Ha!

So a better alternative is what then??   ARTS!?...ESD? OSS?? Maybe 
"shes" a Widows user! (unnecessary slur there..I'm a windows user for 
some things but it seemed as informed and appropriate as the authors theme!)

To me, within the authors own text, one of Jack's supreme capabilities 
was clearly highlighted...

"You *can* still get Jack to work perfectly with 2ms latency (and 
hundreds of people do),"   And I am yet to see a developer of a RT 
kernel who doesn't take great care in stating the possible negative 
effects of running RT kernels. And if Jack sucks SO much, why has it 
become the most popular audio medium for All serious Audio applications?

I know Paul and crew have sufficiently thick skin to not be dented by 
this clown but it must be supremely irritating to have your work 
criticized in this manner, especially when no *better* solutions are 
offered up!

I give /. "anonymous coward" a big <oh brother> and a "see a therapist 
over petty jealousy issues" for this weeks show!
