That's my main problem... loading and changing CDs.
And occasionally transferring video from my MiniDV, but once firewired, I can control everything from within Premiere.
but those are trivial issues compared to the benefit of noise elimination.
Right now I only have an internal CDR burner, but I've been thinking about getting an external DVD burner just so I can have it on my desk instead of in that other room with the case.
After I silenced my computer by putting the case in an adjacent room with extension cables, I found I had to crank up the volume of my Harman Kardon speaker/subwoofer set to drown out my downstairs neighbour's combined kid/newborn/dog/parasitic-boyfriend racket.
Sometimes, I feel I have to put the subwoofer face down on the floor, and play some hardcore basstastic gansta rap full blast.
Where I work, only Corel WordPerfect Office licences are officially approved as budget expenses, and supported by the Help Desk.
Yet, I see more and more MS Office documents pass through my department.
But a lot of the people who use either app still don't know how to write a document properly with tabs and other text formatting functions (e.g. 20 spaces instead of two tabs, pressing Enter at the end of each line, etc.)
Maybe it's time I saw a hypnotherapist...

this is stupid and costly.
how many regular cones get accidentally crushed by traffic? or randomly flung by bigrig turbulence?
one "good" thing that is bound to happen though, is some Anonymous Coward stealing a few of them and hacking them apart and back together again (possibly even to try and run Linux on it?).
one thing I know is, once someone is in law enforcement's reticle, the police tries to lay as many charges as possible.
1) illegal spamming 2) misleading adverts 3) selling snakeoil etc.
it's called not putting all your eggs in the same basket. if spammers violate multiple acts and are charged under all of those, the police are likelier to get at least one conviction.
the simple explanation as to why there arent any linux dvd players is, to the MPAA, "a few million" linux users are a drop in teh bucket "when the other multi-multi-millions [of other people] are also involved".
If you believe in Buddhism, there is a finite boundary to reincarnation, that one must strive to attain; if one does not succeed, one lands on Go again, collects 200$ and goes around the board another time, so to speak.
that means there isnt an infinite number of trolls typing at an infinite number of computers connected on an infinite number of ISP lines trying to get an infinite number of moderators to mod them down by an infinite number of negative numbers!
Remember the airport terahertz scanner the tinfoil crowd was in uproar about some time ago (the news item was accompanied by a photo of some fat lady appearing somewhat naked on the monitor when under the eye of the scanner)?
What happens when that scanner gets small enough to be mounted on this lasersight system?
A new Gestapo?

The best part of the golden D&D years for me was reading Phil Foglio's cartoon in Dragon Mag.
Did the characters ever managed to play Sex&Dungeons&Dragons or did I miss that issue entirely?

DDOSing their email system would just help them have an excuse not to have an "opt out" mechanism...

I hope this answers your question...
rest assured, at least one person gets your humor!

i almost expected that the main problems would be with the name of the title...
La Pucelle means "the [female] virgin".
I didnt RTFA, but I guess this is a game about Joan of Arc, aka La Pucelle d'Orleans?
and with a bit more luck, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) [cbc.ca] will also ditch RealPlayer as well.

I put my pc case in another room using extension cables. Door closed. I dont hear a thing!

nice. I was about to ask "what about video taping" but your linked list even has that info!
many thanks!

they pollute?
have the judge sentence them to a cleanup job for a few years. preferably something really stinky and disgusting.
slave labor, i know. but it should teach them a lesson, more so than being someone's b!tch in a federal PMITA prison.
that looks more than 6 lines.
