HP caved to RIAA

After significant research - spurred by my not being able to activate the "line-in" or "stereo mix" feature on my HP Pavilion laptop - I discovered that HP disabled these features deliberately on their onboard Conexant sound card. This appears to be a problem with many computers running vista, and seems to be driven by the demand by RIAA that people not be able to record streaming media.

Yes, TotalRecorder will do the job for a paltry $35.00. It's just the principle of the thing.

xkcd can add Hewlett Packard to this caption.

Stinkers.
