In reply to Rich Kurtz who doesn't get how bad this beep is: When 99% percent of
the population adjusts volume it is because they are listening to something. That
thing usually has a different volume from anything else and that is one of the many
reasons you might be adjusting the volume. I doubt even the mighty Rich Kurtz adjusts
volume in ANTICIPATION of what volume he might need in the future! On top of that
the system beep also is about 20X louder than whatever it is you are listening to.
On top of that whatever it is you are listening to also probably has a volume that
does not effect the volume of the system beep so the system beep can be many times
louder than your adjusted application volume. On top of that I would hate to be
trying to record something when this thing beeped. On top of all that I bet some
programmer with no social skills will try and figure out how to solve those problems
while maintaining the beep which will make the operating system even more ugly.
I imagine some executive wanted to know what the volume was during a demo and nothing
was playing so he/she casually asked to add a beep and a lap-dog type programmer
added it without regard to the implications. This message is for the executive.
Use everything I just said and please TAKE CREDIT for it. I just don't want to
hear that beep anymore (in the middle of the night-with all my neighbors trying to
sleep).
