Comment 29 for bug 579300

Huh. Welcome to Microsoft Linux. That's... interesting, but terribly inconvenient.

It turns out this OSS garbage is responsible for my (cx8801) TV tuner cards' being able to capture audio from analog cable. Now due to an unfortunate bit of misguided and premature (but well-intentioned, I'm sure) house cleaning in the kernel config, I can't record my shows on Spike TV, E, or Comedy Central.

I feel the way I felt when Microsoft replaced the menubar and toolbars in Office with the "ribbon." The ribbon is cumbersome, does more harm than good, and is an abomination of proper UI design. But Microsoft is committed to their goal of making their products completely unusable, and I have no say in the matter. Now, once again, I sit shaking my fists at The Man, this time in the form of Canonical; and as usual, I plan to be thoroughly ignored.

You're lucky I'm not typing in all caps.

You know what? Screw that. I WILL TYPE IN ALL CAPS! Take that, Daniel Chen, Leann Ogasawara, and Andy Whitcroft! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to compile my own bleeding kernel to fix what you broke.
