Bought it on impulse because I love the aesthetics of it (both sound and imagery).

I think this comes down to personal preference. I am on a 24 inch screen with 1080 lines and I still prefer reading text in OS X to Windows on it. On my shabby laptop, not so much.

I know ben0x539 can speak for himself, but you seem to accuse him of some form of rabid fundamentalism in order to get a half-baked point across. He didn't make any demands, he just voiced an opinion, which is totally fine, and your attempt

The first two points (waking up early, exercising daily) make me happy, too. Compared to not doing those things, the difference is enormous. I would have thrown 'eating clean' in there as well. The other points I agree with, too. But in my

A lot of things "work" with women. But creeps act like they do because they're horny losers, not because they're having so much success with it. Anyway, the whole alpha male debate is besides the point. Also, I think you're confusing aggres

I used to be really into mechanical keyboards, but have since developed a preference for low profile scissor switch keyboards after using them at work. I think the perfect keyboard for me would be a low profile, high quality scissor-switch

Let it go man. The distinction makes sense for a lot of people and you're just being a stickler and a contrarian at this point.

I don't think the OP meant it that way. To me part of being a grown up includes the ability to act with reason and tact under great distress. I've managed to do this once in my life when I was attacked by a good friend in a very harsh way b

As someone who has never taken LSD and is curious about the experience I have a question: Have you personally ever taken LSD and actually suffered flashbacks? If yes, how bad were they? This is a very personal question, so of course feel fr

There's a variant of this riddle where the solution is using a big brush and painting over the dots in one stroke. I think all of these solutions are interesting and creative.

Indeed. Everyone being brilliant would of course foster diversity, as well as overall cultural capital. I might be wrong, but it seems obvious to me. To me the original quote seems to spring from an elitist mindset and akin to saying there'

This. And flakey drivers. I think this is a big step for Linux on the Desktop. I look forward to the day I can ditch OS X and Windows and replace it with a Unix that has a nice UI, stability, and is open.

I think our tastes are very much alike. I feel what you're saying about the oppressiveness, and I wouldn't want to live in Vienna for the rest of my life either. I just think it's a bit much to call the city of Vienna horrid, especially whe

I agree with everything you wrote. I recently moved back to Mattersburg because my dad passed away and I took over the house. And I really enjoy living in the open again. But the things you describe are something that many big cities have i

I'm European and I am certain that this is wrong, unethical, and bad for society as a whole. I'm not surprised that "death from overwork" is an isolated cause of death and has its own term in Japan (Karōshi). As an employee in Japan I would

Agree with mobthink and Austro-fascism. I would add lack of enthusiasm and closed-mindedness. Don't know what your problem with the city is, though. Even after having lived in Vienna for more than a year I'm still stunned how beautiful it i

In Austria we get 14 Salaries per year. We pay less tax on the 13th and 14th one. I got my 13th just now for July and will get my 14th in December. We have 25 days of paid vacation. You can work while at home or on vacation, but your co-wor

AFAIK there is no way in Windows to control hinting, which in my opinion is the thing that makes Windows' font-rendering unbearable, especially on displays with a high PPI count. There's hacks out there, but they're exactly that: hacks. And

I doubt this quote is to be taken literally. I rather think he means that good chess players are very, very good at deciding which moves to think deeper about based on intuition, hence reducing the need to visualize. He's being witty, is al

I don’t think the majority of people here condone piracy. It’s the practice of criminalizing people who don’t acquire stuff legally because they either can’t (e.g. the content not being available in their country) or won’t (because the dist

While I didn’t like Jeff Atwood’s post, I didn’t take the title literally. To me it seems obvious that it can also be read as "Please don't >learn to code<", meaning that we (people who understand and write code) might be wrong in a

You seem to be a bit disconnected from reality. If I told any one of my friends who are not programmers by trade to look for code samples, they would either not understand what I'm talking about, or simply not know where to look. Most peopl

The guidelines on what to submit on HN are open to interpretation. I posted this in the hopes that other HN members might find it interesting, since it might lead to a better insight into the broad effects of war on society. Frankly, I didn

Okay, I agree. Although I think this has a lot more weight when you talk exclusively about laptops, with which I indeed have had so many problems in the past that I would recommend a MacBook to any fellow musician asking me for advice, espe

How is Mac a better plattform for audio? This is not a rhetorical question. I keep hearing this, and some say it's because of CoreAudio. But so far I haven't been able to find a thorough explanation that's not based on biased assumptions. T

I just stopped using the monitor after half an hour of using OS X on it and gave it to my roommate, since I'm hardly ever home anyway. Now it's back on my desk again. It bugs me that I thought I needed a better screen instead of instantly s

Graphic design: not many. Just little things, like the great desktop zoom, the nifty screenshot shortcuts, simple access to special characters. Nothing that Windows couldn't do without some modifications, just maybe not as nicely. Also, I s

I use Reaper by Cockos. I make rock music. I have previously used Cubase and Sonar. Regarding ASIO vs. CoreAudio performance: http://www.dawbench.com/win7-v-osx-1.htm There are a few freeware plug-ins I use that are Windows only. If I cou
