  1. because on Why Are There So Many Knobs in Audio Software? (theoutline.com) · · Score: 2

    Audio engineers are not programmers? Well usually anyways.

    They like to mimic what they know, mixers, synths, filters compressors etc. The H/W variety works with knobs, so the S/W variety mimics that to help, you know, real audio engineers.

    National Socialism.

    They were fascists, who put commies AND socialists in camps and murdered then, all your re-labeling and fake history nonetheless.

    Im sortof tired of the old switcheroo meme of trying to make "left is teh hitler oh noes!".

    So your arguing, that reality is wrong, because intuition? Sure, why not. Seems to fit a theme nowadays.

    Usually, I moderate, today Ill reply.

    Your wrong. -Everything- Chief Bozo says is news. If Chief Bozo disses the largest tech company in the world, that Big News. For me at least, being a cloud architect, and I regard that profession as quite nerdsy.

  8. Totally illegal(?)

  9. No.
    It is however clear that the Plastic Doll didn't order Russia to hack herself. Not so clear about the Orange Wig. After all, the wig did state he would welcome criminal acts like that.

  10. as the Orange Clown didn't order it, it's all FINE right?

  11. Re:Not so fast on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On Sloot Compression? (youtube.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sheet music is not "the" music. Its merely a non complete representation, a suggestion if you will, how to perform the music.

    If it would be the case, then MIDI files are all we would ever need.

    Most of the music is how the director, and the musicians interpret it, and is not codified in the sheet.

    An analogy would be that sloot compression would reproduce a decompressed movie about "a" cat, but it would not look like the homevideo of "your" cat.

    Not an information theoreticus myself, but Im pretty certain that sloot compression went beyond what entropy would allow, aka more info was "supposed" to be there than entropy allows. I don't believe in violating the laws, of nature.

    an anti-trust investigator wokeup.

  14. "But presuming equality of capability because tits vs. danglies... that's just stupid. "

    presuming un-equality of capability because tits vs danglies is equally stupid.

    Why do people think, that men and woman must perform different in -every task-? There is no science to back that up. If anything, statistically it seems likely that men will take slightly more risks in general. Its probable that is due to higher testosterone.

    Damn does nasty criminales. Bad people. Steal a bread once, murder and rape the next day. Jaywalking? Off with their heads! Once a crooked bread eating thief, always guilty! Lest they -may- get some "free" knowledge whereas others had to pay. Yay capitalism!

  23. Re:Not a social safety net, please... on White House: US Needs a Stronger Social Safety Net To Help Workers Displaced by Robots (recode.net) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Purpose, probably useful, sure, I however do not understand why purpose seems to equal payed labour to you (and lots of other people). Are you suggesting voluntary work, or just being social to your neighbor has no purpose? I use these examples, because it is not certain that people even have the capability to always find "more meaningful" work if the "repetitive menial" labour has been automated. And why stop there? I suggest we are entirely capable of automating even "more meaningful" work. And then what?

    Figuring our what purpose people have, if they do not need to work for basic Income, is one of the goals of experimenting with it.

  24. fyi fwitw, Typing this from my hackintosh. For pc hardware that you can spec, its easy. Not so much for laptops.

    Im still pretty annoyed about the state of Mac's however. I will have to switch my next laptop from a powerbook to linux. Sigh.

    And whoever those people are, they have zero to do with this article. Im also pretty sure, that if I would to look up wtf you are talking about, Ill find a lot of misogyny, and perhaps a few loud mouthed females with (for you) radical ideas. Not "feminazi's".

    I for one, welcome our new load mouthed females. Perhaps they will counter weigh the foul mouthed males.
