You don't find them, you need to attract them, by having a business that offers
it's employees interesting things to do in a nice environement, and a set of
intelligent people that the new superstar gets along with...
Superstars probably tend to end up at superstar companies, and that's why
superstar companies are superstar companies - dull coders works for, and
akes up the dull companies.
I wouldn't care if the "new internet" is highly censored, controlled and governed by tough international rules laws and security restrictions - as long as I can switch on the good old internet 1.0 aka the "anarchy net". Bank affairs and work goes through Internet 2... pr0n, IRC chatting, Quake playing, warez hunting and wikileaks reading goes through internet 1.
Too bad for those who must, by some reason, use Mathematica... It is probably the biggest mystery of a software of all times, for instance, the code syntax used are unique to Mathematica and a complete mess, it doesn't make sense at all and reminds me of no other language. Wolfram Is also the evil empire I have heard, treating their customers incredibly inappropriate. I used Mathematica for a project... I ended up wanted to smash my keyboard mainy due to the idiotic-style coding and the general moron-behavior of Mathematica's front end... then I tried Maple - and since then I'll never touch Mathematica again. Avoid Mathematica at all cost - use Maple or some free alternative.
Human kind is a fucking joke. We gladly accept spending our resources on destroying resources. Hay a 100000 dollar bomb! boom. Ah! we destoyed a $10000000 building at the same time we destroyed our $100000 bomb! and we killed 20 people! who cost the iraqi taxpayers $100000000 toghether in education! What an archivement! Lets bomb another building! and so on...
That's humanity, we will probably never find intelligent life in the universe, maybe intelligent life has found us - but don't want anything to do with us... ET: "Look at them... they are insane *ET laughter* - they prefer killing and destroying themselves instead of expanding their horizons and explore the universe, they obviously don't want our help..." - *ufo woosh*.
I'm into dance music production and in techno/house genres, vinyl is the ruling media, it just sounds fatter, warmer and... feels better... and it really IS the choice of hardcore audiophiles. In contrary to CD's, the sound quality coming from a vinyl recording depend on various external things (other than your speakers, room or ear goo state). The needle used matter, (purist techno DJs and audiophiles spend insane amount of money on their pickups, a good needle can really improve the sound) The quality of the actual vinyl print matters a lot, for example the number of imprinted revolutions with respect to the vinyl size, if we imprint 100 revolutions on a 12" disc, the soundquality is generally improved compared to imprinting 500 revolutions. Further, the quality of the overall manufacturing process and the vinyl material used matter. Further, remember that technology is advancing within the field of vinyl record making and playback, it has improved since the day CDs were born, today vinyl sounds better than ever.
Putting the nyuist theorem into the discussion doesn't really make sense, since It only applies to sampled sound. However, all recordings imprinted on vinyls nowadays usually come from a digital source, often the source waveform is of a higher sample rate and bit depth than used in the CD format. Usually we start at 24bit/96 Khz, and depending on the vinyl making process and playback situation, this higher dynamic range may be preserved. In a CD, it is always lost since we quantize down to 16bit. Higher dynamic range *make* a difference. In an A/B test between 24/16 bit, you "feel" the difference than actively hear it. Since human ear has definitely a far greater dynamic range than "16bit", its hard to say this does not matter, as can be the case with the sample rate. (As has been said, human ears are bandlimited to ~ 10hz-20Khz depending on the time you have spent on rock concerts without ear muffling and the amount of smelly goo present in your ears, imagine if they were not, and you could hear frequencies to the Ghz range up to air pressure variations at the speed of light... you would be a living radio/cell phone reciever and probably go completely insane and kill yourself, or live in the "heroes" show...)
To sum it up, depending on the circumstances - vinyl sound quality today is equal to or better that CD quality, and vinyl sound will most likely improve as tech does. And what do you prefer? a big 12" cover artwork of your fav band and a black shiny thing that smells nice, is completely unique and cannot really be duplicated... or a sloppy piece of cheap 12 cm plastic that only displays your geeky face when you look at it, coming with with a CD sized artwork booklet?
You can also scratch, backspin, change playback speed and do other fun stuff with your vinyl, this makes you cool (like grandmaster flash). Trying to scratch your CD or play it backwards is likely to be a bad idea.
