Do you use pulseaudio or alsa-server? then you're already running a "front end over a daemon". hell, if you're running a kernel audio module (and i'd bet you are) you're running some front end over something that behaves (except for some techno-lawyering) just like a daemon. Your disgust is, in my humble opinion, misplaced.

As a broader hey-you-kids-get-off-my-lawn polemic: folks that fancy themselves as techies (most slashdot commentors?) would do themselves a favor in education not to become so rigidly married to GUIs. GUIs are handy for a specific class of tasks typically involving many choices taken from relatively small sets; but in the background they're essentially, often actually, performing what a single line of "Ugh" command-line would do. ...end of sermon, now run off and program a glitzy interface over some crusty old code.

no indeed. http://xmms2.org/wiki/Main_Page and/or

git clone git://git.xmms.se/xmms2/xmms2-devel.git

compiles easily. and it's only heard not seen. it does exactly what a music player ought to do and no more.

blessings upon the maintainers.

thankee. i'm not sure what it "accomplishes" either (answering the next reply). but it is interesting ...to me.

could someone post the result of running

grep -ir "amazon" * | wc -l

in the amarok 2.5 source tree?

But my Internet address is not here. It's in Joe's house, that's right next to mine. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Makelin's house, and a hundred others.

Can there be a more experienced and deeply wise plebiscite? of course not! The matter is therefore once and for all time resolved - erledigt. Gnome tre has won the Linux Journal Readers' Choice award! which awards exactly what you ask? hah! if you must ask that then you know nothing *nothing*. Gnome III thereby takes it over all comers in all categories for all time, better than OS/X Lion, better than Meryl Streep, better than sliced bread -- selah. now we can get on with our sad little lives concerning ourselves over lesser matters.

Fat cat CEO/boss/owner wants to maximize the profit margin; and doesn't want anyone to be doing anything that might be less than utterly devoted to that goal.
Fat cat CEO doesn't want to be troubled with the technical side of that goal, so established a proxy slave-driver: the IT department
Folks don't like proxy slave-driver.
surprise! ...?

next-up: Fat cat CEO doesn't like bothering to fire or hire people. why-oh-why do people fear/hate the HR department?

Perhaps someone else wondered (given that this is an article about microbiology) if the "plasmas" in the summary is of the 'blood plasma' sort or rather the ionized gas sort. You may save yourself a click: it's the latter; and its function is mostly to sterilize to sample space. Now as to the ease of subsequent sterile access to the bag, versus a dish with a lid, i leave that to the imagination of the gloved and harried lab tech.

(http://www.etymonline.com/ plasma 1712, "form, shape" (earlier plasm, 1620), from L.L. plasma, from Gk. plasma "something molded or created," from plassein "to mold," originally "to spread thin," from PIE *plath-yein, from base *pele- "flat, to spread" (see plane (1)). Sense of "liquid part of blood" is from 1845; that of "ionized gas" is 1928)

and in 1986 no less (back when "chalkboard" still had some meaning): http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/540/why-is-the-sound-of-fingernails-scraping-a-blackboard-so-annoying

PICARD: But even when we wore costumes like that we'd already started to make rapid progress.

Q: Oh yeah? You want to review your rapid progress?

Q: Rapid progress, to where humans learned to control their military with drugs.

Perhaps there's an escape via language lawyerism via "of its kind" but for decades there has been software to estimate the hydrophobicity of small molecules and (relying on even more approximations) proteins. Underlying that software are scores of "equations" that use tables of atomic and molecular fragment parameters of electronegativity and polarizability to calculate 'not bad' estimates of molecular hydrophobicity.

And while i'll quibble about "the first such equation"; i really think most folks should quibble over "defined an equation that measures", people armed with instruments "measure", equations 'calculate an estimate'. ok, now: hey you kids get off my lawn!
