Does 'steep learning curve' not mean the rate of learning (X: time and Y:knowledge) is high, thus a little effort outputs lots of knowledge?

It's nice the Applescript exists (although I was talking more about Windows) but again, it's very sad one has to use an Applescript to accomplish this, on Mac. I mean, a solution i…

That's a shitty excuse to reboot; sounds more like they didn't want to bother. If you do your job properly, errors can be handled. If you do your job properly, errors aren't simply…

3 squirrels and 1 microbe?

By folder watching, I mean: when I put a multimedia file in in a folder (which I've assigned to be 'watched'), iTunes updates the library. I'm very certain Windows has APIs for exa…

Or the lack of the most basic elements of a media library: folder watching. No, I don't want one folder, I want to watch any folder. Seriously, how fucking complicated is that to i…

Yeah, I did not foresee that; it's actually quite critical you use Facebook. Anything requiring the users to confirm they don't know the name of the other party slows the process q…

I've visited the website and I'm confused: are Facebook-less creatures unable to partake in the service? Wouldn't that be kind of weird?

I guess you could also reverse the idea: if someone is offended by every cultural difference, maybe one should refrain from... living in a multi-cultural world? What is "public con…

Indeed but really, how many encoders does one use? That is, it's not like there are dozens of them that are widely used. If there are only 2 or 3 (say, LAME, some Apple one and som…

Would it not be possible for you to rip with super standard settings thus making it pretty much like every other rip? I don't see how ripping could be so different if people use th…

Pretty much; the context where this employee would thrive would mean equally amazing employers. An incompatible employee-employer relationship can't be sustained, whoever's "fault"…

This thing that works really well doesn't.

Amazing. Now, let's all fantasize about bosses who don't suffer from personal insecurities, incompetence and fleeing responsibility that could deal with such an employee. These art…

Good old patronizing government. And paternalistic. "Now child, don't question father's drinking, gambling and violence problems, you wouldn't understand."

Also perseverance and luck.

>The straightway is not self-policing because the dangers are not as obvious. Maybe there are animals crossing, or some other thing that is not immediately obvious to a driver. I a…

There has to be an explanation for this besides utter incompetence.

Well, if the winding road is self-policing because of self-preservation, why isn't the straightway? Sure, people will go 80km/h, even 90km/h, but why not, it's basically highway co…

While people do suck at evaluating risk, so do the people who set up the speed limits. In my town, it's 50 km/h everywhere. Everywhere. Crazy tight winding path in residential area…
