Where is your town? I believe there are some places in the US where only one broadband provider is available, but I'm not privy to any of them. I live in a rural part of Utah, and there are no less than four options available to me (Comcast, Century Link, and a couple of WISPs). I currently get ~60 Mb up/down for $45/mo with my WISP.

Being able to download ISOs of your favorite OS -- what a novel idea!

That's not the market that matters for the Atom. ARM-based micros are their real competition and, with processors like Samsung's Exynos, Qualcom's Snapdragon and Apple's A8, Intel doesn't have any lead at all.

No, we used to have that, back in the days of dial-up. It went away and never returned, except for wireless telcom carriers -- who are now also abandoning metered service.

It looks like a clean, white shirt with mustard stains. Why do the folders have to be yellow? Why not choose a color that actually blends nicely with the rest of the scheme?

Ratio between toxic dose and typical human intake? That's their scale. Pretty meaningless. Yeah, put water on that scale, and I'd bet it would be somewhere down around heroin's risk.

Why should I give a rat's ass what some pretentious, beany-wearing hipster communications major thinks about a restaurant? What kind of statistical accuracy can a data set of one (1) provide? No. I want many opinions from many average Joes -- being an average Joe myself.

You actually pay attention to "customer" rating????

As opposed to.... what? MPAA rating?

I don't care now long I live. I do care about how well I live. I'd rather be muscular, look good and have the freedom to go snowboarding as much as I want, and die in my 70's, than be out of shape and have difficulty getting around until I'm 100.

It's doctors and "nutritionists", not just journalists, who have propagated these falsehoods.

He didn't say they were his. Aaaand, his name is Mr. Intel. So...

Righto -- statistics is in favor of evolution not happening. Gotcha.

Ha! I remember those. I only listened to a few, though.

Even though they're kind of goofy, there's some good tech history in those recordings. Those were simpler times, eh?

Thanks for that. Bitwig looks excellent. After a few days of playing with it, I'm sure I'll end up buying it.

I'd still rather use Cool Edit from 1998 than Audacity. I'm glad we have a free tool like Audacity, but I currently use Adobe Audition 1.0 (they bought Cool Edit way back) running in Wine, which is a much better solution IMO.
