Very interesting. One question: Could this in any way (at some time in the future, clearly not yet) provide a mechanism for PHP's lack of threads? I don't mean actual threads, but perhaps exploiting node.js's callback mechanism to sync the

Try writing to your own MP. You'll almost certainly get a reply. If he/she's not interested, then try engaging Tom Watson MP's interest. Odd for a ministry department not to respond, though.

This is great writing. It might not satisfy those looking for a studied approach to the topic, but it's definitely real world. Made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.

It's "couldn't care less". When you say "could care less" you are endorsing the claim of American Kids Getting Dumber. If you still don't get it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7O0MFkmpw

Like the workaround to this problem that someone suggested on twitter: As an alternative to PayPal can @scotrubyconf just sell t-shirts for $x00 on Amazon Z Shops? Then your t-shirt is your ticket.

I've been on that long journey. I used quod libet for a while, but never much liked it. Now, I use clementine http://www.clementine-player.org/ Best on Linux, imo.
