I run the KDE desktop on the KDE window manager. I run KDE and Gnome apps. They all work fine. The Gnome apps don't look exactly like the KDE desktop, but I haven't played with any of the themeing capabilities, but they might fix that minor issue. Where is the problem? If you're commenting that Gnome doesn't look like KDE, have the distros install both. You can then select the desktop you prefer from the GUI login screen. Once again, no problem, even if someone else like your mom is using your system and she's used to the other desktop. As small as some of the desktops/window managers are you wouldn't even notice if you threw fluxbox and a few more of the smaller ones on.
I will second your friends opinion. Java can be made to run well and efficiently, but it takes some sharp coders. I have never seen a Websphere implimentation that was efficient. Never. They use both Websphere and BEA weblogic/Tuxedo middleware products where I work. They may be easy to get a project up and running with, but they are the most resource intensive messes I have ever had to work with. I don't code with them, I'm a performance analyst and capacity planner. I just get to go back and tell the coders just how bad the code sucks, and where it sucks. They get the joy of fixing it.
Those were the cheapest independents I could find prices for on the web. As I stated on my previous post you MAY be able to get the engineer and producer to do it for just points on the sales, but don't hold your breath.
Ok, who pays the $50-$100/hr fee for the recording studio? Are you saying that they take their fee as points on the album? Hmmm, lets do a little googling. Nope. The studios want their money up front. What do you know, it's listed on the contract as a recoupable cost, so the label pays and takes it out of your royalties. Now, you may have been thinking of the engeneers and producers on the album, and they are known to take three or so points as payment. Oh yeah, the studio also pays for the recording media(tape) and then recoupe the costs. What does a hundred feet of 16 track go for nowadays?
The label pays the studio. The label then recoupes the costs from the artists through the sales. If the artists never sell any music, they may have to pay the label back anyway. It depends on how the contract is written. If the artists have massive sales they may never see a dime if their royalties can't cover the recoupe because it is debited from their royalty payments before disbursment.
Then they should sell their music, not the rights to it. Hmmm, let's see. The record company pays for the time in the recording studio. They get the rights to the music recorded because it's a work for hire. They then recoupe the cost of the recording studio time from the artists take of the sales, but continue to own the rights to the songs. Well, I geuss they should negotiate with a different major label since this one sucks. What do you mean all of them have almost identical contracts? Well, then the artists should be happy to suffer for their art. Don't you think?
Yes I realize that this is ridiculosly over simplified, but does cover the basics of most initial contracts for most bands.
I use that format myself for apps that create files at time intervals. It allows them to be sorted in time order by default. I almost wish the US would adopt it since it makes more sense to go from largest unit to smallest unit. We do it with time.
And all those wonderful hydrocarbons sitting in the ground are somehow magic? They are just a storage medium also. They had energy bound up in their structure millions of years ago. Depending on who's right either as plants converting sunlight, or as byproducts of chemical reactions deep in the earth that are powered by the heat in the core. Either way, the hydrocarbon fuels are just storing energy from a long time ago.
p.s. Personaly all of the abiotic theories for oil and natural gas creation seem a bit wonky to me.
Nope. I knew about it years earlier. Most companies didn't do squat about it until about 1997, with most of the actual remediation not happening until late 98 and through 99.
Well, just a clarification... You're right, most of the people the government deals with are not customers, they are CITIZENS. That means that the government can't tell them to take a hike. That said, if the state sends out documents in an electronic format, thay can include a reader application for free. A basic windows display app that simply opens up the document, formats it for display and, well, displays it can probibly be done in a few tens or hundres of KB. Tiny compared to a lot of documents that are sent around nowadays.
Because he is a shill. A shill is someone who writes what they are told for monetary gains while attempting to appear neutral. By definition that sort of precludes integrity.
How dare you type a truthful statement, thereby ruining the view held by so many people that corporations are required to be evil because it is mandated by law. I can just hear the sounds of millions of bubbles being burts. You, my dear Rude Turnip, are evil. Pure Evil.
Umm, excuse me, but that was a 5 MB 5.25" full height MFM harddrive from miniscribe that I told my wife we could never fill up. It actually took almost 3 months.:)
Yes, but if the hypothetical law was written that the coder was responsable, as recomended by the ex-cybersecurity czar, it wouldn't matter how many levels of incorporation you hid behind.
No, the internet was never designed with anonymity in mind, but it was designed to be a communications network that would not experience systemic problems when individual nodes and connections went down.
No. They apply to statements that are not true. Opinions are neither true nor false because they are not statements of fact. That's why they are called opinions. Slander, libel, and defamation apply to statements that are harmful to the persons reputation and factually wrong.
Now there is an informed opinion. I guess people with well maintained BMWs deserve to be involved in fewer rear end collisions than someone driving an old Cadilac whoopdie ride? Someone wearing a torn shirt and jeans deserves to be beaten and robbed because they aren't wearing haute couture?
Should a person patch their systems? Yes. If they don't patch them, should that make it morally correct for someone else to damage or modify their property? No.

No need for eminent domain. Just need "37CFR 401.14 Standard Patent Rights Clause" Just look under march-in rights.
You shouldn't have to hide behind the Anonymous Coward tag when speaking the truth.

No it won't, it's only designed to run 10,000 years.

no. Whenever we try, they pass a law granting themselves imunity. Funny how that works.
Yes, but if the hypothetical law was written that the coder was responsable, as recomended by the ex-cybersecurity czar, it wouldn't matter how many levels of incorporation you hid behind.
I don't know about that. The conductive ink ones that are traced directly onto the material may be pretty mallet resistant.
