Quantum Mechanism The only truly random generator is a mechanism that detects quantum behavior at the sub-atomic level. This is because randomness is inherent in the behavior of sub-atomic particles. A quantum based hardware generator is practical, with examples that have been used including:
The interval between the emission of particles during radioactive decay. This source generates only 30 bytes per second and requires a cumbersome (and dangerous?) collection of hardware.
The thermal noise across a semiconductor diode or resistor. This is the approach most often used in add-on PC hardware. The charge developed on a capacitor during a particular time period.
The frequency instabilities of multiple free running oscillators. This approach is the basis of the VIA PadLock RNG approach. While implemented differently than the resistor based approach, ultimately, the source of randomness is the same.
From the page: The system arrived with three power supplies and, though it's clear that this is good for reliability, the space taken by one of them proved convenient to store the power inverter necessary to get from the in-car 12V supply back to the 230V required by the system.
And from the inverter page:
Provides 230V AC output from standard cigarette lighter plug
I wonder if they'll have any involvement. After all they single-handedly restored the Liberty Bell 7 (their link here. And also helped with the restoration of the Apollo 13 as well. When you tought of Kansas, you probably didn't think of space now did ya?
Thanks for noting that, fixed. (Though of course approximately everyone still calls them ogg files, in this case especially the distinction should be made;) )
Why is it the answer? If M$ created a piece of software that broke a standard they would get lynched by a mob of \.'ers but when something like SPF does it, it's OMG SO COOL
Slashdot Mirror
Considering the summary here a good 9/10 of whats in the linked Overclockers Club here's some links from some more normal news outlets
Yes Cowboy Bebop is good . . *hint* *hint*
I guess that means people should actually have something intelligent to add to the conversation then.
(Yes I know this comment isn't that intelligent)

ROFL How the FUCK did this get modded insightful
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's False
AHAHAH rofl :D
People breathe!? Good God what is this country coming to!
*runs to go turn grandma's oxygen back on*
Conclusion

Stuff = Cool
More Stuff Soon
This guy is amazing! Where does he come up with this stuff!
Enjoy
:)
Note: Was converted with *gasp*powerpoint so yes it is horrible
. . . even if something does go wrong, there wouldn't be any better way to go out, especially with a flight history such as his.
On the other hand, not much left to top this if it does go flawlessly.
Actually if you would of read it:
Not really a debate at all, the show is actually
a program for Comedy Central (yes, an MTV/Viacom network)
Read the frickin' story!
Read the frickin' comment!
I think he is talking about the commercial parts that are left out

Heh, who knows :)

Only bad thing about KSC is when Ary left. Without him, KSC wouldn't have hardly anything
Yea :-/ kinda sux.

Reno residents still get in free? I might have to stop in my next trip back 'home'

Write an Y-EN/C extension then.
Then it's a probably an error in the slashdot HTML :) Afterall they did block you from checking it with the W3C Validator ;)
Yes, he caved to me :)
;) )

.ogg is just like .wav, as it's a container. There can be different types of data inside the container.
It will be interesting to see if there is as much uptake for this as there was for the Ogg sound format.
That should read:
It will be interesting to see if there is as much uptake for this as there was for the Vorbis sound format.
Vorbis and Theora are both part of the Ogg project.

And que the SPF-Zelots saying SPF is the answer!
You're WRONG! I saw the Joker do it in an episode of Batman with Mirrors mounted onto a Van! So this HAS to work!
