Ya know, these linux trolls in rec.audio.pro have been annoying, and
now we have one posing as Mike Rivers, linux recording studio advocate.

Its because of these trolls I wouldn't go near linux, no matter what.

Get a life. And know this- the rec.audio .pro regulars are really sick
of you losers.

Actually, it's only one troll. With a dozen different names, but still
just one guy.

Actually, it appears that the troll is anti-linux and is trying to
discredit the linux community. But that could be wrong.

I'm not. You'll notice all the flatfish postings have been through google.
I just set the killfile to drop anything with google at the end of the path.
Voila! No more flatfish.

If you would be a rec.audio.pro regular, you would know better than to
call Mike names.

Well shoot Scott, not everyone posting through google is a troll.

Doesn't Mike Rivers (the real Mr Rivers) post through Google ?

For my part Google is simply a convenient tool, but I agree,
most trolls are from Google _and_ gmail or similar free mail
accounts.

There may be some logic there but does that mean MOST posts from Google
are trolls? Or just that most trolls come from free accounts? I move
from PC to PC a lot so downloading everything is a huge pain so stuff
like Google and webmail are the only reasonable way for me to
communicate.

I agree; tired of wasted bandwidth on religious wars involving OS
choice, platform choice, religion (other than the Church of the Divine
Backbeat, BBQ and spirits), etc. etc. ad naseum.

The sad thing is that Linux does indeed have potential in audio and music
synthesis. We build most our courses around the PlanetCCRMA environment because
our students can take it home with them free. (I'm probably going to pay for
saying that now...)

There seems to be a positive feedback loop running on many topics here. My
killfile is filling up.

Since I do not use Linux, does that make me a member of the "Microsoft
Community"? If so, shoot me now, use a really big gun.

Some might call that "outdated" (no new updates). I call it "stable"
(doesn't need any new updates).

But I really don't know anything about those LInux
distributions/distributors.

Hey - Sometimes i troll, sometimes I just use bait and cast ;-)

Oh! The embarassment! Talking about Google and right in this very
thread Google screws up, something that it does to me about once a
month. (do the search on me and see how many of my posts are repeated).


Sometimes when posting it comes up with a "Server Error - try again in
a few minutes" message. So I leave that one alone for a while (in this
case, perhaps half an hour) and try it again, and got the same error.
Checking back with the newsgroup, I confirmed that the message had
indeed not been posted. Figuring that this was a real error and not
just a delay, I tried again a while late and the post went throughr.
But what really happened was that each time I sent the message, it
apparently did everything but send it, and then did so much later.

This is a case of a clueless error message, not a clueless user.
Although after having had this happen maybe 3-4 times I should be
getting a clue that when I get a "Server Error" message, I should
ignore it and my post will eventually go through and get posted. I
shouldn't be so paranoid. Neither should you.

We're hiring a someone in part to facilitate updating of PlanetCCRMA.

I also see an awful lot of beta/alpha software and reading the buglist for
some of these things is terrifying!
Does most of this stuff actually work?


Most of it does work. We have a lot of composition activity using the current
versions. Of course, some of those composers used to work on a Foonly F4/Samson
box system, too.

What was the F-4?
I have used the F-8, which was actually kind of flaky because of the wire
wrapping, and was not as reliable as the 8e.

I know that at least one of the Decsystem-10 copies was made, and that it
was used for rendering in Tron. But I don't know if any more were made
and I know the one that gatech.edu looked at never got finished.

Until recently I didn't think any of the -10 clones had ever been completed.
But I had never head of the F-4.

The Foonly is not a /360
The Foonly is more like a -10
The Foonly is faster than lightning
Oh, I'll get my Foonly, but when?

Our F4 was emulating a PDP-10. I think I heard there were 2 made, but this was
really before my time at CCRMA. The wirewraping was a nightmare, but we had a
sysadmin who could find cut-throughs like Sherlock Holmes. I think we still
have his log book with the little pieces of wire he replaced and the exact
location from which each came. By the end, most of the I/O cabling was
suspended with rubber bands to relieve strain but it still ran.

When we retired the Samson box (it went to Musee de la Musique in Paris), the
poor F4 was sent out to recycling except for the core memory and a few other
parts we saved for our museum.
