lately i've been recording stuff i like off the radio. i don't have time to listen when the shows i like are on so record for listening while walking the dog or flying.
with all the good radio stations available via IP these days why rent recordings?
Also, people(context USA) have been recording broadcast programs for personal use for decades and nary a one has paid a fine or gone to jail...
open source support company, it looks like there's a bit of the rising temp in the mechanics market as well. I do not know if this is ready for announcement by IBM yet, so no more names...
"1. Reverse transformation for any interesting case (note that no places are actually revealed on their example!) will always be close to singular, that means in practice that your noises (due to raster, finite precision, and just measurement error) will eat any signal in result.
2. You should know not only amplitude, but *phase* of the source signal, that means for light that you have to use coherent light source and utilize interference on the receiver. "
I don't get what you mean by places.
As for errors, are they not mostly a result of the subjects texture? If the subject were a mirror and one placed a mask in front of the source array, wouldn't it be possible to reconstruct the shadow from either POV to a resolution that's dependent only on the number of array elements?
I don't get the 'phase problem'. Doesn't this spatial array of sources provide the same phase information(although maybe not with the same resolution) as one could acquire from a point coherent source?
Drive so that you minimize your braking. And shift 4200-4500RPM when accelerating. You'll see a noticeable increase in city mileage. If you mix city and freeway, keep it at 65 on the freeway.
Before you do any of this set tire pressure to max recommended.
In the 98 Civic and 94 E-150 van I get 20% better mileage if I drive as I've recommended above.
Thanks. Yep, stuff goes up and stuff comes down. Oh my aching AAI(still buying) shares.
AAI not really offtopic as they have that big reservation system that was supposed ot be a Microsoft showcase and it's still not working right after 2 years. I'm not yet good enought at this investing stuff to be able to figure out how much money AAI has sunk into what appears to be a big pool of contaminated sludge rather than the SOA reservation system that was touted.
denentures are debt. Michael did not invest in Red Hat in the sense that he bought into the companies long term success. He loaned them money. If they can't pay it back, Michael's $(99.5*10^6) may not be sunk. It might be a secured loan. I'll admit, I did not RTFA carefully enough to know if it is secured or not. Of course if the rate of return is high enough it's unlikely that RHAT won't be around long enough for principal recovery to be gravy on the steak.
My $12K in Novell stock is different. It represents faith in the company as opposed to faith in the company being able to pay me back.
Then again, Michael may be playing off Redhat against Microsoft to get bettr pricing, just like he does with AMD&Intel which could well result in the loan paying off many times over for his company, which he owns a lot of, in short order.
Nowthat Senor dillitante investor has spoken, let's here from some folks who know what they're talking about:-)
There is no such thing as 'humane' without humans.
As for ignorance, animals are not rational. The do not take note of short term climatic variation and conserve resources. This leads to cycles of overpopulation followed by starvation, disease, and death. It's the driving force behind evolution. However, it's far from "humane".
As for the forest fires, you are showing your ignorance. If you'll do a little research you'll find that the USFS, as a result of political pressure riven by 'emotional environmentalists' and encouraged by an influx of inexperienced idealistic young foresters changed their policy regarding fire control and prevention. The huge forest fires we saw a few years back resulted from: 1)Not allowing fires to burn naturally when they did start. 2)Cessation of managed burning. The uneducated squealed, lobbied, protested,... that management was 'unnatural'. Well sure it's unnatrual, but the leap from unnatural to evil damnation of the environment is pure immagination. Unless, your goal is to maximize the rate of evolution with a 'natural' environment.
As for population control, it's a political hot potato on both sides of the fence. It's opposed both by religious zealots and the guilt ridden component of the left(which is egged on by politicos jockying for power amongst the very groups that are suffering because of overpopulation).
You can't have it both ways. If you want 'humanity' then you need management which includes humans. If you want 'nature' then you've got to accept that humans are just another animal and the overpopulation and damage to resources will, in the long run, sort itself out by way of evolution.
"...he only reason "HUNTING IS 100% NECESSSARY" is because of the uncontrolled expansion of the human population..."
Management(including hunting) is necessary in order to control populations to achieve a more comfortable environment for humans and animals. Even with their intelligence, forsight, and ability to rationalize, humans can not manage their own populations. In a world without humans, animals are not better at handling this task.
"The most "humane" thing to do would be to stop encroaching on their environment and leave them be."
Yes, let the population grow to the point that the earth and everything else within reach is stripped bare and the deer are in such a sorry state that no one would want to eat them. Full of worms, covered with ticks, ribs showing, genetically defective members left to reproduce. It's much more humane than management. I do not exagerate and if you got your ass out in the woods you could see for yourself.
Oh you say, what about the 'natural' predators. Sure, we've got coyotes. They do not reproduce as fast as the deer. Eventually they will catch up, overshoot, and we'll have coyotes snatching precious pussy and maybe even some of 'the children'.
Yes, natural resource management, in addition to being good for the environment is 'good for the children'.
You know all those forest fires we had out West a couple of years ago. They were the direct consequence of your IGNORANT 'leave nature alone to be nature' attitude.
I don't disagree. So should the chainsaw be like a toaster, and the chain brake is a great step in this direction. However, failure to pay attention to simple limitations of use can turn ones femroal artery into a scaled down version of that geyser at Yellowstone park. Does this make the chainsaw bad? No. Does it make the chainsaw user bad? No, provided he's only ripping through his/her/undecided anatomy. The problem with the computer is that, regardless of OS and for many applications, it's a chain reaction accident waiting to happen for users who are inattentive to it's limitations.
These are facts and facts don't have attitude.
How then can one argue that a particular OS or application and by extension the PeeCee should be treated as a toaster BEFORE it's as innocuous?
You can also buy a chainsaw with significant horsepower for under $500 and the automobile, in the USA, is ubiquitous. Neither is forgiving of inattentive operation.
be brainwashed into believing that the computer is an easy to use appliance, like a toaster or TV, and NOT a potentially hazardous tool like a chainsaw.
That this has become the holy grail of huge numbers of Linux afficianados is likely the worst thing there is for Linux. Instead of promoting Linux as the 'thinking man's alternative' most of it's fanbase has bought into the whole 'computer as appliance' mindset.
Give a man a bananna and he might choke on the skin. Teach him to peel and he'll be hell's bells.

abandoned on the side of the road on trash day, it's yours. this how where I get all my lawn equipment. mower, weedwhacker, seed spreader, wheel barrow. other stuff too, radio, tv, computer, coffee pot, couch, lawn chairs, hammock, pots and pans, dishes, building materials,... it's about the only way to live anymore what with the damn taxes.
abandoned on public property? I don't know.around here, abandoned cars and motorbikes are removed by a towing company that has a contract. if no one claims, they get sold for storage. not so easy for the amateur dumpster diver
My computer experience progressed as... PDP8 & 11 HP MX series & TRS-80 MS-DOS & big CDC iron SunOS & NT Linux & NT-2000 with a smattering of other unix flavors mixed in over the years
but i've only used the 'windows' stuff for running tax prep software:-)
So I can runas from the command line? Looks like it. Will give it a try next time 2000 is running.
Run search on umich and ECC and you'll find all sorts of interesting stuff they've been doing there. Now off to walk dog over tob watch the tail end of a concrete pour on a midrise that's going up about a mile from the house.
construction, but scaled composites, USA company, has done some rather innovative work. Space ship one, voyager,...
Innovative is not always practical. Building construction is about cost. Steel reinforced aggregate is still the least expensive in most applications. Especially when you can pour at 5AM and 24 hours later pull your forms off 3000+ PSI material.
I know a company in Georgia that puts up chicken coops using a robot. They erect a jig, the robot sprays and trims a foam form and then sprays concrete on the interior and exterior. A friends machine shop makes the spray guns, which were designed in his shop.
I think the main reason for slow adoption is not so much the codes, as the lobbying against change on the part of established companies. This is changing as the old boys are retiring in droves. Hawaii recently approved bamboo for use in resdential construction...finally. This is old technology that is good, especially where termites are such a big problem.

IMO tablets don't have much of a market compared to there smaller brethren like the Sharp Zaurus.
Could be wrong though. Just haven't seen any tablets in use anywhere.

"... AMD's X2s consume no more power than single-core chips."
This is significant if you live in say Honolulu where electricity is 14cents/KWh or on Kauai where it's close to 22cents/KWh.

Why, in this day and age, is it necessary to 'restart' the whole friggin machine?
Is there a multi-user version of windows yet? Why do I have to log out as 'user' before I can log on as 'administrator'?
Maybe OT but not 'troll' or 'flamebait'. I'd really like some response from folks who know how windows works, inside.
