In the past year I've "discovered" Mozart, Listz (sp?) Beethoven, Copland, and other composers of orchestral music, and I'm listening to some opera. There's hundreds of years of differing styles and composers. I listen to DC101 or WHFS for about 1 week every three months to see if anything new or interesting is on (usually not) and then go back to WETA.
HTTP. I know about java, et. al. There're lots of things that can run over tcp/ip, the trouble is that people want to use a web browser as their GUI, and the browser is designed to do http. Everything else is just a bag hung on the side of the browser.
I've been doing web app development for a few months, and the stateless nature of http is a royal pain. Pretty much the only reliable way to maintain state information, in HTTP, is through cookies.
But how long will that be? If people are getting locked into proprietaryinterfaces with built in censorship, and lawsuits flying all over the place against ISPs who allow content that might offend someone, will the WWW, as we know it, last?
And what about spam? Is there any way of effectively controlling spam that doesn't also allow the effective controlling of other content? Can we have unrestricted free speech without spam?
Off-topic, this is my one thousandth slashdot comment...
digital movies on the Internet can be pilfered and hurled at the speed of light to any spot on the planet. This is what gives movie producers so many Maalox moments.

Congress must step in to protect valuable creative works on the Net
There was an article recently, can't remember where, about shipd being sent to India for breaking up and recycling. Ships with lots of asbestos and other fun stuff in them. It's too expensive to recycle them in the west, so we send them to India.
This is the text of the article, in case NYT gets/.-tted.
The NYT is not going to get slashdotted. Only during major events such as Sept 11 does the NYT have problems. And that little disclaimer doesn't qualify as "fair use" at all. You trying to get Slashdot sued for copyright violation? Because, if you are, you're going about it the right way.
Since the 1979 revolution turned television into a grim, state-controlled affair -- which most Iranians say they find biased, boring, or both -- those who could afford it have invested in the illegal, but tolerated, satellite dishes, while others have largely tuned out.
In the USA...

Think we could get that guy to broadcast to the US?
It's a class. OK, a class is a sort of type, but it's not an intrinsic type.
That said, yeah, he should use cin.getline().
Hey, at least he used #define to set the array size. Wait until you get hit with a 100,000 line program to modify where the author didn't use #define...
Stories like this, on important social issues that must be addressed, are why I read slashdot.
Why people are examining clusters in comics I don't know. Are they beowulf clusters of Marvel Superheroes? Or just load-sharing clusters of Marvel Superheroes?
I get nowhere near enough spam in my inbox to interfere with legitimate mail
At one time I was spending a couple hours a week configuring filters and deleting spam. Now I have a list of known addresses I accept mail from. Everything else goes into the spam folder. I check that once a week, takes about half an hour to go through it and move real messages to the appropriate places. Then I delete the rest.

Thank God for NPR.

I read somewhere that the RSA public key algorithm was invented at GCHQ, and kept secret, years before RSA invented it.

The COMFY CHAIR!
IIRC, a cubit is roughly 3 feet (1 meter). I think the ladies would run screaming for the exits if they saw that waving around!
After all, it's just the wogs dying, right?

Well, the whole point of it is that it's warm. So, yeah, it isn't cool.
You and me are the only people who feel that way.

If an antimatter galaxy collided with this galaxy that'd ruin your whole day, wouldn't it?
Yummy on Cheerios.
Well, that would depend on how fast the anti-hydrogen atoms are moving, wouldn't it?
Here's Dvorak's latest...
is the funniest thing I've seen on slashdot in months.

mea culpa. I'm seeing more zeros than are really there. (Story of my life...)
No, it's thousandths. ;)
The early cr-recorders used cartridges. So did most of the Bernoulii-type MO disks. People didn't like the cartridges.
