  1. Re:"Digital recordings will be unplayable" on Why Steve Albini Still Prefers Analog Tape · · Score: 1

    Considering that the project file incorporates not just settings from the program itself, but also settings from the myriad of external applications, it doesn't really seem possible or practical to have an open or well-documented format for it. Most likely, updates can and will break it, meaning re-doing mastering, but hey, that's what people usually do when they get master recordings on their hands.

  2. Re:"Digital recordings will be unplayable" on Why Steve Albini Still Prefers Analog Tape · · Score: 1

    Here's an interesting thing: Cakewalk Sonar records completely in PCM, having a file to write how it all connects and what edits were made to the files. Hardly the fastest format, but it allows for the files in question to be imported (via a sound engineer working for really long) to pretty much anything.

  3. Re:Really?!? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Then you can pretty much rule out white supremacists since they advocate for various heinous deeds done to a sizeable chunk of population.

  4. It's prefectly fine and self-regulative... on Prosecutors Push For Anti-Phone-Theft Kill Switches · · Score: 1

    As long as Apple names the killswitch mechanism "Laputan Machine."

  5. Re:I am Andrew Ryan... on Wired Writer Imagines Google Island · · Score: 1

    Mod the parent up, for the reference to Bioshock has never been as appropriate.

  6. Re:first on Federal Judge Dismisses Movie Piracy Complaint · · Score: 0

    I'd say you haven't made your offer any more appealing than an offer to fuck a dumpster, which are a lot more common in my neighbourhood than you are.

  7. Re:Call me a neigh sayer on The Bronies Get Their Own Charity · · Score: 1

    There are plenty well-adjusted gay men, and the fact they enjoy sexual intercourse with each other doesn't mean they let it become a life-constituting obsession.

  8. Re:Call me a neigh sayer on The Bronies Get Their Own Charity · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one thinking this also applies well to the LGBT community?

  9. Re:alternatives = it's broken on Btcd - a Bitcoind Alternative Written In Go! · · Score: 1

    It's an alternative to the client, written in the same protocol, and thus compatible. Hurr durr durr.

  10. Re:Speaking of command lines... on Book Review: A Practical Guide To Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming · · Score: 1

    Sounds like your CAL somehow redirects in some cases to ncal - probably a bug in the filesystem.

  11. Re:Poor documentation on an Open Source project??? on Review: Make: Raspberry Pi Starter Kit · · Score: 1

    Th---what? The review specified that the open source documentation on the site was more valuable than the book included.

  12. Re:Copyrighted movie about GNU is pirated on TPB. on The Pirate Bay's Oldest Torrent Is Revolution OS · · Score: 1

    Mostly because erasing the license is trivial, the software is easily-accessible without torrents, and anyone who wants to modify software and not give back usually hosts on more profitable venues than TPB.

  13. Re:Summary of the documentary on The Pirate Bay's Oldest Torrent Is Revolution OS · · Score: 1

    Oh damn me. I like the POSIX standards, but saying "Linux is a semi-decent clone of Unix" (Or Minix, for that matter - see the microkernel debate) is lame. The rest is, essentially, democracy/meritocracy in a nutshell. We still have a very good system of interoperable components out of this.

  14. Re:Human Rights on European Human Rights Court Rejects Pirate Bay Founders' Appeal · · Score: 2

    So what copyright have TPB founders infringed on?

  15. Re:What of violence against men? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 1

    That's an approximate stance that I have on child religion in general.

  16. Re:The Big Picture on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 1

    Thing is, how women are used in porn is usually bad taste (Treat me like an object! Yeah! Yeah, baby!), but it's a shitty thing to put a blanket ban on it.

  17. Re:So, what about gay porn ? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 1

    And it usually smells of derogatory attitudes towards BOTH genders.

  18. Re:What word is translated "Pornography"? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 2

    I kind of don't want lists of those who opted in to be leaked. At all. If you want to go this road, I'd better suggest opt-in parental controls.

  19. Re:Wow, only 13 years after screwing up Linux... on Gnome Founder Miguel de Icaza Moves To Mac · · Score: 1

    Miguel didn't work on Gnome since 2000-something.
    Also, it's getting slightly annoying to hear fanboys crying foul about Gnome. KDE, XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon, EVERYTHING ELSE works - why would you complain about the only thing that doesn't?

  20. Re:de Icaza on Gnome Founder Miguel de Icaza Moves To Mac · · Score: 1

    There is a gayporn lens for Unity, in case you're interested.

  21. Re:Terrible clever idea or just terrible? on Canonical Announces Mir: A New Display Server Not On X11 Or Wayland · · Score: 1

    DirectFB was fine enough to work. Works still, if low-hardware XBMC distros (RaspBMC and others) are anything to go by.

  22. Re:Canonical has become... on Canonical Announces Mir: A New Display Server Not On X11 Or Wayland · · Score: 1

    They will still be in an uphill battle in the desktop space, where the Android drivers are irrelevant, but there's a whole lot of work already put into all sorts of projects that support the existing technology in PC.
    I feel that writing a translation layer for Android drivers for Wayland may have been less work.

  23. Re:Canonical swirling down to irrelevance. on Canonical Announces Mir: A New Display Server Not On X11 Or Wayland · · Score: 1

    Like they did with systemd? Oh right. They don't have leading power for more than their derivatives.

  24. Re:Canonical swirling down to irrelevance. on Canonical Announces Mir: A New Display Server Not On X11 Or Wayland · · Score: 1

    LSB suggests RPM, rpm+alien in some cases. The ones who use neither usually make packages themselves.

  25. Well, a $200 console that has graphics just as good won't be on the market until 4 years later, games now are more backward-compatible than ever, you don't have to purchase Xbox Live, the gamepad is still beaten by the mouse+keyboard, and that's pretty much it.
