  1. Re:Big deal on Pope Denounces Some Biotech as Affront to 'Human Dignity' · · Score: 1

    If any religious person loses their ability to reason from religion, they missed the point. God created reasonable men and a logical world - which is why we have science and math that makes sense. Explain to me how Catholicism is at eh "head of the pack" in affronting human dignity.

    You can't say you're Catholic if you ignore the Pope. If you think he makes an "ass of himself, you aren't paying attention.

    God will grant a soul and a spiritual soul to a baby boen out of marriage. Why would he not grant a soul to a cloned baby. God gave man free will. God gave man the ability to procreate. Cloning may be "against God's will" but He will not punish the resultant child for the sins the the "parent(s)"

    why? I'm a geek catholic and see no problem with what the pope says here.

    It not that they just need to make their money back, but there has to be a chance of a BIG profit to make it worth the risk. This is the same for oil companies. It costs millions to develop something that could be a waste of money

    no - this is a good example of why businesses don't want to hire union workers. If you are easily replaceable by others who want your job, you don't get that much say in your pay rate.

    wow - you missed the point of that comment

  8. Re:Creationism in Europe? on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    I feel that the term "creationism" is taken by the fundamentalist-humans-riding-dinosaurs crowd. The term "Intelligent Design" fits more with the God-guided-evolution view.

    the amplifier or tweeter may not be able to reproduce that high, but the sampling rate will affect much lower frequencies as well. Also, the amplifier may still attempt to reproduce the higher frequencies causing distortions in the audible range.

  15. Re:24/96? on Speculation On a Lossless iTunes Store · · Score: 1

    This page has a good write up about the problems with sampling rates and Nyquist (which has to do with data rates, not high fidelity) with some images to show what sampling does to analog. The pictures show the sampled data, and you could, of course, fix some of it with oversampling, but remember, oversampling is just guessing at what was originally there. The author is a bit extreme in parts (and the rest of the site), but

  16. Re:24/96? on Speculation On a Lossless iTunes Store · · Score: 1

    but a 22.05 khz sine wave sampled at 44.1 comes out as a triangular wave at best - meaning information is lost. Yes you can oversample, but you might as well keep what you had instead of throwing some away and then guessing what to add back.

    they never said it was uncompressed - just lossless. ALAC gets similar compression as FLAC, which is around 50%

    if it's "ILLEGAL wire tapping" then there has to be laws, otherwise the phrase is nonsense. So, your question is pointless.

    the point is that $10 is worth more now than $20 is a year from now because you can do something with the money and make it grow.

  21. Re:Go Google on Google Goes Green · · Score: 1

    Would you rather I give you $10 today or $20 a year from now? Almost any idiot would take the $10. You don't know if I'll be around to pay you in a year or if the dollar will be worth enough in a year to warrant even double the return. Time Value of Money is a considerable thing to overlook with statements like: "some companies are willing to stake their immediate earnings on potentially much greater gains in the future"

    Yes, we expect these groups to do what they do to grab attention. However, we expect them to use their attention to tell the truth about something, not just create hype. Once people find out that they lied or stretched the facts, no amount of publicity/attention will help their message because people ignore them expecting more of the same.
