  1. Re:you never? on PC Mag Gives Panther 5-Star Rating · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i think PCI sound boards will become a thing of the past.

    the future is USB audio/MIDI interfaces for those who don't need ridiculously low latency and FireWire audio/MIDI interfaces for those that do. even digidesign makes outboard pro tools systems

  5. Re:A Real Change on DARPA's Autonomous Vehicle Challenge Too Popular? · · Score: 1

    i don't think it would be that hard to have some sort of access control mechanism for certain roads. in europe most rail lines are completely fenced off. very few RR crossings on roads if any.

    in any case, i wouldn't expect this system to be in place for anything except highways for a LONG time

    it doesn't need to happen all at once.

    many busy highways have the High Occupancy Vehicle lane meant specifically for vehicles with multiple occupants.

    with autonomous vehicles you can drive closer together at a higher rate of speed. there could easily be similar bonuses for being in one of these bots.

  7. Re:Yeah right on Hercules USB DJ Console Reviewed · · Score: 1

    i think it went straight into your sound card, and the software took care of it.

    i don't remember if one soundcard could handle two input signals, but i'm guessing not.

    but there is another final-scratch-like system that uses Max/MSP to spit out SMPTE timecode which can control video, audio, you name it.

  8. Re:Yeah right on Hercules USB DJ Console Reviewed · · Score: 1

    i hate to say it, but MOST new dance music comes out on vinyl first.

    if you stick to DJing digital formats only you won't be able to keep up with new releases.

    of course you can buy a turntable and encode everything but goddam that's a pain.

    Yes, I remember buying a book called "The Linux Doctor" or something similar back in the days of the 2.0 kernel.

    Unfortunately, the only way for me to run Linux at the time was on top of Mach using Apple's mkLinux. Oops.

    my last roommate was an mba condidate. her room was an absolute mess, she would often crank the heat and leave the windows open, and she never bothered to turn the stove off or shut the door when she left the house.

    maybe that has something to do with it.

    Warp 1 is stated to be c in both the TOS and TNG warp scales in the Star Trek TNG Technical Manual.

  22. Re:That's all nice and well on MIT's New Music Sharing Network · · Score: 1

    That could very well a Canadian restriction but what is the point of college radio if not to play stuff that's NOT played by a commercial station? The only content restrictions I have are:
    -no slander, libel, etc.
    -no radio station politics on the air
    -no naughty words in songs except between 10pm and 6am and no naughty words outside of an artistic context
    -can't advertise
    -can't say another station's call letters
    -gotta say what station it is once an hour
    -gotta play public service announcements every hour, and talk up other people's shows

    I think that's more of a restriction made by the station management. I break all of those rules. Of course, I'm on college radio, so I don't have to run my playlists past Clear Channel ahead of time like most commercial stations do.
