Allow me to correct myself: I see from other comments that it was the longest available recording of Beethoven's Ninth, not von Karajan's, that was 74 minutes, and the basis for the CDs capacity.
Either way, I'd love to play that 4th horn solo someday!
I remember reading that the reason that 74 minutes was chosen as the capacity of the audio CD was that von Karajan's recording of Beethoven's Ninth was 74 minutes long and that had to fit on a CD.
Interesting? I think he was going for Funny. I guess the second sentence could be interesting, but the actual vinyl debate to which it refers would be not so interesting. . .
Good choice. From what I hear UMR has a very good ChemE program. AFAIK, a lot of the people working at Brewer Science (a company that makes specialized chemical products for the semiconductor industry) are UMR grads, being right there in Rolla and all.
Good idea, except the viscosity of the fluid, even if small for a liquid, becomes an issue with something rotating at 5400 rpm or faster in a fluid. Disk drives would need way more power and turn it into a lot of heat if they had to do that.
Based on the names of the people arrested, there could be other issues, immigration related, perhaps. Not that they do much about that here. Hillsboro is sometimes called Hillsburrito. --
Police release names of those arrested in piracy raid Posted by The Oregonian June 10, 2007 16:16PM Categories: Breaking News, Washington County
Beaverton police released the names today of 10 people arrested Saturday in a large piracy raid at two popular swap meets.
Accused of selling counterfeit CDs and DVDs are: America Benito, 32; Laura Morales Carrasco, 27; Silvia Hernandez, 44; Daniel Flores Armenta, 22; Jose Ibarra Romero, 19; Ma Maldonado, 46; Jose Romero Esquivel, 36; Miguel Orduna Alonso, 28; Victor Garcia, 37; and Martha Tellez, 36.
Officers seized more than 50,000 items worth about $758,000, including counterfeit music CDs and movie DVDs and knockoff designer purses, sunglasses and clothing at the M&M Swap Meet and Millennium Flea Market in Hillsboro.
One industry official called the piracy raid the largest in Oregon and one of the largest in the country. Search warrants are expected to be released Monday.
I would have thought Jim Cramer would do very well at a simulated investment strategy game. OTOH, his show is on CNBC so he's an employee, and usually employees are not allowed to participate in contests. Oh, that's NOT a typo? It really is Jim Kraber? Never mind.
I'm not a Soprano's fan, so I don't know the chronology of the story line, but couldn't they kill his character and still do a movie later - a prequel or something?
I served on a nuclear sub (USS Kamehameha (SSBN 642) and the guys who drive (the helmsmen and planesmen) are basically the same guys who work in the galley cleaning up and go around waking people for the next watch (kinda like human alarm clocks). Not too hard to fill those positions. Now there are people telling them what to do who have more knowledge and experience and people telling *those* people what to do and so on. . .

Too bad they can't just get on the computer and type a reply!

But Girl Scout Cookies on the other hand. . .
Gee, I dunno, maybe they asked Reddi-Whip (the ones who put it in cans of whipped cream) for some ideas?
"hardware breaks"?
Depends. It doesn't have to. I've had a Kyocera CD player since about 1989 that still works perfectly.
posting to undo a bad mod. sorry. very funny.
I agree, but it's Philadelphia Orchestra (not Philharmonic). LA and NY have orchestras called "Philharmonic" though. Sorry, I'm an orchestra nerd.

In fact, NASA was created in 1958.

An attack from Microsoft's perspective? Conspiracy theorists, have at it!
Yeah, that's it, we're really in Iraq and Afghanistan now to enforce patents, huh?

at full power, it doubles as an arc welder!
Transpose == change to a different key.
Example:
Original
A A Bflat C C Bflat A G F F G A A G G
Transposed down a fourth
E E F G G F E D C C D E E D D
*I don't know why. I'm sure someone here does though.
That's funny. But it's #3, ri-i-ight?
Well, which is it?
Some (good) definitions of efficiency involve cost.
Well, you've heard of a "five finger discount", right? Maybe this guy had a birth defect.
