Whoa, didn't know about Audio Midi Setup, I will look into it the next time it happens.

Thanks!

Thanks! that's exactly what I'm doing every day, I use headphones too and plug/unplug them very frequently. I also never shutdown the mac, I just put it to sleep by closing the lid.

I've been doing the same for years with the old MBP (regularly coming to 30 days uptime without any itch) and always considered this the best feature (bulletproof sleep) that keeps me from going back to linux.

PS Ironically enough, just after posting my first comment the mac freezed up again...

I've been recently (December) upgraded to a similar rMBP (2GHz i7, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD), coming from an early 2008 MBP 15" it really feels great, everything is incredible fast, almost instantaneous, but... I'm experiencing two VERY annoying problems with OSX Mavericks:

1) 2/3 times a week the whole system freezes up and I need to reboot

2) once a week the sound output stops working and I need to reboot

Googling around it seems I'm not the only one experiencing these issues, too bad I can't go back to OSX Leopard.

Just one thing: bring back the leopard exposè!

I installed snow leopard and reverted back to leopard just after 3 hours as I couldn't stand the new (non proportional) exposè.

Yes, I'm exposè addicted...

Everyone in the office has been playing a lot of Tetris – a Russian submission for the IBM PC. It’s a classic, like Breakout. But I don’t think Broderbund is going to publish it. The knaves.

I beat out Ed and Steve for the #1 spot on the Tetris high-score list.

Thanks for this link, great reading! my best friend had a pc and prince of persia (and karateka) when we were young, great memories...

Nothing is wrong!

As you said there is probably more overlap with django than with twisted, tornado is a full fledged framework that happens to a have (thanks god) a new async web server, and I really like the self contained nature of tornado (and the no twisted dependency), if you do want twisted there are orbited/cometd already!

All this situation is getting pretty silly IMHO, opensource is about freedom to choice, they evaluated twisted and decided it was not the right path, everyone should accept this and get along. Before twisted there was async, before django there was zope, before python there was another language, before git there was svn, before svn there was cvs and so on... that's how opensource works, competition is the path to better things and I LOVE THIS!

"Bazaar tries to be simple, but they currently have so many different repository formats and supported workflows that everything is a mess."

Quoted.

That's the #1 reason I've switched to mercurial two years ago: a simple model that perfectly fits into my mind.

I realized something was wrong with bzr when I created a mindmap to understand its model and its commands... and that was two years ago, I don't even want to try and imagine how that mindmap would look today.
