I'm an atheist, anyway.

PS Here was my original response to this thread, which, in hindsight, would have been more...uh...something:

Arguing about operating systems is like...well, stupid.

At the risk of restarting flames of old...I see far more problems with sound on Windows than I ever see with either Linux or MacOS. Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture especially has been nothing but a world of hurt.

don't worry, no one was defending windows.

Heh, well I wasn't meaning to take any potshots at it either. I just use all three of these operating systems most days so tend to run into whatever problems they have going.

List of people on this forum who have received a Christmas gift from Dusty:

...or even a card:

...how about a thought?

PS The atheist/Christmas comment was based on a news story I heard on the way in to work this morning about an ad that they're going to start putting on the local subway ("Metro"). I believe it's something like this.

[Voltron]

I can't see the list.

[EdipisReks]

i'm confused, now, because i can see the list.

[Voltron]

Can you also see dead people (outside your basement, I mean)?

[EdipisReks]

not on Tuesdays.

Not that this pissing contest over OSes isn't interesting and all, but...

Does anyone know if there is a utility out there to lock the volume settings for OS X? Or, alternatively, a way to limit the maximum volume, I guess like the option on the iPod.

Not quite sure if this is what you're looking for -

macosxhints.com - Set default startup volume from boot volume screen

Thanks, not quite it. I guess what I'm looking for is a volume limiter such that the volume cannot be set beyond a certain level, or alternatively, something that would lock the volume so people couldn't turn it way too high.

Postjack would not approve of this post.

You could use pliars and pull the volume keys off the keyboard
