Seriously, the case may be that the reality of the Universe is so complicated that String Theory will take a long time to come to fruition. Also, it may be that there are no testable predictions because of our limited perspective.. eg 3 dimensions.. limited energy resources.. Fundamentally limited abilities to measure..
Or maybe the Universe is just a big knot of strings, and no human can untie it.
I have a box similar to yours.. I do not have an application which really overloads its capabilities. Unless we load up on eye candy, or use a computers for scientific modeling and mass number crunching, we have computers that are simply fast enough.. especially for the cost of an upgrade.
Wait I noticed something...The M-Audio Delta 1010 LT PCI Digital Audio System has preamps.. I dont know much about that card.,..I think it only has two analog ins though xlr
I believe that we are in the age where pro and amateur equipment quality are not easily distinguishable. Amateur recordings are getting better and better. Oh and cheaper and cheaper. When my dad built a studio in the 70's he spent thousands on a Teac 4-track 1/4" reel to reel. Now you can spend that much and get really good digital equipment or if analog is your thing you can spend $3000 dollars and buy yourself a 2" reel to reel 16 track recorder that used to go for $100,000.
The fact is there are really only a couple of things that hold serious amateurs down these days.
1. A recording room. To build a truly professional room for monitoring your recording and doing mastering requires a lot of money. Say $100,000 minimum.
2.A trained engineer with a good ear... Equipment is cheap these days, but a bad engineer will not record well no matter what equipment he uses.
Oh and Guys...Lay off the compressors. You're killing the sound. With digital recording we have enormous dynamic ranges available to us. So use it!
If you need to record audio from microphones with XLR inputs I'd go with something like the M-Audio Delta 44 24bit/96. It has 4 ins and 4 outs that can be used for recording from a mixer using professional microphones. The quality A/D and D/A converters are pretty good, and keeps in sync well. I've gotten some good recordings out of the card.
If you require more ins and outs, I believe that you can stack multiple M-Audio cards.
Science doesn't prove anything. They gather evidence that support or deny a hypothesis within a certain degree of error. Math uses proofs, and they would not dare call evidence the same thing as proof.
The funny thin about running is that the first time you do it, you can barely finish a mile. You are out of breath and you burn. Guess what. After you run it a few times yor body gets the idea and things become easier. You become stronger, with greater endurance, and.. well healthy.
Tell me how this is bad? Besides, exercise puts a person in a better mood and wakes you up.. Prime conditions for innovation.
Ha! If he is right. Well that is a big question isn't it. Actually, I'm a fan, but I know that the quantum brain idea is not popular in the psychological sciences. (Oh and for anybody out here who claims psychology is not a science, then let me tell them that psychology had a shaky past but has emerged as a real science these last twenty years.) Thanks for your vote of confidence.
The brain is not the same for a seven year old and an adult. Children are not just mini-adults. There brains work differently, depend on different processes, employ different strategies. For example, a seven year old does not have mature frontal lobes which is important in accessing consequences. The Frontal lobes develop into early adulthood. But in your case..who knows..
C'mon guys. Are we still promoting behaviorism?? This is the age of cognitive science. The mind matters. We cannot treat the mind as a unchanging black box and simply map inputs to outputs. Inputs will have different consequences depending upon the state of mind/brain at that moment.
However, there is a strong connection between the memory recollection and the context of the encoding event. Usually, it is true that there is better memory performance when the context at encoding and retrieval of a memory are similar. We use cues gathered from contextual stimuli to help reconstruct the memories. To the point, while a video recording of our lives is not the same as recording the personal experience of that life, it can however help an individual recollect the event later.
Remember, for most cases it is true that recall is more difficult than recognition. Recall is retrieval of a memory without an external cue. Recognition is retrieval of a memory after being exposes to an external cue, like a face or a video. Recognition, according to dual process models of recognition is composed of two independent processes: Recollection and familiarity. (Yonelinas 2002). Ahh well, I digress.

This is like a Erench Vs Emerican Competition..My score.. goes up and down up and down as American and French moderators try to outbid each other. Ha hah..The French are losing.
Well, I guess they think I am a troll...The question is... do they think I am a Nazi Troll? I am surely not. But I do think that the French made a huge military mistake in defense strategy against the German threat.
The evolution of organisms on earth do have a trend toward complexity. However, complexity is not a goal of evolution. Complexity is not required for evolution. The analogy is false, because its premise is false.
High Horse. F you bastard. I am married, work, and pursuing a degree, and hope for a doctorate. I have worked at mini-markets, starbucks.. I've been a repo man and a pizza delivery boy. I do not intend to denigrate those who fill those positions. Necessity, responsibility, and circumstance will drive you to those jobs often times. Also labor jobs are not easy. They are hard work that often require your full attention. While they don't require you to do abstract thinking, they require constant attention to what you are doing. Yeah, I was making fraps and mochas for the Christmas rush and I was exhausted mentally by the end of the shift.
However, the ability to master three years worth of upper division mathematics AND physics materials in one year IS fuckin hard, and the ability to do so is not at all common. I Have taken 4 math courses in a quarter, and I was blown away.I studied and studied and I failed. I felt stupid, even though I have an IQ in the top 1 percent. This guy took 8 courses of math at a time. I hate him because of his ability. People here seem to think that anyone can master 28 units of math at a time. No they can't. Math is intensive. This guy IS smart. He didn't fake it. He didn't find some trick for getting ahead. He's fuckin smart.

2. Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO Mixer $199(has phantom power),
3. Rode NT-1A or NT3 Condenser microphone.($199 A really good mic).
SOme cables etc. Then your good.
Yep, I forgot about that too. Good to have.

Note: They provide drivers for Linux too.

I like the tittle. Refreshingly to the point and unpretentious. The movie WAS not about anything else.. What would you have named it?
Thank you for being the first serious comment on the article yet. Interesting.
French Fast ENOUGH? OHhh.. They FELL FAST ENOUGH. Yeah they've gotten a lot of practice at falling quickly.
Yep, looks like the French fast enough after all.
Correct me if I am wrong.. But, you misspelled Maginot. Look it up brother.
