A difference about this one is that it looks at the songs you've already played--not like last.fm which only looks at songs as you play them. Hence the recommendations are generated alot faster ---instant satisfaction...well assuming it works for you
Some folks have decided to continue where blue security left off - apparently they recently also got the source code (and presumably best wishes) from blue
Why would the spammers be 'hellbent' on taking down bluesecuritie's site, *after* blue posted the message saying they were going out of business. Just for fun?
History of Math/Fun Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea- I really liked it. It's a short, fast moving, entertaining account all about zero and the history of mathematics.
In the article, it mentioned that not all boston schools decided to refuse the subpoenas. I'm glad that Northeastern makes the news by complying with the threats. I'm definitely wondering who the one student at Northeastern is that got a subpoena, and I'm looking forward to our newspaper doing some sort of article on it.
Actually they have up to a year after public disclosure to patent it.
International patents on the other hand are another story.
I would be very surprised if they don't have some sort of patent already pending for this, at least a provisonal one.
I recently bought this book, and I've made my way through about chapter 4. I've laughed out loud at the goofiness several times, and have learned a great deal.
It's really an enjoyable read, and after I complete this I can't wait to try some of the other books coming out in the head first series.
The next one is head first ejb, in august, according to headfirstjava.com
Another thing is that all the examples featured OS X as the operating language, but it's completely independent. I was considering buying the other O'Reilly book Java and Mac OS X, but I'm really glad I got this one instead.

His campaign managers really know how to make folks feel involved in a grassroots campaign, and yet still rake in the dough.
He'll probably get thousands of great resumes, from people who would love to volunteer for free; comparing him to say Bush, who would contract that out for big $$$.
The NRA gives him a A rating, he's for the death penalty, in favor of the 'drug war', and wants a balanced budget.
He calls himself a social liberal and fiscal conservative.
And Nader has said (paraphrasing) that he liked Dean's speeches, but not his past performance in Vermont.
Nader won't run if Kucinich gets the democratic nomination, but most likely will if Dean (or anyone else) does.
This coming from a liberal, I love Dean's use of the internet, and the fact that he has more than a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but I like Kucinich's stance on issues better.
Could this be a sign that a serious contender for President (tied for first for the nomination in the latest polls) has his head screwed on right about copyright law?"
Not really.
From Lessig's blog:
Good point, and I should have made this clear: Dean's guest blogging says nothing about Dean's views about the issues I've been pushing here. I've never discussed these issues with any member of the Dean campaign.
Upset cause I submitted this story 6 hours earlier, but happy cause Howard Dean's effective use of the internet to generate buzz (and $$$) excites me.
the problem as i see it, is that they didn't respond to the guy in a timely manner.
i just don't understand why companies wouldn't do something as simple as this, in order to avoid all this negative press.
Seriously, how does BN stay in business

Every single book that's ever been reviewed on slashdot is significantly cheaper ($19.16 vs $16.17) at amazon (no affil.)
or here(my affil.)
I did quite a bit of research on a low cost book scanner awhile ago, because the though of not having to lug around a heap of books from class to class is a dream come true.
I hope this technology really takes off, and they find a way to make the whole thing a bit smaller/cheaper.
I bet textbook publishers are scared silly about this..

Yeah, I wanted this too, so me and a buddy created tunebounce.com (free download for mac and pc)

but if anyone could do this, amazon certainly would be my top pick for succeeding at something like this, and i would cheer them on all the way
he looks very funny.
I don't know if you've read Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, but you just summed up the book, :-)
I suggest reading it if you haven't.
Physics:
Motion Mountain Physics free text-900 page pdf which seems pretty damn good, I found it about a month ago.
Feynman Lectures On Physics
Basic Physics: A self teaching guide

God I'm such an amazon whore. Flame away.
passthelove.com lets people find dvds, books, and music to 'share the love' on and save 10%.
tunebounce.com is a music reccomendation and rating engine that uses Amazon's similiarity search to find related artists.
