Philadelphia soon to be the biggest WiFi hotspot in the world
The City of Brotherly Love is currently considering a $10 million proposal that would blanket the 135 square mile metropolis in thousands of WiFi transmitters. While it would be congruous to the fundamental principles of the Internet to offer this service for free, which they are considering, we still feel obligated to ask the hard questions: wouldn’t this money be better suited, as usual, being dumped into schools and social programs? And, ever heard of WiMax? And, when can we move in?

MP3Gain
'Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song? MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear. Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding.'

Streamripper
