Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wasn't clear -- I actually meant to say something more like "can handle authenticating via mechanisms other than just its own internal accounts" but then I don't know the setup you have in mind. Still, yes, big: it's the thing behind wikipedia, but it scales down a lot less well than it scales massive.

(D'oh! Just now read BBaBB -- oh, that wiki question...)

And on that note, are we looking for something php/mysql based?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, yeah. Conversation in two places. Sorry! Yes. PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58.

I'll poke through my notes -- I evaluated a metric assload of wiki implementations at work last year; it might as well turn out to be good for something.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Which open-source wiki is right for you?

PhpWiki looks promising - php & mysql.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Iiiiiiiiinteresting:

Apple will next week announce that it's going to start selling full-length movie downloads through the iTunes Music Store, if the forecast of a US market watcher is correct.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

They've been talking about that for eight months. I'll be really interested to see if they are actually able to go through with it. I mean, what would the file size and type be? Could you only play it in iTunes? Would it therefore transform iTunes (as it more or less is now) from a music application to an all-around media application, like WMP?

I'd assume it'd be like watching the TV shows from iTunes, just longer.

Hey. New board.

iTunes technically IS an all-around media player. It's basically a wrapper to Quicktime.

Mmm. I just never viewed it that way until they started incorporating tv; for whatever reason, I see it as a big step to being standard media player.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I am trying to troubleshoot my TiVO again. This is not fun. Anyone know where I can get an extra IR cable?

eta - Nevermind. Found it on the TiVO site finally. Can't make it easy, can they.
