We recently heard (someone else will post the link) that scanned books would be used for an experimental captcha program since machines aren't picking everything up. So I guess there's still differing opinions here...
They want their news back sans EMI item yeah something about this article says that it was half-written 5 years ago and wrapped up in half a minute to fill a publishing deadline.
ie mention of Oasis and Californication as if they are current hits. Oasis - who the fsck are they?!
This video explains the effects of audio compression quite clearly, albeit the sound quality is only what YouTube can allow.
cheers.
you can do this yourself using Audacity. Rip part of any rock album produced prior to c.1993 (from what I can recall it has been happening for this long) and compare it to any form of rock recorded in a studio since the "Seattle sound" came to the fore.
the older stuff has some dynamic range - the corporate rock produced during the past 15 years can virtually be defined by the shapelessness of the wave.
but if the music keeps selling, the labels are providing exactly what the cloth-eared idiot masses want
"The brain is not geared to accept buzzing. The CDs induce a sense of fatigue in the listeners. It becomes psychologically tiring and almost impossible to listen to. This could be the reason why CD sales are in a slump."
The <b> is added for emphasis. The "buzzing" is clipping - where the audio signal peaks and the wave is squared off. Cloth ears don't make you immune to that.
I don't think a video game is really going to help. "exposure therapy" is currently a used to treat a lot of phobias and CG has huge potential in this. New Scientist had an article a while back and I remember a science show (sorry can't give source) that had a VR set up where people were exposed to spiders as part of their treatment of arachnophobia.
so can the USC use some of this code as the basis for a game? This could be used as both a recruiting tool and an aid to help recovering pyrophobics.
I'm not suggesting that it would be a shame for all this hard work to go into just training guys to save lives and property:) but the screenshots suggest that there could be elements of strategy (which block to approach from, consideration of wind conditions) and some cool FPS with the water cannon. Possibly some riot quelling action too... are there any firefighting sims out there? Perhaps a multi-player which pits firefighters against arsonists?
I've looked over a few setup guides recently for MythTV on Fedora or Ubuntu (sorry but the urls are on my home machine). They nearly all say "turn SELinux off and save days of configuration pain".
I can't see the point of persisting with it if you have a SPI router and something like Firestarter.
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but here you go:

really wants to do that with his new home, I guess that's up to him, but I wonder how many of us are qualified to advise him... well we could start by suggesting he grease up his "series of tubes"... for energy efficiency, ensure the red-lights are LEDs
They are going to introduce legislation to prevent people with perfect pitch from listening to music. no need for that. They'll just ensure that only tone-deaf fuck-tarts like %CURRENT_NO_1_ARTIST% get to record and publish musick.
If the write down just TWO Notes then there will most likely be some other works of music that uses those same two notes in that sequence. we all know that Metallica owns all rights on a palm-muted open 6th string.
It's not our culture anymore. Culture is created and owned by corporations and doled out to the masses --- for a fee, of course. absolutely, but the OP's point is that it is our ability to enjoy art (over and above the ability to enjoy a particular copyrighted work) that ultimately suffers.
Besides, the West Papuans had helped us Aussies a great deal in defending the norther frontier from the Japs. The Australian government has recently and shamefully turned their backs and allowed the West Papuans to suffer terrible human rights abuses at the hands of the Indonesian dictatorship.
