> lightly-roasted, sour-tasting coffee thing A well made espresso with light-medium roast bean should taste fruity and maybe a little tangy and sweet, though this depends on no end of factors. Coffee Angel around Dublin is a good one. Mo

If a Domino's moped is the worst thing in the cycle lane I think I'm doing well. It's usually taxis and broken glass around here.

"Every good scientist is half B. F. Skinner and half P. T. Barnum" I've seen Warwick speak. He's not afraid to throw science away completely in favour of making a dramatic point. I remember him claiming his flesh "e

I already have probably hundreds of registrations on sites I cannot be certain about the security of. I would like to reduce that number.

If you take the time to learn the language, it's quite readable. I used to know a guy who'd freak out about not being able to read Perl. He couldn't write ("speak") it either, so I'm not sure what he was expect

I own Grado this and Sennheiser that, even a decent pair of JVC the other, but one of my favourite, best sounding and most comfortable sets is my Superlux HD681s. €20. I believe they use the same drivers (and superficial design) as AKG K240

I get that, but Pulseaudio has also ruined my day more times than ALSA has... so as far as my specific requirements go, I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to achieve. It's just sort of foisted on me if I pick the wrong d

Currently, OSS compatible APIs are what you have on (*nix && !Linux). ALSA is monstrous to configure, but capable. JACK serves a very specific purpose for music production. I'm still not sure what pulseaudio is for, but I don&#

> Seriously Clever for A 10 year old book on perl basics is probably pushing it. Why is the age of this book relevant? It's not an overview of the basics. it's a 500+ page exploration of Perl's functional programming featu

I would look at Modern Perl before Perl Best Practices. While Perl::Critic bases much of its criticism on PBP, quite a bit of it turned out to be not so useful.

Well, the Guy is pretty clever. I think, given the tools, he could produce high quality work. http://hop.perl.plover.com/ - seriously clever.

I "seed" my game by mashing < ^ > keys for a few seconds, then play normally. I might revert to mashing if I free up some space. edit Though the game also appears to be broken. This is my single player strategy too :)

There's also the lack of information on which particular edition of an album you're getting. If it's more than a couple of decades old, there have likely been a couple of terrible remasters in the mean time - probably easier

Have you seen Micro Men? Whimsical sort of film about the early days of Sinclair and Acorn, with some focus given to the race to manufacture the BBC's computer.

I managed to get replacement motherboards for both under warranty, including engineer call out. You'd almost think the virus shipped with the computer, the way they responded.

Thanks for reminding me of that one. Some bogus design decisions by Packard Bell (no jumper/switch to lock out BIOS flash access) meant two of my machines were written off. No, they weren't running pirated Windows, though I was on

Aren't there licensing issues around the VST SDK which means LMMS rarely ships with VST functionality built in? I tried building it with VST support once, not exactly seamless - not sure I ever got it to work.
