I think its completely ridiculous to equate criticism of American military misadventures with the catch-all "ideological flamewar" doublethink. Its precisely because arguments against American military crimes are couched as '

She's a hero if someone says she is, and that's all there is to it. I think she was a brave, selfless person in doing what she did, and I'm glad that the US got its ass handed to it in this way. American military crimes are

I've always loved your LOAD81 project and would encourage you to return to it and add some new features - so maybe how you made it, what it can be used for, how you can extend it by adding functionality .. ? EDIT: I know its not as se

I'm with you - and on the subject, having been exposed to a hell of a lot of iOS apps, I kind of think the walled-garden has, in many ways, both promoted the 'weird-art' aspect, as well as limited it. Promoted: there are now

Hey now, us synth-diy guys have been around a lot longer than hipsters! :P Seriously though, this announcement from Google does reek of "invented in ignorance"-style NIH'erism .. but then again, it may be an effective market

I once had a long discussion with Axel about the Neuron, which went like this, around and around in circles: Me: "So .. how does it work?" Axel: "It doesn't matter how it works, musicians don't care, they just want

Sorry but I just don't agree with you. Seeing kids doing nothing but blowing up pixels on their computers is a real tragedy. So many better things they could be doing, but because of the consumer culture you espouse, they just won&#x

Old computers never die - their users do! We should definitely not be throwing away old computers. They're just as useful as they were when they were assembled, and can be tasked to do all sorts of things we haven't even thought

I have a GPD Pocket, and I love it. Its a unibody laptop with a great screen, passable keyboard, and so on. Its user serviceable - very easy to open up. What I'd love: if some bright and talented hardware engineer could produce an upg

I stopped using my fountain pens years ago, but my kids have picked them right back up, and thats about the best good use of them that I can imagine. Nothing like seeing a young 'un, carefully spelling out the letters in their words,

Your point of view is entirely the reason why I'm so upset at these spying devices. Because you have reasoned that it is acceptable to not have control over who/what observes your life , in the pursuit of .. convenience and lei

I don't doubt its real. I question the fact that we've ended up in this situation: spying devices laughing at their users. And we got here by way of technological apathy towards the ethics issues. And .. We are still here. Ever

Yes, I think this is just too dystopian for rational people to be allowing to occur. We've actually made intrusive, spying devices which laugh at their users. (Note, they're not owners, but just users of a service owned by a meg

I think there is definitely a proclivity towards staying at home, as a cultural norm, while sending ones partner off to work - and I don't think this is really balanced, no. The idea that there is one parent that is more 'ideal a

I've had precisely the opposite experience - for me, JACK is amazing and gives me 40-channels of pro audio over my external audio interfaces (I run a studio with a Linux DAW), but if I put PulseAudio anywhere near this configuration, i
