No, you are incorrect. You would see a 22KHz sine wave as you would expect. Why not a square wave? Because a 22KHz square wave has spectral components greater than the bandwidth of the channel. The same goes for a triangle wave and a sawtooth. Those all have spectral components outside of the bandwidth of the channel.
The reconstruction filters on DACs will reproduce all signals in the passband nearly perfectly. It doesn't have to 'guess' at what the signal was.
I, too, read the title to mean 'plant' as in 'a manufacturing facility' not as in 'greed things with leaves'. And was all "how do you do that and what about the stuff the plant was supposed to be making?"
But, yes, green plants are better at folding some protiens than some mamilian cell lines are. Though I thought this was old news. I remember it being discussed a while back when I got into Folding@Home.
QC uses the data lines for power as well as the power lines. This is an unresolvable violation of USB-PD. I am curious how they justify their statements.
The article uses confusing terminology. There are three classes of rockets (in the USA). The lowest is "model rocketry". For this you can build any airframe you want, but you can only use off the shelf engines up to size 'G'. Then there is high power rocketry. For that you can again make your own airframe and you can use engines up to class O. These first two classes must use *premade* motors. Though there are provisions in High Power for engines with consumable parts and durable parts--so the whole thing doesn't need to be replaced. The last class is amateur rocketry. For that, the sky's the limit. You need DOT explosives permits and various other certifications.
So, this article seems confusing when they say 'model' when this is likely 'high power' rocketry. Maybe even amateur rocketry, but I doubt that any intern there will have the permits. Maybe one of the full time staff did that part.
I have two tablets just like this. 1024x600 IPS screen. Large bezel. uSD slot. No BT. No Cameras. No GPS. But, they have a well supported SoC (they are fully supported by CyanogenMod), twice the internal memory, and cost me just $89 (each) two years ago.
Heck, for $109, you can get the Nook HD which has a vastly better processor, screen, and has BT. Why not step up to the Nook HD+ for $129? It's got an amazing screen.
Yes, if you go to www.mersenne.org and look on the left hand side, you will see a variety of lists and reports. They cover the system as a whole and individual contributers.
Yes. The LL test only works on Mersenne numbers--numbers of the form 2^p-1 where p is prime. The LL test is not statistical. It can determine if a given mersenne number is prime or not without any doubt.
To protect against errors, GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) uses a variety of double checks to ensure no number if mistested. Any number that passes the LL test is double (and sometimes triple checked) to verify that there wasn't a hardware or software error that caused a false positive. I had the honor of performing the double check of a record Mersenne prime some time ago.
A tend to agree. I've lived in the USA my whole life. I used to work for a company that made GSM basestation equipment, so I got in the habbit of always entering numbers into my phone with the full +1-NPA-NXX-XXXX format even if they were local to me. This later came in handy while traveling abroad. I could just take my SIM and put it in a local phone and call friends at home with no extra effort. It also came in handy when I moved to a different area code. I've lived outside of the area code I got my phone in for five years. It was no hassle for me to dial the whole 10 digit number as I've been used to doing it for so long.
I'm surprised these haven't been mentioned. I saw them on J-List some years back and ordered them from Japan. Since then, I've found JetPens to be a better supplier--it's domestic, so shipping is cheaper and faster (for NA at least).
I've compared the.18mm and the.28mm version with the.25mm version of the Hi-Tec-C pen. The difference in build quality was immediately noticable--with the Signo Bits being the clear winner. The.28 Signo makes a thinner line (on the paper I used) than the.25 Hi-Tec-C. The Signo pens didn't require as precise of tip angle, either. They also have less drag, but that's a matter of taste.
I'd recommend picking up a.18mm and.28mm Signo Bit in your choice of color and giving it a shot. I tested their inks resistance to various solvents a long time ago and they came out pretty good. Not as good as the Sakura pens, but, being ball tipped pens, they write upstrokes without grabbing.
Okay, so a company that works to 'serve the community' produces a CPU card in a PCMCIA form factor (though which is electronically incompatable) chose a very inexpensive Chinese processor for their first project. The CPU is 3x the speed of a Rasberry Pi. It has some GPL code provided by the CPU manufacturer--who seems very cool to the OSS movement.
The schematic and layout are out for this card. There is code coming. There will be boards coming. The BOM is $15, but who knows what the shipping cost will be? With shipping, it might not matter what the BOM and sales price will be.
This could be interesting, but we know way too little to make any meaningful statement at this time.
Can someone explain to me how they are sure he sang a G-7? The Uncertainty Principle seems to imply he would need to hold it for quite a long time to be sure it was G-7 and not A-6 or F-7.

According to: http://techreport.com/articles.x/19514 the peak FLOP should be the same between a BD 'module' and a SNB 'core' if the BD is using FMA4/AVX and the SNB is using plain AVX.
To get maximum performance, you're going to have to code in assembly or use a library that's been coded that way. I expect programs like Prime95 will be first adopters of this.
Supposedly, Haswell (the full tick after IVB) will have FMA3/AVX which should double the FLOP rate and surpass BD, but that's some time out, so we'll have to see what BD does in the mean time. By then, we could see a shrink of BD with more 'modules' or clock speed improvements. Best to worry about those eggs at least until they're laid if not hatched.
Your opinion of the sensability of the term changes nothing. That is the term and it has a meaning. Noone asserted that it was a connection between spatially separate 'leaf' nodes, so your point is moot. You're inventing an arguement to support something that wasn't asserted in the first place.
Yes, storage is getting cheaper per unit, lower power per unit, and denser per unit. I can only assume you're not aware of Kryder's Law. Yes, it's not by our man Gordon, but it's the same kind of power law relation. It's inaccurate to say that Moores law has 'absolutely nothing to do with...' when it describes the same kind of relationship between cost/density/price/power use.
I'd suggest you learn a bit more about statistics before you make the assertions that you have with regards to the growing diversity of Netflix's customer base and the movies they serve to them. For one, research the term erlang and reassess your comments in that light.
Please stop before you embarras yourself any further.
"Last Mile" is an industry term to mean the connection between an ISP and their customers. It's common usage and not a literal expression. Yes, it's different for DSL and cable, but the point of the term is that the network fans out near the leafs and the cross section bandwidth gets very large. Please stop trying to read anything else into it.
True, caching doesn't eliminate long haul bandwidth, but it can lower it by several orders of magnitude, which is sufficient to make it neglegable. Though space in data centers is expensive, data storage gets cheaper, denser, and lower power with time. See 'Moores Law'. Bits get cheaper to store and transmit with time.
As the supply of movies gets more diverse and so does the demand for them, different layers of the caching will bear the burder, but, the same rules still apply--data gets cheaper to store and transmit with time.
Could it just be the typical geek fashion to write off something as worthless if it is not exciting or doesn't have any practical application?
Worse, it's written off as worthless if it doesn't have an exciting practical application *to something the geek is currently interested in*.
Possibly you're thinking "Church of Scientology != Christian Science" when you wrote the tax dodge bit? Otherwise, yeah, the Taco Bell(tm) comment is pretty accurate, but misses the point. Taco Bell(tm) is still more 'mexican' than McDonalds(tm).
When I read articles like this, they always seem to come across as saying "Look how Christian the [insert item of discussion] is!" But that's just the problem -- the storylines of the Matrix aren't uniquely Christian. Questioning reality, belief in a higher power, the reluctant messiah are all themes throughout almost every religion and every culture.
I agree. Same thing goes for 'Christian' holidays in the US. Most of them are/were someone else's holidays before they were revised. Where's the holy chick and the blessed bunny in the Easter story? Hmm, what's that with the holly and mistletoe around christmas? I mean, come on guys, if you're going to take over a holiday, at least file off the serial numbers! Musicians get sued over sampling less than that.
Didn't he use a circular saw blade to record his message on? I was younger then, but I have a vision of a circular saw blade with marks on it being 'played' by a childrens record player. The output was fed into the hacked Speak'n'Spell(tm).
See, they thought of everything!
now, excuse me, I have to go strangle myself....
Well if you think about it....Her name is "TRINITY" as in the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, & Holy Ghost) so maybe it's not so far fetched to make the comparrison. It's not like it's anything new. Star Wars is supposed to be heavily influenced by Lucas' religious beliefs.
It's also the code name of a US atomic bomb test site. Maybe they were implying that she's 'the bomb'? Hmmmm....
No, but people have often used religion as an EXCUSE for what they do. Often the conflicts over religion are really about economic or other social issues. Without religion, people would generally do the same things they do now, but with different justifications (political beliefs for instance)
Religion is an excuse. It's an excuse to not think for your self. "God said so." It's an excuse to no think about troubling ideas. "There are things man was not menat to know." It's an excuse for why some people get to make decisions and others to follow. "Jahad!" It's an excuse to live in a certain way without reason. "I give you these 10 commandments" It's an excuse to not be responsible for your own actions. "It's Gods will."
Incidentally, the affirmation that there couldn't possibly be a god is a statement of faith. Despite the fact that you have no way of knowing this, you devoutly believe it and prostletize others that they may be saved. Enjoy your religion!
That's an area of disagreement. To those who make things up and call it true based on faith see every belief as an act of faith. Those who hold beliefs based on observations and deduction do not see it as faith. That is one of the points made in the Matrix (Sorry to wander back on topic.)

Correct. This isn't the 'new' price, it's a refurb that Fry's is selling. But, a 30 day warranty is better than anything HP can offer.

No, that figure is wrong, it's $250, they sold another phone.
