Tell you what, you look up the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem and then we'll talk.

Few doubt that a quality recording pressed to vinyl is going to be better than slapdash work pressed to CD. There is more to sound reproduction than the medium used to deliver it.

It is? Where does it record the timbre of the particular reed that I am using in my Saxophone?

There is also no way to record to an analog medium without loss of information. The question is, which loss is greater? The answer is, the loss to vinyl is greater than the loss to CD.

Back when CDs were new technology, people were going to great lengths to try to make the most perfect recording possible. I have an early CD of 1812 overture recorded using actual cannons. It is amazing and exceeds anything possible with vinyl. Because back in 1984 only audiophiles were buying CDs, great care was taken to deliver a high quality product.

However, once the masses started buying CDs no care was taken any more and we started having the loudness wars which threw out the very thing that CDs offered: greater dynamic range (i.e. from very quite violin solo to actual 17th century cannon).

Today, the tables are turned. Audiophiles are buying vinyl and the masses are buying compressed streams. Therefore, great care is taken to deliver a high-quality vinyl product.

Few doubt that a quality recording pressed to vinyl is going to be better than slapdash work pressed to CD. There is more to sound reproduction than the medium used to deliver it.

But can you rig a machine for me?

Or electricity

When I was a kid and we would occasionally visit a rural church for whatever reason I always heard the farmers talking about how because of the government and big agribusiness there wasn't any money in farming anymore. Then they all got in their brand-new Cadillacs and drove home.

Plus all the stuff to do and see on screens starting around then. I used to run around outside because I was bored.

Less hypocrisy from the side that claims intellectual honesty.

One would stop it by not commenting on Slashdot. How hard is that?

Yes! Let's start adding to the autolog of collective nouns!

Lucky for us, it doesn't seem to much matter who is sitting in the oval office.

Our family would have *loved* to have a password for 60 days. We had to change our passwords every 30 seconds and every password had to be 80 characters long and contain Unicode characters that hadn't yet been assigned!

But that's the point of the original comment in this thread, isn't it. What makes 1-2-3-4-5 insecure is the fact that the companies storing the hashes can't be trusted to keep them safe but the user gets blamed for having an insecure password.

"The Americas" includes Mexico.
