"The Tech boom is gone, And will probably not happen again."
Not so! It may be gone for now, but mark my words the next tech boom is the semantic web. Companies will want their services exposed via webservices so that intelligent agents can search for goods and services automatically. This will mark a new era in terms of data accessibility, much like the internet boom in the 90's.
If genetic modification makes you look anything more like the kids in the picture from that article, then we have nothing to worry about - it won't catch on.
On the other hand.. imagine a beowolf cluster of GM-Humans..

There is already something like this out there, that uses loads of cool independant and smaller label stuff as well as some massive label stuff..
Check out Last.FM, they are very good. I've found a load of new artists from there. It is all stream based (128kbps) and they have a massive flash development section starting for open source goodness.
There's also the (all open source) Audioscrobbler project.. see my.sig:)
I guess if you run a website and are concerned about getting/.'ed you could just stick a couple of lines of code in that redirects any traffic from slashdot.org to another site.. (*cough* goatse *cough*) or just deny any traffic from slashdot.
Slashdot can't mirror sites - that opens up a nasty can of legal worms
Hey:)
Glad to see Audioscrobbler got another mention, it's come a long way since the first posting.
I kept the SF projects separate as they will be run by different people, eg Russ is resposible for WA3 and Sam for iTunes...
There'll be a new "Similar Users" algorithm going live on the site in a few days:)

Sorry, but just getting the Google logo and crudely crossing out the G to replace with an R is a bit lame.
Not impressed.
They have blatently copied the Google look and feel, something which is probably illegal, and certainly annoying.
I've been talking with robert from musicbrainz (audioscrobbler will be using TRM technology soon) and ben from agentarts. I'm gonna be using some agentarts data, and i will make all my data available freely when i've implemented the TRM system to sort out badly named songs.
i also want to syndicate the data (xml/rss) so ppl can stick live info on their blogs/websites.. this wont happen till i move servers tho.
i'm not gonna run off and give the data to the riaa or start emailing you crappy adverts. its a uni project that's about half way thru. the project will run and run tho- i'm not gonna shut it down.
Should i ever get border of it (unlikely) there are plenty of ppl that will take over. i'll just slap it on sourceforge.
i want to steer clear of filesharing to avoid getting savaged by the RIAA etc.. but i'm planning on exposing the data so other people can write "unofficial" addons to do stuff like this, which hopefully won't get me in trouble:)
Hmm "Electronic Theft"
Downloading an MP3 of your favourite song isn't THEFT, it's COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. You're not stealing the song, you're infringing on the copyright of the copyright owner.

That's my reckoning anyway

last.fm might be for you then.

You could look into providing some kind of web-services feel to the computation, and then use an open-source provenance server.
A provenance server might handle the recording of queries, results etc. Not sure how many good open source ones there are.
What happens if i get this WinCE code and add some new code to it that is based on GPL code?

An honest post if ever i saw one.

That's about all floppy disks are good for anyway
Hi,
Is it true that you LOVE the Cock?
Well done Taco,
Subtle, yet funny.
Tin-foil hat time :)
If only there were more rulings like this one, maybe it would make spammers think twice if they knew they could be fined.
I want to see this guy fined per DELIVERABLE message aswell though.

Next, I want to see a webserver inserted into a live fly, connected via bluetooth.
:P
The fly has to then be seen buzzing around in that glass box, not stuck on a stick
So how does one compromise a router?
:P
do you have to get physical access to it? i've not really heard of people hijacking routers, anyone have any info on this?
not that i fancy trying it, just interested
The reason the code is not available under the GPL right now is that the project is not "finished" with regards to my university degree course.
I'm not sure if i'm allowed to (university regulations) put the code up as GPL until i hand in the final project on May 8th this year.
I will find out tomorrow when i go to uni, and post an article on audioscrobbler.com explaining the status.

I was kinda hoping NOT to get slashdotted for a few days - i'm moving to a bigger better server soon. :P
The site is currently hosted by my Uni, no wonder the webserver ground to a halt..Oh well at least i dont have to pay for the bandwidth used at uni :)
The site's gonna be pretty slow for a few days, but please bookmark it and revisit soon- should have much more bandwidth and a faster server..
I could do with some help developing the XMMS plugin and the winamp 3 plugin. All the source code will appear on the site soon (GPL).

I agree with cioxx; when you download an MP3, you're not STEALING anything, you're INFRINGING on someones COPYRIGHT.
There is a difference.
Hmm "Electronic Theft"

SLASHDOT crowd coming!!
lol
If the RIAA own copyrights for so much music (is this correct?), and they cease to be, then what happens to those copyright rights?
