For military quotes with far reaching significance I tend to prefer
“No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.”

[Mitch Ives] “Not to put too fine a point on things, but what the hell do a couple of Dr’s know about war?”
Not to put too fine a point on things, but what does it matter who makes an observation so long as it’s true?

[Bill Davis] “Yes, because words should never CHANGE or adapt, dammit.”
Language evolving naturally and a single company redefining language are not the same thing.

[Tim Wilson] “FCPZ was one of least Apple-y monstrosities ever unleashed on the faithful.”
Actually I’d give that award to Itunes. Which is still a monstrosity, but I’m guessing blowing it up and designing it from scratch might actually cost them some serious coin. Better to do that with Pro Apps.

[Andy Edwards] ” I’d be interested in knowing what issues you have been going through with the card.”
No OSX splash screen on start up. I have a dual screen setup and sometimes after booting only 1 screen is being recognized. Sometimes upon booting the screens are reversed. I’m not sure if Adobe is able to utilize the Cuda driver, I think it’s using Open GL,and is therefore not as fast as it could be. (There was a reason I thought this, but I no longer remember what led me to believe it.)

[Shane Ross] “or cheaper K4000”
Actually the K4000 on the Mac is a PITA. There was a Mac version of the Quadro 4000, but not so for the upgraded K4000. You can still run it, but CUDA is not always recognized and it’s more than a little buggy. If I weren’t stuck with my K4000 I’d get the GTX 780ti.

[Bill Davis] “The most recent company to take a stab at improving the actual PROCESS of video editing was Apple with X. A particular editor may not agree that it improved anything, but it’s crystal clear that it was that – the desire to IMPROVE things that was the driving force behind the X rebuild. To IMPROVE editing for editors.”
No, I believe it is quite clear from everything Apple has stated about the origins of X is that it was created to improve the editing experience for non-editors. The fact that it might improve things for some experienced editors as well was merely gravy.

[Charlie Austin] “But the “It’s iMovie Pro and it sucks” resistance (still!) to X from FP 7 users who do exactly what i do and it really makes no sense to me.”
That’s the “heard” mentality, and is the result of the way the rollout was handled. It’s the same reaction as you get to the Affordable Care Act – it sucks, it doesn’t work, it will raise prices – it doesn’t matter that this is demonstrably not true – public perception is a hard thing to change (When the legend becomes fact, print the legend) – which is why it’s so important to get it right the first time.

[Charlie Austin] ” but again… FCP 7 did not stop working, and in fact still works just fine in Yosemite. Maybe they could have more clearly communicated the timeline, but they didn’t kill the software.”
They killed all communication about the software. Who would have guessed that Legacy would still be running on Yosemite? How do you run a company that doesn’t know at what point their software can no longer work on upgraded OS. What if you need to add 10 seats for a new project – do you want to be running a company that bases it’s supply channel on Ebay? I worked with Legacy for 3 years after the EOL and I was pissed at Apple every day I turned on the computer. I’m working on Ppro now and no longer care that much at all.

“Deciding the spine is the process of editing” F. Bieberkopf -
[Charlie Austin] “I’ll give you that a 2 hour timeline, zoomed all the way out, would be easier to “read” with tracks than in X. But really, does that matter?”
A half-hour timeline zoomed all the way out is easier to read with tracks than without and that matters to me because that’s what I’m working with, day to day. Because it matters to me doesn’t mean I am right, it simply means that X is not right for me. I think we have gotten to the point where we can all agree that X is a fully qualified professional editor with unique attributes, whose design suits some editors work habits to a T, and runs totally against the grain for other editors. Visual timeline organization is neither right nor wrong, it does however suit some editors more than others. My guess is that every editor in this forum could cut their next project on either X, Avid, or Ppro with sufficient training. I am also guessing that their reactions to the various NLe’s would be as polarized as the US congress.
