    The answer is still yes.

    And really, is there any insect more horrifying in appearance than a crab or lobster?

    Oh yes. There most certainly are.

    Yea, well you're not the one who ate shirako...

    Why? WHY would anyone eat that!?

    I'm not sure why anyone would see this and think "I want to eat that!" Shameless plug: I took that photo.

    I draw the line here:

    If, in it's "ready-to-eat" form, still resembles the animal when it's alive: no-go.

    I won't eat anchovies, not because of the taste, but because it still looks like a fish. Likewise, I wouldn't eat a grasshopper.

    Good luck cutting up some grasshopper filets though... unlike other food products, you don't have much you can do beyond presenting them as-is or mashing them into paste.

    Yea, because English should look like Chinese. Sounds fun!

    Well, if you're going to do it, be polite.

    They could have ran off with it anyway, or injured her for the trouble.

    It would be nice to see if the last 10 years have continued that trend, or reversed it.

    I don't either. However, I do have a knife, a rifle, a good long head-breaking stick, and a fake sword that could at least break an arm.

    I don't think it would work out so well for him.

    I can't see myself feeling very comfortable with a electronically-detonated grenade in my pocket that was manufactured in China.

    Chances are, either it won't go off when you need it - or it will go off in your pants.

    Doesn't have anything to do with skin color.

    Unless you're trying to suggest if -I- were to do it, you'd not shoot at me?

    Subtracting waves doesn't work so well if the waves are not the same frequency and phase.

    They will not be, in this case.

    The best you can do is do a Fourier analysis and then look for abnormal patterns.

  15. Re:Ping vs Knock on Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises · · Score: 1

    Then use a recorder.

    If you record above 44khz, you can play it back at a slower speed without losing information, either. When I do this (96khz down to 22khz) I can hear individual detonations, the camshaft spinning, etc.

    For those who are deaf, well, you can look at a spectrograph plot.

  16. Re:Screwdriver on Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that, the sound camera is going to be seeing all the reflections that you are complaining about.

  17. Re:Screwdriver on Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises · · Score: 2

    Combine that with a recorder that can do 96khz or the like - then load it up in an audio editor of your choice and set the sample rate back down (without resampling) and now you can hear all those crazy things going on that were too fast to hear properly.

    I used a Zoom H1 to poke around under my car's hood. You can hear each cylinder detonating distinctly, hear the camshaft rotating, etc.

  18. Re:So? on Vulnerability Found In Skyrim, Fallout, Other Bethesda Games · · Score: 1

    Let's zoom out, mmkay? The game is incredibly vast, and that the engine can handle it (and your saves are not 800mb each) is something that deserves a little respect.

    I find it amusing that you care about such a thing.

    What -I- find amusing is that we call it NASA, not USA. Though that would be hilarious too, because of the redundancy.

    After all, AFAIK NASA does not envelope CSA or whatever Mexico calls their version.
