You're creating a straw man argument out of something that had nothing to do with my original point - which was that you don't need a "good ear" to do what you said was Dr. Dre's area of expertise. I guarantee that as a producer, Dr. Dre's job responsibilities do not include "[evaluating] the results of different parametric curves on tone signature." That's it.

I'll assume you're being sarcastic. Yes, a lot of common quality issues with YouTube videos could probably be solved by some fully-automated post-processing. In cases where the problem is obvious enough that you can detect it by listening to it, I'd argue that an untrained 5-year old could also detect the issue (i.e., you don't need a "good ear.")

The point is you do not need a "good ear" to detect any of those things, because they are easily quantifiable. In fact it's not even desirable, because "good ears" are just as susceptible to biases and placebo effects as the rest of us.

Any mention of "good ear" with respect to physically measurable quantities, means that you're either woefully ignorant or trolling.

A "good ear" with respect to what's popular, or what might market well, that's one thing. But what you actually said is just elitist audiophile bullshit.

Feckin' jobbies!

Did you forget to post anonymously? This is some weak trolling.

No, not arbitrary. Very definite.

YOUR sentence is plain wrong: "The sentence parses (...) the average baby..."

What the heck are you implying here?!

I read Wikipedia all day. So I'm a researcher. So that means I do important stuff, huh.

This doesn't sound like a design decision, though. At least not directly. Still wondering what the parent is talking about.

I'm a Linux (and UNIX and Windows) user, but I honestly know very little about how drivers in Linux differ from drivers in, say, Windows, or any other OS for that matter. Could you explain what the issues are? I Googled for "Linux driver model" but didn't find anything particularly enlightening.

I tried Planetside 2 (maybe a year ago), and there were definitely fun moments. Most of the time, though, there weren't enough people online to be fun. It's the type of game where if there isn't a big battle going on somewhere it's not really that fun. And I'm not talking trying to play in the middle of the night, either, there were Fridays/Saturdays during primetime when there just wasn't anybody online.

"So this other guy: he's a cancer treatment like you, right?"
"Not like me. Indium-Gallium, advanced prototype."
"You mean more advanced than you are?"
"Yes. A mimetic poly-alloy."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Liquid metal."

I am so fortunate to live in such an advanced age of graphics processors, that let me run the equivalent of a web browser application and a 2D tetris game. What progress! We truly live in an age of enlightenment!
