jrwrenerr, no. 15.6" display you said.  WTF?!?!  they put optical drives in laptops still?13:59
brouschYes. It is a useful and wonderful thing14:08
brouschIt's a portable computer that does everything I need it to in the way i want it to14:09
jrwrenyou still use optical?14:09
brouschI have a wall of CDs and DVDs14:09

brouschI burn CDs occasionally too14:09

cmaloneyYou'll thank yourself later.14:15
brouschjrwren: In truth, I don't care about either. I'm almost always plugged in and never skype/video hangout14:34
brouschWait, FLAC is bad now?14:34
jrwrenno, flac is good.14:35
jrwrenhe meant rip, not R.I.P.14:35
wolfgerFLAC was ever not bad? ;-)14:35
* wolfger just opposes FLAC on principle.... Between mp3 and ogg I need nothing else. Even if Ogg is pretty much dead.14:36
brouschOh, hah, yeah, I rip to FLAC14:38
rick_h_hmm, this is interesting. I can't help but wonder if this is in response go google's hub http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/21/smartthings-support-is-coming-to-amazon-echo14:38
cmaloneyyes14:39
jrwrenwolfger: what principle? do you prefer shorten? :)14:44
cmaloneyI oppose mp3 on principle. I like CD-quality sound. :)14:45
jrwrencmaloney: yeah!14:45
cmaloneyheadroom FTW.14:45
cmaloneyThat's why I get really annoyed with folks who say CDs are terrible for sound reproduction14:46
jrwrencmaloney: although, lame v0 is nearly indistinguishable. I say nearly, becuase for most folks it IS indistinguishable. Only on nicer gear can I tell the difference.14:46
cmaloneythey're awesome for sound reproduction; but they reproduce precisely what is encoded on them14:46
jrwrencmaloney: ignore the vinyl nuts14:46
cmaloneyjrwren: True. I'm just taking a principled approach to being a bigot. ;)14:46
rick_h_hah, two years too late https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/ "largely compatible with the model used by Chrome and Opera—to make it easier to develop extensions across multiple browsers."14:47
