As we all probably have noticed, turning things on by default actually tends to make work more complicated for IT staff. Already now you have to do a number of little tweaks to have your computer run smoothly without all these annoying animated toys flying around.
Security is of course a different matter than these so called eye candy toys but I wish to have effective control over what is running in my computer and what isn't. For example there are performance-critical applications in which a workstation is running without a network connection. That's a far better protection against worms than any firewall, so I want to be able to switch all unnecessary software off from using the workstation's resources.
I just hope that the future developers will not forget about experienced users and support people while trying to meet the newbies' needs. Other than that, security's all good of course.
The strength of wikipedia lies in information about easily proved facts. Things get more complicated when we consider more controversial matters.
Each reader has the responsibility for criticism when using sources like wikipedia. Errors always get published, in free or non-free encyclopedias. Eventually they will hit somebody. The difference is that in wikipedia you can correct other people's mistakes, whether they are intentional or not.
In this particular case Seigenthaler is just making things worse by going public with the problem. After all, previous readers of the "fake" article should know that practically all available information about the Kennedy murders is just speculation. Now he's making the "fake" story known to many more people than it was.
Don't expect that a drop of let's say 50 % in the production expenses means that you can get your phone for 50 % cheaper at your local vendor. This will mean savings for the phone producers that's for sure. The consumer prices, however, are a combination of various different factors (marketing, shipping etc).
"For RME's digital audio cards of the DIGI series and the Hammerfall
series different drivers are available for Linux and other operating
systems. Please note that there is no direct support from RME,
neither written nor by telephone, as these drivers are not written
by RME."
Well, it looks like it's too much said that it's completely supported, but looks very interesting in any case. Thanks for the info!
I wish so too. The problem is that we need a distro which is very popular and has well defined specs so that these audio software companies get interested. Especially for stuff like Pro Tools we also need hardware drivers for the special devices that are needed for serious work with the software. It's going to be a lot of work before we can make our recordings under Linux.
Well, actually Mac is pretty much THE system for professional audio. Most of the heavy pro audio applications such as Pro Tools from Digidesign have been released for PC/MS Windows and Mac. Real professionals seem to be counting on Mac audio workstations rather than PCs. For me the reasons seem obvious.
As a Gnu/Linux user I wish Redhat good luck in this project. Linux-based systems make a good and stable platform for multimedia applications as well as anything else. Perhaps in the future the doors will be opened for heavy duty audio applications for Linux also.

I feel so much more free now that I no longer can copy my own files. Thank you!
