Very curious; I've had no such experience with XMMS. It's only ever frozen when I was betatesting a plugin and its 44kHz certainly doesn't sound like 22kHz. Its audio output is fine for me.
It was Windows 98 at the time, which can certainly help explain it; I can't remember which version of the Sun JVM it was. I know it was Java because loading large java applications in Mozilla would cause the entire system to lock up and remain that way until rebooted manually. As I've said, however, it seems quite an isolated case; I've not really heard of it happening much of anywhere else. I also don't use the system anymore at all, really, so I don't particularly care what was wrong now.;b
Drug addicts have entirely different brain chemistry than non-addicts. In fact, their brains often (depending on the drug) never return to normal. Conversion to both Christianity and Islam cure them pretty consistently. Although INAH3 doesn't change after birth, addicted brains don't either.
True. That's because they're still predisposed to addiction; it's very easy for an ex-addict to relapse because it's still in their brain to do so. I've a friend who doesn't drink because there's a history of alcoholism in her family and she's noticed herself losing control of her drinking when she used to.
Suppressing chemical addiction because of compelling moral belief structures would have not only harmful mental effects, but physical ones as well. Evidence shows this not to be the case. This could be apples and oranges, though (IANABS).
Probably apples/oranges, yes. Addiction causes considerable harm in and of itself, both to the addict and to those around the addict.
Also, what about bisexuals? There are homosexuals also that don't exhibit femenine traits. I'll agree with you that many homosexuals are born with their orientation dormant, but there are still many others that it would seem do suffer from psycological trauma from childhood.
I can't tell you for certain, since most of what I've read pertains directly to the original study that sparked these discoveries. However, I'd suggest that INAH3 is probably between its size in men and women in bisexuals, not at one size or the other as it is in homosexuals and heterosexuals.
My case seems to slightly improve itself with lesbians. Most lesbians that go to see psycologists at least seem to report childhood abuse. The numbers increase with bisexual women.
But it's not necessarily related; correlational studies don't always return helpful data to allow an actual conclusion. Furthermore, unless I'm mistaking your intent, people who go to psychologists usually go *because* they have a problem; lesbians without problems caused by childhood abuse don't, as a general rule, tend to go to psychologists.
Following this logic, vibrations that are too low or high to trigger response by the human ear are not sounds. That means dog whistles are indeed silent. Surely, that can't be right, because dogs seem to hear them.
I didn't specifically define a *human* listener. A dog is fully capable of listening, and thus is also a listener. And, yes, I'm entirely aware that this is a pedantic answer that doesn't go with the spirit of the koan; I wasn't particularly trying to be serious. ^.~
Unless I'm mistaken, a sound is just a vibration until there's a listener to interpret it. Ergo, no; the tree falling makes vibrations unless someone is around to hear it. ^.~
See, there are homosexuals that convert to Christianity (probably Islam as well) and are "cured." I wonder if their INAH3 grows when this happens. It doesn't seem to make any sense without God existing?
I couldn't cite you any specific studies, but unless I'm terribly mistaken it's not a case of any physical changes but of the person repressing his or her innate sexual behaviour. It's already known that people can repress behaviour of various kinds because of what they think is right or wrong; in some cases, it can be extremely bad for the person's mental health and well-being, and repressing one's sexuality is such a case. At any rate, I don't believe INAH3 *could* change; it's a part of the brain that doesn't physically undergo real changes after birth, like most parts.
I don't see how Lordosis implies trying to mate with other males--I mean, it's the same movement, right? Or is it...to put it nicely...a back condition caused by being "on the bottom?"
Lordosis is only performed by female rats; it's a position that puts the rear end high in the air while the front is close to the ground, and indicates a readiness to mate with a male. Heterosexual rats don't perform lordosis, but look for a female who does, since it's impossible to mate unless the female does.
I have known heterosexual men that seem to exude a more femenine attitude. Perhaps they have similar physical traits.
Very likely the case; I known't if INAH3 causes all of this behaviour, having only read studies pertaining to its result on sexual behaviour, but it doesn't seem unlikely. Rats don't have much gendered behaviour other than sexuality, so that was the easiest part to do a controlled test of. ^.~
I have heard of such sudies. However, there is no proof that this is a trait that they are born with.
Sure there is. They've replicated it in rats and discovered that males born with such a brain difference show feminine sexual behaviour such as lordosis; in other words, they attempt to mate with other males.
Furthermore, is the same section smaller with pedophiles? Necrophiles?
To my knowledge, no. INAH3 is similar in homosexual males to its size in female brains; this causes feminine sexual behaviour to some extent, and pedophilia and necrophilia are *not* feminine sexual traits. (Or, if they are, I suppose I'm just a freakish non-pedophilic or -necrophilic female.;b)
I don't think they make an active choice, but I definately think that they aren't born homosexual. There are many homosexuals that convert to Christianity. Upon doing so, at the very least some of them cease to be homosexuals. If homosexuality is a genetic trait, then there needs to be some sort of omnipotent entity capable of changing the DNA of a live creature. As an atheist, I do not believe this.
Actually, studies do seem to show that it is a physical condition; a section of the hypothalamus is smaller in homosexual men.
Re: your sig
Amiga isn't *looking* for a wide market at the moment. They're just building a smaller market, and are planning on targeting a larger market with the platform-independant AmigaOS 5 later on, so unfortunately I doubt your petition will have effect.:/
Indeed... I bought a pair of 1970s LPs recently and was shocked to see the incredible quality of the packaging. Sturdy, full-colour cardboard case, large full-colour booklet with glossy pages... it's much nicer and, presumeably, much more expensive than the packaging of CDs, yet the price is much less than that of modern CDs.

Heh, interesting. When I first posted this, the parent's signature was the rather (in)famous Leviticus quote condemning homosexuality, hence my Leviticus 11:10 response; it wasn't off-topic at the time.
You have an excellent point. I'm a poet, but I have a fair dislike for much of the thoroughly awful poetry these days, much of which seems to exist solely for the purpose of turning most people off of poetry.
Sorry, I accidentally omitted the word "remake" in my post. There was a PlayStation remake of Dragon Quest IV; Enix started translating it, but abandoned it after poor sales of VII due largely to piracy.
Then would you like to explain why piracy was so rampant on the NES and SNES in China? Cartridges make it more difficult, but they don't make it impossible. DRAM-based copiers that connected to the cartridge slots and loaded games from floppies weren't at all uncommon, and pirated games on floppies were sold by stores much like pirated CDs are now.

Is the software open-source or closed-source? I'm not using an x86 computer, so closed-source likely wouldn't be of too much use to me.
How is Linux support on these two devices? And does the iRiver work with USB1 at all?

They did a remake in 1995, Space Invaders '95. It was extremely bizarre, yet somehow fun.
I wish that were true here. 0.0; The arcade took out its DDR machine inexplicably.
