Huh? I never stated that Pulseaudio isn't necessary.

I just pointed out a possible solution/workaround with ALSA and dmix for redirecting the audio output to two devices/pcm outputs.

After years of using just ALSA and messing around with its config on different computers I am now using Pulseaudio too. Once it's running it's a lot easier to use and more flexible, especially when it comes to hot-plugging and switching between inputs and outputs.

I never had a laptop where plugging in headphones didn't disable the speaker (and nothing I could do about that in software).

If that really is the case you could use dmix and have audio played on both the headphone and speaker output. You would still have to mute the speakers when plugging in the headphones though.

Yeah I found the animation distracting since it is so slow and keeps sliding in every time you scroll over it.

I'm used to sites having transitions or animations as you scroll, but usually that's only happening once.

A terminal emulator is not a shell. Using bash has nothing to do with the decision whether you use the OS X Terminal or some third party terminal emulator.

Game physics engines update their objects (acceleration, collision, constraints/joints etc) only so often at a certain tick rate to leave enough cpu time for other things. You can have very precise and realistic physics simulations already - they just don't run at realtime.

I don't think this is a solution for bad physics in games.

Would be nice if there were a couple of example bots that you could try talking to/see some info about before creating an account.

Imgur has its own community. By now you can't even tell if something is posted on imgur and someone submits it on reddit or if a reddit user uploads something and it gets upvotes on imgur.

I think that imgur can exist on its own and will have more than enough content.

Older IEs don't have Array.indexOf(). So you either have to extend the Array prototype or, you know, just implement it in a more compatible way.

How would they run *nix binaries in a node.js environment if they call it "Cross-platform Linux without the suck"? You are talking about Cygwin here which is what these guys hate for some reason.
