On Windows, Exact Audio Copy seems to be the gold standard with more bells and whistles than I could wish for.
I don't use Windows though.
What is the "best" way to rip audio CDs to FLAC with CUE sheets on Linux? Ideally, I'd like:
* automagic grabbing of meta-data off the Internet * automagic comparison of my ripped results to an online database. I.e. I want to know if my rip is bit-perfect. * a guesstimate of how good/bad a rip's quality is, depending on the read data of the disk drive * optionally a log file of the ripping process embedded in the FLAC * optionally a way to mark and/or save perfect copies to a different location
Someone on/. has to be an audio nerd as well. What's your setup, how do you do this? Or should I run EAC in Wine? Or do I need Windows, after all?
Even though it's trivial to scroll down and see the actual results in older browsers (remember, they were forced to do this by Google checking that page content they crawl is displayed at least for _some_ browsers) my very first thought was:
"Yes, I can get rid of expert sexchange!"
And it seems I am not alone.
I will also make a point of blocking every single site that aggregates mailing lists and pretends they are forum entries (no, the old players who do this optionally will not be blocked).
Simple move, but very nice one, Google.
Though I am taking bets on how long it will take for malware to block anti-virus/anti-fraud sites or blocking for negative SEO purposes.
Good sleep is an art and you can help achieve this goal:
* cold-foam pre-formed pillow * nice, warm and cozy blanket * skin-friendly sheets * the blanket must be at 30 cm longer than you are tall * optionally cold-foam pre-formed sleeping mask
The next step is an even more awesome cold-foam mattress than the one I have, already.
Inform yourself and buy those within a month. You will love it.
The last mile is dedicated; the backbone is symmetric.
None of their claims make any sense.
In related news, regulation for even access to vital infrastructure is not strong enough. Also, Virgin Media is hurt by clinging to an ancient business model.
1) they are throttling upstream, not downstream 2) your theory does not make sense unless people stop uploading the second the download is done 3) even if 2) were not the case, slower uploads what more clients are waiting for don't increase speed; really, they don;t
> Was anyone actually worried he would "pull a Jordan?"
Having read both, I am not worried. Martin simply kills the guy who everyone thought would come out the victor in the end just to keep things interesting.
It's not like Jordan where story-lines are partially reset just to make the story longer.
And while that's probably the fault of the publisher, in my version of book two or three, about twenty pages happen twice. Main guy and random sidekick walk along a road, get diverted to a farm or something, come back, do some more stuff and _exactly the same diversion takes place_. Word for word.
Can you get the source via the App Store? If not, it's a violation of the GPL.
They have to offer you the source via exactly the same means as the binaries.
Yes:

No idea. If I were Google, I would have nuked them from the search index ages ago.
> That would be a violation of Google's rule against cloaking.
The are displaying the content on older browsers, but hide it on newer ones.
Another trick is to blur it.
The next trick is to hide it after some time.
I will be happy once we block expert sexchange into non-existence.

This was demonstrated at 27c3.
Also, you don't need to set up your own network, having a Motorola C123 and a serial cable is enough.
No, I was the one with the huge knife and other assorted tools. Teachers knew about them because I carried them openly.
This being Germany and non-retarded times, no one cared.
Still, searching property is Not An Option without a warrant and Must Be Opposed.
Period.
...even the submitted blurb confirms this. Sheeesh.
In what country is searching the bag of a pupil OK?
Fuck you.
You are part of the problem, not the solution.
The same law that let him pull a gun on the teacher without police taking care.
> I would insert the barrel of my SIG 210 up their left nostril and politely ask them NOT to do it again.
And you would go to jail for it and a good thing also.
Protecting yourself, your family or total strangers is fine. Pulling a gun unless you are in a life-threatening situation is not.
Now go rub manly oil on your biceps or whatever it is you like to do while not bi-winning around the clock.

And that's really all there is to it.
Sorry, I can't. But make sure to
a) tell them why you are leaving
b) complain to your local consumer protection and regulation authorities. Printed letters.

Oh, I get it. You are jealous and thus Virgin has the right to fuck over people who have more than you.
While I am not sure TFA will succeed with someone determined to be a troll, these things might:

tl;dr: Kindness, understanding and trying to make them see that people on the receiving side are people too can work wonders.

Seriously?

> Wouldn't this accomplish the same thing without all the expense of creating and testing new beers in a zero G environment?
No idea, you would need to test it...
But it would still taste like a hand full of mud ;)
Or a RouterBoard, for that matter.
Seems no one tried a Fritz!Box 7390 or other current models.
I remember seeing Blade Runner when aged ~10-12. I don't claim I got everything, but I liked it lots.
