> Alto sax is always in the key of A flat. That means the note called A flat played by an alto sax would be C on the piano. Likewise tenor is always in the key of E flat. Uh? Alto sax is in Eb and tenor is in Bb.

In this case the pitch is given by the piano, but do I remember correctly that if the orchestra doesn't include a piano the base pitch is given by the oboe, as it's the hardest instrument to tune?

You don't need to implement anything. There are self-hosted CMSs and blog platforms that have been doing this for a long time. I'm not saying it's as easy as Facebook, but it's not "you need to be a developer"-

Why would I? And I don't mean this in a dismissive way. I actually mean it: why do you think we're the right crowd for this? What's your reasoning?

I guess the CC license is just for the page, as the image are hosted someplace else and are not explicitly included in the license footer (which is the standard footer throughout the FSF/GNU website.) If the images themselves don'

Why do you think they're GPL-licenced? Did I miss the license on the page? Also, if you read about the FSF they don't advocate for all non-software to be free. Some documentation from the FSF is not included in Debian because the

Maybe it's just my limited knowledge on the subject, but it seems to me it's a bit too much to consider the BIOS an operating system. At that point, what isn't an operating system? You're still writing code against a mic

Out of curiosity, when was it the last time you checked on Free audio production tools? I know I didn't check for a while and was pleasantly surprised with the state of the current stack.

Why would you think that? Are you sure you're not thinking of something like the Commodore 64 that dropped you inside a BASIC interpreter after boot?

Honest question: why should I as a person be taxed on income (the closest I guess I can get to the concept of revenue) but a business should be taxed on profit? Can anyone explain to me the basis for such a distinction?

What I was getting at is that where I work the designer does both the mockup and the HTML/CSS transposition. But reading the other comments in the thread I gather this is not the norm.

Then the first should IMHO be called a front-end designer. Developer to me is someone who develops logic, not some interaction with JavaScript. Think for example of developing a static website. I wouldn't ask a developer to do that, I

I've always thought of qemu as the lightweight way to virtualizea system, but maybe it's just an impression. Or did you mean that using a VM is a heavy way to try a system out?
