Question: Justin, you may not think it, but answering "I have no idea" is actually very helpful. Because if you don't know then holy sh**. It's good to know whether the answer is obvious or not, it's a big relief to know it isn't! Here's the end result of this ordeal: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1476191&postcount=19.... As for the question: You like?

    They purchase licenses, which entitles them to use the software that we've already provided them to evaluate. Why is this so hard to understand?

Question: Re: I guess that stuff comes with the territory and kudos to all of the Cockos staff for having to deal with it. I hope we don't push you into reducing your public exposure with all of the critiques as I'm sure none of us mean anything bad, we're just worried our favorite DAW doesn't stray too much :) I hope none of you take it too seriously?

Question: Adding to Poofox: it does seem R is getting more and more nitpicked and number of small but irritating bugs seems to be increasing. We can't possibly know how you work, but maybe R is indeed getting big enough to hire more devs?

Question: Ever considered hiring some grunts to churn out some of the more nitpicky or tedious requests your customers continuously beg you to implement? Or are there other ways you try to balance your Reaper vision with that of the community? I'm sure you are aware that this is one of the main criticisms of the dev team, so is there any sense of obligation toward p

    People will always nitpick about stuff no matter how much nitpicking you address. Also those requests aren't always just about tedious work, they often have effects on overall quality/design/maintainability.

Question: How much average annual mileage you do on bike?
Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 4 2015, 3:03pm
Reply on February 4 2015, 5:44pm:
    Not that much -- last year about 1300 miles of purely recreational rides, not including most of the transportation around the city (which probably is a few hundred more miles). In comparison, I ran about 675 miles last year, heh.

    Favorite places to ride, hmm. Probably that ride you linked to, or better yet going across the GWB to the Henry Hudson Drive route along the river. That road in there is super nice. Prospect Park is also usually pretty good, but I'd avoid Central Park unless you go in bad weather or early mornings.

    I have two bikes -- a Salsa Casseroll single speed with 32mm tires, and fenders, which I use for going places (I lock it up outside when I do) as well as for bad-weather rides. The other bike is a plasticy Trek Domane which I'll use for purely recreational rides in nicer weather.

Question: JF, I sent an inquiry to the cockos licensing email address a few weeks ago, but no reply. Is that an active address?

    Yes, it's active. If you aren't getting a reply, your request is probably considered relatively non-interesting or spammy.

Question: Hi Justin, how do you deal with self-inflicted ignorance, (mental) laziness or plain stupidity in virtual or real life? Not happened often, but sometimes its pretty hard to restrain myself. Thinking about buying a punchbag :)

    (original link) Each version is subtracted from the scene with me absent, then the results are all summed on top of the background. It is far from perfect, to do better one would chromakey, or manually define the regions (since I rarely overlap)...
