  • How about Music players, Sequencers, studio, DJ, Drum machines, Guitar software amps, software radios…

    The fact that you simply ignored music players disqualifies your list. Also considering that Arch’s AUR, for example has over 90.000 packages, the idea of one person compiling a useful general “best of” list is deluded and doomed from the start.

    I don’t write this acrimoniously, I simply state the fact that unless you enlist help (and a lot at that) your endeavor is useless.


  • The problem with the whole system is that if there was no payment for plasma, there wouldn’t be nearly enough people donating plasma for the need that there is.

    In the contry I live in you cannot be paid for anything from your body for a medical purpose; blood, plasma, marrow, organs, whatever. Everybody gets those free if needed.

    Then again, its one of the countries with the highest transplant rates in the world per capita, so donating to savw others is deeply ingrained in society.

    If I remember correctly, Homo sapiens sapiens was not only coetaneous with Mammoths, but we are widely considered to be one, if not the main cause of their extintion.

    Also constructions like Gobekli tepe, with it’s carvings and decorations, predate the extintion of Mammoths by something like 6000 years.






  • The problem is that generally people who have several drinks lose their common sense, and you can’t determine who will drink more and who will stop.

    My father was an airline pilot, and often recounted stories of passengers who would become unruly and create safety concerns. He often used the expression “There are no road shoulders in the sky”, meaning that if there are problems you can’t simply pull over.

    Also, most everybody who is drinking at an airport bar is boarding a flight, so if the drinker is drinking too much, they are going to bring the consequences of that over drinking on board.
