Aromatic compounds do not cleanly "burn", they leave traces of soot from combustion (I wish I can find my organic chem book).
If you heat the bodies (or anything carbon based) without oxygen in extreme temperatures the product is a carbon compound called "coke". It's carbon rich hence your diamond.
I've had a teacher that has been trying the experiment over a few years. His idea was to type the notes in the computer, and have it go out to different television sets in the classroom. Exams, tests, and quizzes were taken in the computer lab over a web-based program. Essays and papers were turned in via a shared directory. Notes were grabbed from the same directory.
To take your notes, you either bring your laptop to class or jot them down in a notebook.
Taking notes didn't work out so well, because of the teacher's presentation. Watching him type notes on the television and have a discussion didn't work, because the notes were sub-par and the discussion fruitless (he was an English teacher).
But the excellent part of the class was the thrill (or not) of taking your exam and seeing if you passed or not immediately.
It was the best class I've taken for a few reasons:
- Nimda reemed the network and got my class cancelled for a week - The computer gave the teacher many problems, and usually we'd spend only 15 minutes in discussion
I couldn't read my notes on a computer, I'd much rather write than type. What could be the disadvantages of taking a notebook to class?
And I wonder if they took the different learning styles in mind (auditory, visual, and tangibles)? An electronic classroom definately focuses on visual. Would be interesting to see numbers later on and see if they correlate with the different styles.
John Cage has done some great electronic work, but it isn't what you think. It was more experimentation, but he did do an interesting thing with ballet and electronic music. He attatched transmitters to the danced and they danced around an antenna, then the antenna transmitted backstage and John chose the sounds from there and played the music created from the ballet.
And each piece is different every time you play it.
And of course, everyone holds Debussy to be father of elecronic music (well, I do. But he got the ball rolling with his eastern theme incorporations).
Or the Dadaists and their music concrete movement (post-WWI) that inspired that crazy big loudspeaker machine (I can't remember the name).
It's kinda sad, but there really hasn't been anything unique since Kraftwerk.
It's kinda hard to find anything with a definate point-of-departure from the norm. But Bedrock, Cass & Slide, Breeder (who only writes for Sasha and Digweed), Jamie Myerson, Goldie, and Albion (who has his signature chords, you'll know when they hit) are a little more thought out from everything else. I prefer some Artemis (I'm a sucker for Artcore), but some aren't too keen on it.
As for your mixes, anything Global Underground. The Boxed Boys have produced the best elecronic mixes I've heard. In fact, I'd recommend 013: Ibiza (Sasha) if you can get it. If not, Oakenfold in New York (I think it's 002). My personal favorites.
Craig Myerson has done some great elecronic scores for movies like Romeo & Juliet. And the Fight Club score is great too (The Dust Brothers).
Radio One's website is great for your club tastes. NPR has a great show "Echoes" that is your new age stuff.
With the discovery of the gravitational constant, we can prove that we are all literally attracting the other human being, and they are attracted to us.
Or the night of Maxwell's discovery on the nature of light, he asked his date "how she would feel to know that she was walking with the only person in the world who knew what the starlight really was."
A little off-topic, but here's a quote from an interview with Nolan Bushnell (creator of Pong and founder of Atari, Brian's Emulation Page ). It's a really interesting quote that I think of when piracy is brought to discussion:
"Someone asked about what he thought of piracy on the Atari 800 computer, and how it affected the company. He said that piracy was probably the only thing that kept it alive as long as it did. That piracy created the demand for the hardware."

Well, considering that it is Friday night, the load should be a little lighter.
But realizing this, I've come to see that I'm compiling the kernel on a Friday night.
And I need to readjust a few priorities of mine...

That's all I can pull out of my head.
...go away if you press F11 and make it go fullscreen. I devote a desktop to it (Afterstep makes this nice), some might not prefer that.
It's my choice for my 233.

Sony and Nintendo go back even farther.
Remember that little sound processor in that SNES of yours? Of course you do, you probably still listen to SNES game music all the time...
That little chip was the SPC700. And guess who designed it. Ken Kutaragi himself. It had its own RAM, and was independant of the SNES's CPU.

Neat, huh?
