The Man Behind the Machines
What would the world of modern music be like without the inventions of Bob Moog? One answer would be: very boring. Bob Moog's namesake analog synthesizers have affected popular music in ways he might not have expected back in 1954 when he began building theremins with his father. But 50 years later, Bob's musical instruments have catapulted so many styles of music into the future, and his contributions to both players and technicians grow even more profound in retrospect.
Where would R&B, rap and hip-hop be if groups like Parliament and Funkadelic hadn't used Moog keyboards? Where would rock and roll be if groups from Yes to the Beatles hadn't used Moog keyboards? Would jazz music have branched off into fusion without Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea using Moog keyboards? And would classical music have enjoyed such resurgence without Wendy Carlos and her modular Moog synthesizer? The questions are hypothetical, of course, because synthesizers have infiltrated every style of music, and so many companies have tried to recreate that analog sound. But above all the copycats and spin-offs, it always comes back to one name: Moog.
After ten years of making theremins, providing unearthly sounds to science fiction movies and avante garde musicians, Bob Moog met experimental composer Herbert Deutsch, whose search for electronic sounds inspired Bob to create the first Moog Modular Synthesizer. Though Bob took on the project just for fun, when he premiered it at the Audio Engineering Society Convention in October of 1964 the response was immediate and Bob started taking orders on the spot. By the time he received a graduate degree (PhD in Engineering Physics, Cornell University) in the summer of 1965, the R. A. Moog Co. had delivered several modular synthesizer systems, mostly to academic and experimental composers. But it would be a few years later when public awareness of Moog synthesizers would leap ahead beneath the nimble fingers of Wendy Carlos. Carlos' renowned album "Switched-On Bach" was released on Columbia Records at the end of 1968, achieving immediate success. The album went on to sell over a million copies, creating a sharp demand for Moog modular synthesizers throughout 1969 and early 1970. Many "switched-on" records were produced during that period. By the end of 1970, the now incorporated R. A. Moog Inc. introduced the Minimoog®, a compact performance synthesizer based on the technology of Moog modular products, enabling keyboardists to take the Moog on the road. And that began a decade of music that would be forever altered by the Minimoog and its incomparable sounds.
R. A. Moog Inc. officially changed its name to Moog Music Inc. in 1971 and became a division of the now defunct Norlin Music in 1973. Moog synthesizers were widely used by professional musicians and the "Sound of the Moog" became an integral part of our musical culture. The list of songs is far too long to print here, but from rock to R&B, from jazz to classical music, the Moog sounds were everywhere.
At the end of 1977, Bob left Moog Music and in 1978 founded Big Briar for the purpose of developing and building electronic musical instruments with novel player interfaces. Actual Moog keyboards were made for the better part of the next decade by Norlin Music, but with the heart and soul of Moog gone, Moog keyboards ceased production by 1986. Though gone from his namesake company, Bob's interest in synthesizers and instruments could not be quelled. From 1978 to 1992, Bob operated Big Briar on a small scale and kept building custom instruments. He was also representing Synton, a Dutch manufacturer of modular equipment, and providing consultation services to other music technology manufacturers. In addition, Bob served as Kurzweil Music Systems' Vice President of New Product Research from 1984 through 1989, and taught music technology courses at the University of North Carolina at Asheville from 1989 to 1992.
Recently I did a project for crunching out MD5 hashed on windows and linux.
Linux was faster by 1/3 and mainly because of less time was spend waiting for the system to finish the i/o part.
Many space-farers go through a syndrome similar to depression after the novelty and excitement of the first few weeks in space wears off. It is marked by fatigue, lack of motivation, irritability, and problems sleeping.
They better make those soon-to-be-here flight to moon & mars entertaining, otherwise, they might get sued by guys who are able to pay 10+ milion for a vacation:)
But the nanotransistors are just a few hundred millionths of a metre in size -roughly 100 times smaller than the components used in today's microprocessors. They could, therefore, be used to create microchips several orders of magnitude more powerful than the ones used in computers today, with no increase in chip size.
How about the heat? Anyone? Will it increase by 100? How does the heat production increase with decrease in the size of the components anyway?
"One must remember that for the Pentium chips which now have over 500 million transistors, the progenitor was a simple integrated circuit with two transistors in 1958," Bandaru says. "We are probably at the same stage with Y-junctions and the future looks good."
40-50 years?! Talking about hyping the market in advance;)
A good, very intelligent and experienced programmer can develop scores of times faster than the average one, because:
- There isn't a need to go and ask simple questions all the time around.
- Development experience gives a 'mental' outline of what the end thing will look like
- Intelligence comes handy when one is 5 level deep in a nested function (which can't be simplified) and trying to add another 2 levels at once.
The Commission said it believes dropping Element 1--the 5 WPM Morse examination--would "encourage individuals who are interested in communications technology, or who are able to contribute to the advancement of the radio art, to become amateur radio operators."
Was learning Morse so much of an obstacle for new members? Personally, I had to learn Morse long time ago, and it's not hard at all.
On the other hand, maybe with the development of the digital technologies, the analog radio technology potential members are just not bothering looking into it.
The FCC said it did not believe a new entry-level license class was warranted because current Novice and Tech Plus licensees already can easily upgrade to General. "We also note that, if our proposal to eliminate telegraphy testing in the amateur service is adopted," the FCC continued, "a person who is not a licensee will be able to qualify for a General Class operator license by passing two written examinations, and that a person who is a Technician Class licensee will be able to qualify for a General Class operator license by passing one written examination." The FCC said it does not believe either path to be unreasonable.
Written examinations? Nobody has to type the Morse anymore? Anyone here who got his license recently care to shed some light on this one?
For a dozen years Id has been the top dog, the guy to beat, the pater familia to the first-person shooter. But one day, the industry changed. The consumer changed. It's hard to put one's finger on it.
Doom 3? Anyone who has played CS at a LAN party can tell him what's changed.

maybe less popular movies can be released directly to dvd?
$80 = dvd player
Imagine a crashed UFO somewhere on this planet. A small green guy crawls on the ground breathing heavily "acetyleeeeneee, acetyleeene...".
why not move the cell phone numbers to a separate area code then?
Please tell a geek deeply rooted in electrical and software systems, why this is helpful and why it couldnt be replaced with a simpler solution...
;)
Maybe teach them to clean keyboards?

So, no hardware supports is officially yet, but with Vista you can watch it on you pc (under reduced resolution anyway)...
although I like new music (especially electronic), still, there isn't anything even close to the combination of mozart + piano.

kids, it's the true power the developers have in the open source projects... now for the next lesson: sales.
Overlapped? I'm not quite following you.
When doing the testing I disabled every service not needed by default for the operating system to work. Including sound, network, logging, etc.
I don't think there was anything causing much disturbance on the I/O side.
Recently I did a project for crunching out MD5 hashed on windows and linux. Linux was faster by 1/3 and mainly because of less time was spend waiting for the system to finish the i/o part.

what was there when it all started: galaxy or a black hole?
that someone had broken in and stolen an untold number of passwords and usernames that its customers and employees use to login at Cisco.com
'Untold'? Is that the latest for 'unknown' ? Or maybe the meaning is 'all'?
As a result, to protect our registered Cisco.com users, we're taking the proactive step of resetting Cisco.com passwords
Proactive resetting? Can someone explain me what this actually means?

TowerStream typically charges about $600 a month for a 1.5mbps connection
Isn't this a bit on the expensive side?
How about posting a request on sourceforge.net with the description of the needed porting skills?
Or even looking at the already ported applications similar to your and asking the developers if they are available, or can they point someone else?
Bypassing captchas?
I wonder whats next...
