Remove iPod European Volume Cap

bsodmike writes "This is a complete how-to for removing the EU Cap in the new iPods allowing 104dB bliss! Thanks to everyone @ #eucap including UnixMonkey, Keaner, Silvacow, m@rk et al." Some countries have an upper limit of 100dB for consumer devices, so the European version of the iPod is "crippled."

    Ah, because you were a fool when you were young you presume everyone else is, and therefore want to force them to live the way YOU think they should.

    You probably support taxation too, eh? (Didja know only %7 of the US Welfare budget is sent out in welfare checks?)

    The loudness of any system with external speakers is going to be based on the speakers.

    Your idea that we all should have to live based on what YOU think is safe is just like conservatives trying to legislate morality.

    Well, piss off. I'm not a number, I'm a free man, and I'm going to listen to my iPod with it cranked all the way up.

    And all your admonishments that hearing loss will result is exactoly as relevant as christians telling me I'll burn in hell. Frankly, they don't know morality and you don't know physics. (The larger the driver, the lower the volume for a given amount of current, duh.)

    Ah yes, socialism has enslaved everybody, therefore everybody must be futher enslaved by socialism!

    Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy! And it was modded 5 Insightful?

    How about this-- you let the Taxpayers keep their money nad pay for their own health care.

    IF you did that, then the poorest would actually get health care for a change!

    Most of the money that is claimed to be used to help people is stolen, wasted, or destroyed.

    That you want to force me to listen to only music you approve of-- excuse me, only music volumes (for now) you approve of-- just goes to show how ready you are to give up your individuality.

    Next you'll be telling us that even with our hobbled stereos, we shouldnt' be listening to rock and roll cause Taxpayers will have to pay for the hearing aids!

    I can't believe slashdotters are so anti-individualistic.
