Long time reader here but itâ(TM)s been years since I commented. Wanted to add my opinion to this one though. The biggest problems facing Apple today and many tech companies for that matter is the release of feature enhanced hardware and software without fully vetting them out through user testing and quality assurance.
I was an Apple user since OS X was released. It is by far one of the best desktop operating systems to be release from a UX and system foundation standpoint. But over the years it has become bloated and less stable.
From a hardware perspective Apple has lost its way. For many years they were releasing rock solid machines even if they were a little pricey. But in the past it was justified by the quality of craftsmanship.
Now we have products with keyboards that fail, lack of extensiblity and features that arenâ(TM)t useful and people didnâ(TM)t want (Touch Bar for instance). The âoetrash canâ Mac Pro was awful. The current Mac book pros are junk, and they havenâ(TM)t updated some of the other lines in ages.
I recently purchased a dell xps and it is equally poor quality. Iâ(TM)m of the opinion that manufactures today simply donâ(TM)t care about quality only about margin and volume.

It was two years a go when i was kicked out of my high school. Why? Well I was forced to goto a catholic school by my parents and was often ridiculed by the 'Jocks' for being a computer geek, and all sorts of highschool bantor. I told my parents about this and they refused to let me leave the school. So i took matters into my own hands, i lit up a smoke durring religion class told my teacher to fuck off and left... Never returning. That evening after my parents anger had calmed down we got a phone call from the principle of the school stating that I was a suspect of bombing the school the next day. What a stupid notion, i could of cared less about that school. So i was banned from school property, and to this day doors are locked after first bell and they have 3 security gaurds roming the place... all because i didnt want to goto school there. People are idiots.

Looks like we have yet another way to distribute the DeCSS source code

Does the PS2 support dolby 5.1ch surround sound. I was under the impression that it did not. Can someone fill me in if i'm mistaken.
