    At the end of the day, most people don't know this, so the system works fine
    Problem beeing that people need to make informed decisions.

    You can't cut costs by disabling things, but you can increase profit

    No you aren't reducind costs, you are just producing the 33k modem for the same price as the 56k modem, then you sell the 56k modems with a big margin and show why capitalism isn't all that great.

    I'm not going into the software side of this.

    In order to maximize profits, you can't cut costs by disabling what's already there.

    Linux should have a universal method to maintain and extend (I am saying that)
    Ok, I'm the dictator. We are making our own version of ActiveX now, with black-jack, hookers and giant security holes. You will have to use, enjoy your stay in Dictator/Linux.

    The thing is though, in OS X, you don't NEED a package manager. Drag and drop to install.
    You left out the possible step two: buy the newest OS X version.
    Synaptic shouldn't even exist in an ideal world (I realize it has to for now).
    ...a world with unlimited hard drive space, unlimited RAM and with someone having absolute control over your OS.
    Besides, do you expect my mom to know to go to "Synaptic" when she wants to install a program?
    I rather explain her to go to System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager then have her install software she found somewhere on the web.

    The sound blaster probably has 2 hardware channels/hardware mixing so it might be worthwile to set it up to use those features.

  19. Re:Something like the Creative Commons, but for co on We Don't Need the GPL Anymore · · Score: 1

    If you think that the CC licenses aere simple you should read the actual text, not just the summary. As a non-lawyer I find the GPL much clearer. Also there is choice: GPL, LGPL and the BSD/MIT licenses cover most aspects without much incompabilities.

    I hadn't have had problems with slight movements while listening to binaural recordings and for me binaural is clearly superior to any surround I have heard. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to enjoy a 14 speaker set if you prefer that, just that I should have the option to enjoy fully imersive sound with my existing headphones.
