Thinly veiled Russia-hate? Its not like US engineers are immune to such ridiculous mistakes. Why make this a Russia thing?

Did you practice it for 6 weeks before writing it off as a technique? Because that's supposed to happen ..

Thanks for that - as an Oric-1/Atmos fan, I'm already aware of it, though. ;) No doubt other readers of this thread will find it useful.

I haven't honestly noticed a difference - I had a 2017 MBP last year, and this year upgraded it to the 2018 model .. they both feel like absolute junk to my hands, although I've been typing since the 70's so I've probabl

Too little, too late. Apple have gotten away with it. Typing this on a very crappy 2018 MBP keyboard, which I absolutely hate. If it weren't for the dependency that my job has on submitting apps to the App Store, I wouldn't be u

I've been quite into retro- computing for a few years, and have started recently to amass a collection of my favourite machines from the 8-bit era .. and one thing I'm really intrigued about is the 'lost tech' of these m

Australia has been on that road since it was founded. The amount of ignorance required to be a functional Australian these days is staggering - the nation was founded on totalitarian ideals ("White Australia") and has a long way

What isn't? Your line that its 'alarming' that Russia is getting away with it? Also propaganda. Follow the money - who stands to benefit from this newfound hatred of Russia?

I think this has a lot of potential to be a revolutionary product segment for musicians, for example. So much great music software is out there, literally impeded by not having such a great input mechanism - with something like a reconfigu

So, where is the evidence then? Like, actual evidence. Not propaganda, which is what your links are really. Real evidence. Something tangible, which leads to the conclusions being promoted by the propaganda. I'm yet to see any. Lik

The irony is that Americans are quite happy to be manipulated through Dialectic Materialism, communisms favourite philosophy...

There is never any proof offered, only blatant assertions. And its working very well as a propaganda point too - now, any time someone questions the powers that be and the way they operate, well .. obviously that person is a Russian troll.

You could try spending less on shiny war machines and more on your people, also.

Your nation has always been at war. The reason your infrastructure sucks is because your nation would rather spend money on war than anything else.

Its more like 75%. So? Still high enough to sway the data in favour of females.

America and its allies are wantonly killing innocents in the name of their war economy. This does not make for a strong moral position...

Because after Vietnam, Americans were not allowed to see the results of their warfare on television. Were it possible to publish war-crimes evidence freely and without military oversight, Americans would have much less lust for the wars th

Meh, more war justification. "But the other kids are doing it too" does not a morally authoritative position make.

The list of countries that are not invading others and destroying their civilisation is pretty long. You should educate yourself about the world.

I care not a fig for the constitution of a culture which allows the wanton and wilful destruction of civilisation without any recourse, responsibility, or indeed care in the world. Americans, willing recipients of its treasures, have nevert

Nobody wants to be confronted with their nations' real crimes, its true. But Americans have gone far beyond the point where they are able to confront the results of their out-of-control military-industrial-complex. Still, I suppose yo

I've got a better idea: 24 Hour War Channel. Every victim gets a time slot.

Comparing Qanon to Hitler is such a sad and tragic way to run from the truth.

Americans are simply not interested in the victims of their wars. It runs counter to every iota of American culture, to acknowledge the failures of their warrior-classes, alas. But, you should know, the article did mention the casualties,

Kind of follows the model of a lot of geek toys - case in point, synthesisers - which have gone through many cycles of the above, many times over the years, and it doesn't look like its going to change any time soon...

Nice. The only thing I don't like about it is that its browser based, because - as a musician with a room full of hardware - its hard to get over the conclusion that browser-based music tools are simply not ready for production - i.e.

I've heard both too, but I've seen docs that refer to the "NextSTEP/Sun" namespace .. somewhere buried deep in the Apple docs .. but I can't find it now. Either way, both "NextSTEP" and "NextSTE
