But that defeats the whole point. It isn't about what music you have available to you, it is about what you *really* listen to.
Just because I have the Bee Gees and The Carpenters on my drive doesn't mean I'd ever want to listen to them. I have music for my whole family on my drive.
The Sakai Project is a community source software development effort to design, build and deploy a new Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE) for higher education
As far as I know, creating an alternative to Blackboard is the primary focus of the project.
I also wish that there was a site that listed all the items in the various grocery stores in the city
It isn't that they are behind the times. They don't want this information easily searchable. Most items for sale in a grocery store are loss leaders, meaning they actually loose money when you buy them. However it is very difficult for most people to go into a grocery store and *only* buy the products that are on sale.
I go to buy a gallon of milk and it costs me $50 in all of the other stuff that I "need".
I tried a.dom venture with a friend to make software to put grocery stores online. We were laughed out of the store every single time! That didn't last long.
I've had a guitar for about a year and I've putzed around and really still don't know anything about it. But I finally convinced my wife that lessons are a good thing. My son is also starting lessons, both of us this week.
Yeah!
And I'm also getting a Digitech GNX3 as a shiny new toy.
I just pointed IE at a non-existing proxy server (10.0.0.1). Firefox can then be set up to either use my real proxy (Squid on Linux so I can track what sites my kids visit) or letFirefox use no proxy if you don't have one.
Then IE never comes back and Firefox is nice and snappy.
I'm all for the Apache project and use many of their projects in my own open source project. However, the J2EE spec is *HUGE*. JBoss is already an Open Source implementation. Might it be a better effort to contribute and make JBoss stronger?
Most songs that make it onto my playlists are because a close friend recommends it
That's one of the reasons that I use AudioScrobbler. My brother lives about 500 miles away from me and we can see what each other is listening to. I'm pretty comfortable listening to just about anything in his playlist. He's a freshman in college and I'm an old fart. This allows me to learn about a lot of new music.
Hey now, I'd agree that a Miata is a girl car, but the MR2??? Come on!!!
Just kidding! I drive an MR2 Spyder.
I love going to autocrosses and watching the roll and sway of the Mustangs and Corvettes and then watching a tight little Miata / MR2 / Impressa WRX beat them!
Yes, I ran into the "base64" encoding assumption but once pointed in the right direction we were golden
What is this "base64" encoding assumption you speak of? What is the assumption and how is it incorrect?
I'm in the middle of a SOAP project that is currently all Java. We do base64 encode all of our content so I hope I'm not causing problems if someone wants to go crazy and write some VB for the other end.
Thanks.
So Microsoft wants to use open standards like XML, UDDI and WSDL. Presumably, Microsoft will have to open the public interface to calling their services. If they don't open the interface, Palm, Mac, and Linux couldn't invoke these services.
So with an open interface to the service, what is to stop me from creating my own gnuPassport service with the exact same well defined interface? I could then openly authenticate users just as Microsoft authenticates users in their closed service.
Every time Microsoft creates a new service, that they will presumably charge money for, we would create an open interface that is freely available.
The Microsoft developers might be silly enough to hard code the links to their own private UDDI server, but that would be a relatively easy crack to redirect to an open UDDI server.
The article states that the Kerberos authentication might be required to use Microsoft's proprietary extensions, but a simple Samba server would fix this.
So when I read this article, I don't see it as Microsoft moving to dominate the Internet. I see this as Microsoft relinquishing full control of the Windows desktop to services on the Internet. There doesn't seem to me to be any way for Microsoft to stop an open implementation of all of their services.

Ya, and neither does my wife! *That's* why I force both of us to use debit cards.

No, it isn't romantic unless you spend the DeBeers required two months salary on the thing.
This book has so many applicable quotes:
"The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of freedom and independence by daring to exercise them."

Actually, they only got rid of 30 Sun boxes. They got rid of 560 Wintel boxes!

I don't have anything to barter, but I do want to say that my kids absolutely LOVE your game!
Thanks!
Okay, I'm pretty much off topic here, but the story does mention DreamWeaver.
Anyway, what's the best DreamWeaver-like site manegement tool for Linux?

The project that I wrote uses SAML to pass authentication information to the various data providers.
Anyone interested in it can check out the project at http://www.nchelp.org/Meteor.htm.

Here is a wrapper DLL that some friends of mine wrote. Take a look and see if it fits your needs.

Its too late. Microsoft Office 10 is already slated to cure cancer.
No, it's all about the Man trying to line his pockets any and avery way he can.!
Wow, and I'm sure that Nader's anti-corporate beliefs would be fairly discussed at all of the large corporations!!
Give me a break, the government shouldn't regulate a dang thing about voting because they'll only screw it up
