<kiyoura> anyone actually gonna talk about C in here?
<Shahid> ok
<Shahid> you first
<Shahid> i'm trying to figure out ALSA and setting up full-duplex mode
<Shahid> it's annoying
<Polynomial> C is a great letter
<Polynomial> it's symmetrical in one way only
<Polynomial> both in capital and lowercase
<Polynomial> plus it's in a whole bunch of swear words
<Polynomial> like cunt, cock, dick, fuck, etc
<Polynomial> even etc has a C in it.
<Polynomial> it's so awesome, that it can take over for S sometimes too
