I imagine that there is a whole lot of overlap between the acoustic profiles of gunshots and other impulse-type sounds.

Ultimately, a gunshot and a backfire both sound like "impulse convolved with some transfer function depending on the local environment".

Huh, so a Windows keyboard works, but an Apple-brand one doesn't? So much for that legendary "it all just works!" thing. And look above -- another guy can't get them to work, either.

I've not had this problem with any Windows or Linux system. Ever. Hell, from the questions Ubuntu asks, it'll manage to support a Klingon keyboard layout if I happen to have one lying around.

Nope. Just iTerm, so it's still a fail. iTerm, incidentally, is better than the shitty terminal that comes with OSX, but you can smash the stack in it easily: running cat on a big binary file by accident results in ALL of your open terminals dying. From the errors thrown as it dies I bet there's a buffer overflow exploit lurking there.

Also, it handles the death of ssh very very badly -- tabs just freeze. Since it's a Mac and turns off every time you close the lid, with no way I can find to make it stay on, this happens all the time.
