"The process starts with a hacker sending a convincing email, a message advising me to change my Twitter password, with a link to a fake Twitter site."
the main idea is that in the chain source-amp-speakers-air-ear
the worst offenders are the speakers
one could raise a point saying that ears (and the air, perhaps, haven't done any measurements or even *seen* any) are even worse (psychoacoustics etcetcetc) but since we can't do anything about it we ignore them
how does graduation, or fornication, affect perception of sound?
ever since i constructed the 200 L, 12" full-range speakers, i can hear details i could never hear before. MP3? screw that, i can tell if a cd has been properly recorded. metal? pointless. pop? even more so. it sounds clear and perfect, but it is like artificial food flavoring. Acoustic jazz (no electric guitar, eg)? yes. full orchestra? sweet sweet fulfillment.
I had sex 10 years ago for the first time and graduated high school 15 years ago, fwiw.
in relation to this topic, i am thinking of getting a turntable, see if the filters on DACs' outputs have any effect on stereo imaging (and for the first time in my life, excepting binaural audio which in itself is a *revelation*, i understood what it means, because you have to place your head in centimeter-exact position).
not easy to translate greek in other languages, especially by people who do not understand greek. They mostly transliterated, they did not translate. iirc the original word was ÏαÏμαÎÎÏÏ? In that case a rough translation is "the one who poisons".
I think the greatest mistake in the history of computing is microsoft releasing a stupid OS for a multitasking-multiuser capable cpu (286). It became ridiculously popular and the desktop computer managed to make the leap and go multitasking (amongst other things) more than a decade later, which, in computer terms, is longer than forever.
Yeah, but this time, the ISA is complete, the *actual hardware* though doesn't exist and it is not very likely it will change a lot (besides bugs and optimisations, i would guess).
so the design exists, the software is ready for it (as ready as it can be, considering that only the specification exists) but a hardware instance doesn't yet exist.
Sorry i can't describe it any more accurate, english is not my mother tongue.
the MOST IMPORTANT thing that you are missing is that games on the pc are largely singlethreaded, that is why the fourcore i5 is slightly better choice for a gaming rig than the 8350
however, this move by sony will force developers to actually USE the eight cores of the amd64 cpu in order to get performance out of the 2GHz eight-core cpu

so, in short, be careful with your password.
why do i have this suspicion that the whole bitcoin is some elaborate, very drawn out, convoluted, mutated version of a pyramid scheme?
You would do well to read the article just a bit more carefully
It can use the sensors to launch coordinated attacks. Not just deploy when it hears a certain sound.
on the other hand, i can't imagine astronauts being so picky with their coffee. Or if drinking is a good idea, being an astronaut.
maybe my mind is still 50 years back.
could you give some examples about what you say in the second paragraph?

ignore the DAC the amp the source and everything... ...except the speaker drivers themselves. even the best in the world are wildly non-linear.
and then there's the air between your ears and the speakers
another non-linearity
Best source? .0001% THD. best amp? .0001% THD. Speakers? 1% THD haha good luck.

they'll reply "god isn't 'somebody', he is god"
That's why i initially said it's a flawed way to keep a site up.

Must be one of the few times in history where the software was ready to run before the actual hardware existed.
is not the manufacturing. it's "working" it.
it is not art. it is not gaming. it is a business.
Wow, that's lame...
I, as many others I'm sure, expected this to be a "proper" linux port for devices that previously ran the whole android deal.

you can imagine what this means for pc gaming.
he was downmodded for the attitude, not the information.
if a person can't keep their cool during a discussion they annoy me. I suspect you don't see it very differently.
fair enough... ... no connectivity either, or at least tightly controlled connectivity.
AAAAAAAAGH!!!
... why are mission critical devices connected to the internet
sure we know that the weakest link is the meatware, not the hardware, but still...
the stalker game series: all game scripting and i think even the ai of npcs is in lua.
"modifying software written in C is hard for users."
i thought *users* had no business writing device drivers?
of course if they had said "modifying software written in C is hard for programmers." it would gather a fierce shitstorm.
all that matters is that he is a good drummer, even ignoring his disability.
There is something that distinguishes musicians from one another, it can be phrasing, timing, whatever. This time is number of arms.
