Oh try out Spotify for music.. I hear it's better than pandora by a whole lot. It just came to the u.s. after being in Europe for a year or so.

My company has two products. One sends a stream of data to a TCPIP port, the other listens on that port and processes the data. Somebody decided that security was an issue and brought up SSL encryption to secure the data.
I know nothing about SSL and little about the parts of the products that are sending/listening for the data. Every search I do on SSL talks about having a certificate associated to a website...what do I when there is no website in between the two parts of the process.

Mason,
Web server isn't needed, see SFTP, SSH, etc. I use a library called synapse for something similar,
Look at their docs and join their mailing list and you will find a lot of non-webserver info. Don't be nervous about the .cz, they've been around for a long time and their library is tops, IMO.Suspicion breeds trust.

Got a heating customer of mine just back from an extended holiday in America. He now hates UK toilets and wants an American style turbo suck flush toilet. Any of you guys know the technical term for these toilets? I've typed in all types of shit (no pun intended) into a google search......, one of the searches was "sucking toilet" but it came back with gay suck action in toilet and lesbians get into sucking action in toilet etc etc. Appreciate all smart arse replies and serious ones, if any!"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

The guy is looking for the water action that actually happens in the toilet bowl......., here in the UK, we have rim jets that swirls the water around and the larger neck in the bowl acts as a siphon and it pulls the products of waste down....., it's a very lazy affair and sometimes shits with life-jackets on don't go away. He wants that bowl action where by the water is sucked down into the smaller necked bowl, the water actually disappears during the flush. I've been to quite a few merchants in Edinburgh to ask, only to be met with blank vacant, typical plumbing merchant type stares. I just need to know what that action is called......., is it turbo action? Suck action? Vacuum action?........, I could source this bog a lot easier if I knew what I was asking for.
Mason, I saw that very flush valve on a YouTube video......, there was not anything that bog would not flush......, interesting video!"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Marlo, we had a low flow toilet that had a "jet assist"(for lack of a better term). I have no idea what they are called but mine at least worked by shooting a jet of water down the pipe. At least thats what it sounded like to me.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

Do y'all use low flow toilets over your way?
Btw you might get a kick out of this. As you know mrs slf and I are headed to Scotland in September. She says to me the other day "Scotland isn't an island?" me "well it's on an island with england and wales.". She "I thought we were going to go under the channel" me "no sweetie that is France.". She "is Ireland an island?" me " yeah but it's got northern Ireland at the top". She "shut the fuck up. Ireland and northern Ireland are different?". Me "yeah northern Ireland is part of the UK". Her "Ireland is it's own country?"
