[03-11-09 22:05]: So, that's why when I just tried to install Pidgin, I was told I have to install network manager. WHY IS THAT ONE? (not yelling at you, just blown away). I have no need or want of networkmanager, but to run pidgin I HAVE to install it(and since I told it to ignore, it won't run at all). That's a crock of crap. 11.0/KDE3 You have to have a computer, too. Another crock?
You and Carlos, in this particular thread, sound *E-X-A-C-T-L-Y* like every single M$ defender did/do with W98 and later. Their favorite defense shout-down...'you don't have enough RAM'. You guys...'We like it, if you don't, go away'. Then, when someone calls you on your a$$holishness, you pull the 'I don't have to listen to someone tell me I'm wrong, I'll just bitbucket him. Nyaah!'
It is not a question of liking it or not. It is that there is no available method of having both support for several sound methods, and at the same time being able to remove absolutely everything that has "pulse" in its name. It is simply not possible. If somebody thinks it can be done some other way, then go ahead, do it! For instance, you could rewrite every kde app to use plugins for sound. That would involve a lot of work in many teams, so it is not practical. If you want it, go ahead, join the teams and make the change. The current solution is the best they have, with the available resources and knowledge. And no, I'm not a dev, but I can understand why they /have/ to make certain choices. Before demanding they do something, please make an effort to understand why they do what they do the way they do. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
