It makes sense to me That they would create a new OS. Have you ever read their Privacy Policy? Common http://www.samsung.com/us/comm.... I have a SamSung_HDTV_32F6300AFXZA It's a Smart TV and lots of bells and whistles as a TV or media player, but I only use it as a computer monitor due to the Privacy Policy. Which is different than the common one, and the third one you have to agree to while setting up a HDTV.
I do take the time to read privacy policies and ToS's, of all of them SamSung's shows them as being one hell of a data collecton agency; I had thought Rovio.com (Angry Birds) was bad, it's mild in comparison. I also have a Samsung phone and knew of there policies up front, there are two play stores Google and Samsung's, I won't install anything from Samsungs. The phone is loaded with clouds and social sites, which they any collect data you post, replies, and stored items; a HDTV every keystroke or remote key pressed is recorded and kept stored, there is also the ability to add a web cam for Gestures. You know so when you yell at the kids waving your arms around the HDTV goes spastic, and Xbox was shouted out of doing the same thing.
The policies if you really read them come into full effect when you sign into Samsung.com which one has to do for support like drivers and anything else needed to "add to your (item here)'s experience". Kies for a Samsung Phone that is the utility to back up, and transfer items with; while every other company has it readily available, you have to sign in to for. While Kies isn't really required let alone needed, most don't know that.
One line states that Samsung and it's affiliates can access your equipment and collect whatever they want, and at any time; one can opt out of one collection site but you won't get AD's that relate to you (I laughed).
The Privacy Policy I read long before the phone or TV states if you have legal issues with Samsung, they claim jurisdiction in some province in South Korea, which you have previously agreed to.
Samsung is much like Google in that they collect everything, yet you use them.
Seems like Android phones can outspec the iPhone in every way, including megapixels, but none that I've seen have the image quality of the iPhone camera. It's quite embarrassing how good of pictures my friends with iPhones can actually get. Mine are always noisy and blurry. Even with the LED flash. What's crazy is that even Sony, who makes the camera and camera chipset for Apple cannot even get a camera as good on their Android phones. What am I missing?
I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 through T-Mobile. It was it's camera that sold me, 16.9 Mpix and it does indeed take great pictures. The rest I would post about the S5 wouldn't be praise for it's other abilities.
What are you missing? HDR mayhaps? HDR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., adds a lot to this quality, as without the setting pictures don't come out as well. Its only restriction I've found is if a light is in anywhere in the picture, it throws HDR off and ones better off turning HDR off.
I've used HDR on a tablet and it did the same thing, great pictures even at 5 Mpix; it was a play store add on and I was sold on the first shot using it's setting.
The graph doesn't show a specific time for (t), I don't know why you would conclude it's a full second.
Read the table under "Audio Sampling > Sampling Rate," you can see telephone is 8000Hz (samples per second), not 8Hz. For CDs it's 44,100 samples per second.
"Not a reproduction as one was missing the other 92 points" Other 92 points? There's no set limit of 100 anywhere, you can sample as fast or slow as you like. Once per second or a million times per second, and nothing will be missing as long a you meet the Nyquist limit for your signal spectrum.
It's not enough to read about it, you have to read and understand!
I did read it and saw the increased sampling rate, not to of posted it wouldn't of been right. What I was getting at was if you connect the sampling "points" you will come up with a graph.
I understood sampling when CD's first came out and defended vinyl by CD's very nature.
I honestly don't download much music, I found MTV right after it came on the air, it was always on 24/7; now preferring youtube videos of music I like much more (even at low resolutions).
I do have a mess of them (songs) on a hard drive I purchased at Good Will, whoever put it together grabbed about any artist you can think, of sadly lots of cRAP. I was just after the hard drive the songs/music was a hell of a bonus.
So not able to get into a discussion of recording of the music as time has progressed, just the fact it's sampled and not a true wave form.
A certain irreducible background incidence of cancer is to be expected regardless of circumstances
I think you have mutations and cancer confused. If cancer was a unavoidable fact then we would not have creatures like the naked mole rat that does not EVER
get cancer. I remember hearing that sharks don't get cancer either, but they are not being used in labs to study why they don't get cancer like the naked mole rat is, so it is perhaps less of a scientific fact and more conjecture.
I came across another one following links on the/. article of possible life on mars, killing time research of mine came across this article of a life form that hasn't changed for 3 million years, so no mutation nor cancer which is a mutation (in cancers case, a cell reproduced wrong, and of no benefit).
I kinda doubt that telomeres are the key to aging. Rather, I think they are strictly a method for preventing cancer. Instead, I think that something is happening to cause a decline in the number of stem cells in the body as you get older, likely something to do with NAD.
As unscientifically as possible and no cite to really get your questions going (but I'd search/.):
There is (call it a rod) in each cell, each time the cell divides this rod loses a bit of length.
Say this rod is half the size it started at, then you are at half of your life (age).
If this rod shorting can be stopped a longer life should be a result.
Really get to know someone, I've taken many. One a year while working in the nuclear field (a requirement).
The problem that's surfacing is it's biased towards the standard white American (ie: there is no Mexican version, even it's text is in English). This even outside of the nuclear field.
A certain irreducible background incidence of cancer is to be expected regardless of circumstances: mutations can never be absolutely avoided, because they are an inescapable consequence of fundamental limitations on the accuracy of DNA replication, as discussed in Chapter 5. If a human could live long enough, it is inevitable that at least one of his or her cells would eventually accumulate a set of mutations sufficient for cancer to develop. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bo...
Ahh yes. Wish I had mod points for you. I ran a BBS too for a while back in high school - on a Commodore 64 using CNET. Had a couple of 1541 floppy drives and an SFD 1001 (1 MB, baby!).
Be darn, never ran a Commodore (one of the few) but Cnet was my BBS software for the Amiga's, one of the best BBS programs out at the time.
Cnet could pull in newsgroups and was getting ready for the Internet by having a cookie.txt file that did nothing, just in place. It was his wifes chocolate chip cookie recipe.
You would do well to read the article you linked. Nobody samples audio at 8Hz-- you couldn't reproduce anything over 4Hz at that rate.
I had read it, 20 samples would be for phones it was for the graph alone. I've always pirated my stuff and never had a problem, it was when everybody started downloading music it became one - I don't download music. 20 was the example I used when CD's first came out and it's what I've run with.
My entire music collection at the time is still on reel to reel tapes, not sure how long they last but got some good stuff waiting. I had cassettes I could of used but wanted the best reproduction I could get.
Depends when the tape hails from, and in particular, what it's made of. Tape made between 1975 and 1994 used a synthetic replacement for whale oil that was later found to decay and causes the tape to shed goo all over the transport. This can be fixed if you need to recover the audio.
Tape made before that period should be good, from 1995 onwards they switched to a new formulation which seems to be holding up so far. Oh, note that Maxell tape continued to use whale oil so it isn't prone to this failure mode.
If the tape is shedding, it can be recovered by baking it using a food dehydrator. Look up "sticky shed syndrome" for more details.
Thanks for the tip, the tape would of been made prior to 1994.
I've been power cycling mine for years and it just keeps on going. I've never lost my settings, especially not the password I set.
You both must be doing more with your router then I am to be needing to re-setup the router every week.
Firewall was asking for access from different IP's while playing full screen games; so I reset my old router. My Charter.com DNS server.1 should be "Primary DNS: 24.196.64.53" https://www.whatsmydns.net/dns... my router shows what has been my dynamic address.1 and my dynamic address.2 as my DNS servers.
The router claims what has been the proper setup as invalid, my dynamic address being DNS as being valid; who am I to argue, it's working. Yet my IP address is of a different nature (it's always started with a 7 and sometimes never changed), not now.
It's been claimed Comcast was buying out Charter (shutter!) this may be the start.
The occasional sonic boom from fighters breaking the sound barrier, it has been years since I heard that while I was on land.
Lived near an Air Base a lot of time, never know when one was coming. I think it was the SST that had the sonic boom stopped, they didn't want it booming every time it flew over and it took nation wise.
Many years ago I did hear a sonic boom in a remote area and surprised, but more so when a cop pulled, drew his gun on me ordering me out of the car, he had thought I was shooting a gun. Apparently he had never hard one before.
Had to laugh. The TV is always on yet I never notice while at the computer but METV runs the old series, BatMan Vs Mr Freeze is on right now. and no I never cared for it when it was first out.
The very characteristic rattle of a motion picture projector--most familiar from 16 mm projectors in classrooms or 8 mm projectors showing home movies, but also faintly audible in many movie theatres. Probably around 1900 to 1980 or so.
The whine of a reel-to-reel tape recorder rewinding, rising in pitch as the diameter of the remaining tape decrees, followed by the dramatic snapping noise as the end of the tape comes off the reel. 1945 to 1990 maybe.
My entire families history are on projector slides, so many to scan in the future.
My entire music collection at the time is still on reel to reel tapes, not sure how long they last but got some good stuff waiting. I had cassettes I could of used but wanted the best reproduction I could get.
I always knew that one day I'd no longer be able to know a CRT was in the room from the high-pitched flyback transformer sound, but I always expected it would be because of my own loss of high-frequency hearing. But the CRT pretty much disappeared before that. Length of time: less than the telephone.
Yep I lost that frequency of my hearing, people would complain of the noise a CRT was making. I couldn't hear it, but I could fix it by increasing the resolution of the monitor. Then had to ask if it was gone.
Or the lazy. I replace and reset my routers often enough that remembering to change the defaults can get tedious. Things like this remind me to be more careful.
My router is the same way, having to reset it every few days, in fact it's down now and I've firewall protection alone, while not having access to Netflix.
When I get around to resetting it once again (a 7 second process + reboot time), I'll load a.cfg file I saved when it was working just fine, alone with it's different password.
I'd replace it with my ASUS RT-AC66U Router but it's a bear to do using the 30-30-30 second hard reset every time it's not being seen; I gave up the last time, and I read here it's got security problems itself.
I was going to reply to your post a few days ago, but I couldn't figure out what the hell you were talking about.
Now I come back freshly rested, and I still can't figure out what the hell you're talking about. "8 points of sound per second?"
What the hell are you talking about??
See what I meant, very few know about sampling.
An album is produced, to put it on a CD 8 samples or selections of that album's sound/music is selected for the CD per second. That was when they first came out I think the sampling is a bit higher now.
At 8 samples per second, your only getting 8 selections, think of it as being like a graph, instead of a continuous wave which vinyl would produce.
Fsck all those people that are the reason we can't have (keep) any nice things.
I had someone come in and take my Motorola XOOM tablet, it was rooted, and 4.2 thanks to hackers who did what Motorola said wasn't possible.
I found who took it so called 911, an officer called me asking what I wanted him to do about it, I said to shoot em. It was taken as it was meant to of been, and they checked it out, still no word.
