Yanny vs Laurel [^]

Definitely Laurel ... I can't imagine how is it possible to hear something else ...
|

Oh that explain the Laurel / Yanny thing I been hearing about. At the pitch of the original I hear Laurel as the pitch increases Yanny, I have more pronounced low end hearing.

Sounds to me like "Bacon, bacon, bacon"

It's "brain needle".
(You'll understand the above, eventually.)
(And it is actually "laurel", said by an opera singer for the website.)

I assume you meant to write "green storm"?

That's a bit weird. The first time it played I heard "Yorel", now I can "pick" which one I want to hear. That's confusing - it's two sounds at the same time for me.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Exactly. Also, it's annoying.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

Yes - especially as the "yanny" sounds rather like someone overclocked Stephen Hawking.

There is an annoying comedy movie in India. Yanny sounds like a dumb(literally) character from the same movie. Arghh.

Oh no - not here, too.
You should at least have posted that to the SoapBox.

The real question is, what do you hear when you play it backwards?

How can they call it Windows...
When it is such an opaque mess?
... such stuff as dreams are made on

No it isnt. It is a very good OS actually.

Agreed, and the market seems to think the same.
How big is the current market for OS2/warp?

Indeed.
By the way, how was the underwater chicken?

Still not gotten all the ingredients; but it should be for sale in Germany, so will be checking there soon. Looking forward to some weird looks when cooking it and placing a bowl of water on top instead of a lid

The key ingredient is the fresh kaffir lime leaves.
Dont use too many though, can be overpowering.

Good to be warned, and looking forward to it

Must... not... ACTIVATE FLASHBACK. WARNING: Old fart war story ahead.
A far time ago, in a galaxy long, long away...
I developed an OS/2 device driver for a piece of custom hardware in one of our products. Over four years of feature-metastasis and much refactoring(*) later, it was 18,000+ lines of assembly language. This piece of hardware controlled the signals we use to measure position in our commercial inkjet printing systems[^]. Debugging this driver often involved unrolling hundreds of feet of paper down the manufacturing area aisle and crawling on hands and knees from one end to the other, verifying that things printed properly.
Fortunately I now do the UI's on our products, and can work in an upright and locked position most of the time.
(*) Yes Virginia, you can refactor assembly language code. It's just like juggling razor blades, only messier.

Microsoft may be the software company everybody loves to hate, but most of the PCs in the world run their O/S. If it were that terrible, it never would have become the success it is.
In the '80s and early '90s, there were a few competing O/Ses out there. I particularly liked OS/2 3.0 aka Warp; it was rock-stable, and really did run DOS/16-bit Windows software better than DOS/Windows. It even ran some 32-bit Windows software via Win32s. Unfortunately, it failed in the marketplace.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
