When Siri starts that or, better yet, chimes in with her confusion when I wasn't even asking anything, I sometimes say things to her like,
"Frizzle zap unga freeblitz boing bong….GO"
I bet Wolfram Alpha has a lot of scary things said to or asked of Siri in a dark room somewhere.

@matigo Yes, Siri. Please do Google that. I'm dying to see how another layer of technology mangles it. Oh, see if Cortana will ask Bing the same question.

@larand Linux DOES have a really good sound solution called JACK Audio.
And I should really stop blabbing about Linux audio.
@larand Oh, and ALSA stands for Advance Linux Sound Architecture.
I always thought Another Linux Sound Abomination was more fitting.
Actually, it wasn't too bad. Most of what killed sound by that point was all of the compatibility layers and wrappers that had built up over time.
@matigo I'm not sure they even know how people who live by keypads use them.
Watch a good CPA use one. It is off to the side. He/She will not even be looking at it. His /her fingers will be moving so fast you cannot see them.
This cannot be done on a laptop keyboard. It simply cannot.

@matigo Looks like they could have done away with the keyboard wonkiness (I can see from the pic that the layout is funky) by eliminating the number pad. I prefer those to be external on a laptop anyway.

@larand ..And I omitted ALSA in my brief history of Linux sound :/
It was sniffles with a slight cough.
I had a lot of experience fighting Linux and sound since I used to stream to a Internet radio station with Linux. Did the occasional blues set and sometimes rambled. Sidekick used to do an entire show of her own. Good times. Wrote a QT/KDE front-end to the darkice encoder that allowed music to stream from a variety of sources and be faded in and out with the microphone input.
