Comment Re:To curb terrorism (Score 1) 219

Don't restrict the idea of an 'imposer' to only colonization by a homogenous large group in the country that is imposed upon. For example, puppet governments, financial and diplomatic support of dictatorships, mercenaries, wars by proxy, military incursions, wars without ground troupes, all the ways to bias elections, secret service's actions, economic or geopolitical interests, etc.

Comment Re:Not really missing vinyl (Score 1) 433

I'm still wondering about something like this: "Nyquist frequency - The highest frequency *continuous signal* that can be represented by a discreet signal (for a given sampling frequency)"

And what band-limited means in practice.

To simplify, take my original three sinwaves, as the signal progresses there are at least 3 peaks every 19,800th of a second, if I'm sampling at around 40,000 time a second how can I 'catch' all peaks with a sample.

I can see that sampling over time can be taken into account but it seems like a bit much to expect something like say 20 violons each playing a more or less 9.8khz signal at the same time to be faitfully reproduced by sampling at 20khz.

Or am I still missing something.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'summed',

Not sure this is a good example but suppose for input you have a sinewave at 19,800 hz, one at 19,900 hz, and one at 20,000 hz and the second and third wave follow the first by 1/20,000 of a second and 1/19,000 seconds respectively, what would the output look like if you sampled at 41khz?

I did mess up my response to your "universally" comment. I should have said that it was obvious it wasn't universal. Or do you have a reference that it was universal.

Well, he did all of those things. Did you miss it? It's well-publicized.

Oh give it up. Link to something. Randy did not do any of those. Someone else who was close to him did.

The media, as it happens, were universally skeptical of "Carlos"

Universally. Not really. Some skeptical, some more, some less.

I'm not surprised that he lied, considering the risks he took

Kellogg's flat out lied about the great taste of their breakfast cereal. Flat out lied.

considering the risks he took. Identity theft, passport fraud, the list goes on

Yeah, right. What are *you* trying to imply with a list of things Randy did not do.

I just read it. Basically nothing was said about food in the review, it was about the quality of service from the time they, the reviewer and her mother, arrived at the restaurant till the time they left. Where she went wrong I think is when she said a waitress was a harpy, and the restaurant owner or manager (the wording is not clear) was pretentious and acting like a diva.
