Even more of a reason then… but it’s not true, so it’s moot.

Gotcha.
I could totally believe Microsoft did some kind of stupid deal with LinkedIn.
6·18 days agoWho knows? Seals can also mimic human speech.
It was news to me. But then I haven’t used Windows more than trivially in years.
Gives me even less of a reason now.
Gen-X here. We had to figure out acoustic modems and we didn’t have internet, we had local BBSes.
We also had to figure out the C-64.

You don’t already?
Do you even want that IT job?
You’re fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs…
Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn’t mean it wasn’t good at typing!
With a bottle of green.
I really wish I could get this across to the FuckCars people in countries other than the U.S.
I just moved from Terre Haute, Indiana in the U.S. to Blackburn in England. The fact that virtually everything you need is within a half-hour walk, most of it much less, cannot be overstated. It’s just not like that in the U.S. Terre Haute has something like 40% the population of Blackburn and driving from one end of town to another, and the shops are spread out all over town, takes 45 minutes.
No, the most important element is that it is added after the fact. It is a *post-*production tool.
You can call that planted actors or audience participation. Which were things that were probably done long before him. But it’s not the same as a laugh track, which is a specific thing.
I think you’re being a bit pedantic. They didn’t understand that they had any utility.
Sorry, but since when does “sounds like/has the same effect” mean it’s the same thing? Is a recording of a trumpet played on a speaker next to an orchestra the same as a trumpeter in an orchestra even though the effect is the same?
Hiring people to laugh at your jokes is not a laugh track. Saying he invented the laugh track is just not true.
How exactly would you invent the laugh track if you didn’t understand the concept of recorded sound since it literally requires recorded sound?
This is like saying the Mayans came up with the car despite not understanding the wheel.
No, he didn’t do that either. He had no concept of the possibility of recorded sound. Don’t get your history information from YouTube videos.
No he didn’t, the laugh track requires recorded sound. He did not have that technology.
Hagrid was played by human actor Robbie Coltrane. You can tell because he looks and sounds exactly like Robbie Coltrane.
(The late Mr. Coltrane was apparently a dick… so I guess being cast in Cracker was apt.)
