Hello Everybody

Hi,

Since I'm new to the group, I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been a longtime J2EE developer who has written a few books on the topic for both Wrox and Apress. A few years ago, while looking for a way to automate some OR mappings, I decided to try Ruby and I instantly fell in love.

Well, after using it for the past few years as a utility language, I'm now working in a Bioinformatics lab where I can start using it for real applications. I look forward to sharing ideas with the rest of you. I've 'lurked' around here before, but I've decided to get more involved now.

I have begun writing a new book for Apress, "Pro Ruby". I hope to bring my expertise as an enterprise software architect, and experience as an author, to the Ruby community. My approach is to show how Ruby can be used as an enterprise development platform and how it can be used in place of J2EE for many, if not all, tasks.

If any of you have ideas you'd like to share, feel free to email me at apatzer@wi.rr.com, or through this list if you'd like to share it with everyone.

Thanks!

Andrew Patzer

Bioinformatics requires humongous acceptance tests. Have y'all considered
using a Wiki test-runner like this?

Question: How did you get into Bioinformatics? I'm interested in the
field and I'm wondering how much Ruby is being used in it.

I understand the question perfectly and the answer is no (imo anyway),
it's not the same. Replaying/copying an existing instrumental part is
not the same as sampling and stealing the original recording.

I don't think English is this guy's first language. About half of what
he posts is awkwardly phrased or incomprehensible.

I still don't get it and it's something like 2
hours later.

Reusing a piece of original music is different than covering that
piece.

reusing it where? The original question is not in English. Any parsing
would be helpful.

I'm not sure what purpose is in mind, but Rich is correct that it's
not the same.

When you buy the rights to reuse music you can either negotiate for
the performance rights, which are generally more expensive and give
permission to use the original recording, or you can negotiate for the
less expensive publishing rights, which give permission to re-record
the piece. However, the latter agreement often stipulates that the re-
recording can not be easily confused with the original; otherwise
everybody would just pay for the publishing rights and then do sound-
alikes. How different from the original is obviously somewhat
subjective, and there are musicologist/attorneys out there whose sole
job is to listen to the cover version and determine whether or not it
is distinguishable "enough" from the original to satisfy the agreement.
