Free CD-Quality Music
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/02/2229234
[0]Scaife writes "I make a video project for school each year, and this
year we want to produce it on DVD and sell it. The only catch is that
we don't have the time or money to get copyright permissions for the
100+ songs we use for it. I'm wondering if there is a large repository
of CD-quality royalty-free music somewhere. Whenever I try and take one
of the royalty-free MP3s available on the web and use it on a DVD, the
quality is awful as it pops and hisses. I suppose this is because of
the lossy compression. Any ideas?"

Computer Error Grounds Japanese Flights

glitch" in Tokyo air traffic control systems resulted in the
cancellation of 203 flights this weekend. At 7am Saturday, the error
"caused the names of airlines and flight numbers to disappear from

related to upgrades on a system which exchanges flight plans with the
