Exactly. Even if you're not very good at sending or receiving Morse, you will have a distinctive "fist" - just as distinctive as your handwriting or the sound of your voice. As you get better, your speed and accuracy will improve but your fist will sound just the same.
Machine-sent Morse is as weirdly unintelligible as synthesized speech, and for much the same reason - the inflections are missing or wrong.
HOWEVER - the actions of this small group of zealots does not excuse folks like wisnoskij, to whom my original response was directed, from their fucked up, narcissistic world view that apparently involves locking rape victims in asylums.
Good work on missing the point to an almost aggressive degree.
The original poster wasn't talking about "locking rape victims in asylums", he was talking about getting people who are so mentally and emotionally damaged that they are likely to commit violent acts and harm themselves or others simply because they hear a "trigger", and requiring them to have the psychological and psychiatric treatment that they so clearly need before they can be safe among the rest of society.
A bit like slashdot trolls, really.
Actually as the other reply to my previous post said, V8s are more common in large cars and trucks, which is a fair point.
But even then, why would you cripple a large vehicle with a wheezy old petrol engine?
That's the first post I've made in the thread, and the gp was in reply to someone else.
While I take your point that people are swayed by performance and reliability, I'd still say that most people don't really care what actually powers the car.
Maybe you're right, though - in the US most people seem to choose cars powered by heavy, thirsty, underpowered V8s even though they are hopelessly outperformed by modern European diesels.
Most people don't choose cars based on the bits that make them go
Really? I've never bought a car that didn't have the "bits that make them go."
I never thought I'd ever see one so skilled in the art of missing the point.
How much exactly do you care about the "bits that make it go" in your current car? Who manufactured the gearbox? Who manufactured the engine? What kind of timing belt does it use?
The steel chassis could easily be very much weaker than the plastic body.
Materials aren't only chosen for their strength. Maybe they want to use a steel chassis which is less likely to deform under light stress, but will catastrophically fail well before the plastic panels do.
People don't choose to be Mexican. They do choose to break into your house, but that's not related to where they come from. There isn't really much of a connection between where someone comes from, and burglary.
People choose to be Christian. They also choose to plant bombs under people's cars because they happen to follow a slightly different flavour of Christianity. There *is* a connection between having a particular set of beliefs (namely, that anyone who doesn't choose your way of life should die) and terrorism.
It's really pretty simple. I don't see where you get anything about race from, that's entirely down to you.
Why, what happened then, here? Apart from the news was full of some crap about a building falling over somewhere in Mexico or something.
These guys race cars that require serious endurance to drive, they aren't anything like the POS you drive
Yeah, they're a little bit faster but to gain that speed they have sacrificed all the handling, braking and ride that make "ordinary" cars bearable.
They do it in heat at speeds that would make you crap your pants
Why not have air conditioning? Touring cars have it. Le Mans entrants have it.
These guys understand aerodynamics and they have to react constantly just to keep the cars on track
That's because American manufacturers haven't discovered suspension yet. Get out on the track in a straight-from-the-showroom BMW 335d and see how it goes
They risk their lives and exhaust themselves doing it while breathing monoxide.
Why not use diesel engines, which are simpler, much more powerful and cleaner - and don't produce any carbon monoxide because they always run lean?
Yeah, because no-one ever gets injured. My point is more that there have never been any terrorist attacks by Muslims here, only by Christians.
Most terrorists are Christians. I've never been blown up by a Muslim.
Paying isn't hugely convenient (or, it *wasn't* - they've sorted their payment gateway now) because it required a credit card.
What prompted me to go for the paid service was the 30-day free trial. The adverts were deeply annoying and spoilt my enjoyment of the service to the extent that I just couldn't put up with it for more than a couple of songs. Having it for a month for free demonstrated that it actually works extremely well (modulo a few bugs in the Linux client) and it's well worth the money.
Another issue is that most people don't "see" adverts, and will skip over these.
Video and audio adverts are the worst - one of the things that annoys me about Spotify is the adverts, which are so annoying they make me less likely to even pay for the service and just stick to playing my own music. Every three songs I get some guy quack-quack-quacking away in a foreign language, which surely makes no commercial sense.
It's going to be very short range, or *ridiculously* high power. If you go for the latter, then all you need to do is look for the thing emitting collossal blasts of RF pink noise every so often.
You can't frequency hop very far, though. If you do, you'll run out of the passband of your aerial and the efficiency will suck. If you use a suitably wide front-end on your receiver then you can tell that *something* is there, well enough to triangulate it.
