I'm always amazed at the slow progress of audio software in the open source space. You would think the projects would be swarming with physics majors and the like, with awesome signal processing skills. But no, it seems to be programmers without any such math skills actually coding the sound editing software. Sigh. Well notice, I did not say anything about a *free* audio workbench. That's another important issue, but it's not a precondition to generating free content.
You also can't edit out a sound from under another sound, without major audible artifacts.
Rubbish, it's no harder than photoshopping an unwanted object out of an image. Just like photoshopping, you pick up the sound you want from somewhere else in the recording, take it to the right frequency, stretch, repeat, overlay, whatever to the right length and mix it in. I used to do that by slicing and dicing magnetic audio tape which is a lot more of an art because you don't have nearly the signal processing options. These days it is a piece of cake particularly for a single sound event like a cough.

I am thinking of a couple of billionaire so-called philanthropists, and wonder if they can honestly say "it was me!" about anything half so fundamentally important.
Ecuador is set to announce its decision on asylum in about 12 hours...
Ecuador has already announced their decision, they will grant asylum. If they were wavering, this idiotic ham handed diplomatic blunder surely tipped the balance.
The fact that he's publishing unflattering information about the internal workings of Western governments is *not* their stated reason for wanting him.
You're not suggesting that honesty should come into it, are you?
Words are cheap. Should these words translate into verifiable fact then I will care. Otherwise, considering the history of this particular bad actor I must regard this announcement as just so much wide eyed spin aimed at slowing the exodus of potential customers to free, open and trustworthy alternatives.
Microsoft was earned a complete lack of trust and respect from the general community and your simpering will not change that. There is no reason whatsoever to suspect Microsoft of honorable intentions in designing its embrace/extent/extinguish series of faux-open licenses. Fortunately for the rest of us, the world in general has little interest in them. The fact that Pixar does only reflects badly on what could otherwise be a worthwhile project. Don't take my word for it, follow the project and see what happens. I predict: zero outside contributions.
I'm not sure how floating point performance is on ARM these days either, but it sucked previously simply because that's not what the ARM chips were designed to do.
I actually like the look of the Surface far more than that of the Nexus 7 and, if it actually comes in at 200$, with the keyboard-cover, that's quite the deal!
Well, until you consider that you get to choose one of two models: A) the one running ARM that can't run standard Windows apps b) the one running Intel with 3 hour battery life.

Facebook is SHIT on phones and iPads. I hear quite a few people use those these days.
True, I tried it on a tablet today, it looks uglier than sin. I wonder why, I mean it's pretty ugly at best but sheesh. Messages work, but the question is, what is the advantage over gmail?
How about this: they're getting a little older and coming to realize that having friends follow them translates into exactly zero career benefit, or any other benefit for that matter.
what I would personally love is a tablet with more than a 10" screen.
I have both the Nexus 7 and a 10 inch Xoom and at the moment the Xoom gets most of the use, usually with the bluetooth keyboard. Maybe it's just familiarity. I'd snap up a 12 or 13 inch tablet right away. Basically the same use case as the Xoom - laptop replacement with longer battery life and crappier apps for now - but easier on the eyes.

What Tough Love suggested is that there is way too much whining and not enough doing in this thread.

in this day and age, an orchestra such as this should have earphones with click-tracks or something similar - conductors can get carried away
You are quite the comedian, aren't you? But decent commentary on the sound editing. It's hardly rocket science.
Seriously.. 1st movement, after playing begins.. a cough...
Please quite whining, go get a sound editor and edit it out. It's easy and that's exactly what a big label would do.

I greatly prefer apt over yum, but that might just be what I'm used to.
Everything just feels wrong when I'm stuck with arch.
Apt has better fit and finish. For example, the default for "do you want to install what you just asked for" is yes in Apt, no in Yum.
I've tried two Debian-based distributions, but never install Debian. Does it offer any real advantage over Arch?
Armies of highly commited package maintainers?
...it appears Assange's side is amping up the hype
Eh, Ecuador had pretty strong words to say about it.

Looks like tinpot dictator envy to me.
I think it's entirely ok if Apple keeps raping the bank accounts of its idiot fans so long as it isn't anyone I know.
I think it's great that Android now outsells Apple 3 to 1, don't you?
Troll Apple exposed. Reality just a little different from reality distortion, isn't it?
MS got an ISO standard by buying it about 2 years after ODF was the approved.
Destroying ISO as a credible organization in the process.

Learn to write doggerel in a day. Have fun. Don't expect to earn a living as a poet.
Needless to say, these are outselling Lumia/Windows phones by a fat country mile.

The A15 has a floating point unit.
