Personally, I wish Foobar2000 was available for the Mac. It is my favorite GUI player (I personally love mpc/mpd).

This tale reminds me of the scene in the movie Singles, where the protagonist is working to create a new train, but is denied by the mayor because he knows that "people love their cars".

I have to agree; that doesn't make sense mathematically.

"Note that Arch follows the systemd FHS convention of symlinking" The Systemd convention? What the fuck? Does Systemd have to touch everything??

I have historically liked Windows but I shudder what is becoming of it. Every time I turn around lately, Microsoft is taking administrative freedom away from users and businesses.

I was under the impression they did do audio fingerprinting. Otherwise, you could gain access to a ton of music.

If "narrative liberties" are an issue for you, than you should never watch a Hollywood movie that is "based on a true story".

I personally don't have a problem with this, just as I had no problem with Apple not wanting to help the government with an investigation. I don't think it is right to want it both ways.

The one thing I hear mentioned is that GCC supports more processors than Clang does. I believe this is the reason that NetBSD and OpenBSD still use GCC.

Personally, I wonder who though Apple's growth would never end. This happens to every company sooner or later.

I can't agree with that, even if the results are good. And for the record, I am an organ donor.

I understand that some people argue that the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to members of terrorist organizations; that it only applies to members of a sovereign country's military. Regardless, it reflects badly on us. Torture is

You comment about spelling and phrases reminds me of the NYT's Dialect Quiz Map. I tried it and it was accurately able to guess where I was originally from. While not useful by itself, I could see it being handy as part of an overall i

It is the same with NetBSD, which I love, although it annoys me that Inetd is turned on by default.

For me, the most important take away from this article is the importance of keeping files in formats that are open. On my Macbook Air, all of my personal files are in text, jpeg/png, pdf, or mp3 formats. Of course, even open formats ca
