Decent audio -- far more important than video. Your rapport goes up 10x. You can not just discuss but also talk over the top of each other in the way that is naturally part of conversation; and even argue. We develop a system originally for

I run a system called Cleanfeed, which is VOIP designed for live radio broadcasts. Sounds like it might be a good fit for your needs: http://cleanfeed.net/ It handles all the audio routing for 3-way (or more), and recording

CSV locks you to the same fields per data entry, that makes it a little less flexible. Plus one of the appeals for me is readability of the raw data; CSV gets long and thin very quickly. Granted each will best suit a certain type of data.

Yes, we do this; it seems to be both the correct solution, and one which works effectively in practice -- use email properly. Auto responders generally send their messages to the mail Sender. That seems correct to me. We send automated mail

Not quite; I think '.c.o' is the equivalent in the original Make syntax?

If they're totally fine apart from the headband, you should find the padding of the headband is removable. You might find eg. Canford do a variation on the part, or you could use some alternative of your choosing.

Interesting trying to tcpdump this; of course it basically explodes in reverse DNS queries. tcpdump -n is needed, but I wonder if this sort of behaviour could be exploited in some nasty/interesting way.

To be fair to the article, it 'remarks' on the lack of comments there but doesn't specifically call it out as a best practice.

This is a nice example. It's not that we are not capable of understanding the original code block, but the 'breathing space' and just some minor sparse comments now allow much of that understanding in less than a few seconds

I selected GPLv2 for distributing a project even with the availability of v3. I see others who did this as well. Version 2 is readable by mere mortals; simplicity is a feature. I was also surprised by the boilerplate "version x or any

Locking down files in the name of "security"; configs and logs. Everything containing even the most banal pieces of information. The result? All our sysadmins marching around as root all day because it's the only way they can

I wanted to use an IMAP sync but after much experimenting with existing tools concluded that the protocol wasn't flexible enough for a proper two-way synchronisation. I can't remember the exact reasoning now but several years on I

You're right, the submitted article says they "reiterated it" but with no source. The rest of the content is from the Wired article quoted, which is a couple of years old but should probably be the link here: https/&#x2F

> That means your software won't compile in a lot of platforms. Is won't anyway; qsort_r has already limited me to a tiny number of platforms. If I care about further portability, autotools can't do anything to help me;

You're commenting on the prototype for qsort() itself, whereas the original point was about the function pointer that is an argument to qsort_r(). Both Linux and BSD chose to add a non-standard qsort_r(), each choosing different ways t

Best bit is that X11 runs really well these days -- responsive, fast, reliable. Emacs runs great, gitk, xterm, xosview, mplayer window manager, even Firefox is alright. Renoise, Maya, Blender too. Not to mention network transparency when I

You can easily leak whether someone has an account on your website -- if I know their email address and input it, does it basically tell me? This limits your ability to reasonably error if the email address inputted is wrong. Still, a lot o

Thanks, good suggestion. It's actually on the front page that our free offering is a spin-off of something commercial. But a FAQ to clarify this particular point would be sensible.

Am I the only person who was hoping for an actual re-vamp of the 3310? ie. a b/w screen (always on, easy to read in direct sunlight). Perhaps updated for 3/4G networks and modern chargers, and maybe without some of the bugs. Right

I can't comment on Reaper specifically, but to those who haven't used audio applications they often have more in common with a game than a regular desktop application. The software is often generating live displays in response to

I'd recommend to work out what field you're selling to, and consider if you can follow what the major vendors are using in that field. Your customers' sysadmins are probably already dealing with a bunch of commercial software

The problem here is monopoly, or mono culture. The whole world is, basically, using one email client. The lack of diversity means a well written scam like this spreads easily. I can say for certain I'd never fall for this scam -- becau

Lawyer. With years of building and debugging code I find the logical aspects of the law rather interesting. Though the amount of reading, less so.
