Where have you been? There's always been an emu10k1 driver! I don't really feel like looking, but I would venture to say that there was emu10k1 support in the very first release candidates of the 2.5 series. Perhaps you're just overlooking the obvious? Maybe the drivers are loading but since you have two sound cards it is playing on the onboard but the speakers are plugged into the Live!/Audigy/_____?
Start with some sort of learning BASIC. There's plenty of proprietary BASICs out there for just this purpose. Study the basic use of variables, loops, input, output, etc.
Move onto C, do basic memory management like linked lists, then go further into circular lists and doubly-linked. Still in C, move forward and write some functions for sorting and searching your linked lists. Start with a bubble sort and a binary search, explore further if you feel nessisary.
Move into the land of Object Oriented programming. C++, Java, who knows... I can't really think of a good language to learn OOP on - however, I'm sure there are specialized learning languages for OOP just as there are for learning the basics. I can't think of anything really specific to cover in OOP like I could in BASIC and C... perhaps turning your linked lists into embedded "node" and "list" objects, and having varying private and public functions to add/remove/search/sort the list.
Move on to python or something else that is "strange" (maybe Ruby or C#, but I haven't got around to learning those languages so I can't really say anything on them). The basic education has ended, so pick a real project and get to work! There will be a lot of documentation reading ahead..."
A lot of people say self-taught programmers are terrible and end up writing terrible hacks of code. I feel my own self-education is fairly decent. YMMV...
Remember, the language reference is your first friend, and google is second. Only after you check those two do you ask someone for help.
What the fuck does DRM have to do with SSH and SSL? The only simmilarity that I can see is that they both use encryption in an attempt to provent access from unauthorized parties.

I have anecdotal evidence that binary distribution is faster than "source and compile" distribution, but I'm not even going to present it since my point is so weak (being anecdotal and all).
For the same reason people use toll roads when the public ones lead to the same place? Because the private offering is good enough to justify spending money on it.
What gives the private sector the right to squash any public business just because they believe they can do the job better?
The major difference here is that the public would be competing at worst with the private sector; not squashing it through legislature. If this bill had gone through, the private would have squashed the public in such a style. Your statement just doesn't stand up.
Well, apperently we don't all know how it works. I have never used iTunes; And if I did I certainly wouldn't use it for buying music. So really, I had no idea, and he had no idea, especially because he was probably trying to play the file in WMP or Winamp. Either way, it is very difficult to market something that is designed to punish the user - people don't like it.
Actually, the consumer does care. I've talked to plenty of people that have a story that goes like this:
"My Dad downloaded some songs for me from iTunes music store but I can't play them on my computer."
I've never actually had to deal with DRM'd music myself, but I'm under the impression that more than one computer can be authorized for some tracks. Either way, this is another step that the user doesn't understand ("why can't I just copy my files over the wireless network the nice ISP set up for us?"). So while they lose business from the "know what we're doing" techies like we have so much of on slashdot, they're also losing business from the middle-class family that doesn't know much about computers but has plenty of disposable income and several computers in the house. I don't know about Microsoft's DRM but I suspect it isn't simpler than Apple's.
In conclusion, the user does care about DRM, they just don't know what it is, or why it is there. The see the symptoms and that is a major turn off because they don't really know what is causing it. On the other hand, I would guess that you're probably right about lossy vs lossless; they don't care.

Upload throttling has been implemented in bittorrent since the very first client.

Liar.
You must be satisfied with losing a lot.
Except maybe to lower the price of the game.
Thanks. For an even quicker hack for the lazy:
Stick this into a file called deob.py:
---BEGIN---
import sys
import string
def deobfuscate(msg):
new = ""
for s in msg:
if s in string.uppercase:
new += s
return new
print(deobfuscate(sys.argv[1]))

Nobody cares! (to both you and grandparent)...
I hate to come across as a troll, but really, both comments have absolutely no purpose except to maybe spur flamewars.

As soon as you use google.

If only I had mod points. Oh how I love modding the zealots down. (And the witty people up)
If the conditions for an exploit are so specific that is is hard to create them even if you're trying then the exploit isn't all that dangerous...
You can always read your own posts.
Nice. I hope I wasn't the only one who got that...
Hehehe, owned. :)
You could also post the address of the proxy so that more people will flood it and they will both mutually ban each other.
Sure???
I think you're confusing Apple apologists and Apple fanboys. While some may reside in both categories, I don't think they completely cover each other.

But do their shareholders care about profit?
Do you even know how metamoderating works? Firstly, you don't go out searching for stuff, and secondly Underrated and Overrated are not metamoderated.
