Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

In the context of the interview, the problem is that the r/w head in their hard drive design tipped over a bit on the surface and the designer was trying to prevent that from happening, to no avail. Instead, what they ultimately decided to do is _let_ the head tip over and add electronics to sufficiently correct for the resting tipped position.

I would say "_letting_ the problem exist and that's okay" eliminates a contradiction :P?

I want to have the Doug generator say this quote: "Remember, every corpse on Everest was once an extremely dedicated person."
