After the first layer of signals has been crunched, is the next step to map all of the spikes for patterns? I read somewhere that this was going to happen. It was predicted only a year and a half ago, that they wouldn't be even half as far along as what they are now.
This is America, where every God Fearing Bible thumper is out to let us know sex is bad. Okay, sure, I don't support child pornograhy, or illegal porn. I do not support sheltering youth from some thing that is completely natural. Yet some how religious fundamentalists feel that it is necessary to control what kids see, think and hear. In other countries, such as Europe and France, or Canada, it's completely normal to turn on prime time TV and see a full nude of a woman parading around. In the US., that doesn't fly. In the US, it's about violence. Killing is our business, and business is good. We wrap(and rap) it, sell it, promote it, and grind it in to our childrens heads that this is acceptable. If we showed them a little more T 'n A we would be showing them that there's more to life than killing. Censorship is a lose-lose situation. Either you make some one happy for a few years, or you piss a lot of people off for generations to come.
"Unlike conventional microphones, in which air pressure from sound waves moves a diaphragm to produce an electrical signal, in a ribbon microphone, a tiny piece of foil hovering between two magnets created a signal when it moved in response to air velocity."
Correct me if I'm wrong but maybe Sennhesier and Neumann have it all wrong. Because unlike conventional microphones (I'm assuming he's speaking of todays current models), evidently, as implied in his description, do not respond to air velocity.
It's like this: If we thought the steam engine were to be affordable and a viable option for mass use, then we probably would have used more widely in automobiles, etc. In the terms of Microphones, the ribbon wire was inefficient. It only captured a certain frequency bandwidth. At the time, they barely had begun to figure out that sound ran the scale from 0Hz to an infinite number. The human ear only technically hearing about 20hz to about 18kHz, Give or take, depending on your state of tonitis. So in light of better sound parameter discoveries, the need for more efficient, more accurate equipment, arose. Hence the demise of such a poor way to capture audio. Next came the Tube Microphone. Using a thin metal disk diaphragm proved to be a much more viable means of capturing a full scale of sounds. This sound, then amplified by tube, became the next generation of usable means. After the limitations were reached, they moved on to engineer the diaphragm types widely used today. The tube mic has been revisited. Mainly because of it's warmth in sound. I doubt that a ribbon mic is going to make a huge comeback, but some one might get all kinds of nostalgic over it's rebirth.
By the way, the figure eight pattern to which he refered, is called Hypercardioid. Ahhh, newbies to the audio world.
"pop up windows" God, I hope not. Two weeks ago, for three days running. In IE, I had these really annoying Finlandia Vodka Ads throwing themselves up in my face while trying to get stuff done. If I had fully snapped, may have then held them responsible for my stress level going through the roof?
Or one could look at it like a penny arcade game. Remember the old orange guns with the cable attached you'd point at the screen....
I've been running a dual boot system for the last week. Working between the two on the same system has proven to me that Linux runs better on the setup that I have. Far more stable. The processing seems to happen much faster. I have a piii 500 with a 7200 rpm 27 gig drive (fat32/win98 single partition), and a 5400 rpm 3.2 gig(3 partition, 100mb swap). I had been running on an ATA66 but that's been removed for the Red Hat 7 Install. So I think it might be at 33 onboard.
To make this long, not very technical, story short, Linux has proven it's speed and stability with the same hardware. What I find interesting i that Linux is running on the slower drive but it still runs faster.
As long as the standards are adhered to, there should be no problem. As long as those standards are just and completely valid in their requirements for adhering to them. They should not be contradicting to the nature of the Open Source.
Many belive in a shared knowledge for all. 'Take what I know, make it work for you. Don't sell it, especially if it's based on some thing I've already done, and every thing will be fine.' .
I don't care if it's your sig and you hate people replying to it, but I just laughed for five minutes about your "Chuck D" line. Mod me down, I'm in the (-) already.
"Soviet scientists estimate that about 4% of the 190 tons of uranium dioxide products escaped and began to spread unevenly across the surrounding countryside, affected by the vagaries of the weather."
And we wonder why we've had such strange weather over the course of the last deacde. The math on this equals 7.6 tons of "escaped" uranium dioxide to "spread evenly across the country side". Was that airborne in gaseous form or was it in liquid or solid form? Regardless of the clean up efforts, this is a serious amount of rampant radio-active meterial.
Not to mention they make it sound like it a Glidden paint ad when it "spread evenly". Not good.
BEAM has it down. When I took electronics in High School (circa late 80's), we experimented with simple robotics. Light sensing diodes to activate switches to result in some sort of movement. These were ceratainly a bit more dated in comparrison to todays versions but still much the same.
I like the idea of giving everyone a chance to get in to robotics on any level. This will build interest in creating them, thus creating a larger amount of people developing advancements in robotics. Building blocks for some thing further down the line.
In the terms of enabling artificial intelligence, it's hard to comprehend the implementation of an organic process with the concepts of mechanics. If there is a way to fuse the two, the results, if handled properly, could yield amazing results.
Having just been de-virginixed over this last weekend, I have found that there is so much I'd like to know about UNIX and the many incarnations. I'm afraid that not having used the OS,that I don't know how to run it like it was designed to run. I know it's really based around giving the developing mind the tools for creating, but if your like me and have never seen the likes of a single line of UNIX code(my terms give that away), then this is where the issue is for me, and maybe for others who would like to know more. Most would say go back to school. I agree, I should. I'd devote a mass chunk of time to learning what I should have learned back when my friend and I had a Commodore 64 that we messed around with.
The man docs are suited for those who have taken the painstaking time to learn everything about how to program. I, unfortunately, have not. I'm doing well if I code a whole page in HTML and don't blow it out on the first upload. So you can see where I'm at.
I've been in the computer environment for about the last 10-15 years or so. I forget what year it was when we got terminals in grade school. '84? '85?, but most of my interaction has all been in the graphic type environment. From what I understand, the GUI is not every ones favorite place to be when working on a system. I like my terminal access in Linux. It let's me know that I have the power to manipulate the system at it's core. But what the heck am I going to do when i get there?
I've been a Windows user since 3.1 and I know little dos. I have gotten so used to running installations in Windows, that when it comes to running tar or rpm file, I don't know what to do. I'm sure that the hardcores are sitting there chuckling to themselves right now chanting "newbie, newbie", but when I say this it's most like ly to get a laugh from any veteran Unix user. Is it possible to pre program installs in to the rpms and zips? to autorun upon completetion? So many files with so many different variables make it more frustrating than difficult. For a person with knowledge of enough commands to possibly "break" some thing in the process, it gets a little scary in that neck of the Woods. Or, in the cases so far, not even get them to unzip. For instance, I need to rebuild my GIMP library that I had running in windows, but I can't get the unnzip right? I've read howtos (maybe not enough) but no go. Once I get the install thing down, unzipping is mastered, and how to deal with things at/root, then I'll be ready to devote all of my time on a system to Linux. Rignt now I keep that C: drive handy just in case. But I haven't been back for four days.:-)
The UNIX concept is what originally attracted me to running it in some form eventually. Now I do. The thought of being able to customize a computer system to be able to be so personalized just blew me away. Sure you can run all the programs you want in any other OS, but it doesn't run like it does in Linux. Not to mention the whole concept behind the entire OpenSource Development. That alone is the single most reason that any one should be interested. It's a community, not a competition. The appeal of the mass spread of knowledge resources is the ultimate way to get people on the same level. If it means doing this by documenting usage in a pooled information format that a newbile like myself can grasp, then it gets my vote. Heck I'd even like to contribute to it's success by doing idiot checks.:-)

Thank You.
What about going in and re-arranging the furniture, and then leaving a note about fengshui?
As soon as they learn how to drive them, we're in trouble.

We did the same thing for the NASA article that we are supposed to be talking about.
When you clicked on that article to read it, that 80's tune fired up. You know the one..."I always feel like somebody's watching me..."

Thank you. Consider me spending this weekend getting this dialed in. I presume in six months to year, I'll look back it myself and laugh very hard.
Thanks Agian!
