It's less like having a cop reading information you have put up on a flyer and more like the cops having wiretaps on all of your associates. Which would be fine, with a good reason and a court order.
Since when does facebook offer a reasonable expectation of privacy? If you don't want it to be public, it shouldn't be on facebook.
Addendum: this is no longer the case on the front page, but page 2 is now broken in the same way. It seems to be caused by the image on "Listnr Wants to be 'Your Listening Assistant' (Video)".
I do not recall having problems with video posts before, so I still suspect some recent CSS changes are breaking things that were once working. Was the lesson not learned after Beta? Don't break things that currently work.
Did nobody at DICE test the CSS changes? Because the front page is broken on a 960px-wide window now, and it wasn't yesterday. Since that's a window pinned to half of a 1080p screen, and
Movies are where the good sound is. Uncompressed, high fideliety, etc. The good sound system in the home is the home theater.
Movies still have audio compression, but it's higher fidelity than most audio streams people listen to. Blu Ray offers 2-3 lossless formats, but, unless we're looking at a concert Blu Ray or something, I would be surprised to find that they're using those codecs.
He didn't give us the loudness wars. Mix engineers have very little to do with the loudness wars. Here's an example (yes, again, the irony of using YouTube for examples such as these is not lost on me), using an album that Scheps was recording engineer and mix engineer on, where the levels are drastically different due to the different mastering engineers.
Mastering is a difficult process, but for about 15-20 years, the sole goal has seemed to be to keep the "volume" the same from one track to the next, and make sure that it's as loud as possible. I still blame the multi-disc CD changers for the real kick off of the loudness wars.
Being an audio engineer, it pains me that this is considered good enough. That being said, my response was spurred because, in the post I replied to, you referred to it as HD audio. If what you get off YouTube (even in HD video) is considered HD audio, then iTunes has been selling people the equivalent of 4k ever since they did iTunes Plus.
As far as loudness wars are concerned, we've passed the peak of the wars imho. Albums are getting released with consideration for dynamics these days. I still look for an album mastered for vinyl because the lathe just can't handle the loudness that a lot of modern albums come out at.
Rather odd we're even worried about piracy anyway when likely every single one of the top 100 songs is also posted on YouTube, in full streaming HD audio and video.
You clearly do not know what HD audio is, YouTube doesn't even qualify as decent audio. Very good explanation from an audio engineer (ironically, found on youtube) is right here
Let's hope they didn't program it to read the comments.
You're right - different robots have already replaced humans for much of the fast-food process. All the humans do is slap the meat into a cooker for a precise amount of time, then piles all the ingredients in the right order. The meat, the sauce, the buns, were all made by machines.
Besides, this robot wouldn't be cooking fast-food. This would replace the actual chefs at actual restaurants, at least the low-end ones at first. Think "Applebees", not "McDonalds".
Thunderbolt is Sony/Apple competitior to the original USB. It is higher performing with I/O bound to the host vs in the peripherals of the original USB design. It was more expensive so USB won but due to its superior bandwidth and processing it is used for ilink/thunderbolt video cameras, vga dongles, and ethernet.
You sound like you're describing Firewire (developed by Apple, Sony, and a number of others), not Thunberbolt (developed primarily by Intel).
Thunderbolt comes with MS Surface and any Apple product to connect vga, ethernet, dvd, HDMI, video cameras, and other dongles. Mac users use them too. USB 2?? Well it can't handle these well or at all.
This paragraph confuses me, what are you talking about when you say USB can handle these well or at all? Dongles are almost always used on the USB port.
An easier explanation is that Thunderbolt is a functional, external PCIe bandwidth connection. I see it far more often in Pro Audio and Pro Video than any other purpose as its high bandwidth allows better access. It's still a young tech (2011) as opposed to USB (1996) and Firewire (1994), so there's plenty of things that still can come from it.
Think about it. We're not going to discover alien life by having it drop by for a visit. We're going to discover them by long-range communications, and reply the same way.
Lasers might not be a bad way to get a decent amount of bandwidth between stars, and we'd need a big freaking one to be visible at astronomic distances.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
