eethoven 4 and 8 are definitely under 40 minutes... IIRC, he was aiming for a classical style symphony in 8. Beethoven 5 is usually well under 40 minutes... mainly because of the breakneck tempo in the first movement.
Those late Sibelius symphonies are unearthly long. I think Sibelius was getting paid by the minute by his publishers. I can't imagine they're performed much these days... I have recordings of them, but I don't often seem them on concert programs - usually only 1 or 2.
I agree. Though these might not be entirely all professional, $13,000 doesn't go very far. If they were paid union scale, that would probably fetch you a few symphonies, with no rehearsal time. Of course, quite a few people on slashdot would assume that the musicians will work for pennies (the love of music and all that.)
However, as to the length of the symphonies, I'd be willing to be the majority of symphonies are under 30 minutes. I don't think any symphony reached 40+ minutes in length until the Eroica.
Don't forget donations... many orchestras don't break even on concerts - although pops concerts can be somewhat profitable... less rehearsal time (typically easier music.)
But donations and grants are important. Even the big name orchestras usually have hefty endowments.
anyone else feel that facebook is a reversion to the AOL days? Too bad they can't provide a browser within the browser - and that dial up isn't so popular anymore.
Solaris is still around, and probably will be for a few more years. For whatever reason, Oracle loves the idea of running oracle on sparc Solaris. I guess it's rather "enterprisey."
you were talking about Boston, but then I realized it was Middle east and not northeast.
I don't think anything can be done. Many people are horrible drivers. A certain percentage is very afraid of driving and clog up the road with their uncertainty. Another set believes that driving's just like a video game, and that signals, proper distance between cars, and basic courtesy are inconvenient and optional.
There is nothing that can be done, I'm afraid. Honestly, if they made drivers "qualify" for different types/sizes of vehicles, accidents would be reduced. But, everyone values their time over safety.
He certainly tried them out. As far as I know, he didn't actually write anything for the fortepiano. Even though he had a favorable account of the later fortepianos, I guess it was too late in his life to really start writing for them.
Are you thinking of C.P.E. Bach? While J.S. did get to play on pianofortes, I don't think there is any indication he was ever planning on ditching the harpsichord or the organ.
C.P.E., however - he definitely took to the pianoforte. Still, it took a while for the harpsichord to die out.
If I remember correctly, Beethoven's Pathetique sonata (1798) was published with the indication that it could be performed on performed either on the pianoforte or the harpsichord. I've certainly never heard it played on the harpsichord.
Yeah, Linux will eventually be included on that list for Slashdot, too. Mac fanbois have taken over; the Ubuntists are out. Pretty soon, a minor Linux kernel update won't make the front page.
Yes, I do realize this. You do realize that Windows 2000 is a server operating system with a workstation version, that Windows 2003 is a server operating system, as is Windows 2008?
So, to say Windows XP was the direct successor to 2000 isn't 100% accurate. More likely, XP and 2003 were two separate branches that started with 2000. Now, if you were coming from NT4, Windows 2000 seemed like a great improvement, for the most part. I was definitely pleased, that's for sure.
I'm not sure I'd classify 2k as the beta for xp. 2000 was definitely the successor to NT 4, and the last version with a distinct workstation variant. I remember being delighted with 2000 server in comparison to NT 4.
Windows ME fills the XP beta position, though. Nearly everyone hated it. It was released after 2000... kind of like how 98 was released after NT 4, which was released after 95.
The big difference I see, though, is that it was not NT based.
Anyway, people complained about XP for quite a while, too. Not as badly as Vista or ME, though.

OpenBSD 4.7 Released

no harder than trying to port something heavily linux centric to a *BSD, I would imagine.
Perhaps every Ubuntu release story should have a link to a site titled "The Unusability of Ubuntu." Seems fair, doesn't it? The article would necessarily have to be negative... title non-withstanding.
Slashdot has turned seriously hostile to non-Linux open source operating systems. I'm not sure why. I've even heard people here use the classic, "nobody uses it, so it must be bad" argument - the same one Windows users make about Linux.
If I'm not mistaken, the alcohol tax is relatively new in Mass. (2009.) I do remember Mass. posting state troopers at New Hampshire fireworks stores. They would write down plate numbers and contact troopers on the Mass. side of the border who would pull them over once they got into Mass. It was kind of obnoxious how NH fireworks stores would advertise in Mass. I vaguely remember a large fireworks sign off of I495 a few years ago.
I think raising the sales tax was definitely a boon to NH retail, though. I know Mass. has a use tax, but I've only known Mass. to enforce it against corporations who buy online and out of state and don't pay the use tax.
And back in the older shows, the sonic screwdriver wasn't so capable. I remember it being more of a tool, and less of the greatest deus ex machina ever invented.
I guess I've never liked the look of the "new" Tardis. It's interesting that the the old Tardis (i.e., image) was so sterile - It seems to me that the earlier doctors spent more time in the Tardis that the recent doctors.
It's particularly interesting that they decided to remake the Tardis starting with Christopher Eccleston, as the earlier doctors never seemed to fix or change anything on the Tardis.
as most people might assume. I went to a conservatory for composition, and I have to say that any half decent composer should be able to imitate a non-living composer... particularly one in the past.
I took quite a few classes on counterpoint, and was able to write fugues that sounded very much like Bach... and it didn't take too much skill. Other composers had a similar experience.
The reason why, I suspect, is that it's easier to analyze an existing body of work and imitate that, than it is to create entirely new, original music. The same goes for art, literature, etc.
I guess it's easier to drive down a road after someone else has paved it.
They didn't have a full install iso until somewhat recently, as they felt that it would hurt their CD sales. I suppose they will do a bit torrent sometime, but probably not for a release or two.

That should be Apple's new motto. Most people do not like to have to decide on an item out of a large selection.

My suggestion for a slogan for Apple is:

Their marketing department can use that for free.

It's true, but the OpenBSD FAQ only lists RAIDFRAME and not softraid. I suspect that will change in a release or two.
They didn't have a full install iso until somewhat recently, as they felt that it would hurt their CD sales. I suppose they will do a bit torrent sometime, but probably not for a release or two.
OpenBSD has had the RAIDframe driver for a long time. This releases is adding some sort of RAID 4 and 5 implementation.
RaidZ3 is nearly upon us...
Most slashdot folks will prefer btrfs just because it's GPL and native to Linux... whether or not it's better.
