Does anybody know the true dynamic range of this ADC? The best I've been able to find so far is 24 bits at 192 kHz with the Delta44 board. I highly doubt that this unit will have a 32 bit resolution per channel as the article suggests, but I'm willing to be surprised.
I have an application, in software defined radio. See http://antennspecialisten.se/~sm5bsz/linuxdsp/linr oot.htm for an example.
Overselling bandwidth: I will agree that "everybody does it". I will agree that it is specified in the contract. I will agree that the ISP's will have to raise their rates to cover expenses if their customers use the bandwidth advertised. I will agree the ISP's will run to government to shelter them from irate customers who are not getting what the colorful brochures promised.
Now will you agree with me that selling something you don't have is fraud? Thank you.
Right. And I can sell you more widgets than I can deliver, then maybe give you a "discount" because I'm such a nice guy. So what? It doesn't matter if the industry has given a respectable name to the practice, it's still fraud.
If they have the capacity, then using that capacity doesn't cost the ISP an extra nickel. If they don't have the capacity, then they are selling you something they do not have. We call this fraud.
I don't understand why this article would be slanted to make it seem that only wrinkly old radio amateurs will be affected by the BPS broadband RF noise scheme. There are literally hundreds of thousands of users of this part of the spectrum that will be adversely impacted, from private and industrial communications to aircraft and maritime navigation and weather stations.
And YOU TOO, if you have marginal radio or television reception. Look at the chart at http://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/casa/martin/atlas/us_spe ctrum_map.pdf for an idea of the frequiencies and services that will be affected.

Do you really want to hand over all that power? Do you want TONS of crappy legislation? Do you want to conform to guidelines and regulations for all of your messages? Do you want the NET POLICE monitoring your communications and writing citations? Do you want a "War on Spam" that does nothing other than to suck up billions of dollars?
It's a beautifully documented, state of the art, software-defined, digital signal processor. It's downloadable and it's free!
(Yeah, I know that Linux is not BSD, and vice versa. But this radio runs under both. Okay?)
From day one, they have danced around the subject of ice. They just won't talk about it.
The Shuttle's main tank is a huge cryogenic storage cylinder. It is cold, very cold. So cold that they have to insulate it. So cold that atmospheric air will form a sheet of ice on its outsides. So cold that ice formation is monitored before launch. Why won't they talk about this?
The leading portion of an aircraft body and wing is where ice will accumulate in flight. It can collect in amounts large enough to make the aircraft unaerodynamic. Amounts large enough to fall off in chunks. Why won't they talk about this?
The material seen impacting the Shuttle wing has been described as "grayish-white". Ice just happens to be this same color. What color was the insulation? Was it grayish-white too? I doubt it! If the insulation were the same color, how could they visually check against ice formation before launch?
The last time the feds had a LAN party, a bunch of undesirables came and took it over for themselves. I wonder what will happen this time?

Why are they trying to hide the obvious possibility that it was ICE and not foam insulation that broke off and hit the left wing of STS-107?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/835531/po st s?page=1464
Foam insulation is light and fluffy and reddish-orange. Ice is white and collects quickly on the outside of cryogenic containers, and near the leading edges of aircraft, and can be hard and heavy enough to knock a few ceramic tiles off when moving at supersonic speeds. These are not stupid people in charge of this investigation. So why are they so slow to make this disclosure?

The one thing wrong with this idea is that once government starts providing services, it also looks for compensation. And we know that once it finds a source of money or power, it never, ever gives it up.

Better hope the interference from the power line carriers will be low enough for the hams to do their job.
Yes. It's called a public library, and it's been one of the strengths of American society ever since Ben Franklin instituted the first one.
Maybe this is a little more to the point:

Hams, my ass! You're being lied to, again.
BTW, you should always pour Boddington's ale into a glass, so that you can see the gorgeous upside-down cascade effect of the foamy bubbles.
Well, DUH !
Now, put the rest of the book online, pay the author directly, and ya got something!

NO. Keep the Feds out of it! Stupid idea!!!

They coat it with sugar, stamp it into interesting shapes, and call it "breakfast cereal".
Two things that are certainly NOT dead: Shortwave and BSD. Visit the page at: DSP radio for LINUX on Intel platforms

GCC is "everyone [sic] favorite compiler" just like Windows is everyone's favorite operating system.
