  1. Re:Solution on Why Biking Injuries and Deaths Are Spiking In the US · · Score: 1

    Exactly what we have here. Yet, 2 bikers went on a head to head collision and one died. So we would need 2 separated bike lanes, one for each direction. separated by a fence. Let's face it, nowadays people can't concentrate on something for more than 10 seconds, how can you expect them to be able to drive a bike.

    I am looking at you, smartphones, sms, tweeter, facebook.

    These days, almost nobody has enough concentration to fully read a man page or an email more than 10 lines long.

    Unfortunately my computer turned itself off after I counted to one-thousand-5, 5 seconds. What an unfortunate bummer...

    I am going to try again but if I don't succeed, is there any other way to reproduce the dislike button behavior you are describing?

    I am really eager to use that new functionality you just taught me.

    Thank you in advance,

  5. Re:behind? on Despite Triage, US Federal Cybersecurity Still Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily, TFS doesn't talk about how good US agencies hackers are to break into the adversary systems. US could have problems defending its systems and still be good in breaking into others.

    So it is the same for US when they wish to break into some system, all they have to do is find one hole. This makes all sides equal.

    A team with a poor defensive and a strong offensive can still win the game.

  15. Re:Vinyl on Apple Music and the Terrible Return of DRM · · Score: 1

    Makes me think, do you know what they put behind those horns back then?

  16. Re:Vinyl on Apple Music and the Terrible Return of DRM · · Score: 1

    Same setup here except for the horn-loaded speakers. I found that the sound was better with dome tweeters without a horn. 3 way bass-reflex with conic bass and midrange and dome tweeter. Electrostatic speakers were interesting too although expensive.

    Horn-loaded speakers prevailed when you went above, say, 150 W RMS. They seem to be a must in all concerts. I have never seen a dome tweeter in those contexts.

    Then again, I hear that horns are hard to tune so maybe I just listened to crappy horn-loaded speakers back then ;-)

    Cheers,

  17. Re:Vinyl on Apple Music and the Terrible Return of DRM · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine bought a Nakamichi cassette recorder for 2000$ in 1985. It used to play and record just about as well as my reel to reel tape recorder that I bough for half that price.

  18. Re:Vinyl on Apple Music and the Terrible Return of DRM · · Score: 1

    Depends on the speed you are recording at. I used to use Scotch Classic tape and record at 3.75 in/s for even longer play time. You could go up to 15 and even 30 in/s but my toshiba tape recorder was doing 7.5 in/s max if I remember correctly.

    Whatever tape I used degraded over time, hence keep the vinyl as a master copy and re-record it.
