    Ah! You're saying eggs (as a general thing, as opposed to chicken-eggs) existed LONG before chickens, so true, so true.

Question: Have you considered that you may have been a direct influence on Thomas Pynchon's Bleeding Edge? One of the creators of DeepArcher is named Justin. It's hard to imagine that Pynchon wouldn't have been aware of WASTE? Perhaps the influence is mutual?

    A little bit, but at the moment minimalist C++ seems to be the best overall compromise, especially because most projects don't exist in a vacuum.

Question: You're an amazing programmer. Been following you since the early WinAmp days. Downloaded Waste on release day. I see here you've previously somewhat against it though your thoughts may have changed over time. I think you'd be an incredible addition to the bitcoin community.

Reply on May 23 2015, 9:25pm:
    In your question: chicken
    In the dictionary: chicken
    In a French dictionary: egg.

    Side note (read aloud): Why do the French eat one egg for breakfast? Because one egg is un oeuf.

Question: Is it possible to somehow sync PlayTrackPreview2Ex() to tempo map at current time in project (noticed MIDI takes previewed with the function don't obey the tempo map). I'm using it like this: bit.ly/1FgC7IN Thanks!
Asked by Martin (78.1.135.x) on May 17 2015, 2:28am
Reply on May 22 2015, 4:02pm:
    Hmm the problem is that "current time in project" is a bit vague... there is probably a way to play it as if it started at a particular time, but the details escape me...

Question: So, does it mean I will send you a plugin license and you will send me Reaper key or it's real to do it with someone other? Thank you. I'm from Belarus.
Asked by Andy (212.87.13.x) on May 13 2015, 7:05pm
Reply on May 14 2015, 4:35pm:
    No, it would have to be with a third party who wants to do the trade. For me, a plug-in license has little value...

Question: Justin, I have no ability to use PayPal. I have a license on VSTi, which costs as much as Reaper. Can I exchange with someone? I mean I will give someone this license and that man will buy the Reaper license from my name for me?

    You could potentially, REAPER licenses are one-time-transferable by us. Or you could find another way to pay, depending on what country you are in...

Question: You still running Quickbooks 2007 on an XP VM? I found out today you can run older versions on 8.1 64bit if you set the QB PDF Converter printer ports to the NIL port. Keeps it from hanging on reconciliation / PDF creation. Was wondering if that's why you were running it on XP.
Asked by Will (70.173.145.x) on May 13 2015, 12:18am
Reply on May 13 2015, 3:09pm:
    Yeah, but mostly so that the installation is portable (I can fire up the VM on whatever machine I need it on).

Question: How do you feel about dropping PPC support for Reaper? It's becoming a liability rather than an useful thing, don't you think?
Asked by Mario (141.136.181.x) on May 12 2015, 7:33pm
Reply on May 13 2015, 3:09pm:
    Yeah, only one person has complained in the 6 months (?) since we dropped it. It does simplify things. Though we still build PPC binaries for bridging purposes, at least for another year or two.

Question: Does this make sense: bit.ly/1I1eQxY ? What do you think, would it make a difference? Or some other trick could be employed?

    I suppose, however Lua is in many ways cleaner to use for REAPER's purposes anyway...
