I don't see terrorism as a problem to be solved. If there's anything I'd want fellow countrymen and allies to understand, it's the nature of the coming 4th generation warfare and that terrorism contains aspects of it. 4GW is here, and the parties that are unable to adapt will not be able to...

Yeah, they are all on the audio board. Here's the schematic that I downloaded off the internet. If you crop away the white on the .jpg image's tops and bottoms, when printed out each on 1 piece of paper the text will be large enough to read. http://www.pcez.com/~adriel/Right.jpg...

The CE775 has three DACs and three op amps. Modding all channels triples the cost.... I recommend you just mod the two channel DAC and op amp, and use it as a very fine two channel player. It's no secret how the mods are done. Some folks have gone commercial modding this unit, they install a...

Is it the CE775? If so, I can give you a schematic and list the capacitor numbers and diode numbers to replace, and link you to where I purchased my parts. The parts cost is $19.29 total after shipping. ($10.40 capacitors (4 quantity) + $3.04 diodes (4 quantity) + $5.85 shipping=$19.29). If you...

After performing a few key internal component modifications to a mass market grade SACD player, I have arrived at a powerful notion: that "digital" sound, in a negative sense, is not due to limitations in the redbook format but moreso due to poor internal components used inside most cd players...

To the contrary in this regard, I suspect that tribes have chosen a more efficient, and indeed more intelligent method of symbolism: masks.

Cat Man is by far the ugliest I've seen. While some have been more cat, and some have been more man, none have actually followed through by taking to the wild for good. Their intentions are shown false by a lack of direct commitment.

I prefer BeOS for reading NTFS drives when I can't get into the Windows operating system. I recently used it to back NTFS files to a FAT32 disk, when Win2k couldn't start due to system file corruption caused by untimely rebooting of the computer while certain programs were running. Surprisingly...

Take a loss on the hardware, but make your money on the soft side by programming and selling the games that these geeks will play.

There is always news in parts or sub-parts of the computer industry. They may be outside the consumer market, but they exist nonetheless. -COTS -embedded -instrumentation -rugged -commercial: industrial & medical -defense example --real-time OS --switched fabric standards --public kiosk &...

If Mercenaries Incorporated wishes to obtain any business whatsoever, the http://www.minclan.com/ website needs a redesign. It needs to have a professional look without any graphical reference whatsoever with regards to war, guns, soldiers, death, or low intensity conflict. Basically nothing...

For every dishonest one, there's an honest one. This audio link is funny, a spoof really, "Can millions of Japanese be wrong?" http://www.mothraresearch.com/

You're right James. I thought your comparison was interesting, and so made another one in the same vein.

You sure can argue with Nyquist. Any sampler knows that a 16kHz sampling rate isn't sufficient to fully capture the lowest notes on a piano. That is because there are many overtones on low piano keys which are audible, and a 16kHz sample isn't enough to capture the higher overtones, causing the...

I've heard this before. Typically it is said that DOF is determined by the aperture, focal length, and distance to object, but not by the medium whether digital sensor or film. However, this ignores the magnification differences required to achieve a given print size, due precisely to the...

But they do have to do with film versus video. Even an amateur with a DV camcorder would know not to shoot with some of the defaults. He would shorten the depth of field (manual focus, neutral density filter, etc.) so that everything is not in focus at once; video has more depth of field than...

That explains it then. AVSforum...sheesh it's worse than Audioreview. I didn't mean that I wasn't aware of the bad forums, just that I spend most of my internet time at the better mannered audio forums. Time, I appreciate your clarity on the issues. That would be an even more twisted use of...

Vinyl: As long as there is turntablism, there will be turntables and fresh vinyl. There are factors you aren't taking into consideration. One would be entirely reasonable to prefer the vinyl recording of a song over the SACD version if the vinyl version was mastered better. There are bad...

Tubes such as the EF86, 300B, 845, etc are some of the lowest distortion electronic amplifying devices ever made. I know the audio part is true; open reel analog tape masters are the highest fidelity recordings we have. It is due to these tape masters that hi-rez digital formats are even...

My diagnosis is, the time you spent with your pornographic materials has warped your psyche and left you a recluse, unable to cope with the real world.

This is a cool game. Except the servers for Infantry MOUT certification are down right now, so I can't progress further in single player training.

I bet if an opponent gets shot in this game, he would either immediately disappear or turn into a big red X or something like that. That is, if there is any shooting at opponents allowed in the game.

None of those. GF4 Ti 4400 128MB.

It was more of an interesting movie rather than an entertaining movie. The Bourne Identity was entertaining, Juwanna Mann was funny, but Minority Report was just interesting.

Dune - History (vinyl) It's just the kind of music that would keep me alive and so that I wouldn't take my desperate situation so seriously. In contrast, I'd definitely not bring something like Miles Davis - Kind of Blue though, that would just drag the days out and make them seem ten times longer.

I don't know anything about that rhythm and blues stuff, but if it is recorded well I can stand it. I usually close my eyes and concentrate when I listen to music so that I become part of it. Currently, I've got these rotating in and out: Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow Blümchen Built to Spill -...

I'm not sure if that is a legitimate news report. I find it hard to believe, until any corroborating stories are released by legitimate sources.

So they're both from Baltimore. That explains it then. It's pretty damning evidence. But I'm not convinced that EBB knows he is Trinton Azaleth. If EBB doesn't know he is Trinton, he can't reveal it to us. No matter, we know now.

In any case, from what you've releaved through The Giver, we know that you are a French African-American with a Haitian background. Unless The Giver has lied about that.

Didn't The Giver express Communist views though, or something like that?

The "defending America"/"attacking America" frame of mind is too limited to describe the more complex opinions expressed on the old SR forum. I thought The Giver was an alienated teenager geek. So I tried to be nice to him.

If you end up with one of those Sennheisers, AKGs, Grados, or Beyerdynamics, consider a portable headphone amplifier that you can use with your soundcard and portable and even receiver. Such as one of the HeadRoom Airhead amplifiers.

CougTek, I may be a weird person, but taking care of a poor little spider isn't what makes me weird. I think this one is a little more "springtimish", and not as evil looking as the last: http://www.pcez.com/~adriel/spidey02.jpg

Buck, what kind of headphone sound characteristics are you after? What kind of headphone style do you want? What are you going to use to power the headphones? How much are you going to spend? What were some of your favorite headphones that you've heard?

If back when the original 3 Star War movies were made they had the technology available today, I bet the originals wouldn't be all that good. They would turn out like Ep 1 and 2 did.

Here's my springtime contribution: http://www.pcez.com/~adriel/spidey.jpg The spider sucked the muskeeter for about two days and left it an empty shell, then snapped its head off. I've been feeding the spider bugs from outside--I found it sneaking around in my room, and because it is missing a...

I'm looking for some good bottled root beer that is available in the US. I've tried the weinhard root beer, but it doesn't taste like root beer and the foam filled my stomach up. On the other hand, I was able to get some Bundaberg root beer in Seattle and while it is good stuff, I'm having...

It sounds to me like someone in your household is playing a trick on you. Such as picking up the telephone, or if that doesn't work, simply cutting off your telephone connection for a moment through some other method. Once you find out who that sneaky person is and disrupt or put an end to their...

Tannin, we're jacking your thread so that we can talk about computer audio instead rather than whatever your original question was... Okay okay, if you have one of those plastic computer microphones they will work with a soundcard since they are designed for them. But if you want to use a...

The implementation of the coax or optical is what counts, not whether one or the other is inherently superior. Jitter can be measured--this is the realm of objective science and engineering, not audio esoterica. Sometimes the optical output provides lower jitter than the coax, and sometimes the...

Yes, I still remember. Back when I played CS on the SR server I used the Soundworks Digital 2.1. And I still remember how you came around the corner in Italy and shot me in the head with a Desert Eagle handgun. And I asked after that, "How did you manage?"

Handruin, I used to have those speakers. Soundworks Digital 2.1. The digital input on mine stopped working though. Nope.

Stereodude has a multichannel home theater type of sound setup for his computer last time I read. I'm strictly stereo. We have different preferences, but that is no reason to get "pissy" about things.

Please, your Mission 733 floorstander and Sennheiser HD25SP hardly provides any reason to be snobbish about it. I've got midfi equipment too you know. Anyway, I'm interested in this kind of stuff. What other stuff to you have? "Better" is too broad a term to use categorically when it comes to...

Consumer soundcards such as the ones you've mentioned cannot amp a microphone enough. You need a microphone preamplifier. You can then run the output from the mic preamp to the line-in of the soundcard. The Creative cards up to and including the Live aren't very quiet. They have a rather loud...

I'm guessing he is working for the news now, flying helicopters to spot traffic accidents? If he works for the news, I can't blame him for his enthusiasm in wanting to report the news.

How are things now over there?

On a 1.3 cpu. But after a certain point when using a GF3 the frame rate will not really increase with a faster cpu, while with a GF4 there would still be some gains to be had beyond this point with a faster cpu. Really? I thought they used normal consumer grade quality materials.
