Gawd , I'm so sick of hearing about how wonderful
lisp is. How many people know lisp? Not many.
How many people know Java or C++? Lots. How much
do you think supporting it will cost when Joe
Lisp-Expert leaves for a $$$$ elsewhere and you can't find anyone else to do the job for love nor
money?
Personally I'm no Java fan but if you're not going to use C++ (which would be my 1st choice)
then at least use a language where you can be pretty certain that you can get people to maintain
it.
Use Lisp , jeez , why not just go the whole way and use Object Prolog?? After all , its waaay
powerfull and has even more geek kudos!
Why? Because until the day consumer electronics required direct neural connections any
entertainment media be it CD, DVD or whatever
has to be converted into analogue form before
anyone can listen or view it.And when its in analogue form you can do what you want with it
and all that digital copy protection is just so much white noise. Even digital screens or speakers
are no barrier as you can simply video the screen
or put a mic in front of the speakers.
How would you go on the web to download a driver
for your network card if your network card isn't
working because it doesn't have a driver?
Just curious.
1: Record music/video onto analog media. (ok ,
games could be a problem here:)
End.
Problem solved. I really don't see why people get
so uptight about these copy protection systems.
Can't copy a track because of some block in the OS
or player? Simple, tee off from the speaker cables into analogue record input connector of
your choice. Its really quite simple.
