When you're standing 2 metres away from someone, and they say "hey, what are you doing now?", do you reply "did you mean 0.0000000066712819 seconds ago?"
I haven't done any of those things, but the Lions Club I'm in had its major annual fundraiser last night. We spent Monday and Tuesday evenings setting up chairs and tables, then worked our asses off last night. Most of the money we raised will probably go to dog guides and/or a camp for dialysis patients.
Your honor, I'm a chimpanzee. Your scientists saw me stacking stones and then hiding them and so they sent me to law school. Your world frightens and confuses me! When someone sends me a text message on my iPhone I wonder, "are there tiny people inside typing it?" I don't know. But I do know this: when someone like my client slips and falls on the sidewalk in front of a public library, he is entitled to two million dollars in compensatory damages and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.
Yeah, if I wanted to use a browser that was exactly like Chrome, I'd just install Chrome.
Right now it seems that every time a new Firefox version is released, the first thing I do is go to about:config to see what settings have had their default values changed so I can set them back to what I'm used to.
740kHz? Sounds great if you're making eMPty3's for your iPod.
I use at least 1.48MHz, 256-bit. And even then I can tell it's digital. It just doesn't have the warmth and rich sound of vinyl or that mix tape I made in 1993.

PCM audio?! Oh, my ears are bleeding! No, it'll be 64 synchronized turntables (MONO, of course) for the analog warmth you can only get from vinyl.
That's funny, the damage doesn't look as bad from out here.
So can anyone, it's called rigor mortis.

Am I allowed to use my Arduino now?

Is that you, Guillaume?

Thanks! Seems like a good resource for porn and warez, although it looks like I have most of it already.
(Anyone else remember when warez.slashdot.org resolved to 127.0.0.1?)
Yes, but he can assure you that nearly all of them are in the good ol' United States of America!
That's Hedley!
I'm going to download it.
But Einstein's birthday is best!
Yeah, what would a guy named xiphmont know about signal processing?!
I'm pretty sure if Project Gutenberg goes away, the content will still be on my hard drive.
There's a bunch that probably no one's ever heard of here.
It can't be that expensive, it's one of the few pieces of software I actually paid for.
You can't tell the difference between a $3500 Blu-Ray player and a $500 Blu-Ray player either.

Oh, you couldn't be more wrong! The rotating platter will smear the zero bits, causing them to look like ones to the DAC.
I'm afraid the only proper way to store digital audio is on punch cards.
Spell TekSavvy right and link to it so others can bask in its awesomeness!

No wonder this circuit failed. It says "Made in Japan".
If they're doing realtime video or multitrack audio, then they can probably afford the faster drive.
I remember being more nostalgic in the past. Those were good times.
