Audio Restoration and Transfer Services of Vinyl Records (LPs, 78s. 45s) and Cassette Tape to CD that Will Bring Music to your Ears

Until recently, if you needed to transfer your vintage LPs, 78s, 45s or cassette tapes to a digital CD, you had very little choice. You could ask a relative or acquaintance with a Computer/CD Burner to perform this task (assuming they had the proper Turntable, Cassette Deck or any other necessary equipment), but needless to say, you would be compromising quality as well as your valuable collection itself. Your other choice would be to go to a professional recording facility, only to be served with a plate full of technical jargon, a dash of attitude and a pinch of "stop wasting my valuable time unless you're willing to pay the same rate as Aerosmith."...

Bizyweb Released for Yahoo! Webhosting and Other Shared Webhosting Environments

In conjunction with Semantic Designs , Inc. (www.semanticdesigns.com), Bizy, Inc. (www.bizyinc.com) has released its seminal Place Management® application Bizyweb for use in shared web hosting environments.

Specialists in software re-engineering for complex systems, Semantic Designs (SD) of Austin, Texas has produced a low-footprint, distributable version of Bizyweb whose source code is protected using SD's Thicket™ Family of Source Code Obfuscators.

Most source code protection technologies for dynamic languages such as PHP or JavaScript are based on encrypting the source code with some ad hoc encryption algorithm and key. A protected, web-hosted program then requires the web host to hold the encryption key and execute the corresponding decryption algorithm. This has several disadvantages, including making the decryption key and algorithm insecurely available at the web host, outside the scope of protection of the application's owners, and forcing the web host to provide a decryption mechanism specific to the application. Both owners and web hosts are reluctant to support key-driven encryption.... (Continue reading)
