An employed homosexual truck driver sounds much better scenario than life of yours which involves lurking in your mother's basement and doing nothing useful.
It all just boils down to the speaker size really. A subwoofer cannot produce high-frequency sounds, but is good for delivering the necessary energy for low frequencies. A small speaker cannot produce low frequency sounds but can touch the ultrasonic range when it comes to high frequencies.
A small laptop speaker can make very high frequency sounds. I don't know about microphones, maybe the same applies. A high-frequency sound has also the benefit of travelling long distances in air. However it might be that the speaker and microphone circuitry have some frequency filtering going on to make the signal nicer, which would defeat the idea. Other than that, communication between computers outside the hearing range is technically possible.
For my job, I have to download many PDFs (up to 100 at a time) and Chrome asks me EVERY... SINGLE... FUCKING... TIME "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep <filename> anyway?"
Yeah, I find this a bit annoying too. At the same time it allows me to happily download EXEs. I don't see the big risk in opening PDFs, it is not a format which often carries vulnerabilities.
No. SMTP was never meant to be secure and was never advertised to be secure. It's "secure enough" for casual and most business emails. I'd venture a guess that 99.999% (and that may even be low) of email sent would have zero benefit of being encrypted because no one cares what the content is.
It'd be like encrypting every conversation at a football game. Yeah all the conversations would be private, but aside from the two parties talking, no one cares.
Many protocols used over Internet were not designed with encryption because it didn't seem that important at the time. Internet was built with the intention that everyone plays nice and the networks are trusted. With NSA, times have changed, as they can set up a MiTM attack anywhere and the wire cannot be trusted anymore. It's not that they would only get a criminal warrant for the ISP to reveal your mailbox contents, but instead they are actively snooping in random places where they shouldn't be.
So you can have your fake plastic people performing fake plastic songs.
There are occasionally some really good songs in the plastic everyday trash pop genre too. It might not be good art, but it might be good entertainment. You don't always need the steak with potatoes and salad but just the bag of candy (what an analogy...).
My rules are only: do anything that you want, but stop this stupid overproducing of albums. Don't record 128 tracks in the DAW just because you can and then apply the kind of dynamic range compression of which only purpose is to fill the audio signal with energy so that it plays loud.
It's just increasingly hard to point fingers to "made in China" when there is a quality problem, because almost all electronics are made there these days. From cheap junk to very high-quality equipment. They are just a big factory and make anything that the customer orders. I bet there's a factory in China that could have made the laptop case from a sleek, low-odor plastic type if Dell had ordered from them. Instead they went with Cat Pee Plastics.

Sounds like another open source project with inappropriate funding. Sometimes it's nice to use commercial software just because of that: when the company can throw good cash at developers, they are motivated to work hard on new features.
I know we're gonna get all the "ha ha, it's an evil megacorp anyway", but damn it must be stressful moments to some of the folks at Adobe.:/ Especially if the source code leaks turn out to be true.
However, at this point it is rather silly there is no windows 64bit version. They have had a linux and mac version for ages now. At this point is it really that big of a deal? Most of the 64 bit problems were worked out long ago...
Part of the Windows culture seems to be that most userspace apps are released as a 32bit version only.
You could put Xubuntu on that machine or, get a slightly newer refurbished laptop for $150 and put Windows 7 on it (use MSDN image and Daz's Windows Loader).
Actually I would say that Windows 2000 (one of the best OS's MS has made) was the merger of consumer and business lines (Win98 and WinNT4). Windows XP was developed from the 2K base and made it more bloated, more unstable and more unsecure.
It doesn't matter much on linux which manufacturer is better. There is almost no need for GPU acceleration. Even if the GPUs accelerates anything, how important is it to you, personally? Most linux users are better off with a good quad core CPU and >=4 GB RAM.
High-performance GPU acceleration on Linux is very important.
Remember that the package contains drivers for multiple chips and, 3D graphics drivers inevitably contain really much code. 90MB does not sound that unreasonable at all. Think about all the stuff to translate DirectX/OpenGL calls to the specific hardware processing units. NetFx requirement is indeed a bit silly and comes from Catalyst Control Center, which is an app that is slow junk on Windows. The Linux version uses Qt and works ok.
Why are you such a Linux retard? You're killing yourself creatively by asking for this kind of of software for Linux.
Exactly. I do not personally support the RMS attitude of using something just because it's OpEn SoUrCe, if it actually makes the task too clunky to be enjoyable, or, as you said, limits your creativity. Use the best tool for the job, I says. Software which works is the primary thing IMO. Now, I use Linux and all that good stuff, but I prefer to use it for things which it is actually the best tool for the job, one example being programming.

Maybe, but the attenuation is so high that those frequencies can be dismissed for practical purposes.
You would also have to rewrite all the embedded firmware, including but not limited to BIOS.

It makes for a great campfire story!

Ditto. Garbage is an excellent band. :)

It was an unholy merger of Win9x and WinNT/2k

To me it seems the Slashdot hive mind is starting to teach everyone to robotically hate Canonical.
I prefer PÃtterKits as my runlevel daemon.
mostly okay for some stuff, and utter **** for anything else.
So mostly okay for some stuff, and four stars out of five for anything else? Pretty good, pretty good.

In this case that is true, too.

Ah yes, that's indeed an important correction. :)
He needs a DAW, not a toy.
It looks like some mini-DAW like Garageband might be hit the sweet spot for his needs.
