Flash and MySql
I am a student designer and I m interested in learning some basics bout saving and retrieving data from a MySql to a Flsh program, just to be able to make few collaborative web experiments (think www.tenbyten.org for instance). Searching on the internet I could only find or complicated explntions of how to mount web server with flsh support or little flash games with Mysql s secondary gadget for high scores.
Do any of you have good suggestion of a ready made fla source that does the simple job of saving and reding back information?
Thanks a lot--Alexandre Van de Sande 13:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What are the main arguments against the Veil of Ignorance thought experiment?
I've been skimming A Theory of Justice , and finding that I have several objections to the idea that the Veil of ignorance is a valid tool for making arguments about what is or isn't just. Since Wikipedia isn't designed to be host my personal rants, though, I'm wondering if there are any widely promoted arguments against using the Veil. If so, could some of them please get mentioned in the Veil article? --Ryguasu 12:50, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Beautiful feminine female rap
I have, but only rarely as far as I can remember, heard beautiful feminine female rap. I mean that the lyrics were rapped by a woman with a feminine-sounding voice, and she did not seem to affect a "hip-hop" voice or "hip-hop" rhythm. Where can I get more of these? (Personally, I find the accent typically used by black performers to be unattractive. Also, I do not want gangsta rap, etc.) Also, why I'm at it, I wonder why women don't rap more. Some of them have such beautiful voices, why spoil them by the changes in pitch we call singing? Yet it is typically the men who rap and the women who sing. --Juuitchan
American History
Are there any sources dealing with mentoring that were available for men such as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and others to read? Related to this, is there a source for researching those men's thoughts on posterity, other than "Fame and the Founding Fathers?"--66.82.9.65 20:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Could you try rewording that? I can't make head or tail of it. Are you asking about how they were educated, or how they functioned as mentors to others, or what? -- Jmabel | Talk 05:29, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
Nazi Use of an old switching station in the old stripland of Central Use
I heard a story along time ago, which has come forward again.
I want to know if the story is true in all or part.
Suposedly, many of the railroad cars used to transport "captives" were concered so soiled and rife with disease, that they could not be used again. I heard just today that livestock cars provided better ventilation than box cars, according to a survivor. Often this disease process started with the sickness of young children and older adults - often with simple cases of diarrhea.
The rolling stock (and its contents) were abandoned in an orderly fashion at this worthless switching station. After awhile, the Nazis used ore cars, especially when they wanted to get rid of people. The cargo was unloaded with cranes and replaced with coal. This was a terrible place, from Hell - and it was destroyed by the Nazis late in the war to hide what had happened. I think many of the missing (a lot of them Russian soldiers and Poles) ended up here. It may be in that part of Poland, which once belonged to Germany.
It was rediscovered after certain documents were translated in the mid 1950s - and a trip was made to the area. It was old stripland, so entrance was not a problem at all, despite its presence behind the Iron Curtain. The area was radioactive to some degree. Our relations were bad with the Communist countries - Germany was our ally - it was a matter of letting sleeping dogs lie.
I heard this story as a child - and repeated it as an early teen - I got into terrible trouble over it. I actually did not understand what I was saying. Only since the memories have come back, have I understood it more.
Is there a place like this, that is not commonly known. There were workers there, who often deserted their duties.
Identifying of Flowers
Can someone please identify the following flowers:
- My first impression was that 6 was a daisy, but the leaves are wrong. Might be camomile. Flower 10 might be tansy. 82.210.117.169 14:24, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- 2 and 8 both look like hibiscus to me. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 16:34, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- 5 looks like a fuchsia to me, but I could easily be wrong! Thryduulf 20:50, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- 1 is a dahlia. 2 is a double hibiscus. 3 is lantana. 4 is unknown. 5 looks like a legume but I can't be sure. It certainly isn't a fuchsia. 6 is indeed a daisy but this is a very generic term for a large group of flowers. I suspect the leaves behind it are more green than the grey they appear. 7 is a petunia. 8 is a double hibiscus. 9 is unknown. I agree with the above anon that 10 is tansy. 11 is arctotis also called African daisy. 12 is unknown.-gadfium 21:14, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I think 6 is a Shasta daisy. RickK 23:57, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Song lyrics of the 1920s -- where to find?
My old Zen teacher was talking about some humorous songs that he used to get with his crystal set, long long ago -- in the 1920s. He remembered some of the lyrics. One was something about "little pudding basin from my old Aunt Flo" and another the "good ship windowblinds", as bizarre as that sounds. He remembers these as being British recordings, even though he was listening to them in Honolulu. The reference to "pudding basin" sounds British.
Is there any online repository of lyrics to popular music circa 1920-1930? We'd like to get the music and lyrics, work up a ukulele accompaniment, and surprise him. Zora 09:32, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

iTunes and podcastings
I've read some many times (in newspapers) that the newere version of iTunes comes with podcasting compatibility. I've searched the web and couldn't find any other mention of how to do it (wich, in apple usability standards is quite weird). I supose the newspaper meant that iTunes actually plays mp3 from podcasting which is a rather dumb thing to say, as it's quite obvious. Can iTunes download podcasts? --Alexandre Van de Sande 20:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Identify this song
I heard a song on KBLX today (a radio station that plays adult contemporary songs by African-American artists) that contained the words "excites me" and "all night long". I think it was something about "loves me all night long" or "love you all night long", but the lyrics weren't very clear. It had a long, jazz-like intro before the lyrics started.
