3D Sound by Creator of MP3

Posted by michael on from the jaws-theme dept.

im333mfg writes "News.com has an article detailing the Fraunhofer Institute for Media Technology's latest and greatest audio solution, Iosono, or as they're putting it 'true three dimensional audio, which can give the impression of, for example, a horse galloping through the center aisle of a movie theater, or pinpoint a noise so that it sounds exactly like a person shouting from outside theater walls. The best existing surround sound speakers can approximate this only for a small sweet spot, perhaps a few feet wide, while the Iosono system would create the same realistic illusion for everyone in the room.'"

    • Marc Andreessen made 100s of millions of dollars shortly after graduating from UIUC. Today's graduates of the same university face moving back in with their parents. "Fuck that, I got mine!"
    • Brian Behlendorf decided he'd rather go to India to recruit software engineers than help out the graduating classes of 2001-2004 here in the US.
    • Robert Malda stood idly by and said NOTHING while his company offshored its flagship product.

    Miguel de Icaza, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, and Linus Torvalds all got rich off the Open Source Movement. What do you have to look forward to?

    your sig fails it!

    void (*sig(int sig, void (*sig)(int)))(int);

    cdecl> explain void (*sig(int, void (*)(int)))(int)
    declare sig as function (int, pointer to function (int) returning void) returning pointer to function (int) returning void


    first, your function takes in 2 variables named sig. second, it returns a function "void x(int)", and accepts and int and a "void x(int)", but itself takes in (int, (void x(int))), so declarative recursion is not possible. outside of being obtuse syntax, it is not in any way clever.

    YOUR SIG FAILS IT!
