I haven't had a sound daemon running in over a year. It's only the last six months or so that it Just Works, but with a recent kernel and ALSA libs everything from Flash to Totem to Gaim is mixed in software just fine.
Rather than foisting up the India-China emissions cabal red herring, the United States needs to assume its leadership role in the world and take tough, unilateral action on emissions.
Because he was nigger rich. (Yeah, yeah, mod me down, it's just an expression.)
It's the same thing you'll see with drug dealers. When they get out of the game, for whatever reason, they leave with nothing. I don't think such high-risk endeavors are compatible with the mindset that puts money in the bank and/or goes to college.
What really drives it home is that this guy got out clean. He didn't get busted, fined, thrown in jail--nothing. He could have put just $500 a week away and even if he only did that for two years have over $50k in the bank--more than enough to get started on a lot of legitimate businesses.
Just one thing... FLAC does not compress to 40-50%. More like 60(rare)-70-80%. That being said, no lossless codec does better than 60% occasionally. There's no point chasing a couple percent, even when we're talking about hundreds of gigs, because if you're archiving this how much would it suck if you went to recover this years from now, Windows XP and Vista was no longer available, Monkey's Audio went out of business in 2008 and never made a Vista version, which is the last "audio path" that's compatible with Windows '84. IOW, you're fucked.
What do I do?
Rip twice fully with highest CDParanoia settings and drive offset corrected. Use a high-end drive like Plextor that doesn't allow unreported errors.
Compare rips, with diff. One bit difference, and it's discarded.
Same procedure with cdrdao to get the TOC. Don't rip with cdrdao, you need to edit the code to get highest paranoia settings and support drive offset. Did that once, couldn't apply my patch to the new version automatically, screw it, use both.
Convert TOC to CUE to add to the FLAC.
Encode to flac, embed the CUE (just in case, we still keep both TOC & CUE).
Actually, I started splitting my flacs with SHNsplit and putting in Vorbis tags, but if you're going to archive and never play the list is the way to go.
If you eat at restaurants, no matter how nice, you will at times eat spit, hair, dirt, cleaning products, blood, rodent parts, and very likely shit and semen at some point. Hopefully not all at the same time, but you never know. Restaurants are disgusting, no matter what you do. Accept it.
If you think AD is nothing more than a shitty LDAP server/DB, you obviously don't have much of anything to do with it.
Not that it doesn't have its share of shittiness, but it's 1.) Actually a Great Idea for managing a network and 2.) Just an LDAP server like Windows is just the Registry.
Yes. I take it personally when my belief system is used as a synonym for stupid, ignorant or "intellectually backwards".
You believe in some magic guy in the sky for no reason at all, and then you freak when people think you're ridiculous. How would you suggest we view your belief system?
There's no reason Twilight Princess couldn't use conventional controls, any Wii-specific stuff is superfluous at best and sometimes more of a main than a joystick.
Or maybe it's because they're better. I had an old 325 and it was the best car I ever owned, and not because it had BMW logos. Limited-slip RWD meant that if you slid in the snow you could recover... and because they spend so much time making them perfectly balanced it was easy. I used to take corners sideways on snowy days, and never worry I was going to end up in a ditch. The interior wasn't chincy and tacky... No broken door handles, or any of the other usual crap that happens. Heat directed to the rear passengers. A warning if it was below 36F to watch for icy roads. The driver's side door wouldn't lock if it was open, so no locking your keys in the car. A light came on for everything that could go wrong, from coolant level low to washer fluid to a brake light being out. When the weather was good, it positively stuck to the road. Plus, a smooth straight six for plenty of power, a damn near silent exhaust that still passed CA emissions tests after 20 years, and 28MPG ain't bad, especially with over 200,000 miles on it. I recently gave it to a friend because I didn't want to put the $2,000 into suspension work that it neeeded, but he did and it's still going strong. Next time I'm in the market, I'm getting a more recent beamer and I'm sure I'll love it.
Somebody who takes their identity from a car is a jackass, but in my opinion dipshits like you who claim to know better and yet still judge people based on what they drive, are even worse.
OK, number one I totally flaked on. Lawyers, it's hard to think of them as technical, although I do get your point, a lot of what makes a good lawyer is what makes a good programmer (pessimism). But one thing that gets me: with careful study I can puzzle out law. Ever seen a lawyer near a computer? *shudder* Academia? As in, not science or engineering academia? I don't get that one. Public Policy falls under lawyer, and #5 I plain disagree. It's not hard to learn what buttons to push when, being technical is figuring it out on your own. Maybe forensics, but I've talked to those guys, and being smart is more of an exception than a rule. Which kind of brings us back to doctors and lawyers. 1 1/2 out of 5 ain't bad;)
People bend over backward in today's society to encourage women to take traditional male roles and cheer them as they do. When the situation is reversed, society isn't so kind.
Why in God's name would I want to do dishes and knit and gossip all damn day long before faking an orgasm and crying myself to sleep?

Yeah! I've been playing the Calvinball RTS on my non-deterministic Turing machine and it's awesome.
By right of the rule of my superiority, I declare that we are fighting, and the first one to claim victory in this conversation wins! I win!

Sure, but could you give me a hand with this 28-foot 15TB DVD?

*blank stare*
Have you ever actually tried that? I did, with a 1Mib link and average 15ms latency, and forget it.
Are you on a hallucinogen right now?
Wow, that's fucked up. I hope they at least left port 53/udp open for you so you can use another DNS server.
If a child of my own blood beat someone to death for no reason I'd take them to the police myself.
They can't all be winners, even your own.

Some guy on the Internet says so!
Meh. Probably not a bad way to go.
Impeach doesn't mean what you think it does.

Dog in a bathtub is impossible.

They should garrote anyone who castrates someone.
