  1. Re:Finally on Audacity 1.2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, is there any particular reason why you would not just use the hardware Dolby filters in your playback tape machine before the A/D?

    Ahh, but the beauty of the scam is that your look-alike page can tell the users to make sure that http://www.paypal.com is showing in the Address bar and reassure them that if it is, then the site is legit.

    Along the same lines as the Windex example, I would never buy a brand-name OTC painkiller. To me it's just a choice between Acetaminophen, Aspirin or Ibuprofen, not Tylenol, Bayer or Advil. And you read the ingredients you see that the generic brand contains the exact same thing but can be as much as half the cost. Granted, not all generic products are exactly equivalent to their brand-name counterparts, but it definitely pays to read the labels.

    Actualy, a yard split into 4 parts would yield pieces exactly 9 inches in length. That is the point of a measurement system based on 12 inches to a foot, it can be divided equally in multiples of 2 or 3. You can divide the yard into 10 parts of 3.6 inches in length which is not quite as elegant, but also not as useful in a real world situation.
