I've had to nickel, dime, and trade my way into the gear I have now. I AM one of the ones that isn't as fortunate. Beside that, it should be pretty fucking obvious that someone that "isn't as fortunate" won't be contracting out coders to fill in gaps in half-assed software.
If you want something, PUT IN THE GODDAMNED EFFORT or shut the fuck up and leave the accomplishments of this world up to the people who have the guts to put in work.
Or, even better, BUY a program that ALREADY WORKS CORRECTLY. You fuckers are pathetic, you know that? Put effort into getting things? Blow me, shitwad. I'm a musician. I put my effort into making music. I don't need to learn to write a fucking feature, I'll just use software that actually WORKS instead of some half-assed piece of shit that exists only to make the author's cock seem bigger in the mirror.
Fuck you, and all you pathetic fucks that can't deal with society in general. Go outside and maybe you'll realize that beyond your circle jerk of Stallman-cum-guzzling online friends... nobody gives a shit about you or your sad fucking ideals. Fucking kill yourself.
If you believe that, you're fucking stupid. Why would it be harder to find used games if people are bringing them to just one store? So Gamestop doesn't sell one particular product you were looking for. Big fucking deal. The inventory of Gamestops aren't based on some corporate mandate, with a few exceptions for major games and systems. They are determined mostly by the store manager who knows what will sell best in his store. Move a lot of used games? You carry a lot of them. Sell a shitload of DVD's? Request more.
You make the stupid assumption that Gamestop is suddenly going to start forcing former EB Games outlets to carry the exact same shit. You obviously know absolutely nothing about Gamestop. Out by the mall here we have three Gamestops in about a quarter mile radius. One specializes in PC games, one in new console games, and one in used console games and DVD's. There's MORE choice because each store is allowed to handle specific items instead of having to cater to everyone and everything in the same amount of space.
"I'm sorry, we don't carry those screen protectors. Try our other store down the street."
Your idiocy makes my testicles quiver in anger. Kill yourself before my nuts take control of the rest of my body, track you down, and sever your head with a meat cleaver.
Yes Timmy, that's the way businesses work outside of your parent's house. Maybe one day you'll grow up and understand.

With Blender you have complete access to the source code so the problems you have with other software of being limited to how they expose things in their API is nonexistent. Or you could do it as a module and use the built in python scripting.
None of which means a damned thing because in order to get Blender to the usability of Maya you'd have to... well... BUY MAYA. Blender isn't the same ballpark as Maya. Hell, it's not even the same damn sport. Blender is AT BEST a competent hobbiest plaything. It is NOT a serious tool for film work, no matter what the Blender people try to tell you. It doesn't matter how open the API is or that you have source code. You'd have to rewrite the entire thing in order to even touch Maya's feature set.
You can do that in Blender too - Blenders internal structure is extremely flexible, adding new types is very easy and everything 'just works'.
If your idea of "just works" includes everything being buggy as shit, then yeah it works. I've yet to use a Blender plugin or script that didn't crash at least one in three times I use it. The closest anything comes to not imploding is Fiber generator but even that has its issues.

Where, exactly, does it say that this is a *NIX based board?
And when are you pathetic fucks going to stop complaining about every goddamned "Ask Slashdot" that's posted? If you don't like it, don't read the fucking section, dumbass.
Whoever modded me flamebait has obviously not actually tried to use any Linux sound software. Three fucking years I used Linux as my only OS, and in that time I found THREE sound apps worth using.
Hydrogen Audacity Rezound
Those three apps got me through a shitload of home recording. I'm considering doing a small Fedora setup just so I can use Hydrogen again. Nothing else I used was worth the effort it took to get it to the half-assed stage it was at. Rosegarden, Muse, Beast, Ardour... all total shit. If you don't believe me... actually TRY those sometime.
There is nothing useable on Linux for that sort of thing. Anything you'll run across is buggy and half-assed. I know this, because I've used it all before. Rosegarden MIGHT be useful now, but I doubt it.
The best program I've found for doing what you want is Guitar Pro. So you have two choices. Either nut up and use a Windows box, or don't do anything.
Which is what I said. For THAT edition they hold the copyright. That doesn't mean they hold the copyright on all of the text. It's same thing here. The MTA doesn't hold the copyright on the payout of the subway system but they DO hold they copyright on that particular visual representation of it.
So I'm wondering just what in this image is subject to copyright.
The artwork, dumbass. Just place names and streets are facts doesn't mean that a drawing of those things are facts as well.
This is the same as a company printing a book that's in the public domain, yet still retaining copyright. For THAT PARTICULAR EDITION they hold the copyright. You can create your own, but you can't copy theirs.
Look retard, the FSF has stated time and time again that 'distribution' under the wording of the GPL does not refer to internal distribution within an organization. If you can't wrap your brain around that simple fucking fact, then shut the fuck up about the GPL.
English means absolutely nothing as far as contracts are concerned. Words take on much different meanings. If you're unaware of this fact, then you really shouldn't be spouting off about contracts. Shut the fuck up.
Don't bother making sense. This is Slashdot. You're going to get shouted down and modded flamebate by a bunch of "OMG BUSH UIS TEH BAD MAN!!!! NUKES! ANTRACKS! REPUBLICANSLOLOMG@!!@!11" dumbasses anyway.
THE GPL USES COPYRIGHT LAW TO WORK PROPERLY. If you ignore copyright law, you have no business complaining about GPL violations. If you can violate one person's copyright, you have no place to complain when someone else violates yours. It has nothing to do with what's right and wrong, legal or illegal, and has everything to do with avoiding hypocrisy.
Flamebait my ass... it's the truth. Look around here. You see the same people bitching about GPL violations in one thread while defending the illegal distribution of copyrighted material on another thread as "fair use". It's hypocritical bullshit.
Jesus fucking Jones this guy is the biggest parrot I've ever fucking seen. You could take 10 separate Stallman interviews and 10 out of 10 would include at least half of the following:
Some jab at "Open Source" software, usually with a side snap at ESR.
A reference to "intellectual property" being a vague and meaningless term. This coming from the guy that thinks "Free Software" is a perfectly sensible name, despite having to define what it means at every turn.
References to work he did 20 years ago, trying to cover up that he hasn't done anything worth talking about in... well... 20 years.
References to GNU/Linux, despite nobody but the most insane FSF nutjobs giving a shit about prepending GNU to anything but "GPL".
A gross misunderstanding of the state of modern computing.
Several statements that are nerve-grindingly hypocritical (see in this article: "Copyright infringement is not necessarily wrong, but distributing software without respecting the freedom of the users is necessarily wrong", followed up with "Why then is it wrong to violate the GPL? Because that tramples other people's freedom or puts it at risk." Can you smell the steaming pile of bullshit?)
At least one question that goes unanswered, but instead turns into a treatise on something entirely unrelated. ESR is a master of this one as well.
Some bitching about patents.
Some bitching about non-free software.
Some bitching about DRM.
More bitching.
A faint smell of old food molding in his beard.
The guy is insane and anachronistic. By his own admission he doesn't use a fuckin' GUI. Why the hell do people still listen to him or care what he has to say? It's all the same crap over and over. Just read his old interviews.
Yet also at any given point in time they're badmouthing their own product, their own methodologies, from their recent past.
So what you mean is that instead of resting on their past performance they instead release a piece of software and move on with their lives, eventually growing frustrated with previous efforts that fell short of their current expectations?
What a HORRIBLE way to develop software! I mean, if EVERYONE wanted to improve their past performance... that would just be HORRIBLE!

There's a difference between a copyright and the right to copy. I'd explain it, but you're probably too brain damaged to understand.
I've had to nickel, dime, and trade my way into the gear I have now. I AM one of the ones that isn't as fortunate. Beside that, it should be pretty fucking obvious that someone that "isn't as fortunate" won't be contracting out coders to fill in gaps in half-assed software.

Don't bother. Trust me. Ardour is shit. Audacity is good, but giving up Sonar for some e-penis extension would be fucking stupid.

Yeah, that's a lack of choice... isn't it?
Shut the fuck up and kill yourself. Please. The world needs one less condescending cuntrag.
