I work for a company that refuses to let their employees use Firefox based on "security concerns." I was referred to my supervisors for it. Yes, this is incredibly stupid, but I have no say in the matter. I've been pretty happy using opera at work, but I'm definitely going to give this a try.
What my shoe would say...

This smacks of that Phantom/HardOCP thing. As long as their lawsuit is "pending" or they're persuing "legal options," their customers (are there any? ok, fine, potential customers) will think this guy is lying. They're just trying to put off the unavoidable death of their pathetic company.
Well, maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but my site provides sheet music "open sourced" for the public. I wouldn't call anything on the site "classical" as in Mozart or Haydn, but there's solo 'cello music, quintets and concerti. Many of the works have recordings, hopefully more will in the future.
I'll be re-opening the site May 1st. for now, you can go over and vote on which piece gets released first, or visit the old site.
Well, you and a few other gents thought I was serious, so I must have been. I guess the secret to being funny is having other people know when you're kidding.
Perhaps a dumb question, but is CEMI involved with this project at all? Anyone at the college of music involved? This is the kind of project I would have died to be a part of as an undergrad.
Perhaps I oversimplified. I meant that 4'33" is not a "silent" piece as is so often claimed. The composer bristled at folks referring to his "four thirty-three" as "the silent piece."
I could have sworn the Cage 4'33" was usually performed by memory. So while the sound of the piano lid opening and closing, perhaps the performer placing his watch on the stand might be heard, there should be no pages turning.
You are correct, however, that the point of the Cage piece is environmental noise, a concept I'm sick of explaining.
Ah, it seems you are confused. Texas is the most important state in the union, just ask the President. And since this modest wireless network exists in a Texas city, it automatically trumps any much larger wireless networks in any much less important states.
What we really need to do is figure out how to disable wireless phones in an area about the size of a movie theatre or concert hall. Perhaps something slightly less lethal than a shotgun.

No, sheesh. There's no reason to fork ubuntu when there's already Moooovix.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
Dude, you missed the "Post Anonymously" checkbox.
The therom still may be valid. I understand the variables for that show are...er...inflated.
I'll be impressed when the steering wheel locks up every time the driver is talking on a cell phone.

Mr Johansen, why did you recently take a job with Apple?

Bah! I won't upgrade until the powerbook GX!
Whoa, Real is making its own OS now? Is this some new marketing strategy?
I't may eventually run FreeBSD, but I think the NetBSD folks have already have a beta out.
Exit polls showed that Nader grabbed quite a few voters from would-be Bush supporters. He did NOT cost Gore the election. Get over it.
No way, that'll just be a "bug fix" release. Hold out for Mac OS XP.
I just realized I have produced no children since I started using linux. Damn your accurate insight!

Yeah, there was that bus boycott back in the 1950s here in the states. Anyone hear how that turned out?

"Hey, can you look at this oozing sore I have on my..."
as a parent, too, I can sympathize (my 6 year old was up at 5am this morning singing in the shower) but...
Just when things were starting to improve, a few years later, along came the second.
since you're posting on slashdot, perhaps you don't know what causes this?
Whew, for a minute I thought you might think I was serious. :^)
