A company like Steinberg is most certainly going to have samples of
the relevant hardware and drivers before they are available to the general
public. This is SOP for the GAMES industry for crying out loud. If there's
a variant of kilobuck productivity software for which this is not the case
then that would be truely sad.
Are you really claiming that EA has a more rigorous development
process than Steinberg?
I am now since you brought it up but it wasn't a factor in my original
debunking of your sillyness. Are you so dense that you think Steinberg
makes
more than 1/100th the profits Electronic Arts does? If you don't realize
that
So now you are trying to bullshit us into believing that Steinberg's
business model is not really viable and then that should be used as an excuse
for them to not bother to test their software with the relevant hardware.
That's fine by me. Such admissions make for great advocay of Free Software
in general. Nevermind pro audio.
Your babbling is so idiotic and non-sensical that I have to talk over you
rather than to you, because addressing gibberish doesn't work. Steinberg isn't
responsible for making their software work with hardware interfaces. The
people who make hardware interfaces are responsible for making their drivers
|
Sure they are.
Unless their customers are TOTAL morons, their customers will expect
Cubase to work with whatever combination of OS and hardware that Steinberg
recommends. This is how it works for kilobuck software. This is even how it
works for $50 games.
Real software is expected to be tested before it is released.
| Quote: | work with windows, and Steinberg is responsible for making their software work
with windows. Now, Steinberg surpassed Microsoft in the audio driver
department and developed ASIO drivers all by themselves. But again, it's up to
audio-interface manufacturers to make ASIO drivers for their hardware. And as

...and it is still up to Steinberg to verify all of this. They may
need to patch their own code to deal with the quirks of an individual device
or they may simply need to know that certain devices should be avoided. They
also need to know enough to deal with support issues that may crop up in the
field.
This is what separates the "pro" software from the hobbyist stuff.
| Quote: | long as those ASIO drivers are written properly, they will work with
Steinberg and every other company's software that has properly implimented ASIO
support. If an audio interface doesn't work with Steinberg's software, it's
the audio interface manufacturer's problem, not Steinberg's. It's not
Steinberg's job to do every other company's work for them.
That's reality. Your gibberish is fiction.

Well I guess than the whole term "audio pro" is an oxymoron.

Re: Gay Felcher Looking For Partners.

Why do you mock me?
Have you ever actually tried felching?
How about gerbiling?
The euphoria is fantastic, even more erotic than a kernel compile.
So I am gay. Does that bother you? Why?
I like smoking bone.Don't you?
The rush of warm semen flowing into my mouth is great!
So why don't you like gay Linux users?
You do realize that most Linux users are gay?

Hi!
I am Roy Schestowitz and I am gay and into felching.
I wish to meet other people who are into felching as well as Linux
becuase after felching Linux is my sex. Compyling my kernel makes me
go wild!
Please be descreet.
Search for my web sight on google and you can view pics from my
felching parties where I have had up to 25 different couples into
felching.
Anyone interested please email.
Please keep your posts in the CornhOleLickingAssholes group.
Thanks.

that's the froup to look at! |

perhaps your CAPS LOCK is on, or was on when you typed in a password. Or
you did a typo when you typed in your password. Or your keyboard is bad.
If all else fails, you can reinstall the system (do not format your /home
partition, which you should have created) and when doing so just create
the same user(s) as you did before). Or log in as root and then you can
change the password for any user. If you lost your root password, you
will
need to reinstall the operating system.
Perhaps I am showing my age, but at one time you could enter "linux
single" at the boot prompt. This would put you into a root shell without
the need for a password. Then, you can change the password on your user
account.

OK, I'll bite. What's required on the desktop?
- Browser. Covered. If one can't stand Firefox and has a dualboot
system with WinE, one can use IE.
- Editor/Wordprocessor. Covered by various means; the most notable
one is OpenOffice but one can also use KOffice, kate, scribus, ...
- Spreadsheet. Gnumeric, oocalc2, kcalc, ...
- Clock. Well, that's debatable as to necessity but it's nice to see
what time it is.
- Graphics editor. Some issues here, but GIMP serves most my needs,
or one can use xfig, dia, oodraw2, and there are probably others.
There's probably a bunch of stuff I'm missing of course, since Windows
has every program under the sun (including some that people probably
would rather not have to need, such as disk defragmenters, delousers,
and spamfilters).
So what can't Linux do?

Convince the masses that a free operating system is better than one
that they are willing to fork over $200 or more for.
Face it, if Linux were that good, people would be flocking to it
because theyt could save a fortune in application and operating system
costs.
The fact is , Linux stinks and badly at that.
Look at it this way: I use Nuendo to run my studio and with all the
plugins it cost me around $2000 or so.
If Protools or Logic were given away for FREE guess what I would NOT be
using?????
Right.
Nuendo.
Yet, here we have Linux which is given away every day and yet it is
totally ignored by anyone other than a geek server admin or some
engineer writing embedded device programs.
Maybe it's time for the Linux people to face the facts that the masses
simply are not interested in Linux?
Interesting concept huh? Yet that is what the data proves.
Let's say Panasonic DVD players were free and every other brand charged
money, do you think anyone other than a complete idiot would pay for a
DVD player?
Yet we have Linux, free for the taking and not many other than geeks
and server freaks are biting.
Why?
Let's go one step further.
Suppose Microsoft GAVE AWAY VISTA for the first 7 days, for free?
There would be riots in the streets.
Yet, Linux is free everyday and according to the tinfoil types is
better than Windows.
So?
Where is this rush to Linux?
I certainly don't see it. |

Of course it does; everyone knows that Linux's TCO is much
much higher than Microsoft Windows, as proven by Linux
running on z390 hardware compared to Microsoft Windows

everyone knows about the Microsoft Blue Screen Of Death
and rails against the stupidity of such things as requiring
a reboot after an IP address change (thankfully, that was
eventually addressed in Win2k but it sure took them awhile)
and tabbed browsing in IE7 (finally, after *how* long?).

It must be tough for you.
It seems you just can't make reasonable points in a discussion.
Oh sure you flood the thread with bullshit, but you really say little if
any substance.
Obviously you don't know what those applications are so you resort to
trying to discredit the poster.
How typical of Linux.
Funny, you also snipped the groups, that were in the post you replied to,
of people who will know you are an a*****le. I fixed that.

X-message-flag: Choose Linux - you know it makes sense
"It's on /.
'Kurt Pfeifle writes "Steve Ballmer's recent trip to Munich to offer
up to 90% rebates for the Microsoft Software Assurance and Licenses
was in vain. The ruling party of Germans biggest city and
self-proclaimed 'technology capital' now decided to migrate 14.000
workstations to Linux and an OSS office suite. A study comparing the
alternatives had assigned 6218 (out of 10.000) points to Linux/OSS,
while the MS Windows platform only scored 5293. Babelfish translation
of the latest newsticker story."'
90% rebate and they still chose Linux. 14,000 workstations. Great news
for SuSE I presume."
3½ years 100 users rather than 14000 27.3 million Euros
Seeing the Munich "migration" fail miserably: priceless |

Yes, they spotted the standard lock-in model, which almost
invariably includes a "too good to be true" deal to get you locked
in (or keep you there). Not stupid, those Germans.
Please do not feed the nymshifting flatfish (or trolls). It's only
begging for more.
The following posts from the same nym confirm it is flashfish:

No other anaonymous troll or errand reader would know some of these
full names and background, preceding posts.
Time to change nyms, Gary. ALso change your underwear. I can smell
you you from here, all the way across the Atlantic.
Yup, another pointer to it being s/h/it is Organization: Aioe.org NNTP
Server. Mark got suckered this time as he doesn't normally feed
attention seeking trolls.

You've gotta be kidding? You post 1800+ messages in May 2006, 1800+
messages in June and you've already got 49 messages in July and the
month is only a couple of hours old, and you are calling that other guy
a troll?
Seems to me that you, Roy Schestowitz are either a uber-troll or you
have a psychological problem that makes you post that many messages to
Usenet.
Or maybe it's both.
Get a life already, or at least go and see a shrink. |
