I use Foxit as well, and Okular at home. Foxit is good, but I do have a complaint about it. Lengthy documents (60 pages) take an eternity to be sent to the printer. In this case I have no choice but to use Adobe to print.
While I agree to what you say, I'm a geek, as such I like things simple and efficient. Problem is, the rest of the people are more like SWEEEEEEEEEEET.
The domestic and foreign TV distribution channels are not going to pay this big money if the movie is widely distributed in one form or another prior to their contracted window of distribution.
What you say makes an awful lot of sense, however there's something that doesn't quite fit in this picture; when you say "in one form or another" it also has to include dodgy bittorrent distribution, which has been going on for a few years now. I would've thought TV channels were aware of this, but they pay the same money regardless.
The latency issue is an audio one, not midi. Latency from the controller to the DAW is pretty much zero, but then the DAW emits a sound and it takes quite a few miliseconds to come out the speakers.
Need a good USB or FW audio interface with good drivers designed with low latency in mind.
To be honest I haven't got this issue with the onboard card, only ASIO not working with it which is a shame as latency is noticeable if I'm using my MIDI controller. Other than that I find performance fairly good. It's a dual core 2.2GHz machine with 4GB of RAM, so the spec is quite good, but can't say how it compares with XP because I see no need of spending a day installing another OS.
I control a few vintage analog synts off the DAW as well using a USB MIDI interface with no latency issues.
Nevertheless onboard sound can have noisy outputs, I'm planning on getting a decent external card for this (and latency) reason.
I fail to see how the parent is a troll, regardless of whether he is right or not.
Nevertheless my experience with Vista is the same, I run home premium on a newish laptop I use for music production and haven't had a glitch on it for months. My first intention was to wipe out the drive and install XP, but I abandoned the idea some time ago.
That's just not gonna happen. It will greatly hurt both companies. Plus it will screw over the IT industry in which modern society relies on to work. I'm pretty sure there is a law or two to prevent this type of thing.
Intel would just go back to work and develop things that wouldn't violate NVIDIA's patent and then NVIDIA would be left in the cold cause the biggest licensor of their technology dropped their asses.
Dude, do you realise how expensive is to do what you suggest? Why do you think Intel licensed nvidia's technology in the first place?
You're right, it seems the parent was slightly inaccurate when explaining what Gefahr im Verzug is, for "security of the state or other citizens" is certainly not the same as "imminent danger to persons", as in some dude screaming his head off for help.
Just to make it clear, in Spain, a policeman can enter your house without a warrant only if there's obvious and immediate danger to the physical integrity of a person. Emergency services as well. Which I actually find very reasonable. Suspicion is not enough, they need reasonable proof that they are in fact needed in the property.
Warrantless home entry (with the excuse of drugs) was tried many years ago and received with a political thunderstorm and partially declared unconstitutional.
Police in Europe (at least in Germany and here in Austria) are allowed to raid your house when they believe there is imminent danger to the security of the state or other citizens ("Gefahr im Verzug"). They don't need a judge's permission/order for this.
Can't speak for our other euro colleagues, but certainly not in Spain pal.
Nothing out of this world, it's a dell studio 17 laptop, about a month old. On power efficiency when on standby, I think you might have your clue when you said "over the last decade". About booting. It's got a quick core 2 duo processor all guns blazing during all the duration of the OS load. Plus the HD going nuts. Course it uses that much power.
You didn't quite get my point. What I mean is that a car is still an engine + wheels + chassis. All improvements made since it was first invented is accessory to make you safer, more comfortable and spend less cash on keeping it running. Take it all away, you still got a car.
You can't expect a single instrumentalist to record a whole base track, on their own, without screwing up the tempo if they haven't got a reference in the first place. At least the first track benefits from the presence of a metronome.
That was one clever manoeuvre from the Navy, combined with better trained cannon staff, to the point the Armada had to turn around for repairs, resupply and rethink their strategy. This was their doom, for this is when the storms smashed most ships onto the island's coast (they turned south too early).
As it happened, it was still the weather which destroyed the Armada, and not the Navy (directly).
Err the article seems to forget the fact the Spanish Armada was decimated by severe weather first; the Brit Navy just destroyed what was left of it. It was hardly an accomplishment.

What do you mean coloured, like, purple? Dude and you didn't call an ambulance?
Thanks for that second link. Now I know for sure I have epilepsy.

Unless you can interface directly with the network media using a battery and a metal pin, STFU.
This is why I'll be getting an overly expensive sound interface ;)
Unless I find a way of squeezing a sblive inside my lappy's optical drive...

You seem to live in a world in which every person is a geek and knows what you're talking about.

There, fixed it for you.
Oh yeah, it also needs to power a 17" screen during that time.

I agree. After a weekend on standby the battery was still 98% charged on my laptop. It takes 4% of the battery to power on from cold.

You mean the recording process is just like it was 40 years ago?
Yes. I feel a car analogy coming on. Any car from 1960 is conceptually the same as any car from 2009. Just fancier and more efficient.
