I've never used foobar for bit-perfect playback, and from what I've seen on the foobar support forums that's not a very common scenario for foobar users either. The reason foobar is so far beyond the competition is because of its simple but highly customizable scripting features - particularly relating to file management and tagging. It's also got a huge list of smaller features that don't come together in any other player / library management software... ReplayGain scanning, applying RG to MP3s without re-encoding (useful for devices that don't support RG tags), a nice way to assemble stats on pretty much any aspect of your library or tracks you select in any combination (sample rate, bit rate, codec, running time, file size...). or to sort by any of those in the playlist view. The converter functionality is great too, you can use any command-line encoder with it. Processing with DSPs during the encoding process... being able to script the file name and folder path during the encoding process. I could probably go on for quite a while.
Other players might have a subset of these features, but they're all missing big chunks of what foobar does, and almost all of them use way more system resources. I checked out the latest version of Amarok recently, and got blasted with a gaudy inefficient UI and the program trying to connect to something over the internet for some reason, without me even having clicked anything yet. There's really nothing to compete with foobar on Linux (or on Windows for that matter). It's in a class of its own and has been since at least 2006 when I started using it. I'm frankly surprised there is no open-source equivalent - all the OSS developers seem to be stuck emulating Winamp or iTunes.
The vibe I got from the writeup was this: 5 years out, it could be feasible to have a country-wide wifi network that would handle data voice. Of course I don't think that's actually the case, due to range issues among other things, unless you are looking at only providing service to heavily urbanized areas.
This post reminds me of how much confusion the YouTube login systems have caused. I've been using YouTube since 2006, so I think I now have: Two separate "YouTube accounts", a "Google account", and a "Google Plus account". I'm still not clear on the distinction between all of these, how they are linked (between themselves and between other Google services), etc.
I've actually heard the same thing from someone else, that they did really good at pool while tripping. I wonder why that is, maybe it's got something to do with the geometry of the shots, of pattern recognition? I'm no stranger to tripping either, but I've never played pool on a trip, and I can't think of anything else.
It's not even really that new of an idea - the term "motorsports" has been around for what 60 years? 90? There are a number of things called *sport that are more about coordination or strategy than strength or endurance.
I can say anecdotally that methamphetamine does significantly increase FPS performance (back in those days it was CS:S in particular). I didn't keep a log of my kill/death ratio, but I knew what I usually scored, and I knew what I was scoring the night I was tweaked out was better.
Is there any documentation that this is/was actually a bug in Firefox? I've been using HTML5 Youtube in Firefox for close to a year, and occasionally do watch hour-long videos, and have never noticed this problem. I have noticed that if I put the computer to sleep with a video open, the video won't play upon waking (until I refresh the page). But that's a pretty minor issue to me - not to mention the Flash player had little bugs like that too that popped up occasionally.

I wonder if Redd Foxx is a furry.
Does anyone know if not allowing scripts from facebook.com (as with Noscript for example) is sufficient to stop the tracking?
BBC.
"what happened to the 'no desktop/server' installs?"
Nothing happened? Have you tried Debian? I imagine Gentoo also won't make you install anything you don't want, but I haven't used it in years.
Management positions attract sociopaths - particularly the highest level management positions. Other positions that attract sociopaths: lawyers, law enforcement, TV/radio personalities, salespeople, surgeons, chefs...
It's not really that hard. Just check a person's web browser. If it does not have 4 search bars installed, they can probably work Steam.

Bruh. If these tapes don't get digitized at some point, they will deteriorate to the point of being destroyed.
Links?
Aliens.
I'm not sure if it was AT&T specifically... I mean, I'm sure rumors about AT&T leaked, but what I heard is that all the ISPs do this.

It may make it harder to jump ship.
Keep in mind this is the Apple Watch... so, I think half the people buying it are doing it as a fashion statement.
I thought the new one was the FF7 remake.
40mm? I didn't know Glock made artillery pieces.
Yeah, there's no existence prior to Slashdot registration.

Would you eat it? Depends on how radioactive it is.

MSG stimulates what they call the "savory" taste, not this new "fat" taste they're talking about.

Like the politicians care about that site.
