I would like to write a ruby script that pulls information about store products and organizes it. While I'm sure I have the programming knowledge to do this, I am not at all sure where this kind of information is made available via the web. Does anyone know of a database/api that exposes this kind of information. I would hate to have to write crawlers to crawl individual store websites and ..... parse HTML ......

Take a look at the Amazon Product Advertising API. It gives you access to the entire Amazon product catalog so it probably is the most extensive database you'll find out there.

Can one make any earning by getting involved in Springsource projects(by contributing code, submitting pull requests, testing features etc.)
You can if you are a VMWare employee.
You probably can (indirectly) if you are a normal guy. Being an opensource contributor is something good employers are looking for and may help you get a better job / salary.

By this question I like to ask how legal is to track the installation of a free Joomla Module.
I already have create some Joomla Modules, and I like to track the amount of installations.
The only purpose of the trackink will be to track the web sites that using that module, nothing more, nothing less.
But I am wondering, is that legal ?
I wouldn't ask for legal advice from a programmers community. Best advice is to ask a laywer.
But if I were to guess, NOT allowed without the explicit user permission.
Not really the place to be asking this type of question.
Instead of tracking amount of installations, why not track the amount of downloads from your website? Would be much easier and ethical. Could be done with a simple bit of PHP or JS.

I want to add, add to quote functionality in my magento site ?
like :http://www.belgosweet.be/product.php?product=85&cat=20 this site.
Thanks
You do understand that there is no straight answer for that.
What you are asking for involves modifying several core files and functionality. Maybe you would be interested in an already free available solution something like this:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Cart2Quote/extension/5495/cart2quote_customer_quotation
There are other solutions with payment if you want too :)

my app needs to both burn discs and create burn folders. i'm able to use the DiscRecording framework, and am delving into its many options for the burn disc methods, and am starting to get that, but i don't see any reference to creating a 'burn folder'.
i've also looked in NSFileManager (thinking that it was a key that needs to be set), and also searched the docs and this site for 'burn folder', with no result.
it's probably that i am overlooking something really obvious about how to do this programmatically.
will anyone shed some light here?
thanks.
Just create a directory with an extension of .fpbf.

My current employer wants to use JavaDB for his new project. Allright with it, as my favoured SQLite isn't working very well with java and I, er..., don't really feel like arguing about it. Anyway I can't find a decent free tool to manipulate JavaDB or Derby databases. All I have is Netbeans. I've tried others but all the free ones are really tame tools and the pricy ones are good, but my employer doesn't want to pay a dyme (......).
Suggestions?
Perhaps http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/ ?
Been looking for one too. I'm currently eying on this one http://www.razorsql.com
