Except that the lowest error handling/correction is to be done by an OS kernel instead, which should never fail...
In other words: The error handling should be handled and corrected by instructions that are in tghemselves error prone...
Solution? Seperate processor? Even higher power consumption.
Real solution: Back where we started: error correction and handling by the CPU itself.
So that's a catch-22, back to scare one, we are fscked situation.
The article was interesting, but as usual: zero insight, a lot of bla bla bla and no real world implementation purpose.

I have a working sound system with PulseAudio and you do not. All I did was google motherboard sound chip followed by pulseaudio and ended up buying the right motherboard and you did not. Doesn't make a difference.
BTW people that are getting pissed of because they didn't got it right make them look stupid. Laughing is a human reaction to seeing acts of stupidity:)

"Can you please point me to this hardware compatibility list that you checked when you were "doing your homework"." Make a list of motherboards. Google the sound chip. www.google.com/linux "soundchip_name pulseaudio". Positive results are positive. Negative results? Find a different motherboard. Jesus that was undoable...
"It is just a sound server that provides network transparency and better mixing capabilites as an additional layer on top of the kernel sound support." Yet PulseAudio requires all sort of features so you need to have a Pulseaudio fixed Alsa driver or else it will screw up:)
But hey you got the driver part correctly... not that it matters because almost no Alsa drivers that weren't fixed worked.
Fedora usually has bits that aren't even in the Linux kernel yet, man. Latest X.org drivers and all. Do you even know what Red Hat sponsors and what features land in the latest Fedora before they even enter any upstream mainline repository? There are bits in stable Fedora that aren't even downloadable on Gentoo...
Also: Fedora is pretty Venilla alround. All the work that they do is mostly, if not all, solely upsstream. It realy is the biggest R&D project in the Linux realm. GCC, Gnome, Linux, KDE...

So where in the ALSA and OSS config files can I enable multi-channel audio? Whaddaya mean I can't? Aaaah wait! Because before PulseAudio there was no multi-channel audio and audio routing aaaaaaaaah. I see...

Yeah keep hearing that... I never had a problem with PulseAudio since day with Fedora.
But then again I did my homework before buying my computer. You see, it turns out PulseAudio has a fallback mechanism for when there is no PulseAudio driver for your sound card and then reverses the routing to Alsa and OSS drivers.
Cool and all... but given the fact that most Alsa drivers are dirty hacks, problems survice, like stuttering audio and not hearing audio at all sometimes.
The exeption to this rule is Skype, which is a horribly dirty hack on Linux and there is a reason that some parts of it are now open sourced so that some people would fix their shit for them, which they didn't because Skype is proprietary and just plain ugly.

The game must at least cost 20 dollars... But if game cost 60 dollars, then 60 * 0,1 = 6$
For example... And you can always call that copyright holder "Hey I wanna sell more games by halving the price, wanne make a deal and give me the copyright for 50% too? Will result in more copies".
Are your guys so stupid, or am I so freaking smart?!
No... 2000 was set out to completely break away from Win98 and thus it was dubbed as business only (a lot of your precious old games will break!). Once everything was patched and newly created for 2000 too, it was time to release a consumer crap version of 2000 with internal bugfixes and other enhancements made over time.
ME was just a breach-the-gap to NT, code quick and cheap and recycle DOS/Windows and rush it out of the door. NT is proper tech, DOS/Win will do for now...
If you are... say EA... You have the full copyright. You made your game and it costed 50.000.000 dollars.
You go to Steam and retail. You keep retail going at the high prices as retail have this cost/copy thing going on. You also keep the prices high on retail so you can lure people to digital distribution as that costs you less on the long run.
Hype/advertising/game reviews decide how badly people want to buy your game, not the price. The price is the only thing that prevents customers from buying your product. Lowering it results in more likelyness to buy. You could also lower the price after two years but then your game might be too old for new gamers...
So cost = 50.000.000 Copyright control = yes If you sell your game for 60 dollars per copy then (50.000.000 / 60 =) 833.333 copies need to be sold to be cost-neurtal.
Why does it matter how much you price you game? There is no cost/copy, only investment in worthwile copyrighted material and distribution costs near to nothing. You just want to get as much copy_price - distribution_costs sells as possible. Who care how expensive it is? You just want to make more than 50.000.000 dollars from distribution someone a copy.
And if you are able to read you would know that when you half something and then sell MORE THAN THE DOUBLE amount of what you would normaly sell, you'd have more profit.
