The human ear (and the corresponding piece of driver code in the brain) is very sensitive to regularities and irregularities in sounds. If you convert something to sound and get used to it, you can very easily spot how it "sounds wrong" when something changes.
Seismographists used to convert earthquake vibration patterns to human-audible sounds; this way it became very easy for a trained ear to distinguish between natural quakes and Soviet nuclear tests. On a screen, both looked like a jumble of lines.
Of course, a clever piece of software can do this too - but you already have this clever piece of software installed for free in your brain. (Unfortunately it is free-beer, as the source is not available. Hmmmm, I guess rms should target God as the largest producer of closed-source software in the Universe?)
damn, oh well, i think my original intent was to keep adding friends until something broke, but i guess they figured that one out. oh well, maybe next time.
It may not have been obvious, but I agree with you. He asked, so I just gave one example of a way I have been affected in real life. I didn't intend to trivialize it. I'm sure it has other effects, but I just used that one to illustrate my point.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in years. For the cost of making that piece of shit, they could have made a dozen good movies with plot and character development and all that good shit.
So... what movies do you like? (I only ask so that I may shit on them.)
bravo! The last time I used mozilla was admittedly a long time ago, but it was slower than a donkey's ass on christmas, and I haven't had any reason to go back and look at it again, because IE seems to be getting better and better.
You can't tag the songs in the manner you want for exactly the same reason napster had such a hard time complying with the requirements to disallow copyrighted materials.
CDDB works on the premise that the combinations of track lengths on a given album are like a unique fingerprint. Once you take into account that mp3s aren't exactly (to the frame) the same size as the audio cd, the fact that you may be missing the last 2 seconds of some track, etc, it becomes practically impossible.
patch pumpkin n. [Perl hackers] A notional token passed around among the members of a project. Possession of the patch pumpkin means one has the exclusive authority to make changes on the project's master source tree. The implicit assumption is that `pumpkin holder' status is temporary and rotates periodically among senior project members. This term comes from the Perl development community, but has been sighted elsewhere. It derives from a stuffed-toy pumpkin that was passed around at a development shop years ago as the access control for a shared backup-tape drive.
I'm a geek, but I don't need to have my special geek beverages just to prove it. And as far as water goes, the water fountain (bubbler if you prefer) suits me fine.
But this could also sound an alarm analyzing some music in its existing form, like the first 3 minutes of Armand Van Helden's Flyaway Love, which just consists of one half second sample.
It's called the Archos Recorder, and I'm listening to one right now. Records in stereo from analog or digital line-in at 44.1khz at up to 160kbps, which should be at least enough for your requirements.
Its primary use will be studying the influence of proteins on cancer, and, more importantly, large film and animation projects.
More importantly? Animation? Than cancer? Apparently someone hasn't had any relatives die of cancer recently. That's a pretty insensitive remark. If this was a comment, I would be sure it was a troll.
120,000 km sounds close, but consider this: The Earth is about 7,926 miles (12,756 km) in diameter. Roughly 12,000 km, or about a tenth of the flyby distance. The chance of any object that comes within 120,000km of actually hitting the earth is about (0.1)^2, or roughly 1%. This is still unsettlingly likely, but it's not exactly doomsday.
I note the article is hosted at "EVWorld" a site devoted to the misguided[1] attempt to convert the world to electric vehicles. They undoubtedly would like to believe that the Earth's core is nuclear in an attempt to show how the only safe place for radioactivity is far beneath the ground, not up here where we can use it. Fortunately nobody in any kind of position of power listens to pseudoscientists like those in the "alternative" energy movment. I would no more use "alternative" energy than I would take herbal medicine.
[1]I say "misguided" because electric power cannot provide the torque or turning radius that gas engines can--keep in mind that 1 hp = 744 watts so your typical 200 hp gas engine will have to be replaced by a 150kW electric engine. Yeah right.

I used to have something like 2500 friends, but now they are all gone. What happened?

Let's see... You mean like not being able to connect a dvd player through a vcr?
Me
Hahahahahaha
Just go buy some nice clothes...
seriously.
Ah, I see you too have found the secret to getting the +1 posting bonus. I have utilized this myself extensively.
So... what movies do you like? (I only ask so that I may shit on them.)

'Who in the hell you bring video card on to a roller coaster let alone so many as to the point it needed to be limited'
damn dog, that thought was crunk
What a very clever joke!! I wish I had thought of that one.
Tell it again! Tell it again!

Nice spell job on "definately"
No, I believe this is what happens when a post is modded as Overrated or Underrated

I thoroughly continue to enjoy it. But I'd be glad to take suggestions on what to listen to instead.

There you go.

Come on. This really looks childish. That's an irrelevant story. Just let the facts speak for themselves or you lose credibility.

This is all wrong
