Slashdot Mirror

I recently did a scultpure that utilized the tricks that Edward Land did... if you don't know about Land's experiment, you should. It's an eye-opening (sorry) experience.

Check out a write I did he re. View a short animation that explains it all here (Shockwave required).

Another really trippy experiment to try is this:

Grab a friend and go to a mirror. Then have your friend face you, and look at your eyes (one and then the other). Then look into the mirror at your reflection, and look from one eye to the other. Notice a difference? This will freak you out.

Email me if you want to know whats going on.... I dont want to spoil it, its too freaky. :)

At the University of Victoria, there are nearly two girls per guy on campus. They have an excellent engineering department, one of the best co-op programs in the country, and 3 girls in my engineering class.
3! In a class of more than a hundred! Does that strike you as odd in a school where the normal distribution is 60:40, or greater?
That said, they tend to be much better students on average than the guys. No I'm not implying women are smarter than us (I'll say that outright!), but a large percentage of the guys are interested primarily in making a slough of money. The girls who are in engineering (in my class at least (yes, I know, the sample size is statistically invalid)) are there because they really want to be. That's always the segment of the student body that performs best. Therefore, they're among the best of our crew, compete for the best job-ops, and get them as often as their hairier peers.
As for the up and comers-- I've got a little cousin being tutored in a Montessori school, who's quite the independant sort. Only 9 year old I ever met who could cogently explain to me what an engineer was, what they did, and what school she's going to for training to be one. My dad's a PEng, and all I knew at that age was his explanations of simple math problems made my head hurt...
Maybe the women are more inclined to do what they actually like than as money-hungry idiots? Oh, that's right... I like my mind-destroying soul-eating enervating stultifying tendon-inflaming desk job... forgot.

I personally never got the hang of it, but the version we used was still pretty beta and we only spent a few weeks with it. Still, it is designed for multiversioned sites.

Now I got a Question that might soound a bit un-pro but it is very important-
please tell me with much in depth stuff what is the AC3 Decoder for Linux, how do I USE it? and what does it ment to be used?
I found it here:
AC3 DECODER
Thank you all, C'ya

first of all John you're the best!

The GPL AC-3 decoder is called 'ac3dec' and is available at http://ess.engr.uvic.ca/~aholtzma/ac3/. It supports Linux, Solaris, etc.

The Dolby Digital AC-3 specs are on that site as well.

For the record the school I am attending UVIC recently added a Software Engineering degree option. You could even take all the courses offered the first year with no prerequisites.

Out CSC department is aligned with the Engineering department and is part of the faculty of Engineering for what that is worth. It was originally part of the Arts and Sciences Faculty, that Faculty has been broken up a lot too now.
