query like every other language (PreparedStatement in Java, I think perl DBI has them to, ActiveRecord for ruby on rails), but no, they assume the user is intelligent enough to escape correctly the parameters and choose the right function to do so. But PHP is often use by beginners so they don't know they need to escape parameters and they are not forced to do it so they won't know until some hackers use the hole to do some XSS tricks.
Add to that the $_* variables mess, tons of bad named and bad designed API (think implose($array, ',') and explose(',', $array)) and you have completely confused developers developing insecure web applications.
PHP was good five years ago but it has been lagging since.
I just find a bit sad that an innocent has been shocked five times just so the students can feel safe. That is not security, it just gives you a feeling of security.
I prefer to live free than to be suspected anytime I enter a library, even if the bag next to me might explode in fives mi---Connection reset by peer
Wow... Every time someone mentions here something about ID cards, everybody is raising the Holly Privacy Bible. Today, A guy which has done nothing but wanting to keep his privacy is beaten by the police and you say it's a good thing ?
Terrorism is, you know, about, uh, terror I think. It seems its working with you. By saying you are happy that this guy got tasered, you are entering their game. You acknowledge that you are afraid of them. And beside, now they can tell: "See, Americans are not respecting the rights they are promoting".

At least that's how I see it.

Maybe you can have a look at JRuby: http://jruby.codehaus.org/.

I'll have a look at that for my next PHP work, thanks for the tip.
