"MIDI synth" could be a piece of hardware controlled by a MIDI stream from the computer, or (increasingly likely) a piece of software. It's "something that converts MIDI control messages to sound".
If I imagine a noise and manipulate the controls of Rosegarden expertly, will I get the noise that I'm looking for?
To be able to do that, you'll probably want something like a modular softsynth. For Linux, there's ams. That combined with a virtual keyboard like vkeybd is enough (given the "expert manipulation" part). Something like Rosegarden could then act as the "player" of the synth (which is like the "instrument").
If you really want to get down to the bits and bytes, there's pd.
The easy road to all this is to install the AGNULA Linux disribution, which comes with a shitload of software.
Unless you lock your kid in the basement, he's going to be raised, whether you like it or not, by plenty of other people.
But mainly you. You have to teach him to handle other influences appropriately; that's in fact your main job once the pooping/feeding part is self-sustaining. YOU have to equip him with the tools to differentiate right from wrong, reality from fantasy, exciting electronic offers from spam, etc.
Anybody who has the ability to actually do anything with the source code will easily find it. Keep in mind only 1% or less of the user base is interested in the source (as would be expected).
In fact, the main Firefox page has a prominent "Developers" tab, which has clear links to the source as well as documentation. I wouldn't mind if they'd stick the words "open source" somewhere on the main page just to get that term out there, but I don't think it's a big deal. Every article I've read about Firefox uses the term somewhere.
Not to mention this is most likely wrong . . . I haven't used this Output Stacker, but I can't imagine that it's passing through the sound card in any way. I'm guessing it just decodes the file, then records WAV audio straight to disk. If this is then burned to a CD (NOT re-encoded into MP3 or something), the resulting song will sound identical to the original from Napster.
This is not an example of the "analog hole problem".
Apart from the web, almost all of the written word in existence is in black on white. It's easiest on the eyes.
If you really must be different for the sake of being different, please try to stick with extremely high-contrast colors (like black on off-white, or white on black).
This can never be stressed enough. People generally respond to this with "I don't know how to read code", "I don't have time to read code", etc. but a large company will certainly have the resources to handle this, and will ultimately get better and faster support from said in-house resources than they ever would from a vendor.
Problem is, that 4% is completely made up. No one knows how many, if any, of the pirated DVDs floating around would actually have been purchased at full-price if the pirated version were not available.
This doesn't make any sense at all; I assume you don't know what "completion" refers to. This is where instead of typing:
cd/longdirectoryname/longerdirectoryname
you just type
cd/l[tab]/l[tab]
It's brilliant, and saves many keystrokes. The only way it could possibly be a pain is if you use many actual tab characters in your commands, which is extremely unlikely. If you don't like it for some arcane reason, just don't press the tab key.
Indeed. This will just accomplish nothing to solve their problem, and will just create more problems similar to mine:
I can't play discs 3 and 4 (the appendices) of the Two Towers Extended Release on my standards-compliant Zenith DVD player, because of a botched copy-protection attempt by the manufacturer.
If this problem keeps getting worse, the number of movies I buy will continue its asymtotic approach of zero.
That's funny, because IBM actually does drive a lot of the innovation, and definitely performs a lot of the work, in IT. "We intend to sell dog food on the Internet" is a much better bullshit signal.

I'd like to hear your ideas on why polluting the commons with garbage for personal gain is an ethical act.
If they believe it changed their lives, then it was effective as a self-help book, yes? The whole field is subjective.
I'm sure there are brilliant abacus techniques, but that's a software problem, not a hardware limitation.
Now that was a prime rib!
AGNULA is a Linux distribution preconfigured for audio, with everything you mentioned plus a lot more ready to go.

There have been lots of exciting developments in OSS music software in the past year or two.
Like Peter Cooper!

Design flaws are bugs too.

I'll be happy to start charging you for the air you breathe as well. Trust me, my air is better than that prole shit you get for free.
Give me a call when OS X is free and runs on commodity hardware. Until then, it's useless to me.

But it's usually illegal. The copyrights to that program are still owned by somebody somewhere, collecting dust and mold.

No, but any suppression of scientific findings is always bad.
You fail at imagination. The OP never said anything about using some existing solution with 8k blocks. Neither did he say it wouldn't be encrypted.

It's only misleading if you choose not to understand it. The term is actually quite clear and well-defined.
