  1. Re:Not to mention Audio Editing on The Current State of Linux Video Editing · · Score: 1

    Ha! I remember those. I only listened to a few, though.

    Even though they're kind of goofy, there's some good tech history in those recordings. Those were simpler times, eh?

  2. Re:Not to mention Audio Editing on The Current State of Linux Video Editing · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that. Bitwig looks excellent. After a few days of playing with it, I'm sure I'll end up buying it.

  3. Not to mention Audio Editing on The Current State of Linux Video Editing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'd still rather use Cool Edit from 1998 than Audacity. I'm glad we have a free tool like Audacity, but I currently use Adobe Audition 1.0 (they bought Cool Edit way back) running in Wine, which is a much better solution IMO.

  4. ...he was shouted down for anti-semitism, and there was a huge cry for apologies.

    Yeah? But, who died as a result? Where was the slaughter?

    There's a bug fucking difference -- you're just too obtuse to acknowledge it.

  5. Re:Makes sense. on Google Throws Microsoft Under Bus, Then Won't Patch Android Flaw · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I totally agree. Google could patch it, but it would then be up to the various manufacturers to push it out (Samsung, et al.) But, despite this, Google should still patch it, for PR's sake.

  6. Not a problem on Waze Causing Anger Among LA Residents · · Score: 1

    Any proposed solution is moot. Climate change is going to push all these people inland soon, so they'll have another chance to decide where to live and how traffic will affect them. We either believe it, or we don't. Right?

  7. Re:My personal favorite of the past few years... on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    Dirty deeds, Thunder Jeep.

  8. Re:will be seen as a dig against science (air quot on A Paper By Maggie Simpson and Edna Krabappel Was Accepted By Two Journals · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this will just get used by anti-science folks to point out how full of shit "science" is.

    Or, it will be used by pro-science folks to point out how full of shit the peer "review" system is -- or can be.

  9. Re:why would I write to that? on Microsoft Introduces .NET Core · · Score: 1

    Hey, don't hassle the Hoof. Besides, isn't slashcode freely available?

    Admittedly, I don't know who Bennet Hasselhoof is. I guess I haven't been paying attention. ?

  10. Re:if you don't fight you lose on GNOME Project Seeks Donations For Trademark Battle With Groupon · · Score: 1

    You're right, but I believe that pertains to trademarked names for common products being adopted into the vernacular. For instance, Band aid, Kleenex and Velcro. Nobody says, "sterile adhesive bandage", "facial tissue" or "hook-and-loop", yet if the brands weren't defended, any facial tissue company could start marketing Kleenexes, because it's the common term for the product.

  11. Re:In other news... on GNOME Project Seeks Donations For Trademark Battle With Groupon · · Score: 1

    *crickets*

    I think it's one of the best ideas to hit the web in the last ~5 years. Win for small businesses. Win for cheap-ass consumers. Well implemented. What's your beef?

  12. Non-issue on GNOME Project Seeks Donations For Trademark Battle With Groupon · · Score: 1

    I like Groupon, and I'm a KDE user. But, most importantly, I think we're all smart enough to know the difference between GNOME and Groupon's tablet. We're not dummies (esp. those of us who are familiar with GNOME) -- we're not going to be confused. So, this is a non-issue.

  13. Re:News For Nerds? on US Midterm Elections Discussion · · Score: 1

    That's why I mentioned Bush in my post, dumbass.

  14. Re:News For Nerds? on US Midterm Elections Discussion · · Score: 3, Informative

    Freedom of the press has taken a huge hit under the Obama admin.
    Although one could argue that the wheels were set in motion during Bush's watch, it was under Obama's Napolitano that we lost the freedom to not be groped or oggled at the airport.

  15. Re:How about "I couldn't care less."? on Ask Slashdot: Can You Say Something Nice About Systemd? · · Score: 1

    In regard to your sig, it's "baseball bat", not "baseball club". Have a nice day.

  16. Re:186k suscribers lost on Cutting the Cord? Time Warner Loses 184,000 TV Subscribers In One Quarter · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but the speed of light is approximately 186k miles per second! Coincidence?

  17. Re:Errr.. no... on End of an Era: After a 30 Year Run, IBM Drops Support For Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 1

    Or Wingz. I remember using Wingz on IBM RISC work stations at the University. It was great.

  18. Re:Perhaps building a civilization would help... on The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine · · Score: 1

    Ask a black man what he has to go through on a daily basis...

    I'm trying to, but Obama won't return my calls.

  19. Re:Anarchy is all fun and games... on The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine · · Score: 2

    Striving toward political change is also != anarchy.

  20. Re:What is the point of these articles? on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 0

    It is dissenting data, doofus. This is because it flies in the face of the bullshit claims made by the alarmists that the polar ice caps would be melted by now. And, it's dissenting data, because the anonymous coward I originally responded to, who obviously prefers to suckle at the disinformational teet of the alarmists, wants to bury it.

  21. Re:What is the point of these articles? on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, hide the dissenting data! Don't look at it! We need to evangelize the narrative, people.

    Is that how this science works?

  22. Re:hmmm on Deadmau5 Accuses Disney of Pirating His Music · · Score: 1

    He's a producer you halfwit. Not a DJ

    So... is he producing when he wears the mouse head? On a stage?

  23. Re:I forced myself to watch it on Put A Red Cross PSA In Front Of the ISIS Beheading Video · · Score: 2

    Not seeing the video is a form of willful apathy, IMHO.

    I disagree. I have not watched it, because I am making a conscientious decision to filter input that may (almost certainly) affect my psyche. I'm far from apathetic, though.

    Do you believe that we must all view video of a rape to attain any sympathy for the victim?

  24. Re:Unfortunately? on seL4 Verified Microkernel Now Open Source · · Score: 2

    I made a statement about GPLv2 being more conducive than its successors to project adoption, and you obviously disagree with this statement. Because of this -- because your opinion differs, I'm trolling? You need to go to wikipedia and learn.

  25. Unfortunately? on seL4 Verified Microkernel Now Open Source · · Score: 2

    (only, no "or later versions clause" unfortunately)

    You mean, fortunately. Now, it's more likely to actually be used.
