  1. Re:Not really surprising on Oceanic Sounds of Last Year's Earthquake · · Score: 1

    ya I realize quakes are not instantaneous detonations, however any confined-spectra wavelet cloning that occurs in the uncompressed audio file would account for SOME of the sustain....I have no idea how much, and from the sonographic shots of the seafloor after the quake, it's glaringly evident this was a monsterous cascaded release of energy

    thunder sustain is produced primarily via reflection, diffusion, and refraction through thermal layers of the atmosphere and the ground. As well, assuming the strike was close to the ground, the initial impulse of a lightning strike is enough to buckle the ground, creating a secondary impulse travelling upwards like a dome of sound: milliseconds behind the primary reflection the above will occur on a large expanse of flat land adding terrain, vegetation, manmade structures etc, will significantly alter the characteristics of thunder, but are not responsible for the general sustain. The same thing occurs underwater, but with a lot more efficiency

  4. Maintaining both platforms is not an option? on Speculation on Real Reasons Behind Apple Switch · · Score: 1

    There will be a transition phase down the road anyway.....why not give people the choice? Windows runs on a lot more than just 2 CPU's (barely) What if OSX was available for multiple platforms as well? We've been told the expense of porting the dominant application base is a minor expense...why not maintain both markets?

    Sure they're prohibitively expensive but if you truly want a high capacity permanent archival storage medium, DVD glass masters stored in their special cases can survive extreme light, heat, and evil spirits: http://www.disctronics.co.uk/technology/manuf/rep_ master.htm#Glass%20Master%20Preparation
