like intel ati or the like,
or all of them in general

my request would be to stop making me install free aol internet trial just to have drivers for my sound card soundblaster.

or just never have extra software from any company that isnt needed forced upon us.

I would make Sat and cable companies stop making me pay for hundreds of channels I don't watch or want just to get the 20 or so I do want.

I would also like to make them stop compressing HDTV channles so much they are hardly HD anymore. I remember when HD was so crystal clear it was mind blowing.

I'd stop Lee Raymond from ever going to McDonalds again.

<RandomTip>
Speaking of "crap" files, if you don't use a dial up modem, search for this:

mdm*.*

and delete all files (useless modem drivers) My system had about 425 of these files IIRC.

stop GM and Ford from producing CRAPPPPP cars..?
stop SEC from letting investment banks screw the small investors so openly and shamelessly?
stop Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld Inc from screwing up the world...?
stop all the banks and credit card companies from pushing unneeded credit to families that cannot afford it?
stop the cola companies from pushing soda at school kids?
.... I could go on and on!

Everything is opt-in by default instead of opt-out.

Why don't you just buy some oil stock instead of whining?

it would be to have the RIAA and MPAA to stop doing blanket law suits.

actually it would be any company from doing such crap. None of this suing "John doe" bs. if they do not have hte proof they should not be allowed to sue.

I would make all game manufacturers stop releasing games that are not compatible to run on unix/linux platforms.

They say Linux runs on everything, but nothing runs on Linux.

I'd make game software companies stop releasing software before its ready. Remember a time when computer games worked?
