Fuck, I thought I was the only one doing this. I must have around 1GB of auto-generated or carefully-saved malware (and a few MS-DOS virii) in my GMail account.
It just goes to show how stupid even those with "IT Expertise" can really be.
"As a former developer of web browsers (6 years of it), I can confirm that from a developer's point of view, Microsoft hooks more cleanly into the sockets API than the other's I've used'
As a typical computer user with basic fucking logic, NO DUH Microsoft can more cleanly hook into its own API than others.
Wrong. I've already checked and 32-bit versions of Camfrog no longer exist for my fiance's old iPhone. So once that phone gets wiped, that's fucking it.
"That said, 64-bit does have some quite significant advantages for iOS, so I don't imagine Apple wanting to keep the 32-bit code around in the OS for longer than they have to."
64-bit is nothing but extended 32-bit x86 (at least, as far as Intel/AMD goes.) There's literally no reason for essentially basic x86 code to not fucking run. There are tons of programs that simply do not benefit from having a 64-bit address space and forcing them to code for it is just adding unnecessary bloat and vulnerability.
Yes, it can absolutely provide the subtleties right down to saying "tremolo at semihemidemiquaver for this note." There's a good reason for all that whitespace. It's called a note margin and that's EXACTLY what they're there for. I can tell you've never actually used sheet music in your life.
In the upper section where notes like tuning, reed type for the instrument, and octave range belong, oh ye who has never written or read sheet music.
And for Guitars, the tablature tells you specifically the string and fret instead of just the general note, so you can match the timbre and tonality perfectly.
It's like you've never actually been taught how to use sheet music.
"Repeating that doesn't make it logical when the discussion is about recording and various media types."
Son, if you don't recognize SHEET MUSIC as a valid media type, you're no musician by any fucking means, and I doubt you even have the actual albums under your belt you claim to have.
I can tell you've never touched a piece of sheet music in your life. They tell you, in analog format, how to perfectly recreate the music contained within the information.
I can tell you've never heard of this thing called sheet music, which is an analog format of storing musical information so that one may replicate it perfectly.
You didn't read and understand my comment, obviously. Key words - Hot-swap drives. You can pull one directly out of the RAID and have an instant backup right then and there. Plug in another drive, it syncs up with the rest, you continue on.
You are a complete n00b if that simple leap of logic escaped you, and doubly so if you've never attempted building such a backup system. Back to MS-DOS for you.
Avaya systems are a breeze to set up if you have a proper MPLS setup. Clunky, yes they are physically clunky units and poorly-balanced on weight distribution.
"I don't know how true that is as a general statement - maybe more so in the US than elsewhere?"
Nah, I'm fairly certain it holds true globally. Do you know how many A+/N+ certified people have no clue what they're doing? Security 'experts' making the most basic level mistakes (not sanitizing inputs.) Cisco-Certified Network Admins that can't even configure an ASA to work alongside the damned Cisco switch...
And these are people I talk to that live in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, UK (Eton and Dorney, specifically) USA, Canada, Mexico, and more.
Fail. RAID is quite often used as backup especially in the case of hot-swappable drives and filesystems that support it in certain RAID configurations.
Anyone that doesn't know how to do this is a n00b that should probably be restricted to MS-DOS only.
" In fact, "transparent aluminum" doesn't even fit the alternate, more "loose", non-chemistry definition of "metal", as it is neither opaque, nor shiny."
Carbon is a metal. it is opaque and shiny. Yet, now we make a crystal out of it. Are you going to claim that diamond is not a metal, despite being made of pure metal and nothing else?
Yes, dumbass, we do have transparent aluminum. What the fuck do you think rubies and sapphires are? Admittedly, truly clear specimens that aren't heat-treated are very rare, but still, they exist.

No, unmixed is just the tracks. Mastering necessitates full mixdown and EQ/normalization.

"Stop being cheap and buy known certified products from official channels"
Please, there's plenty of UL/CE-listed crap out there where the second you take the power transformer apart you can find violations.
Certification means jack shit in this day and age.

The index of refraction only determines at which angle the light gets REFLECTED or path-changed.
Source: I do lapidary work. Index of Refraction is first fucking priority in cutting gems. Learn your boundary behaviors better.
Wow, how did you ever pass Chemistry? Metal is not a state of matter. Liquid, Gas, Solid, Plasma, and a couple others.
Metal is not one of them.
AV products actually make you less secure. They act as a MITM, replacing certificates with their own and totally defeating the purpose of TLS/HTTPS.
No, it is reflective, otherwise you could not make out details in the reflection (which is how mirages work, try living in a desert sometime.)

"the sample turned reflective, a key feature of metals"
Water is reflective. Hot air on the pavement is reflective at shallow angles. Neither of these are metals.
Yes, dumbass, we do have transparent aluminum. What the fuck do you think rubies and sapphires are? Admittedly, truly clear specimens that aren't heat-treated are very rare, but still, they exist.
Given the still-shitty importation and no signs of it improving any time soon? Yes.
