Of course, the tone is one of "unrealistic expectation" and the response would be along the lines of "you can't do that without years of experience".
So that by itself is already helpful information. There's nothing unrealistic about people learning software development, it happens all the time. Yes, it means investing time, and yes, it pays off tenfold in unanticipated ways. Add a suggestion on reasonable learning resources and a non pipe dream estimate of how long of a time investment they'd be in for it, that's the best one could do. All that can happen in a completely friendly tone.
Despite all the whining on Slashdot, this will advance Bluetooth audio
And DRM'ed, "protected media path" audio will also see a huge advance now that we finally got rid of that pesky analog audio transmission.
driving lower cost for headphones and encouraging innovation to improve sound quality.
Ha ha hahahahahahahahahah. Dream on.
Apple got this right, and the increase in sales proves it.
From a business POV, sure. You, as in the Apple customer, are getting assraped, though, and you seem to even appreciate it. Give me a break.
Apple is still driving innovation while other companies prefer to keep the status quo.
The status quo was pretty much fine. Not everything that's being newly introduced (while breaking things left and right, of course), is "innovation" in the good-connotations sense of the word.
yup, and when the laser comes across a section that is at the edge of, or slightly beyond what error correction can correct, what happens? You go from everything to nothing (or worse, looking at what real-world cd players do), and that sucks ass because it prevents the vastly superior analoge error correction, typically daisy-chained to the receiver unit, from functioning.
The new/. overlords have pretty much given up (or never understood) the dept. thing anyway. It used to be funny/witty stuff, now it's just something more or less appropriate without any wit.

Minor correction, ^Z generates SIGTSTP which can very well be caught. This is how job control is implemented.
Running Linux binaries natively on Windows... that sounds awesome indeed
Sounds horrible to me. Why bother?

A lot of people spell it without vowels, unless ^ counts as a vowel for you.

This needs to be +6 Informative
The tone dramatically changes when the question is not "Can you do xyz for me?" but "Can you help me learn xyz?".
Do you know understand why you are the dumb one?
I'm not so sure.
Yep. And if you run out of paper towel -- plenty of already wadded up paper towels of JUST the right size to be found inside your deck! It's win-win!
Holy shit I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for bringing back memories!
It's the uplink, though.
until you got to see the full photo series where it is evident that the liquid is in fact orange juice.
For fucks sake, next time mark your post "SPOILER ALERT". Now you've ruined tubgirl for me and I highly doubt it'll ever work again for me.
I-i mean, this is what a friend of mine asked me to post here. He's real mad.
to route across devices that had no IP addresses, with devices on each side with IP addresses able to see each other.
That's switching then, not routing. Please turn in your Associate's degree.

Enjoy your fancy innovative products. I won't.
many of which aren't even ripe.
That's actually not a bug, it's a feature.
and can't even recall ever wanting to directly quote the summary
After you've been here for a few days, you will notice that quoting TFS in the fost prist is hardly a rare thing to happen.
Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for your account?
But this was about Ol Olsoc's shopping list, not that of the average /. reader.
While I agree in principle, it's not like it's difficult to prevent that crap from talking to the outside world.
Yeah that, and also the fact that there's a bunch of cranes and robots inside the dome, remotely operated so a to disassemble and clean up the site.

note to you, it's < or setting your posting mode to plaintext.
How was that out of context? Reading comprehension much?
So do CDs, and presumably digital TV.
What's your point?
