Pulseaudio never worked properly on any of my setups, across several machines, several distributions and many years. Problems vary: no sound at all, sound stopping after a while, sound interrupted by silences, insane CPU consumption for lit

Yes, please. In 3 weeks, I can do whatever and still earn enough money to retire before the end of October 2016. And while we're talking about shoes, a good shoe-seller could do the job of about any CEO in those huge companies. Would b

The kind of CEOs who get golden parachutes earn enough money in a single year to live a whole life on it without having a job again. There is absolutely NO risk whatsoever taken. There is not even any investment that they could lose either,

My personal conclusion is always the same: I always come back to Windowmaker. Every single time I use another DE, no matter how shiny it is (and they are truly beautiful when you open them for the first time), I face half-baked applications

A huge part of the musician's work is repeating the same performance over and over. This part is already mostly automatised: you don't need to look for an actual musician to listen to music, more often you turn on your radio &#x2F
