    Awesome!

    A show I had never heard of for a full 10 seasons is making a triumphant return for an 11th!

      If you phrase this as a shell command:

      > apt-get remove me & I shall become stronger than you can possibly imagine...

      It's important to note that you could become stronger than the caller can possibly imagine before you are removed - thereby giving you the ability to prevent your own removal. It's very important to handle race conditions like this correctly...

  3. Lack of professionalism by cerberusss · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When I got into the whole podcast thing, I downloaded basically everything that had to do with either mobile tech, Apple and Linux. To my surprise, most Linux-related podcasts are really, really bad. The quality was often lacking in almost every area, be it pacing, sound quality, speakers, intro/outro, interviews you name it. This all in sharp contrast with podcasts that are related to mobile news and Apple or iPhone.

    So I'm very interested in this (for me new) podcast, but it better have at least some semblance of quality.

      This surprises you how exactly? Linux users are almost never involved in media production, most coming from orthodox IT-related areas. I do a lot of creative production work, and I have to laugh every time I talk to somebody who is both a Linux user (as I am), really into tech, and somehow passionate about getting something produced. They really have no clue what is up or down, and most of their anecdotes come from being really pissed off by Flash-driven websites, even when they ARE dealing with time-bound, linear media where something like an "animated intro" is considered a staple of production. I still chuckle about it.

  4. Stupid podcast by RPoet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    These clowns put on a hysterical "morning zoo"-style charade with forced "energy" and falseness throughout. They are also very anti free software, to the point that free software makes them hysterically angry. They constantly try to manufacture conflict where there is none, and go on crusades against pointless minutia. No thanks, it's a waste of time.

    Give me LugRadio back any day.
