It's much more easier and convenient to re-implement same algorithms several times in different languages, for every app., than put 'em at one place!:) Yeah, right.

Don't really know. I've had problems with its stability. However Oracle db was running very smoothly for more than two years.
> but apparantly, the U.S. is opposing a french site because France opposed the war in Iraq.
So, 'opposing the war in Iraq' is good for US? I thought that building reactors should be considered _bad_ for country (remember Chernobyl reactor catastrophe?).
More than half of world's countries were against Iraq war. Now let's try to punish them! Does G.B. has no brains or something? Apparently world will become somewhat tired of USA's behaviour and strike back.
Loudeye and Microsoft Enable Branded Digital Music Stores and Services.
Loudeye has teamed with Microsoft to enable the rapid deployment of third party branded digital music stores and services. By combining Windows Media 9 Series with Loudeye's private labeled products and services, companies can rapidly launch a customized digital music store or service for a fraction of the cost of building a solution in house. Microsoft and Loudeye are working with AT&T Wireless, Gibson Audio and others.

The Loudeye Digital Music Store is a customer-branded, turnkey solution designed for any online business to extend their brand, increase sales, retain customers and differentiate themselves in the marketplace by capitalizing on the popularity of digital music.
Next year, AT&T Wireless plans to be the first wireless carrier in North America to introduce a compelling mobile music offer utilizing Loudeye services and the Windows Media 9 Series platform. The company plans to integrate the online music store experience with all of AT&T Wireless' mMode(TM) capable phones, including the Motorola MPX200 Smartphone, enabling mobile users to discover and purchase music ranging from ringtones to full-length songs.
"As technologies advance and converge, the wireless phone will become the next major platform for music content delivery, and AT&T Wireless will be at the forefront this transformation," said John Bunyan, senior vice president of consumer data offers at AT&T Wireless. "Working with industry leaders like Loudeye and Microsoft, we will ensure it's easy and fun for customers to discover, experience, share, and buy music, while on the move."
The Loudeye Digital Music Store represents the integration of all the components necessary to create, promote and operate a digital music store online from a single company. The Loudeye Digital Music Store can quickly help businesses promote, sell music and leverage cross merchandising opportunities.
The Loudeye Digital Music Store offers the following features:

The Loudeye iRadio Service offers 100 channels of pre-programmed music delivered through a customer-branded player interface and capable of supporting delivery to a range of consumer music devices and appliances. The iRadio service can be deployed online for retailers, portals and other content companies as well as offline for consumer electronic devices and appliances, digital home entertainment systems and other digital broadcasting outlets.
"Because Gibson is new to consumer electronics, we wanted to make a statement by designing the most comprehensive digital music solution on the market, which for us meant including a powerful digital music service," said Kris Carter, President of Gibson Audio. "Loudeye gave us the ability to give the Wurlitzer Digital Jukebox a full featured digital music service in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost, it would have taken to develop ourselves."
Both products are built on the Loudeye Media Framework, a complete set of technologies and applications leveraging Loudeye's 6 years of industry experience and $60 million infrastructure investment. The Media Framework is designed to support business models including wireless ringtones, music samples, branded media players, consumer music appliances, Internet radio and digital music downloads.
What's the reason to -80C cooling, anyway? It's really far from superconducting temperatures (which probably will make things fater) and not very comfort for home use.
I suppose +20C will make absolutely same effect and is much easier to achieve.
If they can make PC case big and put a door in it, it can be used for long-term food storage.
'Internet connected refrigirator' anyone?:)
On the other side, with freezing turned off, you can cook food on CPU, which qualifies it for 'Internet connected owen'.
Useful thingie. And a computer too!
BTW, in Russia downloading music is too expensive. Average home broadband bandwidth is around 0.1$/MB. However pirated CDs full of MP3s cost about 2$ and are on sale everywhere - flea market, regular shops (govt. doesn't give a fuck). The choice of MP3s is amazing - rarities, bootlegs, full discographies, etc....
So, USA people, welcome to Russia!
Hmm...could be a good idea for business... "Fuck RIAA, buy our exclusive 'Russia CD-Tour'.".
Belorus (or Belorussia, or Belarus, or even BY all can be considered correct, AFAIK there's not much anti-Russian people) in Soviet Era was agricultiral zone of USSR. So - lots of cows and potato fields and low-tech.:) Several of big factories (mostly heavy machinery and chemical). They are idling now.
Un-official position of goverment related to Internet is like Chinese - president doesn't want educated or informed citizens. Minister for communications once stated in speech "Our grandparents didn't have Internet and lived well, why should we need it?" (it's a documented fact).
Brains are leaking from country at very high rate (to Russia, Europe, USA).
Poland (or 'Rech Pospolitaya' in past) was three times divided in old times, cutting different slices of Belorussia every time, so there are a lot polish-originating people in West of BY.
Culture is indeed distinct and very rich. Language is like a blend of Russian, Ukrainian and some Polish, and is considered to be very melodic.
They mention plans on using it in mobile phones...
AFAIK, micro-HDD aren't quite shock-resistant, compared to solid storage.
I wonder, how long such drive will live in "sporty" phone, like my Nokia 5100?
Several years ago I was setting up IP routing and servers for some 'academy'. Network gear and software was bought (not by me!) on grant from Soros Fund.
Backbone was on fiberoptics. High-end Dell servers, expensive Cisco routers, rackmount cabinets, intellectual switches, et cetera, et cetera. Lots of very, very expensive and really, really useless (for them) stuff stuff. And there was also SCO's "OS", for something about 20000$ - big and heavy box full of manuals and a couple of CDs. I can remember only their "tree" logo and a bunch of crappy GUI tools for "easy system configuration".
After spending about two days trying to get things to be at least looking good on SCO, I ended up nuking it and installing Linux (Redhat 6 or 7, dont' remember). And got it up and running in several hours. Also there were Cisco's, but it was really easy to set them up compared to SCO.:)
That network was between four buildings and contained around 50 workstations (classes only, no student quarters). It was more than enough to build backbone on thick coax and install simple hubs to endpoints. Ah, the Net connection there was 'uber-fast' for Belorussia - noisy 64K link to another town, which equals about 20K of 'real' speed.
The irony is that it all happened in Belorussia - small contry between Russia and Poland. And Belorussia was never technically advanced country, and probably never be. Well, 32K links are considered to be 'uber-fast' even now in Belorussia. (Usual salary in Belorussia is now below 100$ per month)
So, we have example of Soros Fund's money-washing using SCO OS.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Does PostgreSQL support correlated subqueries? Sometimes they come very handy. Not intending to offence anyone, just curious.
Oracle:
SELECT blah FROM table1 WHERE table1.id IN (SELECT table2.id FROM table2 WHERE table2.id2 = table1.id2)
SELECT blah FROM table1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT null FROM table2 WHERE table2.id = table1.id)
...100$ for 2GB player sounds like a good deal for me.
> a piece of crap with lots of "features"
:)
Who need stored code and views anyway?
Just imagine:
1. Web application
2. Thick GUI client
3. One more 'light' GUI client for PDAs
4. etc...
It's much more easier and convenient to re-implement same algorithms several times in different languages, for every app., than put 'em at one place!
Yeah, right.

Well, I am indeed. :)
All this fuss around online music sales is becoming to look much like dotcom bubble to me...
I for one welcome our new giant-frog overlords!
Right now I'm at home, paying exactly 0.1$/MB for reading Slashdot. :)

Yeah...bad. Just "crazed little girls" sounds better to me.

It's Microsoft-powered, but cool anyway.

How about Linux-based smartphone?
Beat this!
Just for 600$ you gonna get computer, far more inferior, than average "5 year old". Weird.
They mention plans on using it in mobile phones... AFAIK, micro-HDD aren't quite shock-resistant, compared to solid storage. I wonder, how long such drive will live in "sporty" phone, like my Nokia 5100?
More Chinese spam-relaying servers then?
