Southampton there is a big panoramic view from the restaurant, but the rest of the store is in the middle of a very boring shopping district, so you would otherwise be looking at cars and other buildings.

I love IKEA. I even visited an IKEA whilst in Norway just to see how it stacked up to the UK.

When drivers are based on GPL code then you do not release the changes, but sell the resulting drivers as part of your OS. That was what I was told.

The BeOS source is not clean. It had loads of third party closed source licensed stuff in the tree. It is also massive, it is a complete OS and most of the supporting apps source code. It would be non trivial to make it open and it would no

Best thing I ever did for myself, taught myself to be able to listen to music whilst doing something else. I used to have a 2 hour commute on a train, so I would read a book. Bu trains are noisy. So I learned to listen to an iPod while read

Not really true. The Apple Watch series 3 was released 2017, so it got 4.5 - 5 years of support. I don't think that is bad. It will still work, it will just not get any more OS updates. I sport an iPhone 6s. I guess it is unsupported f

No, I haven't - I don't have a recent licence for Reaper (mine was for 2.x and therefore I only got 3.x without buying more and I started to use GarageBand as I was only doing light stuff by that point.) Sounds interesting though.

I think Twilight was the first novel from the author and she pretty much wrote a transcript, and got a book deal off the back of it. She had little previous experience in writing novels and was just very, very lucky that it happened to all

The TV license covers you watching any broadcast content, no matter if it is received via antenna/aerial, satellite dish, cable TV or over the internet. If it is broadcasted, it is covered and you need a TV license to view it. It

The problem with Wikipedia moderation is that is all done by people that care about the subject. If you pick a subject that no one cares too much about, you can easily deface it with non true information. The other issue is the war cry &quo

Yeah I agree this is a lot more like Audacity. But if it has chapter support and clips can be aligned like in something like a regular DAW, it has an advantage.

On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need. I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steepe

They have content deals, and when they expire they have to renegotiate. The problem is, there are so many territories and so many little competitors now, someone will likely outbid them and the service will then lose that content.

Possibly the lack of spaces? I use Exposé mostly to organise my spaces these days. I use older OSX less and less as PowerPC is only useful to developing the retro68 port. Since I got Sorbet Leopard on the G4 it also hardly boots Tiger.

I’ve used OSX on Intel since Leopard (10.5), though I have a Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3) install on my old PowerBook and Tiger (10.4) on my G4 Mac Mini, and small things changed, but on the whole the OS is the same. I mean, Aqua style cha

Tascam us-122mkII support was dropped. It is ancient, but it still works and there was a Windows 10 driver. I just got a cheaper Behringer uphoria that uses standard USB audio (or whatever) but loosing the Tascam was annoying.

Not really. The last hold out is the 13”, but that design has not changed since it was Intel based. The 14 and 16” versions have no touchbar and I would guess the 13” won’t either on the next redesign.
