I have a dumb question: Who are these people that reply to spam, making the practice profitable? If we could just identify these people, we could route around the spammers and tap into a fabulously rich energy source!
The bar is raised once again. And the writers of/stand/sysinstall will NEVER catch up.
Not with ACME installation boosters strapped to their backs! Not with Vulcan mind-melds of Stephen Hawking channeling Alan Turing! Not with Bert Rutan sending them into space! Not with Anthony Schumacher delivering a laptop down the quarter mile in under four and a half seconds! Not with Bret Favre throwing them across the Gates of Hell. Not with...
Here's a quick-and-dirty lens test you can do, without all the fancy-schmancy charts: Tape a newspaper to the wall. Shoot it square-on. Check for flatness of field, distortions, and vignetting at the edges. Shoot it at an angle, at different aperatures, to test for depth of field. Easy!
How do I use it with glasses? I'm an old man, and can't see anything closer than three feet away WITH glasses. How the heck am I going to read that tiny screen?
Thanks to all of America's veterans. You did a dirty, necessary job, and you did it well.
There was no better solution available. Even if there were, these same people would have told you how you did it all wrong. Just wait until they have their lives challenged. Watch how they start looking up to your example!
Gee, I'd like to help, but I'm old and confused and they don't let me do things here in the home that they used to. Why just the other day I was helping this young guy fix his doorbell. He said he was an engineer, but he sure wasn't as smart as the engineers that made my hearing aid, nosiree! Now, that was back in the time when you had to really know a thing or two about electricity, AC and DC it was back then. Back before those longhairs stole the name and made it into a rock and roll band. Why, what's the matter with Elvis anyway? Not loud enough for you? Back then we had amplifiers with real tubes in them. The kind that would burn your fingers when they got hot, and would send out purple sparks when you dropped your reading glasses into the chassis. Big purple and green sparks they were.....

Force equals mass times accelleration. Nobody's disproved it yet. You can take a whole lot of stuff, let's say the air underneath a helicopter's blades, and accellerate it moderately and you will get accelleration. In this case the accelleration it takes to keep the helicoopter aloft. Or, you can take a little bit of stuff, say the propellents in a rocket ship's fuel tank, and accelerate them to near-supersonic speeds (in the burning medium, local to the nozzle) and hopefully get enough reaction to loft the rocket into space.
Recap: Force from lots of stuff at slow speed equals force from less stuff at much higher speed.
But, moving less stuff at low speed is considerably more efficient, and much less noisy, which is why I doubt that anything developed on this project will have much inpact on how we get from Omaha to our vacation in Hawaii. What is notable is that the speed of the gases inducted, burned and ejected are greater than five times the speed of sound (local to the surrounding atmosphere), which is an important advancement in combustion engineering. But I don't think any of the popular reports will have much of anything to say about that, because that's boring.
Most history books will tell you that the inventor of air conditioning was Willis Haviland Carrier. This is not true, as I can prove beyond all doubt.
The air conditioner was actually invented by three Jewish gentlemen. Just look at the front of any air conditioner and read their names: Norm, Hi, and Max.
A guy I know was in charge of a medium-sized office. He was forever plagued by the women asking him to turn the thermostat up during the winter (the guys saying "turn it down, we're dying in here"). When the office was remodeled, he had a new thermostat installed in a closet, and had the old one unconnected. He put the biggest complainer "in charge" of that thermostat, and never had a problem since. True story.
As the ex-owner of a Chevy Vega, I can say with authority that this list is nowhere near complete. The worst car ever built has to be the Porsche 924.
Lack of power was only one of its negative attributes. The body panels over your legs rusted and let in rain water. The exhaust system would shake itself apart. The headpipe, catalytic converter, and resonator all tore themselves apart from vibration. The cast iron exhaust manifold actually split longitudinally from the shaking. The cooling system was designed with the radiator lower than the engine, so it would constantly develop an air bubble and overheat the engine (and eventually crack the engine block). And oh yeah, the driver's door fell off. Literally!
The nickname I gave my Porsche 924 was "two-dollar whore", and it must have liked the name, because it had me calling it constantly.
Oh fooey! The cell call was intercepted in D.C. not Florida. Ever try to get the cell tower just a quarter mile away? And you don't just stumble across the cell phone band on your Sony. In fact you can't legally buy a reciever that tunes the 850 Mhz band in the U.S.
But you fail to address the issue. Here we have the Dems making hay by publicizing a private conversation. What happened? Nothing. That answers the previous poster's question.
And finally, who ever modded my previous reply a 0 flamebait is obviously a Dem, misusing the system.
Imagine the uproar if the Dems got caught doing something like this...
They have. Spying on cell phone calls. Not much happened, other than the media making a story of the contents of the conversations.
You and I would be in trouble just for tuning in those frequencies, but the Dems and the media just had a big laugh about what a fun little caper it was.
The other "advertised 32-bit" boards, are actually only 24 bits of resolution, which is why I asked the question. And regardless the limitations of human hearing, I cited an application that DOES need a higher accuracy, which is why the question is important to me.
Slashdot readers, would any of you know the actual dynamic range of the ADC used in this hardware. Is it really 32 bits?

Right!
Now, read the Book of Revelation again to understand what the corporations really are.
Then, read the history of the (U.S.) 14th amendment to see how the citizens were tricked into becoming corporations. Neat trick, huh?
Or not.

How about listening to the best? Caltech's Streaming Theater.
It's faster than bejeepers. I run it on my webhost as a scripting language.
Simple, fast, elegant.

Bonus points!

I used to subscribe to a commercial BBS named 'Avatar' around 1986.
Uh oh! Looks like someone didn't read the Slashdotted site before he posted!
One small problem: You won't be able to control this new toy because internet-over-power-lines is interfering with your radio signal!

Why not just burn the CORN directly? Why bother fermenting and distilling it first?

Simple solution--use Mozilla.
