"Intelligence" is one of those vague abstract terms with cultural/political undertone, not some scientific notion. Such terms have their use, but let's stay clear of extrapolating it into something more like the social Darwinism did to evolution.
I'd expect that much from slashdotters. Wouldn't you?
Go further up the chain, the poster I was responding to wrote:
"I'd *like to* see an evolutionary study where the majority of binding mutations are advantageous rather than harmful."
I called him an idiot since he failed to understand what "advantageous" and "harmful" means in the context of evolution. That may have been harsh.
I called you an idiot because you insist on making the same mistake, even after others have pointed out repeatedly why it's a mistake. You fully deserve being called an idiot.
Let me give you another nudge. Your normative judgment on what may or may not be good for a species is irrelevant to the mechanics of evolution. We are talking science here.
As you noted, the difference is the lack of certain sounds. The lower bitrate stream doesn't sound "bad" per se, but if you hear the higher bitrate stream, you hear stuff that wasn't in the lower bitrate stream.
Who knows? Depends on the particular music pieces, some people may actually prefer simplified sound of low bitrate stream.
Yep, hard clipping concentrates large amount of energy onto the high frequency range, hence the tweeter protection. Fourier transform of clipping wave shows this very clearly. Signal processing 101.:-)

This is industry marketing dribble where they think "Open Source" is a fashionable marketing slogan.
Start your own thread, jackass. What the hell has that got to do with the post you're replying to, that you even quoted in bold?
It may not be a pretty "landmark" like Golden Gate Bridge, but it is the most important one in Bay Area, certainly way more than the GG.
Curb your enthusiasm. That'd be like shooting a million dollar cruise missile to take out $10 tent.
And I thought I was going senile - the whole title doesn't make any sense.
Soulskill managed to go beyond the call of duty this time onto the proverbial "THE NEXT LEVEL" of slashdot.
Because manufacturing is "low-value" stuff, and we are too good for that. Or some bullshit like that.
This Einstein guy is starting to really piss me off. Someone gotta take him down a notch or two.
Dude, go to town hall meetings for your therapy.
I feel sorry for the Austrians because of the likes of you.
"The unpowered simulator splashed down in the ocean.""
And threw "water spray" all over Iran.
Damn that ramen noodle tree. That just busted me up - scared my neighbors. Meh, they already think I'm crazy.
Those eyesores were kinda comforting.
We all have to do our bit for the planet. I have a gas bbq. You wanna borrow?
You betcha!
Sup, dawg. We heard you have problems with geeks.
GET THE FUCK OFF OUR LAWN.
Not even a "sup, dawg" joke?
It's just you. Read it again. :-)

With all due respect, you also are an idiot. The post I was responding to makes clear the context in which the term "harmful" was used.
You misspelled "rootkits".

So throw down the specific requirements for the fossil to convince you, and we'll see if your statement even makes any sense at all.
You idiot. More "harmful" mutations would get passed down less, because they are harmful to propagation.
I'm normal, but all the people in my group, batshit crazy - makes sysadmins look sane.
