"I'm looking at its wave patterns and there are at least six very strong harmonics in there. It would sound really horrible to notch these out - if one coincides with the vowel sound e, you won't be able to hear the -es in the commentary. It would sound unnatural."
"They can also change the balance between crowd noise and the commentary box, as these have separate mics."
Couldn't you then just apply the notch filters to the crowd mics ?
Or just add a cancelling signal? On another subject, does snake oil dull one's hearing?
On commercial channels, the broadcast is about delivering viewers to the advertisers, not football to the viewers. That's why in England''s first match ITV cut to advertisements about 3 minutes into the match, meaning that English viewers didn't get to see England's first goal of the tournament.
Also, I suspect there is a single feed for the coverage (can someone confirm?) so a video producer needs to be extra confident before interrupting the feed to however many networks to show a replay that might overrun the play that makes the game.
According to the Complete Oxford English Dictionary:
"tweet, n. and int. An imitation of the note of a small bird. Also repeated."
"Hence tweet v. trans., to utter in this way, to twitter; also transf." [my emphasis]
It's been standard English since the middle of the 19th century. With variant spellings it goes back at least as far as the 16th century.
If you're thinking of "Scouser", it's the term for somebody from Liverpool. I don't think it's ever used in anything but it's factual sense. Whether that's abusive depends on what you think of coming from Liverpool. Me, I'm Scouse and proud of it.
But I'm a vegetarian, you insensitive clo... oh, wait: "the smell of charcoal and black pepper". That's ok, then. Says something about their BBQ skills, doesn't it?
Simply, a "story" is just what happens; with a plot the emphasis is on why it happens. A plot has more focus on causality. As E M Forster observed, "‘The king died and the queen died’ is a story. ‘The king died and then the queen died of grief’ is a plot."
I think the no confidence voters have been a bit slow to get their message out, the BCS has already sent out shiny information packs explaining why you should vote for them (I abstained due to this information shortage). I voted no about scrapping the rule of 50 members for a vote of no confidence though, seems like a nice democratic safeguard to me.
Yes, presumably the BCS (ie, our) resources are being used to put out the material opposing the original motion, whereas those who called the EGM probably don't have the resources for a publicity campaign. The key issue seems to be one of financial transparency, with suspicion of irregularities.
And I wouldn't have my job if I were not a member of the BCS. I think the English speaking world has a problem with the distinction between technicians and engineers. The BCS is an engineering institution, and is relevant to jobs in IT engineering, but most IT jobs are technician jobs.
CEng: Chartered Engineer (awarded by a chartered engineering body, probably the IET in this case)
More likely awarded by the BCS, since he's a Fellow of the BCS and only a Member of the IET. It's impossible to tell, though. If he were a Fellow of both or a Member of both then he should put the awarding membership first, but I think the rule about listing Fellowships before Memberships overrides that rule.

Advertisers, on the other hand, don't seem to be particularly bothered.
And you only ever get one sounding at a time, right?
If they want the US to look into alternative energy try getting the government to sign and ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
The USA signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998. Ratification is a different matter.
As far as I can see, the Saudi's don't need to be able to manage. They can afford to pay somebody to do that for them.
Which is mainly a Saudi company nowadays.
You're probably surfing the more -- er -- specialised stuff, then.
I think the solution was aimed at those who don't flick quite so often between porn and work as you evidently do.
I don't think you understand what "standard English" is.
Tweet is not standard English, at least not yet.

Read the rest of the thread.
And resources. Don't forget resources.
Some of the relatively localised ones were pretty damn bad, too. Cambodia, for instance.
Well, a meat cleaver is a lot harder to go on a killing spree with than a gun.
You mean like these?
It just so happens that we're apparently civilised now, and no longer foist our religion upon others.
True. Which is why in the 20th century, which arguably saw the worst wars in history, almost all of the bloodshed was for reasons other than religion.

You don't need a CS degree for normal everyday business programming either.
