Its not the unusual frequencies at all - and by its nature - clipping doesnt add unusual frequencies, it turns the waveform into a flat DC voltage for a period of time. Theres no frequency.
I liked what our first year maths courses did. No calculators. First year maths and first year calculus should all be completable without a calculator.
Then I asked a geologist friend who makes his living prospecting (for gemstones, mostly, in his case, but he's got his ear to the ground for other opportunities, including uranium) and his opinion was that the quality of uranium mapping data was poor, and that new reserves would be found if anyone bothered to look. So he was taking the 50 - 100 years number with a large grain of salt.
You are exactly right. Australias largest uranium mine, which is the largest known deposit of Uranium in the world, wouldnt even exist, if it wasnt for the Copper. Its actually a copper mine, with gold, silver and uranium as bonus materials. Very little searching for uranium occurs, while the oil searchers are working overtime.
I also think it is odd how low the bar seems to be for categorizing non-destructive actions as "addictive".
Thats because these people are 'addicted'. Take your typical 'addicted' World Of Warcraft player... They have a severe 'urge' to play the game. While they are not playing the game - they may even suffer from anxiety and similar effects.
The best treatment for this is a behavioural therapy known as CBT. There is alot of research going into it at the moment, because its being successfully used to treat gamblers. Believe it or not, but the effects of addiction on gamblers is very similar to the effects of game players.
In these cases, we arent talking about people who come home and spend hours on a hobby, were talking about those that 'have to play'. Who have a constant urge to play, and who suffer psychological effects when not playing.
I also have a friend who's an ASC certified master mechanic who says he sees A LOT of Toyotas in the shop vs. GM vehicles for more than trivial matters.
Its a pity, because you get the American Built Toyotas. In Australia, we get the Japanese built Toyotas, and they are consistently the most reliable car by far. The Toyota's top all of the reliability surveys and have very low failure and problem rates.
We had this exact problem. Originally they were all named Webserver1,Webserver2,Monitoring1,Monitoring2 etc etc etc. We decided it would be cool to name them all after simpsons characters. 3 Days later I get an alert to my phone at 2am to tell me Nelson is not responding to ping. WTF is Nelson? Is he important? No idea what he did, and if he needed rebooting immediately or could wait till reasonable hours.
Hence I'm a big proponent for a useful naming scheme.
Foxpro had one great feature.. It functioned as a database aware scripting language which made complex tasks simpler than any other database packages around. You could work in a proceedural way, accessing record by record, you could work with sets, cursers and sql, it even had a limited object like support. I still see complex database tasks now that I wish I had foxpro or an equivalent around for. For processing or rearranging databases, nothing beat foxpro.
However, It was horribly buggy - graphics and gui features would just never work the way you expected them to - the database features were all solid however. MS would even issue major changes in the SQL syntax with minor point releases of the ADO objects. (A lesson to ALWAYS use a test server.)
Foxpro is what access should have been. Something like Foxpro is exactly what Open Office needs for manipulating data..
Actually, linux solves a whole heap of problems. On my laptop, only resolutions programmed into the BIOS can be selected by the video card. 720p and 1080p are noticeably absent. Linux solves this problem by adding extra modes to the video bios on boot. Hence under linux I can use 720p, however with windows I can not. And no, powerstrip can not help me here.
The beauty of solar power, is that for most of Australia, our peak energy consumption is on our hottest days - and that is when the sun is out - making Solar an almost perfect form of energy for peak load!
I also have one. It was advertised as a generic 5 port 10mb hub, and when the last 10mb device was removed from it, suddenly everything switched to 100mbs and worked!
I dont know what TV like is in the US, but in Australia the published guides are never 'FACT' and remain as fiction. The TV networks quite happily change shows and delay start times, ensuring that the published guide (and online ones) are never actually correct.
Not necessarily true. Many cars (such as my own) have a fuel cut. So while you are engine breaking, the computer and fuel injection cuts fuel completely. So while engine breaking, my car uses ZERO fuel. If I was breaking with the clutch in, or desending with the clutch in, my engine would be using its idling amount of fuel (about 2% of max usage).
Plus desending hills with the clutch in can be dangerous and just bad form.
I have a HTC3600. And originally I would have agreed with every single point you have made. However, a bit of time perusing xda.developers.com and I've installed a 'cooked' rom onto my phone, and after trialing a few different versions Ive found one which solves almost all of the problems youve mentioned and a few more.
The 'cooked' roms are simiple repackaged firmware with programs and utilities from various places and even the later model phones. I was originally going to upgrade, but with the Firmware I have now, its made the phone much more usable. Some of the latest HTC utils work around the flaws, such as Touch Flow, which adds gestures and auto closes programs, as well as providing a running task list, and is available via cooked roms for almost all HTC phones - even the older ones like mine.

Yes, and it was covered by slashdot at the time: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/18/1645216

And Apple have obviously rejected it again. It now says: No longer available.
Obviously Apple found out that the basic was actually available and removed it.

Most still use Lead Acid Batteries. The latest Australian subs, the Collins Class certainly do.
Same thing, A Collection of Facts can be copyrighted. This has been tested under Australian law in a case where a company was copying the phone book.
Z-push will connect to almost any IMAP mail server and provide pushmail for all supported devices.
Yep, we run an Ironport here. Its the greatest device that ever was created.
Even better, it will only work on WIFI, and wifi is turned off while the screen is off.

Boats, aircraft and women are the three things that are better to rent than to own.

No, but theres the 50 top ten lists provided by time magazine: here.
There are a plethora of products already, all designed so we can access 'US only' websites - such as media sites, extras on Itunes etc etc.

Further to this, places such as the UK and NZ use .co.uk and .co.nz instead of the com tld. Which means the above regex will also fail.

It is all ok, they got a great deal on finance while purchasing the new clock!
