No RIAA collusion is evident. Sounds like a lot of BS being spewed because a driver has crappy setup parameters which can be fixed. The integrated audio chipset is used industry wide, which is why you see the issue on so many platforms. It's poor design, not conspiracy

New Particle Found, the Bottom-Most Bottomonium 119

Posted by kdawson on Friday July 11, 2008 @12:22PM from the how-low-can-you-go dept.

PhysicsDavid writes "Collaborators on the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center have detected and measured, for the first time after a 30-year search, the lowest energy particle of the 'bottomonium' family, called the eta-sub-b. Bottomonium consists of a bottom quark and an anti-bottom quark bound together by the strong force. The discovery fills in a missing piece of quark physics that will help reveal the nature and behavior of the quarks and the strong force."
