it seems to me that any real-wrold recording is going to miss some of the acoustic frequencies, as the medium can only catch so much. However, what it does catch one might imagine as pebble-drop-ripples moving toward the edge of a plane of water (which when it gets to the edge, it 'crops' the ripple rather than reverberating it). Visually observing this phenomenon our brain can extrapolate what would happen beyond the edge of the plane. I presume acoustically our brain can do the same thing with recorded sound - 'holographing' in the stuff that it extrapolates should be there. Whereas with this simulated methan rain recording, the simulation has been designed to 'fit' the acoustic space of the recording - I PRESUME. All of this falls apart if the engineers considered something like this already.
I think it is this 'extrapolation space' that we hear in a live recording that makes it more convincing than a simulation

· Score: 1, Flamebait
If I had mod points I would mark your post as flamebait. Your arguement of credibility is pointless - the author of the blog has expressed an opinion, and in his declared ownership of the work credit can be assigned. You (and all of the others who mod'ed you "Insightful") may disagree with his opinion, or with his publishing methods, but what is online at Download Aborted is indeed his point of view, and what is being reported on by the Slashdot editors, and discussed in this forum, is that point of view.
Does this sound to anyone else as causing similar problems as reported by a study from the UK (reported here on/.) about cel phone usage in trains raising the ambient radiation levels about those deemed safe by regulatory committees? When the waves are 'blocked' I get the sense that they're reflected back into the space. Probalby makes for a stronger signal, but you'll also get radiation build-up, and perhaps focusing effects - where you'll get small spaces where there will be a literal 'hot spot.' Everyone could go and set their food on the left corner of the third filing cabinet from the end of Dave's cubicle for a few minutes to heat it up before lunch......
There's another company that does this same thing, but the keyboard is bigger. A friend of mine swears it's the coolest thing, but that's the closest thing ot a review I can give you
Well, though this will likely fall toward the Socially Flamebait Realm I'd suggest that your friend had a basis for his beliefs, even if he was not able to distinguish when to suspend disbelief. The CIA does smuggle heroin - in the same wayt hat the British government used ot smuggle tobacco after they initially outlawed it following its introduction to the area. The public consumption of heroin, particularly it's 'street' derivatives causes a great a deal of physical and emotional pain within families where abuse and rape can occur with fews checks. And n thoughts, it has been shown scientifically that thoughts and emotions can cause electrical manifestations in the body's field detectable an excess of 30 ft away (see "Beyond Telepathy").
So if your friend stumbled onto the knowledge that the U.S. government oversees heroin imports which cause young girls to be raped - and that he supports this through his taxes or other participation in the system, then he may come to internalize this to his own sense of self and fear the unavoidable scutiny of his peers since, whether they realize it or not, they can all feel the effects of his thoughts. (and when they look at him weird because of his body language it only aggrivates that posture)
I'll not speculate as to how many of these specific details your friend may have come to know, but sub-consciously (at least) he would have an awareness of them. Smoking a fair bit of marijuana will also open up one's free-association skills, and coupled with his disposition toward schizophrenic behaviour, could have been a large factor in his break-down. I would even go so far as to suggest that if he were to repattern that 'circuit' that set him off he may be able to go off meds and work toward interna stabilization. Pity T. Leary was burned as a public spectacle despite success in his research...
wish your friend luck for me, please. I feel with courage he can do it on his own. The meds may be working for him because it's the first time he looked at consciousness alterating substances as healing/medical rather than party substances....
In relation to Parkinsons, Alzheimers, Cancer, etc see my other post in this thread. I assert these diseases are the result of psychological and emotional habits. There is a wealth of information to support these ideas. You may look into Wilhelm Reich, thoguh there are certainly less controversial sources, if you hankles are easily raised.
I see that if we continue that line of thought and develop it through scientific research that we may see the appearance of a new class of genetic/formative diseases that we can only cure through this research.
If stem cell research isn't done, people will continue to suffer from alzheimers, will continue to die from many many diseases that could be cured were this research allowed.
Alzheimers, which has almost unarguably been linked to chronic metals poisoning. The cure in this case is stop the metals poisoning in the first place - not create a cure for metals poisoning after it has occurred. This is the better solution even at the utilitarian position because it is more efficient. "A stitch in time saves nine"
Instead the idea that we can cure the ailments of tons of people....
What kinds of ailments are these, exactly? I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm interested in the nature of these ailments. My only experience with situations where someone would need an organ replacement is where they continually exposed themselves to something so toxic it caused organ damage. Or where an infant is born premature... from drug consumption by her mother. What are the situations not based on negligence where this form of therapy is needed?
I find it interesting that my posted was labeled Offtopic when so many comments reply and adding to my thread were modded up - especially in light of my cited references. I also think it's sad that both of my reply'ers seemed to criticise me on thigs I never said or implied.
Did you know people are stupid enough to buy bottled water when they have clean tap water?
Did you know people are stupid enough to think that tap water is clean when it is not? Did you know that EPA reulations allow a small ( < ~10%) percent of homes to be furnished with water that exceeds contamination levels by any degree
Well, you do now.
That means the water coming from your tap could have carcinogens, and/or lead levels 100+ times greater than standards allow - and there's nothing you could do except stop using your water....
My undergrad advisosr's daughter patented a bottle nipple for premature and underdeveloped infants that would not suckle. The 'nipple' emits an odor that is largely vanilla, as this is the smell of breast milk. It's no wonder while it would be calming to people!
'course, the CIA dn KGB have been doing research on such for years. It was part of the CIA's experiments with LSD. There's a fair bit of things that can affect you with crossing your perception threshold....
So we can all remember how long it took before this 'limit' was worked around. Articles like this seem like such poor tech journalism to me. Every time there's a limit we eventually discover a way to push it further or circumvent it altogether. I feel such articles should be written less sensationally.
"One of the first things printed in mass-form after the Bible....."
this satement would seem to contradict the notion that porn is that driving force of technology. That religion is the driving force of technology is not so unbelievable - science is itself a kind of religion, one that has supplanted (to many) the 'mystical' religion of the shamen. And science has 'created' technology - and certainly drives it. Most tech comes from the ivory tower of academia, the training ground of the scientific religion. Sexual drive has, in most religions, been the underdog/dark side. Lucifer in Christianity; absenance has long been a holi practice, even in shamanic cultures. Control of the sexual function is at the root of most religions, and the antithesis of most religions is that free and unrestrained expression of that drive. Even in sciences it is stated that unchecked growth is a fundamental hazard.
I almost feel like this is a chicken/egg argument.... Shamanism had the market cornered for Visioning practices (psychedelics et al), which has popularly been supplanted by visualization technology. There is more......
This information on crop circles is correct - the effect has been happening for hundreds (if not thousands of years). Just because someone goes on TV/book/media and says that they're the 'culprit' does not make them the origin of all phenomenon. (it's almost the equivalent people wondering where the Earth came from, and the I go on TV and telling everyone I made the Earth. Doesn't mean I did it...)
the truly scientifically unexplained crop circles are formed within an hour, have high levels of radiation in the soil of their patterns, and the plants involved have unbroken stem sheaths. These plants continue to grow healthily after the circle has formed. Artificial Crop Circles have been made by breaking the stalks, pushing the plants to the ground. Most of these plant die afterward. Quite sad.
The student has learned all manners of rules and systems - they should be able to wrap their mind around another. Etiquitte or other forms of social conduct code can be quite exciting. Asiastic codes of conduct, such as those of the samuari or Tai Chi player (see Chen Man'Ching, Ben Lo or Jou Tsung Hwa) can teach important social fundaments while exciting the student's learning faculty - and building the physical body.
Even if the Asiatic martial-social coupling is not for them, there are other indigenous forms, as well as those of the 'desert peoples' and medieval codes of conduct.
Perhaps they need a good healthy dose of mythology, which teaches many of these lessons through stories.
If this does produce fusion then it should also produce some heat.
Why are heat and light inseperable? Pardon if this is a 'basics' question, but even at first glace thermal (IR) wavelengths and visible light wavelengths are close to each other on the spectrum, but not identical.
