This is provably useless to anyone who has done any basic signal theory.
24 bit gives a SNR of 144dB. How many people have mikes and/or baffles with such a quality ? 24bit is useless unless maybe for processing, in order not to lose significant digits, but that should be in pure software. Case dismissed.
Your ears filter out anything above 20kHz. Make it 24 kHz for the so called golden ears. Therefore according to nyquist anything above 48 kHz is useless. Case dismissed

Soundcard manufacturers just don't want you to buy an el cheapo 10$ soundcard, basically the only added value since the SB16 is some extra voices, but that extra bits/samples per second are PR BS.
One of my coworkers had an interesting idea though. He was considering signing up with the California Highway Patrol. It seems like a good plan. Officers make over $50k a year for entry level, get tons of benefits (like $3000 a year for meals), extra perks/pay for specialized skills (such as piloting or even bilingual), and there is a real growth opportunity.
Plus they get to wear tight, packet moulding pants.
You don't shoot a king. Especially not when 50pc of the population is ultra catholic and wants him back. As for a government, he didn't have one, Belgium was under a German occupation administration.
Fuck you. I demand your sincere apologies on behalf of my grandmother. My grandmother was in the Resistance. She lost many friends. Granted it was in Belgium, but if there hadn't been a French resistance I would know. And YES, I do know most French were singing "Marechal nous voila".
5) It was a myth created by degaulle after the war to help fuel french nationalism.
Fuck you again. Ever heard of Casablanca ? It was not filmed after the war I believe, but in 1942. Was Viktor Laszlo a unicyclist ? Was he a newspaper boy ?
Thank you. I hadn't read that far in Churchill's "The second World War". You gave me the occasion. According to the Wikipedia, the English attacked French territory to gain a base in North Africa. From what I read they did a defence that was hardly more than formal (hahaha surrendered ! that's so funny). That's what's you're supposed to do when your territory is attacked. The Germans were not too pleased with the surrender as they then occupied Vichy France. Did the French declare war to Brittain after Torch ? I think not. That's what's your supposed to do when you get attacked.
They did not fight on the Germans's side. They collaborated with the Germans. On no place did the Allies fight against the French. The French fleet would have been disarmed (that was the deal in the armistice protocol) had it not been sunk. Not to be used against the Allies (I do believe the Germans would have broken that agreement later). At no point did Vichy declare war upon their former ally, eventhough Churchill was at a time afraid they would. I do believe Vichy France did make the war last longer by not sabotaging the German war effort.
And then again as I mention lower, the legality of Vichy France was more than doubtful.
And then again they are not the only ones. There WAS collaboration in the Netherlands, as there WAS in Belgium (google Gallopin Doctrine), as there WAS in France. I don't know for the other countries but I don't doubt a second...
If I remember correctly, the Americans had less problems recognizing Vichy France than they had ever giving credit to De Gaulle, at least before Pearl Harbor.
hey, I've got an idea ! Let's all mock the Americans for Pearl Harbor ! That would be so funny !
You're welcome. Thank you for that norway thing.
btw that "stayed in captivity with his soldiers" meant living in his castle, marrying while breaking the law with the daughter of a collaborator (he married in the church before civil marriage, a big no no since the French revolution), going to visit Hitler, and making plans for a revised Belgium under his firm rule after the war. He could only return in 1950 and that was even so controversial he had to abdicate in favour of his more-catholic-than-the-pope son.
The dutch, belgian and polish goverment did the same btw, so I'm not bragging here. The fact remains however, that the french did not... and that the leader of the Free French - de Gaulle - was sentenced to death in absintio in Vichy France.
No, the Belgians did not. Belgium officially capitulated on may 28. The king "stayed in captivity with his soldiers" (he was the chief of the army). The government did flee to London, but was militarily powerless. The only soldiers from Belgium in the Brittish islands were volunteers (my grandfather was one of them, rode by bicycle from Charleroi to Bordeaux) who had fled illegally (in military terms). IIRC he did not fight, he just partied in Ireland for some years. The Belgian army was in captivity in Germany -after a while Flemish soldiers were freed in a German attempt to split the Flemish and Walloons against each other.
As for De Gaulle, of course he was sentenced to death. Did you expect Petain to buy him a cookie ? Technically as the Third Republic had fallen, it can be argued he was as much the legal (and legitimate) leader of France as was Petain.
This is not funny. This must be the most overrated joke ever. AYBABTU jokes are funnier. So are 12?P and ISR jokes.
There are many reasons why the French surrendered in 40. Most are wrong. For instance I think they should have transferred much logistics to England, which would have happened, hadn't Darlan gotten a nice position in the Petain puppet regime.
But remember before them the Poles, the Checks (however you write that), the Danes, the Norwegians, the Dutch, the Luxemburgers, the Belgians had surrendered -Yet you never mock them.
Days before the English HAD to go back to their island to save their ass. The Americans wouldn't enter the war (this is not a blame).
They chose to surrender and payed a very harsh prize for that in the four next years. Thousands of jews through the chimney, thousand more dead in the resistance.
The French (and the Brittish) had lost the war far before 1940, for instance by not preemptively invading Belgium. Belgium was neutral and the king with autocratic pretentions Leopold III wouldn't let them in, but everyone knows we would have let them in with no fighting. For instance by not letting Hitler invade the Rhine in 37, or to gain air parity in 36. (Hey modern day warmongers, don't try to pull a Hitler-Saddam parallel to me, I do more believe in a Bush-Saddam parallel, after all it is the USA who has the nukes, the gas payloads and it is the USA who invades foreign countries, something Saddam wouldn't do in 12 years, but I digress)
The French couldn't win the battle of France with the Brittish, I don't see how they could have won it after Dunkirk. Would England not have been an island, I'm not sure they wouldn't have been beaten too.
So stop your stupid jokes about the French surrendering. They're not funny.
