They do do some clever audio munging^h^h^h^h^h^h^hprocessing to make it sound "fuller." And they claim to do it in hardware ironically, especially as they don't do anything that couldn't be done with cheap DSP.
Buy an alarm clock from a drug store. They often have AM/FM radios thrown in there.
Why does it have to "not look like crap?" Why can't it look like you didn't overspend on sony quality?
Now.. whatever happened to mass-produced small crystal radios? Those'd be interesting for hurricane kits, especially if they could tune the broadcast FM band (but obviously not as an FM receiver. You can still hear FM with an AM reciever, it just doesn't sound all that great. Voice is fine, though.)
His plan has three components, do you really need a pretty picture? It sounds like it'd be a pretty simple AM transmitter, and have lots and lots of out-of-band transmission.
What's so unbelievable about this? Most are, in fact, floating platforms. There are very few "texas tower" style platforms for the simple reason that it's far cheaper to tow an existing one to a new location when it dries up than to build an entire platform at every drilling site.
The best place for nuclear leftovers is.. back into the nuke plant. If it's still hot, it could still be hot. Stupid politics disrespecting breeder reactors.
It may also be that parents aren't f'ing raising their kids to have a little decorum. Why pick at the scab? What was the point? I'm sure she's real proud of herself for jerking around a bunch of people.
MIT has some of the smartest students there are. She is clearly not one of them.
If they'd attached them to the signs of willing shop owners, it wouldn't have been a problem. As evidenced by the fact that the shops they placed them in weren't a problem. If they'd put it on a Billboard, they might've pissed off the prudish, but the prudes would just complain and possibly litigate. They wouldn't cause city wide overcaution induced traffic.
But when they put them in a hard to access location on a freeway support, they went way over the line. The only way to handle that is to shutdown traffic on the affected segment (which requires closing off lanes quite far away and routing traffic through already crowded surface streets for just ONE device) and treat it with caution until it is determined to be harmless.
They had the option, at any time before there was a panic, to inform town officials or emergency responders of the nature of the devices. The best time would've been before placing them. The next best time would be right as soon as they started a commotion. The worst time was what they chose: wait until the city was in full panic mode and there was no way to deny their involvement.
No, their choice of placement, and their actions leading up to and following the event are strong evidence of their intent to cause national headline inducing panic in at least one city. Boston took the bait. Not a proud moment for Boston, but by no means a responsibility absolving level of overreaction.
I imagine the flatbed scanner option gets significantly more bearable if you slice off the spine and load the pages (sans cover) into the auto sheet feeder. Assuming they didn't already have access to unbound copies or original manuscripts. The worst part is probably the cleanup.
It becomes void, yes, but the cable companies can satisfy their legal obligations in two ways: offering a la carte, or going out of business.
The problem with such a ruling is that the cable companies would not be the ones that get to decide that. All the "content providers" have to do to kill the cable companies is simply not offer unbundled channels.
Also, what makes you think you'll pay any less under a la carte than you do now? They're not just going to take the price of a package and divide by the number of channels and charge that much per channel, you know.
Ask your professor about a "chase maneuver." that should get you on the right track.
Hohman Transfers are nice because they are minimum energy transfers (and not necessarily that if you've got more than two bodies and a lot of patience) if you've got a high-thrust impulse engine. (as in, it's only capable of short bursts of high thrusts. compare to continuous thrust options as seen in Deep Space 1.)
They are by no means the minimum time transfer if you've got Delta-V to spare.
"Dampen" doesn't mean what you think it means. Or rather, it wouldn't if people would stop adding superfluous letters to seem more intelligent.
The word is damp. The infinitive is "to damp" and a device which damps is a damper. There's no need for the extra -en unless you want to have a confusing half-synonym for moisten.
On an orion, the pusher plate is connected to the main spacecraft body by shock absorbers. Quite similar to a gun recoil mechanism, I imagine, except that for manned flight it would spread the impulse out over a much longer time period. Timed just right, occupants of a habitat at the top of the structure would experience constant acceleration.
The main problem with Orion is that it doesn't solve a problem that exists. It has less Isp than some of the better electric propulsion options, and huge structure requirements. It is high thrust, high Isp, so it's main use would be getting off the planet, but its nature contraindicates ever being used within the atmosphere.
That's precisely the point. If a game is fun, it doesn't need to have a 40 hour arc. Now, granted, RPGs probably need more extended material. On the other hand, how long was "The Legend of Zelda," really?
Once upon a time, 5 hours was plenty of play-time and had plenty of replay-ability, too. Heck, without the ability to save, 5 hours was a bit long. How long did it really take to complete a game of Super Mario Bros. for instance?
This is actually bad for the profits of Canadian corporations that sell their products to the US for US dollars (Canada sells far more to the US that the US sells to Canada);emphasis mine.
Why, I submit that that is, in fact, the feedback mechanism responsible for the leveling of the currencies.
Um, you do realize that airbus is the result of a monopoly using its monopoly status to gain leverage in another market, right?
That would be the French Government's monopoly on ruling French people. It's not quite a true monopoly, but they're colluding with their only significant competitor, the German Government.

Isn't the next generation of GSM pretty much CDMA except the name?
Does Obama have a position on anything?
Perhaps because the model in this case is an American citizen, and a minor at that.

You do realize that that particular ad campaign was looking to provoke an incident. Boston was just unlucky enough to take the bait first.
Either that or their goal was to get the small number of people who already watch Adult Swim to continue to watch it...

Which is quite ironic, considering Orion was conceived as a way to reduce nuclear weapons stockpiles...

The contamination fear was not because of the plutonium, but the possibility of biological contamination.
Yeah, he retracted the "amateur sleuths" claim by applying a "conspiracy nut" label. Bad form, indeed.
Didn't the Venona project pretty much confirm a lot of the c. 1950 "communist scare" fears? What exactly are we supposed to learn from that, then?
This is going to go over a lot of heads now that Mel Gibson is persona non grata to the slashdot crowd.
Once upon a time, 5 hours was plenty of play-time and had plenty of replay-ability, too. Heck, without the ability to save, 5 hours was a bit long. How long did it really take to complete a game of Super Mario Bros. for instance?
Wouldn't that take thousands of years?
