Actually, my next step is to claim that your two steps are already too complex. Not because people are stupid, but because these two steps require a greater investment of time and energy than most people can realistically be expected to make. The moment you mentioned taking a class, you had already failed.
Why bother? you cannot dismiss the hardware in the middle that GENERATES the audio... if your integrated hardware is poor -- your quality receiver amplifies poor quality audio.
HDMI can output DIGITAL Audio. MS has very good digital audio software mixing and playback algorithms. And many games use a library like FMOD which does software mixing and a DAC output anyhow.
You really only need to worry about a sound card if your PC is outputting ANALOG audio to HIGH QUALITY Amp & Speakers.
You can save $$$ on low mileage car insurance if you agree to be monitored by Metromile.
Not quite sure how this is flamebait? Some people would actually like to save money even at the expense of a little privacy.
Props?
Agreed.
You seem to imply that programming is, at its core, a relatively small set of simple and easily-grasped concepts, but I can't say I've ever found compelling evidence that this is actually the case. Could you please list these basic skills that are so easy to master? I'm afraid I have to ask for a thorough list.
Yeah. But they are really good at spectacular failure, and undermining long-term success prospects through want for cooperation...
Earth is already a permanent space colony.
Yeah.
And just LOOK at how THAT turned out!
Nope. Ongoing, current bacteriological process.
"Ever" - rhetorical device. Not a statement of actual infinite temporal determination.
sounds like a republican capitalist paradise. we should import a couple of the Dubai leaders to put the US poor to work. finally.
Grim emphasis on the "final".
Oil a'int fossil in origin. The Russians know that, and have capitalized magnificently on technologies that exploit this. This is actually the REAL story behind the Donetsk basin.
False scarcity is a wealth creator and a method of social control. UAE will be destroyed not by petrochemical scarcity, but by its comparative plenitude.
No one will EVER live in a permanent space colony. Sorry.
This fantasy was promoted in an age where achieving terrestrial dominance through orbital trajectory of warheads was under intense and competitive development. It did its job.
Rockwell rode on the tail-end of this era, for the final boondoggle of the US Shuttle Program, in the 1970's. You won't see anything like that again.
There is still an instrument for guiding one's evaluation of claims and conundrums: Cui Bono?
In matters of human affairs, it is generally less erring than application of Occam's razor.
"Someone" is interested in getting you to think that the biggest potential for catastrophe, in your daily life and for your way of living, is impending Muslim ideological violence. They wish you to believe an absurdity.
What group or party benefits from this? Why have they chosen this from other possible alternatives? What other possible real threats and risks are diverted from attention by this condition?
Those are the basic questions for the truly inquisitive, not those merely questioning from a habit of personality.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
