no offense to anyone just my oppinion.. but I don't really like these 
words together: "expansion of human intelligence, longevity, and 
morality.. life extension"

The 30th alpha build of the 3rd edition of REBOL was released to 
a larger team of developers and testers on 12-Jan-2009

are we a team?

Team REBOL ?

Be there in a sec :-)

Ah... the old days of Team Amiga

:-)

What is the collective noun for cats?

They don´t do collectives :-)

Clowder;   and Kaj, point a laser beam onto the pavement of an inner 
city parking lot near a dumpster   the clowder will form in short 
order.  :)

Less fun, more apro might be cluster or clutter ... I'd rather be 
in a clowder.

Hmm, what's the Reboller equivalent of a laser beam?

I had this urge to be a smart ass and write "Lemmings..."

Kaj, yes they do...they are called a Pride, and they work together 
to take down prey.

I would say you a group fo REBOLLers is a "Force"

say to you

The rebol equivalent of a laser beam?  REBOL?  or Carl?

a devcon with carl in it?

Mozilla Labs Ubiquity project - web mashups, dialected/keyword searches, 
information integration. Interesting (watch the video) - http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/

We need some higher level R3 VID3.4 layer, something like Amiga Arexx 
port commands concept, which you export for others to utilise your 
existing app :-)

Reichart - could you please post to this group any additional info 
you get about AdaptiveAI? - I'm pretty hyped over the technology. 
Thanks

Will do...

In the Wiki, Carl added a link to the rebdev mobile client: http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rebdev-web.r

Youtube wants their users to use some different service: http://mashable.com/2009/01/14/youtube-mutes-videos/

Good for Youtube.  There has been blatant disregard for musicians 
on Youtube.

Case in point, kind of: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/10/stifled-by-copy.html

People should just follow the Grateful Dead.  Open Music (post Record 
Company Era) has been flourishing amongst the hippies for 40 years 
now.   ;)

There already is open music.  And glad to see that Youtube is addressing 
McCain's criticism's FINALLY.

Again the music industry finds another way to keep lawyers employed. 
:-) It just means bands and labels who give permission are the tracks 
we will here & buy. So the restrictive ones miss out on being widely 
promoted. Similar thing happened here when music industry tried to 
get paid to play their promo-videos on tv

Their is so much other music from great artist that people can download 
for free.  I don't know why people are fussing about certain artists 
getting their money.  They contracted with record companies who are 
going to get most of the money but they will definately also reap 
more money as a result of this.  Let them have their due.  Breaking 
the law is breaking the law.

If the artist got their money I'd be happy, the issue for me is most 
of it is going up the noses of the lawyers and pr people. At least 
itunes & emusic make it easy for independant bands to get distribution 
and money now.

P: finally?  Seems like a repudiation?

Sounds like they are getting with the program to me.

I once saw an interview with Allannah Myles.  When her album Allanna 
Myles hit number 1 and Black Velvet was on every radio, she was worried 
she couldn't pay rent.  She still owed 1.5 million on her "contract" 
and the label had already pocketed 5 million.   We should always 
let sharks eat young keen artists.  It's a fantastic system.  Like 
the lottery.  Sure, someone gets a million dollars every week.  A

hmm, altme is tweaking my ^S setting ... sorry.


And society spends far more for the privilege.  We should continue 
to support these systems whole heartedly.  It's always great to give 
legal backing to the few that take advantage of the naive.  Beautiful 
system, that should never be questioned, only revered and backed 
up with gun power and threats of jail.

Artists will almost always choose to receive the free promotion. 
 It's the publishers and labels who don

't want to see it..

Sounds like Myles didn't have a lawyer and just blindly signed a 
contract.

And that's not just the little guys who are trying to make it.  I 
have several close friends who've sold tens of millions of albums 
who feel the same way without reservation.

I don't get it?  What is the problem?  Artist can give away their 
music if they want to.  Why should they care of others don't want 
to?

Having more people hear the music for free typically leads to more 
album sales.

One of the best selling albums of the past few years was one that 
was given away freely.

NickA, you need to tell the Record Labels this then for obviously 
they didn't know this and didn't do any research.  You sound like 
you got it all figured out.

I'm in the industry, and have been for 22 years.  The reason the 
record companies don

't want to see the industry going the way it's going is because it 
cuts out the need for their services all together.

I wonder why Metallica doesn't get it then?

Why do these musicians get awards at shows and thank their label?

Why do they use a label?

Anyone can produce a great sounding album on their home computer 
now.  And if they can get famous without the record company support, 
they don
