Agree wholeheartedly on all points. Plus I wish their player was better, but I can work around that through aax2mp3 and use my preferred player.

I only know of one, and she's an expert at everything related to fiber channel and tape drives. So I guess it might be that US conservatives are ideologically opposed to cheap long term offline storage.

I for one would like to recommend Bitwig - I like that better than Ardour.

Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

After getting hooked on Metal Gear: Solid, without owning a Playstation, Bleem helped me get by.

I'm in the process of buying a new (to me), as my mid 90's volvo simply isn't big enough for the entire household (runs great though!).

And after looking at various cars, their prices, and the market in general, I have to seriously question how worth it a factory-fresh car is. A couple of years, and you get the same car for half the price.

Sure, there might be hidden faults, but with a reputable dealer this shouldn't be a problem: One of my local dealers sell used cars with warranty as if it was new.

In general yes, but in this particular case I think it's just about high enough.

Millimooch has such a nice ring to it

 

OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.

I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.

For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.

The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.

So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
