  1. Try it and let us know?

  2. Flag and EAC are essential for analysis. Sonic Visualizer has pretty much a pitch perfect log FFT (silvet iirc) with phase adjustment, and it can give different results with mp3 vs flac/wav.

    If you're not doing wav you're doing flac, or you're doing it wrong.

    It's not much difference. Just enough to me.

    What the fuck? Who is paying for systemd? Initial release was "30 March 2010", Pottymouth started at RedShat in 2011. Was that the plan? To make a pile of shit and get hired by an ignorant open source company to keep at it?

    RedShat is one of the very very few purely open source companies. They do not have proprietary products as their main focus, with contribution to open source as a side effect, like Adobe or Microsoft. Other than SystemD, they know what they are doing, not idiotic. Your idiotic cynicism on the other hand is not contributing anything of value.

    Well you got a consumer grade hardware and no business level warranty. Nothing I can do.

    Go this route and buy 2, plus NAS storage to back up the whole thing so you can swap out to the backup when it breaks. That's expensive.

    I'm skeptical that a tool can be as good as ida. I use the free noncommercial version, so it's not even the latest and greatest.

    Ida and SoftIce/WinIce are hard to beat. I hope to contribute some fixes because ida has become less keyboard friendly. That shit needs to stop.

    IT'S IN THE PHONE BOOK

    Why wouldn't someone have his number if it was in the phone book? The number that is in the phone book?

    And how do you surmise it's what OP would have done? He didn't know about the phone book. Or didn't remember at the time, which is not knowing.

    Oh, you don't count here. Your smartphone never existed. You don't have a relevant opinion. You think you do, but no, you did not answer the question. You don't understand the question.

    You actually don't understand people, but let's just start with words on a screen. You should understand them.

    From the actual article, and you're really too old to qualify to answer. I'm sure my 90 year old grandparents are fine, and can live, without a cell phone. They still have AOL. They sleep with their phone because it's by their bed.

    Anyway, here's the non read bit you dork:

    John Moir is another refusenik, although he is quick to say, with a laugh, that he is not sanctimonious about it. He does have e-mail and Skype, after all, and a basic flip phone. However, the 71-year-old Vancouverite has the phone only because his cycling group requires it, and he has âoeonly ever used it to make sure it works.â Like Mr. North, he likes the freedom of being disconnected, especially when he is travelling. It means he is really experiencing a new location, âoerather than trying to be in two places at once.â

    You read the headline and nothing else, and responded to the literal meaning, without considering any context.

    Could the 75% of Canadians who have experienced smartphones live without them?

    I assume you will have a hard time parsing that, so do pause for a moment.

    How do you define "live"? If you mean "Know that a technology is not available and be denied using it" then almost everyone on DashSlot would say no. If you mean "Voluntarily give up" for any reason, then obviously yes, for very small values of "yes".

    If you intentionally misunderstood the entire topic to prove how much smarter you are than everyone else is, then you are what's wrong with humanity. Read that again if you are unsure.
