you saw there was a valuable nugget and did a great job shaping it.
You left enough of the rant to not totally offend the OP (hopefully)
I always prefer to take it half way on the first edit and hope someone else finishes it up - then it feels more like collaboration and not simply a radical re-write by one party
serious thumbs up to you for catching and saving that Q
Search in Spotlight for "Audio Midi Setup." It looks like this:
Clicking the little "+" sign in the bottom-left corner and clicking "Create Aggregate Device" will allow you to combine various inputs and outputs on your system into a single one.
I can't really put this into words adequately right now, my brain is REALLY fuzzy today, but:
I think some users are better as users, and thanks to the SE engine, they can still reap benefits.
bmike is one of them. He is a content expert, hands down. And I'd rather see him focus on that, then on mod duties. Considering that mods aren't supposed to take action on content, I'd rather he continue to do that, as a user.
It's a great aspect of SE that users can get recognized and privileges as he has (and really, he's less than 100 points from being the first AD trusted user... which means, everything?)
Trusted users are allowed to perform trusted actions, including:
Voting to delete answers with score of -1 or lower Voting to delete questions immediately after they are closed (even if they are new) Editing all tag wikis on the site
(P.S. @bmike If you're gunning for a ♦, feel free to tell me to shut up ;). Despite everything I've said, if you put in a nomination for yourself, I would vote for you in a heartbeat.)
I have noticed that the majority of large community wiki questions have rules for posting. However, they aren't standard rules. Can we establish some official rules for community wiki questions?
My set of rules would be something like this:
Check to see if there are duplicates in this post by ...
If @JasonSalaz and @bmike both want to run, and there are two spots, they're clearly the most qualified. But if there are three spots open or they aren't both running, I'd be quite interested in tossing my hat in the ring. Jason's been paying his dues for a long time, and contributing so much to the podcast, and bmike is, well, bmike.
I'm saying I'd vote for Jason or Mike ahead of myself, and encourage others to do so also, but I'd love the job, and think I could do it well.
and yes, @JasonSalaz, I share your impatience.
My about link is also gone from the top bar (but still in the footer)
A 20K user has almost all the rights but not the obligations of a ♦. I think that's about right. If bmike wanted to be bmike♦, I'd be wholly supportive, but unless that's what he's looking for, I wouldn't push for it, given that he's already our superstar, and a lot of the ♦ job is almost janitorial.
