Comment on HOW-TO: Get better audio quality when ripping CDs in Rhythmbox 0.12.8 by rsheaves

Heh … so, here we are almost a year later and I must admit that ima realist’s comment is funnier now than it was back then. I missed a few jab opportunities:

* He states he has ONE good reason to use MP3, and then he provides FIVE. I presume the ONE good reason didn’t seem so good after he typed it (that MP3 players play MP3 files much the same way that CD players play CDs.) No shit, Edison.

* It took him longer to write a comment complaining about how I wasted his time than it would have taken him to click the next fecking search result.

* If you have a DVD player that plays MP3 files, what are the chances that it won’t play the CD you’re attempting to rip in the first place?

* I just can’t let go of the vision of this guy jogging around his neighborhood with a portable generator on his back, listening to MP3 files on his DVD player.

Comment on Ubuntu 10.10 Unity netbook interface: some initial thoughts by rsheaves

This is where I have to disagree about Gnome 3. I have been using it on Arch Linux since it was released in April, and I must say I like it. Maybe it’s better put that “it has grown on me.” Compared to Unity, it feels cleaner, is more responsive, and presents fewer distractions from the one task that actually demands my attention at any given point in time.

Can I just suggest that the only rational explanation for how horrible Unity and Gnome 3 are is that Microsoft or other terrified proprietary competitors have planted moles on the dev team to destroy this once awesome interface and cause the slow death and abandonment of Ubuntu. Nothing less could explain this unspeakably horrible trainwreck of an “upgrade” to such a previously awesome system. I am being completely serious here- nothing this unbelievably horrible has a benign origin- this is enemy action.

Thanks, Joe. The hit count on this post will probably double now. To like 12 or something.

Comment on HOW-TO: Install VirtualBox OSE Guest Additions in Debian Squeeze by rsheaves

Confirmed, thanks. (And ridiculously obvious when I think about it!) Of course, these days, installing Debian >= 6.0 into a VirtualBox VM results in the guest additions being automatically installed for you. Cheers!
