I tried your Persons example. It worked.
I did: INSERT INTO Persons (P_Id, LastName, FirstName, Address, City) VALUES (‘-1′, ‘ln’, ‘fn’, ‘a’, ‘c’);
It also worked.

MySQL ignores CHECKs…

OR, just dont play on the PS3 until March 2nd (have a day off). The RTC thinks today is 29th of Feb, but the rest of the system thinks its the 1st of march, so its all confused and stuff.

Hope Sony can update the FW on these RTCs… or it could happen again.

I don’t agree. While the Google’s Web Apps may not be “Open” they are Free.

And with technology today nothing is really private. At least this way I’m not paying money to have my life broadcast.

Also using Chrome OS and/or Google’s web apps does have a price: your privacy.

gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/command ‘dir_to/spotify.sh %s’ –type String

gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/enabled –type Boolean true

and then choose the spotify.sh app in any case the first time I used a spotify link.

If you wish, you can probably report this as a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org/

More information about reporting bugs in Wine is available here: http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs

It is not really a big deal, I just thought I would mention it.

Wine output from a terminal window:
—————————————————
$ wine “$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Spotify/spotify.exe” /uri “spotify:artist:2yzxX2DI9LFK8VFTyW2zZ8″

I have no idea what to make of it, but it seems you may be right.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with wine version 1.1.31 btw.

PS to the anyone having problems on Karmic; You may have to add a boolean “false” named “network.protocol-handler.expose.spotify” in about:config to get things going.

Glad it all works for you!

Regarding the focusing, does this behaviour differ from how it performs in Windows? If so, I would assume this is a bug in Wine. You can try different versions of Wine. Alternatively, run Spotify (via Wine) in a terminal, attempt what you are describing, and see if you notice any ’stub’ or ‘todo’ output appear. If so, this would suggest the code to handle this refocusing is not yet implemented and may be in the works.

Tell me how it goes!

Only one question; Do you know if there is a way to focus the Spotify window when one clicks a link in firefox? When I click on a link Spotify does what it is supposed to, but the window does not pop to the front unless it is already minimized to the tray. If it only minimized or behind another window it does not get focus.

Who came up with using the envelope as a stand-by icon? This is an icon that has been used by various email products for years to indicate that you have unread email.

At least in my opinion it is extremely distracting and one of the few things I dislike in the default Ubuntu installation.

Tons of other things need to be worked on before Social integration.

The single additional line changes the regular MIT open source license to a non-free license, due to the freedom 0 which DarwinSurvivor cites.

It is very interesting to see the comments this article is sparking. Thanks all.

Even the phrase “The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” is vague. Even today there are 2 opposing views on Guantanamo Bay. Some would argue gitmo is evil, while others claim it is needed to protect the US and so is a good thing. So can Douglass’ code be used for apps connected to gitmo?

Many years ago I was looking at using Douglas Crockford’s json.js script. I tried to explain to him the problems with his choice of licensing conditions. He wasn’t interested in engaging with the issue.

There are many things in the world which I disagree with and would consider to be evil. I would like to be able to protest them through my work, but that isn’t very practical via licensing terms. There is also a good chance me (or one of clients) could be caught up in someone else’s protest based licensing terms. Although it is almost 5 years old, the FSF’s take on the issue is relevant today, see the blog post from David “Novalis” Turner.

I think Google is right on this one. If you want to find something to take issue with Google Code over, then complain to them about not allowing AGPL for hosted projects.

I’ll take a look into this further.

I’ve been through all the steps again, double checking the path for Spotify, that I’ve replaced username with my log in name, and entered the correct names and values in Firefox about:config

I’m using Ubuntu Karmic, Firefox 3.5.5 and Spotify 0.3.22 via Wine 1.1.31, but all I get when I try to open a Spotify playlist link is “Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because the protocol (spotify) isn’t associated with any program.”

Hi Stu. You’re very right. For step three, you can open a new terminal, which should open to your home folder by default. Enter the command ‘chmod +x spotify.sh’ into the terminal to make the script executable.

If you wish, you can change the permissions of the script by right-clicking the ’spotify.sh’ file in Nautilus, going to Properties -> Permissions and checking the ‘Allow executing file as program’ checkbox.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions if you are still having issues.
