So it sounds like this is a ripe area for the next generation of home software -- setting up cookies and such on your machine in order to get the lowest price when online shopping (you heard it here first, folks)
Thanks for the tip, now we know who to watch.

There was an open source/freeware project being worked on in Sweden several years ago - the only information I can find on it now is here. It might help if I spoke something besides English...
They were using an NT machine to do some of the work, but the database behind it all was MySQL. They were working towards a web interface too. The database layout from that or another project could be really useful - especially if they can handle everything thrown at them by OCLC and MARC records.
I say with the sql tables, MySQL, PHP, Apache, and more free time than you have - you could come up cool. (All that except MySQL is already on those OSX boxes.)
I'm surprised the library software market doesnt have a great open source solution - you would think it would have grown up around Unix in the 70s and 80s. I guess geeks never spent enough time in the library (thats what my dad, the librarian, says).
(I used to work at VTLS too... left in about '95)

CD Storage Advice?
·
· Score: 1
Billy bookcases from Ikea are great for this, or any tall bookcase. The problem with other storage solutions is they are for "average" users. The biggest cd case/container I've seen are for 1000 or 1500. That doesnt begin to cover some cd collections I've seen. To maximize the space you've got to go higher, so get a tall bookcase. The one I bought from Ikea holds 1440 cds for under $100.
On the other hand, maybe he'll attract groupies in tinfoil hats. I've used that machine - and I think it's great. I had no idea it had a camera though....
I hate the 9 to 5 world - I need to send packages out for my side job, and now I dont have to piss my day job boss off to do it. Just have to find a ski mask now...
um, no, youre risking $50.... and the odds you'll have to pay out are 50 times the number you suggested... but the average amount you and all the other yous in parallel universes would pay is the amount you listed.
I need some tinfoil too...... but I dont think I can stand Canada, much too cold. Those with tinfoil hats and anti-bush folks are welcome to suggest other decent places to consider living once the US finishes its fall.
Bush's desire for NASA funding for anything?! Are you serious? That is what we call 'pandering'. He knew it had no chance, but it would get him some good will...
That is not going to happen because too many of the people running these small businesses have personal relationships with their customers.
.. and their customers happen to be small businesses themselves.
Why bother kicking bad users off? Why bother to let them know they've been caught? Just start feeding them bogus or real data - and then ignore their results. Let them figure out they've been caught.

Tinfoil hat aside ... remember when it was {of|by|for} the people?
Where can I pick up a hunting permit for lobbyists?

just for fun, insert 'Microsoft' in this discussion everytime someone writes 'Microsoft' and see if you feel the same way.
uh, okay, now what?

Assuming the average person is in debt (lay offs, off shoring, etc.) - wouldnt this 'rich' person be in massive debt?
At least the Perl community hasn't rigged up PBS.pm that breaks in while a program is running to ask for money....
