Yabridge does a great job for most popular plugins. The DAW itself is a different story, but I got annoyed with the standard ones way back when Apple bought out Logic from Emagic (and immediately claimed it was too much work to keep up with the windows version). Used macs for a few years to keep using Logic (up to v9 maybe? Maybe 10?) but started getting used to Ardour instead. Has massive rough edges but covers most of my measly usage now so I've stuck with it. A commercially supported "fork" of it by Harrison (MixBus) is also available if you want a commercially supported one with awesome inline EQs etc.

Comment Always Innovative (Score 1) 35

Always have had a soft spot for KDE/plasma etc. I'm one of those weirdos that actually likes Gnome, though I've moved on to a tiling wm lately. But I used KDE back in its very early (1.x) versions and it always felt like I was running something from the future. The early 3.x releases were buggy as hell so I tried Gnome and stuck with it, but regularly would jump back over to play around. Glad to see it still going strong and still innovating!

windows 2000 was supposed to be what we look back at xp as being, but didn't sell as well as expected. thus winme was thrown in to fill in the gap while the nt-based consumer/enterprise combined os was redone and became xp.

the main issue with 2000 was hardware support. by the time xp came out the driver list for 2000 had increased (much like vista->win7 but in terms of outright support rather than stability)

the logic falls down, however, when you note that something that cannot change cannot create. to create implies action and action implies changing of state.

if 'god' cannot change (by your logic) then he/she/it cannot have created the universe, which brings the same problems as 2 and 3.

This is as good an argument against god as it is against the big bang.

Couldn't have said it better. The number of people i've heard say 'but it makes no sense that the universe just appeared' but are happy to just accept that some god presence can do exactly the same thing they just dismissed as nonsense astounds me.

To me it is the equivalent of answering 'but how does....' with 'magic'.

Comment /usr/lib/kde4 (Score 1) 274

not sure if it is just the debian/ubuntu 64 bit package but it failed to install with an error that /usr/lib/kde4 was not found. as i'm not running it, it was not surprising it was missing, but i had to create the directory for the package to install properly. obviously this can be worked around by manually extracting the tar and working from that, but i prefer using the deb packages.

hope this helps someone.
