  1. Re:NS 6, IE Bugs - billions and billions on Web Standards Project Blasts Netscape · · Score: 1

    Eh? CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" etc...
    what's the problem, exactly? Why is IE having a default of '0' for cellspacing more correct than NN's default? (2?)

    I'm not 100% sure about this, but whitehouse.com may well be the site for the UK porn mag 'Whitehouse' which is named to spite Mary Whitehouse, a famous pro-censorship campaigner.

  3. Re:Then don't sign long term contracts. on Sony claims of Artist's Name URL For Life · · Score: 1
    The standard contract with a major label (or a large independent if there is such a thing) is for 5-7 albums. If the band get dropped from the lable then they are usually free from this restriction, but it prevents the situation of first album being a big success and then the band leaving for who ever offers more.

    With very small labels it is often a case of persuading the artist to let the label release the album, and the contract signed will usually just be for that album.

    The point someonw made earlier about how the large record companies do spend huge amounts when they sign new bands and how they spent $200,000 on a band that wasn't a big success just shows how poor they can be at choosing bands to sign and then marketing them.
