  1. Re:Hyperbolic FP on In Praise of Procrastination · · Score: 3, Informative

    If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. -- Thomas De Quicey

    As I mentioned above - gnome volume control and applet and gnome sound theme settings.

    Yeah, by getting rid of PA you make several crucial features disappear unless you make some extra (IMO unnecessary) effort.

    Well, PA still stutters on my Lucid. Sound system (fresh alsa or otherwise) is similarly dysfunctional in Maverick on my system (ALC268). Tried everything. The kinks still exist. Too bad I can't get PA smoke weed or the stutter would go away.

    I have a feeling this is going to be the same SNAFU.
    And why does Ubuntu NOT support alsa environment (panel volume applet, system sound theme config etc.)?
    This is fucking stupid.
    I'm going back to Slackware. Or Gentoo.

    No, T3 was a well written, coherent story with interesting issues (the T1 terminators, AI evolution, the Terminator's software being tampered with with resulting RSoD and hard reboot), great symbolic scenes (the graveyard fight with the coffin, the barehanded fight of two demigods) and a moral.

    T4 sucked ass.

    people don't like software that changes every time you try to use it

    Actually that was the exact reason I quit using MS's sorry lame attempts at software never even reaching the XP stage. Their products kept changing with next to none backward compatibility, bloating out of proportions and with actually no real improvement. Every new release required getting used to new "improved" (they called it that to make it sell, but I never really benefited from the changes) way of doing old things. GNU software on the other hand has been steadily improving on the ease of use and stability with great backward compatibility.
