I work for an acoustics company and we use either matlab or CoolEdit pro to analyze waveforms. Given the size of your data, it could be difficult though. Probably would want to break down the input into hour segments.
Might want to check with an acoustics lab. Try http://www.ee.sunysb.edu/~cspv/CSPV.html or something similar.
Not to troll or bait flames, but most real engineering companies require a Bachelor's or better from an Abet accredited institution from new hires. I guess it's possible to start as a tech in the lab and work your way up (eventually experience is worth the same or more than a degree, it's just hard to get without the degree.)
I agree 100% with your post. If I handed in a resume for a software engineering job with even a degree in Information Technology, I probably wouldnt get a second glance.
One that can: 1. Can be used as an mp3 player (ipod capacity of +15gb) 2. Can be used a telephone 3. Must have a nice interface and good display 4. Nothing more than a glorified organizer is necessary. 5. Is small. About the size of the mini ipod, perhaps smaller. 6. Can seamlessly integrate(buzzword alert!) with hardware such as home/car stereos, computers and cars in general.
This is a statistical "phenomenon" called "Regression to the Mean". It goes like this.
Ok dork...
Their is nothing scientific about it, its just a strange thing that happens.
Madden 2002 star Daunte Culpepper, quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, suffered a knee injury, and his team ended up with a losing season.
Madden 2003 cover figure Marshall Faulk, the star running back of the St. Louis Rams, went on to a sub-par season.
Madden 2004, featured Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who broke his leg in the preseason and missed most of the regular season.
Stop trying to act smart, this has nothing do with previous season performance relative to the next season. Players or teams on the SI cover who are predicted to win their respective championships, etc never do. People on the Madden cover sometimes suffer season ending injuries or have subpar seasons.
Know the story before you start acting like a stats whiz.
Sure all the extra math classes in the CS major are a pain, but they do help. You get a better understanding about computer science and its fundamentals. With that knowledge, you can do just about anything when it comes to computers.
Using a computer and being able to understand why/what/how a computer does something is completely different. Math helps you understand.
I heard a good quote a while back... don't remember who said it though.
"In America, its what you save, not how much you spend."
I find this to be very true, especially at warehouse discounters such as Costco, Sam's Club, etc. Many in this country are easily duped by clever marketing schemes and pricing.
CD sales are probably hurt by the amount of sucky music being released. Pop music is terrible and heavily influenced by hip-hop, which probably detracts some potential buyers (like myself). Rock and Roll has pretty much died and we are in an age of bad music.
Linux/Unix has been around for decades, and almost as long as computers have been in use. When that "something better" comes along, I'll probably be dead.

Going to all those CS classes filled with guys, and no girls to look at, really sucked. How can one be motivated to learn?

Troll??? Obviously most of you don't know what kind of JAP im referring to..
JAP = Jewish American Princess
not
JAPanese.
I live in a town where some JAP replacements would be very welcomed!
I say it time and time again...
The only class that I ever learned anything from, and still use the skills from, is my high school typing class.
I want a good portable device.

Then I'll buy...
I'd be afraid to buy a system from China, Russia or some rogue nation.
They could put mini-terrorists in the system that can start sabotaging the equipment...
Scary stuff! Thanks for opening up our eyes!
I hear that! I had an IPAQ for two months and hardly used it. It had the integrated WiFi and bluetooth... but it stil became a glorified rolodex.
traded it to my cousin for a 15gb IPod... much happier now!
Thats sneaky, dishonest and I like it!
Family and friends ask me all the time on how they can fix IE vulnerabilities. Easy answer... use mozilla, firefox or opera.
Some are terrified at the thoughts of not being able to use IE, perhaps thinking that IE is the only browser that they can use.
PuTTY is my favorite also. Three cheers for PuTTY!
"radnyJohnsonFastball + badTiming = deadBird"
Or a scared John Kruk.
That's why he's far and away the best centerfielder (and outfielder in general) in baseball.
This has to be a pre-2004 season statement.
Andruw Jones, Jim Edmonds, and Ichiro are probably better...
Red Sox suck
- Yankee fan
btw... its not a rivalry when one team is 26-0
High Five! Great post!!!!! If I had any mod points , I'd give you all five!

How is Donald Knuth not on the ballot or in the HOF itself?
He is one of the most important computer scientist of all time.

I fail to see why this warrants a slashdot post.
Without the TI-82, I don't think I would have passed college physics.
Thank you TI-82

Our company builds software systems on linux, so our PHB's are very in tune and understand linux's advantages.
