You've got to be kidding right? After only 2 days of following slashdot, I realize that the vanilla Slashdot mentality is removed from reality. 90% of computer users don't even know what a kernel or source code is moron.
Sounds like you need to buy some real equipment. What types of effects do you use in VST? If you need realtime effects, you need to buy hardware that was designed for it. There really is no such thing as quality cheap effects in the professional music biz.
My opinions are not half baked. The issue is censorware in public schools and in public libraries, not in your home. The mere fact that such a bill is considered only confirms what I've said thusfar: people dont want their children viewing pornography #1) in places where they are not available to personally monitor them #2) on computers that are paid for by their tax dollars.
Dont get me wrong, I am not on a moral crusade and would never force my opinions on another man. You can let your children view what they want when they are at home. But I believe I take the majority stance in saying that I don't want children viewing inapproprite materials on computers that my tax dollars paid for. The majority of americans hold such an opinion.
Taxes come from the populace. I am pretty sure that if a national survey could be taken, censorware in public schools and libraries would pass with at least a 60%-70% approval rating. All you need is 60 mintes to show how detrimental pornography is to a child's mental and social development and the entire nation would quickly be drawn up in a moral crusade against pronography. The slashdot folks who liberally and militantly oppose censorware must realize that there is much more at stake than perhaps an adverse effect for researching students. With a simple authorization by a professor or some other administrator, a student could be given full unrestrained access for academic studies. Its not as if censorware would render the internet useless. It would simply be protecting our greatest national resource.

I am only indicating what literally dozens of sociologists and psychologists have confirmed.
