You set your player to volume X. At that volume a soft note is barely audible, where as a loud note is somewhat audible. You turn the volume to 104db. The loud note causes bleeding. The soft note is now quite audible.
Changing configurations on all machines might be necessary for example not every machine has the same video hardware.
Like I keep saying POSIX and LSB both need to have the ability to override the standard with standard overrides.
Suggestions:/etc for local default options/usr/etc for default application settings/usr/lib/prog/ for application overrides/home/.prog/ for user overrides
POSIX was designed back when they had to limit the length of strings because hardware was expensive. POSIX and LSB, sadly, happen to be the most nitpicking standards I've seen to date.
I intend to support the LSB, but give me innovation over a decaying standard. Do we want the Linux kernel to look like the x86 chip design? Your P4 and Athlon can run code written for stop lights (Intel was in the stop light biz before the personal computer).
Besides with so many differences, can SCO or MS really claim Linux has copied code?
What if reaches critical mass and explodes? Oh no I've spoken too much, here come the Black Helicopters.

What galls me is that any fool on slashdot could design one of those, but no one will buy it except from some schmuck company selling it as a special kind of computer.
Why don't consumers believe that you don't need to be a corp(se) to make a special set up like that?
I made the argument that pure creation is not art. I made the argument in reference to the poster's mention of signature riffs.
The idea that someone who had no artistic talent or at least no apparent ARTISTIC appreciation should be interfering with the process of creating art, well let's just say: arrogant greedy bastard. I give him the E-F chord award.
I could care less for sound-in-time as I said. I care about art that is made of building blocks which have cultural and expressive value and this ass thinks he's going to get in the way of that.
The cost of living is 1/3 to 1/10 of what it is in the US. So $5,900 is between $18,000 to $60,000. 1/3 for luxuries. 1/10 for room and board. I'd move but the I couldn't eat hamburgers.
If I decided to launch cds and charge people to shoot at them, I would not need to ask your permission. Sadly, in Whinersville, Anycountry, European Union I probably could get fined and jailed.
Go live in the EU. They'll kiss your ass to hear every worthless note you play.
What if this software recorded a category and you could choose what category of software you wanted to run? No more clicking on the should this run dialog.
What an idea? Maybe something could be put into a permissions file. Oh wait...
Creating is silly. Creating is pure exploration. Not involved in the actual building process. What makes a song valuable is what you can recognize and relate to. Sampling is a tool for builders. Builders are the ones with the concepts, the art. A random number generator can be tweaked to create music. SSEYO.com's Koan Pro is proof.
Artists who do not build are well IMHO, frauds. What you call soundbytes and signature riffs I call Novelty. Builders do not use novelty.
Real artists don't get all teary eyed when somebody laughs at their work. Real artist call sampling communication.
Builders are sick and tired self involved so called poets. More music please, not more sound-in-time. It's disgraceful.

They finally have to find a more dignified job.
You only think it shakes. Great for GTA VC.
104 bars of lead are heavier than 104 feathers.
db is a ratio. Logarithmic ratio, but still a ratio.
Actually no they won't. db is a ratio.
It ain't the db that hurts your ears it's the final power of the sound.
3db = 2x the power.
104/3 = 35 almost. 2^35. Our ears are are amazing things.
However, a soft note is obviously many db lower than a loud note since db represents a ratio.
So no a soft note at 104db than it's normal volume will not cause damage.
So how do you divest yourself of stock when you see the thing going to the dogs?
Not if it's soft notes in classical music.
Gay Paris, indeed.
They could split us against each other. We could hope the report-on-people tactic strikes the American spirit as repulsive, couldn't we?
Couldn't we? Oh...
The 13th Amendment banned lobbying. It got lost.
That's why people use directory services.
/etc for local default options /usr/etc for default application settings /usr/lib/prog/ for application overrides /home/.prog/ for user overrides

Suggestions:
Oh so you're the one holding us back?
Doesn't play well with Linux boxes.
Ok. I'll write a meta standard. THey'll have to pull the bats out of their asses sooner or later.
POSIX SHMOSIX! (no offense to mosix developers)

There is no red hat version of the kernel. Linus owns the trademark and gets to say what Linux is and isn't. You can call it something else though.
I've got kids, I see three options:
TV.
Game console.
This cheap thing which I can code to do just as I like.
Umm yeah I think we have a winner. Now I'll go build one.
Should we be surprised at Microsoft's dominance?
What killed the ThinkNIC anyway?
Actually it was the people who decided to use it that are changing things.
Nice try. I made no such arguments.
