There are two main groups that fall into this category: artists and engineers.
Artists (or graphic designers) will know HTML, CSS, maybe a little JS. But it will be to complement their 'real' skill set, which is photoshop, illustrator, maybe Flash, and the like. They will focus on making the page attractive to users, and if they are worth their salt, easy to navigate as well.
Engineers (or web application developers) will know HTML, JS, hopefully CSS (!), along with PHP, SQL, maybe Java or Ruby. Their natural environment is the backend, but they will know enough about page creation to get by, like for making proof of concept demos. Quite often their idea of an elegant and easy to use web interface is a bunch of text links and a button.
Of course, in real life, you find yourself doing a combination of these things.
Oh, and to answer the original question : what do you call someone that does HTML, CSS, JS and nothing else ? A: an intern.
True enough, but you also need to look at how it's deployed. If you have an internal-only web app, then maintenance is simply keeping your servers running. In the long run it can be cheaper because it becomes possible to replace fat clients with thin ones, or simply not having to upgrade existing hardware. But the main advantage isn't really cost, it's really about easier management (backups, archiving, updates, etc...)
Instead of focusing on quantity, why not focus on quality ? If hard drives and broadband connections can handle it, why not offer songs in.wav or flac format ? That will fill a hard drive pretty quick, even by modern standards. It would also give a much needed competitive edge to legitimate sources of music.
Of course this is assuming the pieces of shit running the major record companies have any amount of sense or intelligence.
NOBODY is going to spend $6,000 on their music collection. Well I suppose SOME people might, but certainly nobody that I know would ever even think about paying that much for something they can get for free (and at the same, or near-same quality).
Actually, you can easily find entire albums on bittorrent at lossless quality (.flac) and of course DRM and watermark free... only thing is if you're looking for something a bit obscure you'll have a tough time finding it.
As I see it, the convenience factor is really all there is.
I use version 10 64bit that is packaged by Ubuntu... It's been a while since I get any messages, but when v10 was new, there were a lot of sites that complained about it. Now they seem fixed.
No, I haven't seen that, but sometimes I get a similar message when using flash 10. In any case I would say that it's the web developer's fault, since it's quite obvious Flash does work on other platforms.
I don't see the implementation in the patent docs, only a description of a concept. And by implementation, I mean the only valid kind for software - source code.
They are using v 2.6 which has been designated as the official migration step towards 3.0. So it should be easiy to port over to 3.0, anyway right now very few projects are using 3.0.
Pidgin will be replaced by Empathy in future releases. It's still needs some work, but looks promising - it's very modular and integrates nicely with the rest of GNOME. It has video chat support.
Say goodbye to Netbeans. IBM doesn't want competition to Eclipse.
Honestly I think netbeans is just about perfect as-is. Besides, even if they kill corporate funding, I think the community would step in (unlike most open source apps, its users CAN modify it).
Watch OpenSolaris get pillaged for bits like ZFS and DTrace to GPL and put in Linux and then left in the ditch (though I don't think they'll kill closed-source Solaris).
I never saw a bright future for open solaris anyway, linux is too far ahead for it to catch up. Not that it isn't a great product, but it was open sourced way too late in the game. Might as well give linux its best parts...
Java will take twice as long to evolve, as IBM's bureaucracy will dwarf that of the JCP's.... OpenOffice, right now not the cleanest, most user friendly app, will worsen if Lotus Symphony is anything to go by.
You're on to something here... something very frightening.
IBM pays good lip service to open source, and contributes o some strategic projects (ex Apache Harmony), but their true commitment to open source is much less than that of Sun's. That's what the Linux crowd sometimes fails to understand.
I agree, but if Sun is going to disappear anyway IBM would at least keep some of their spirit alive.
So right you are ! If there's one thing we've all learned from the financial crisis is that industry is fully capable of regulating itself without any government oversight.
I know it's a joke, but wouldn't it be easier to simply wait for the winter to kill the lizards off ? They're the ones that can't internally regulate their body temperature, after all.
Sometimes. It's not at all uncommon for dead whales (not sure about squid) to float on the surface for some time as a result of decomposition gases inside their bodies. In these cases they can be eaten by sharks/orcas or drift onto beaches.
No, not really. 'Sequester' means to pass along to a trusted entity for safekeeping. In this case, the trusted entity was the bottom of the deep ocean.
Since the copepods do not keep the carbon, but rather pass it along to the next step of the lifecycle, by definition the carbon is not being sequestered.
If you try to do a street protest in a country that has a dictator for life, you run the very real risk of being beaten, tortured, and killed.
It's been known for a long time that quite often the only way to get the government to actually listen to its citizens is to stage some form of peaceful mass protest. That's why that right is protected in the US Bill of Rights.

Missiles aren't even necessarily weapons.
A missile is always a weapon, by definition

I don't know but it irritates the hell outta me ... this is supposed to be a tech forum : Wall St. douche bags fuck off !

Actually Adobe released their 64bit version of flash 10 for linux before any other.
So far Flash doesn't run on non-intel architectures, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an ARM version at some point in the near future
I don't see the implementation in the patent docs, only a description of a concept. And by implementation, I mean the only valid kind for software - source code.
So the patent is moot.
Do you know if this version of catalyst finally supports the new X.org driver ? I can't upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 because of this issue ...
- No Python 3.0 support
They are using v 2.6 which has been designated as the official migration step towards 3.0. So it should be easiy to port over to 3.0, anyway right now very few projects are using 3.0.
That human skin leather in older mercedes is mighty comfortable though. Plus they didn't discriminate - many color choices were available.
Pidgin will be replaced by Empathy in future releases. It's still needs some work, but looks promising - it's very modular and integrates nicely with the rest of GNOME. It has video chat support.
In the episode, the lizards are a non-native tropical species, and thus would not have either the physiology or instinct to hibernate.
it's only middle-aged, you insensitive clod !
Oh no, I am well aware that I over-analyze things to the point of being a buzz-kill ...

They are, in fact, LSDs -- Light-Sucking Diodes.
