They use magical thinking. Otherwise they would be a physical therapist or a orthopedic doctor.
Well, true enough I suppose.
That's assuming what you say is actually true. You wouldn't be the first person to go to a chiropractor, be told lies about there spine, and when it got better through normal stretching and exercise claim all the benefit.
I've had the "real" doctors notice the problems, and I don't believe a placebo can fix something like that.
Was he an MD? in some states they don't have to be. I man they'll wear a white coat and call themselves Dr.
I'm can legally call my self a Dr. I got an online degree in religious studies. IN fact I can do several magical thinking based 'therapies' Not that I would, just an example how easy it is to get the public to give you credence.
Doesn't make me a MD.
Yea, he's an actual MD... or at least I thought he was. I'll double check next time I'm in the office.
You're right, and I believe it DOES work. I haven't tried ripping something with CSS protection since I set it up, but I see log output that suggests it looked for (and failed to find) CSS to decode.
For some reason dvdread came into my mind, not dvdnav. Shrug.
No, you are wrong. CDs and DVDs are digital media. The information is contained in the transitions between pits/lands dyes or phase-changes (for recordables/rewritables)
It uses libdvdread. libdvdread will use libdvdcss if it's available.... so you just have to make sure you have it in a location the dynamic loader can find it (eg with all the other dll/so files in it's installation)
Not necessarily. If you have an actual problem that they fix, then it was worth it, no?
Crooked spine and pelvis... not crooked any more. I can walk/run for extended periods without crippling pain, now. I can actually move my neck around to it's fullest extent without hearing lovely grinding sounds.
Of course, he didn't hook me up to magical machines. He looked at an xray, took some measurements, and did some tweaking, and took some more measurements. Same kind of thing any other doctor would do, I'd expect?
Almost all violins are made with the same materials and are copies of the same designs. So long as they meet some baseline of quality in construction and materials, it becomes largely a matter of personal preference for the performer in terms of what sound they like and what instrument they want to play.
You do realize these strings were made from a material that has never before been used (nor anything similar to it)?
You are essentially saying that a violin made from wood and one made out of aluminum will sound exactly the same.
My point is figuring out and getting to him, to even flip him, was good work. My "option C" was there just in case the guy is a scumbag and made it easy, so he could rat on the rest for the lulz.
Usually you flip someone at the bottom and worm your way in - this was the reverse of that.
It is possible for bit flips to happen when files are read or written. There's lots of places this can happen, and lots of reasons it could. Perhaps you got unlucky and a cosmic ray interacted with something inside that transistor. Maybe that memory chip's voltage supply isn't as consistent as it should be. You get the idea (I hope).
There's a reason parity bits and such are so important. It's not bulletproof simply because it's digital.
Only big crufty things like IBM iSeries machines do all the error checking on the whole pipeline. That's one of the reason they are so slow and crufty (relatively) and I suppose so expensive - all that checking is difficult to do while staying out of the way. (though to be fair I'm sure most of that cruftyness and expensiveness is because it's IBM)
I find this little bit of video to be a useful visualization of the effect. The part that matters starts at 1m48s, the rest is specific to the software etc.
However at 0m46s he bounces between interpolation methods - one of which is designed to filter out stuff that goes over the nyquist. You can hear there is an audible difference, despite the fact that nothing inside the human hearing range is modified.
The point that I link to (1m48s) he drops the sample rate down to 11khz so it can be more easily demonstrated. A tone sweep is played, and the generated tone and aliased frequencies are visible on the waterfall display.
True and all, however those frequencies you can't hear can interact with those you can. I can't say I've heard an example of this actually happening, but theoretically it does.

No. You're fucking wrong.

Deal with it, or die with your business model.
No, you are wrong. CDs and DVDs are digital media. The information is contained in the transitions between pits/lands dyes or phase-changes (for recordables/rewritables)
Nope. Did it show you the strikethrough on the preview?
DMCA says yes. Civil disobedience says no.
... when they decided to make that a Pro feature only
... and you're trying to convince us to look at it? You just did the opposite.
It uses libdvdread. libdvdread will use libdvdcss if it's available.... so you just have to make sure you have it in a location the dynamic loader can find it (eg with all the other dll/so files in it's installation)
Hell you'd do a service by finding them and telling them their shit's broken.
You should probably complain to your local FCC field office. They can and do hunt those kinds of people down.
What if the jammer kills grandpa's pace-maker, and thus grandpa?
That's either a fucked up jammer or a fucked up pace-maker.
Just make sure he doesn't get caught up thinking you are asking to divide 100 by 10.0000000000000235. After all, you said "10" specifically.
Visual Basic? Where the hell did that come from?
Apologies. The "All New Slashdot 2.0" makes nesting look ambiguous past a few levels.

We went to the same Chiropractor.

The silk and the adhesive they place on the silk is not the same thing. Dragline silk does not had adhesive.
Dragline silk is not the more delicate flexible stuff, right?
I'm under the impression it's THAT stuff that's so damn difficult to make, not the dragline?
They don't - he used dragline silk, which does not have the "glue" applied to it.
No. My point was that there's no damn difference. You seem to be thinking I said something else.
