What a mess.

How can people use this garbage and better yet how can the loons over in
comp.os.linux.advocacy claim it "just works".

Wow. I'm not use to getting a normal response when commenting about Linux.
Usually people call me a fanboy! Which I am not.

Especially since he's not exactly being forthcoming as
to identification of said "bunch of crappy programs".
Granted, that might be excusable in certain cases -- does
anyone know what program is run if one pulls down
"System>Preferences>Main Menu" in Gnome? -- but he
could have at least mentioned that, if that's one of his
"crappy programs".

(For the record, my system apparently couldn't find a
needed program for that menu. Bug; I'm going to have
to track it down at some point.)

That last "thread of lockups" hadn't been updated in 2 months.

Where's the current "thread of lockups"?

Quite often it does.

My experience with the Hauppage 1212 so far have been much smoother
under Linux than they have been under XP and Vista and I'm not even
sure if the driver has had a "release" as such yet.

Quite often it's not so much the relevant code quality but the "approach".

Put simply, I don't need any "special tools" to sanity check a capture
device. The Unix device scheme allows me to just dump data from the
device and feed it into any movie player. It's an idea that sounds
"hard" but in the end is actually quite "simple".

Simple and easy are orthogonal.

How about "asshole"? Does that work for you?
