Free Sound Samples?

· Score: 0
In the archive you will find all kinds of usable sounds. However...
A lot of these sounds are still in 8-bit format, or recorderd at 22kHz or less. This can be a good thing when you are looking for pacman and frogger-sounds, or when you are on an eighties nostalgia trip.
I try to make music (not for games), and in my experience most free samples just don't cut it, soundwise. If you really need quality sounds, invest in some decent-quality sound CD's. They won'have to cost much, but you will have access to a usefull library of quality sounds.
The most common standard for computer-based sample-cd's would be teh Soundfont format. SBlaster Live uses this format for it's samples, and TiMidiTy can use the format as well. If you have one you can load the samples onto the card, and starty using them right away. Websites to check: http://www.soundfont.com , http://www.synthzone.com/soundfont.htm
Wow, this really is an opportunity for sarcasm. Let's begin.
Since the movie comes from Hollywood, I would expect an Ingmar Bergman ending. If you need Hollywood Movies to make you think, then you should not be reading/.
Ok, i admit it, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. But it's a start...
Recently Novell acquired Ximian. They plan on developing a desktop for the company. Since Novell supports Open Source, the whole community will benefit from this. Think about all the improvements they could make to Gnome...
I know companies have tried to make desktop linux a success, but they failed. In my opinion they failed because their effort was not backed by the open-source community. Novell is trying (and succeeding) in engaging the OSS-community in their plans, and that is why they might succeed where others failed.
Not only that, but I expect a lot of new small boxes based on this (and similar) board. Think about multimedia-boxes, gameconsoles, routers/firewalls tablet-size pc's and so on. Next step in evolution I guess, but an interesting one. This will make large-scale computer-based home appliances easier to produce, and thus cheaper to buy.
I agree. Like the Great Chairman Mao once said: a revolutionary should feel like a fish (!) in the water when he is among the people. And in "the quest for the holy grail" the red-herring reference is in fact a metaphore for the (red) danger lurking in the shrubberies... Or am I getting lost here?

The internet is an international massmedium, and by trying to regulate it on the country level you are denying that fact. The 'net should not be taxed or regulated by local politicians in any way. Or else the 'net will become a playtoy of politics instead of the free mass-medium it is today. Tax is by it's nature a political thing.
Don't regulate the 'net, let the community take care of that. I said that before.
I smell false or misleading advertising there.
At home I use slackware 9.0, after playing with Caldera (i'm sorry), Debian, Mandrake and Redhat. I also use W98 for an app that does not exist under Linux'. At work we use Novell (secure), Linux (mostly secure) and various flavours of windows (not so secure, if). Windows boxes usually cost more time if you want to secure them, but with proper planning (and sometimes daily patching) you can keep them secure. If your management gives you the time and funding to do all that, then you could say that windows can be secure. But the same goes for Linux, although it will generally cost less time (and money) to keep the box secure. Plus you don't get the worms...
When we are talking (computer)security, we are mostly talking about human error (or worse). The technical part is just a small part of the whole. So the discussion about platforms is even a smaller part of that.
Maybe because the avarage windows-sysadmin is less knowledgerable (phew) than the average *nix sysadmin? Or because the M$-biased management doesn't understand anything about computers and security, and won't listen to their it-team? Or because the favourite app of the management requires a hole in the firewall at (for Christ's sake) port 137?
It may be because Windows-based computers are easier to attack, so the majority of the attackers choose windows as their main target. What will happen in 5 years, when the majority of the computers will be running Linux? I think that they will eventually start attacking linux-boxes, because there will be no windows-boxes left;-)
As usual, the type of software is probably not the problem. It's the fact that the people running the system either don't know, or don't get the time for the necessary security measurements. Even if you run a completely sealed linux-box, you still will need the time and means to install firewalls, virusscanners, patches etc.
This is a "you suck because your government is making the same mistake as ours"-comment. Do you feel better now that you know that there are governments that are as bad as yours? Didn't you know that before this happened? Geez.
Sure, everything has to be GUI and shiny these days. that;s something that RH understands. RH seems to have some problems lately with rpm's and dependencies, and the 9.0 release was rushed. Maybe they need Fedora to sort these things out...
And they call that news? Most of the stuff around me is made of bits of the earth. Some bits are more processed than others, but they are still b.o.t.e.

So, that would lead to the following comment:
In Soviet Russia, you bore Ingmar Bergman!
These are plants that don't need us, but at the same time their ranges and numbers have shrunk over millenia, because they can't use us either.
I think that in some strange way they are using us right now in order to survive. I don't think they did it on purpose, though.

well, there's computers, ofcourse. I haven't seen a computersexsite, yet.
