    MCCOY: They're soft, and they make a pleasant sound.

    SPOCK: So would an ermine violin, Doctor, yet I see no utility in owning one.

    So it's not possible to add a little spice to the crazy soup and then stir it up a bit without having placed all the ingredients in the pot yourself?

    Excellent job of proving the AC's point--you really don't get that F=ma thing, do you?

    It's also a great time to be a professional artist or musician on Linux. Sure, some tools are immature but some are awesome. I just discovered Liquidsynth and its galaxy of LADSPA plugins.

    Are you referring to FluidSynth?

  8. Found the guy on the right, who also doesn't know the difference between "threw" and "through", and who is *not* one of the 0.1% who really does know better than a spellchecker (that's "lasagna", BTW).

    Your example just goes to show that those who fail to understand normalisation are doomed to reinvent it—poorly.

  9. Found the Kool-aid drinker.

    Huh! That's odd, not one of those groups represent Trump or Republicans in any way.

    No shit, Sherlock—this only being the entire point of the exercise and all.

    It is entirely possible—for those who know what they're talking about—to employ m-dashes here.

    Yeah, it's not like Linux hasn't been my desktop OS for 12+ years or that people who think using "lol" in lieu of punctuation makes them look witty aren't idiots.

    Pffffft. Get back to me when I can post here in Russian or Chinese, like it's been possible to do at Ars since 1990-something. That'd be something like actual Unicode support.

    It was a nice after-dinner treat here in Munich. City lighting made getting any decent photos impossible, though.

    BTW, I highly recommend Green Oasia on Bunzlauerstraße. Best real Chinese food I've had just about anywhere not in China, if you order from the Chinese-language menu. I suspect the menu in German contains the usual Westernised junk, but it's probably not bad, either.

    With DEs that support multiple desktops having been a thing for decades, I've never seen the need to emulate them in hardware.
