"The
problem is that the cassette tape is by its very nature a piece of
disgusting technology that should have died before it was inflicted on
the general public. It would be difficult to design something of
lesser quality. Even 8 track was better. "

Can't completely agree with that after having a three head Technics with Dolby HX. You aso ight get a little flac(k) from Nakamichi engineers.

Eight tracks were double the speed but for some reason never seemed to hit double the quality. An analogy might be records. Technically a 45 is better than an LP. However the arm has ti be set right to track at those radii, rather than optimized for a 12" disk. Also, the cartridge needs enough comliance and response range to handle the higher groove modulation. Technically 78s should be the best of al, it's just that nobody developed the technology.

I don't know about cassettes but I do know that the whole process of digital compression sort of and choice off encoding and everything on CDs was chosen to meet two goals - on was to be able to fit more than an hour os aaudio so assuredly an LP would fit, and the disk size had to fit where a typical car radio goes so player could be built in. Imagine if CDs were like rwice the size. Not only would that ake car players alot less easy, alot pf people would have stuck with cassettes, especially since that technology did get advanced enough to get as good as FM at least.

As it stands now, the claim that these restaurants closed over the minimum-wage issue is false.

Not that simple. White oak is the common name of (a number of
species of) oak that has closed pores. Red oak is the common name
(again, a number of species) of oak that has open pores.
Both are hardwoods.

To reiterate what's been said already: "softwoods" are gymnosperms.
"hardwoods" are angiosperms. (And palm "trees" are angiosperms, but if
you can get a wood-like substance out of one, it's probably not going to
be called a "hardwood").

There is a structural difference between hard- and softwoods, but it has
to do with the way that hardwoods and softwoods move water around when
they're alive. A botanist can look at a slice of wood under a microscope
and have a pretty good idea of what order of tree it came from, but I
don't think there's any general rule for the mechanical properties of
softwood wood vs. hardwood wood.

I was at Philco-Ford next door when Widlar did that.

But the one I like best wasn't mentioned. Bob had a distaste for the
constant annoying paging from the loudspeakers in his lab... so he
took a plumbers helper, put a cherry bomb in it and held it against
the ceiling mounted speaker ;-)

LM3914

No, that's the dot/bar display driver, takes in analog voltage and
displays on a set of LEDs.

Which decode pattern is often referred to as a "thermometer code."

Yes.

Not a firm 'yes', more of a 'maybe'; the input to that chip is analog voltage,
and the outputs are regulated current sinks. It isn't a real logic-in/logic-out
encoder, more of an A/D converter with display driver.

Yeah that was another thing, they'd just signed a treaty with the
Egyptians and the ink wasn't dry before they launched their preemptive
attack. A "spy" ship in the area could be awkward at a time like
that.

 

You know, osmetimes I do not know what to say about all this shit. The leadership of Israel is the problem, and has been for some time now. Just let's not get into blaming all Jews for it, lest we be blamed for what the US (in my case) governemnt does. I say and know that Israel is about the only worse government than the US' that has any matter. Yemen where you can marry an eight year old and kill her consumating the marriage is an ally of these peole. All these wars are not for Women's rights, human rights or any of that shit, and never was.

And the US has done alot worse, but then was always "influenced". Every one of those senators who wrote to Iran to sabotage any peace efforts was bought and paid for by AIPAC. This is not a conspiracty theory, these otherfuckers have the goddamn gall to BRAG about it on their website to curry more donations from their "lesser breatren" in the states.

And they keep the stupid intrigue going on for the sheeple, and yes there is alot of influence on the US' election process. And there is ALOT more going on. The qualitative edge which pledges the best of the best US weapons so Israel has the best weapons in the region. Three BILLION in aid, surpassed only by two couintries, one of which we bombed from the stone age back to the homonid era. for fucking opiates. the Taliban had to go because they forbade the growing of poppies for drug use, and made no distiction for legal use. they use alot of opiates in this country legally, and what's more the military brings alot of the shit in illegally as well. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO COULD GET AWAY WITH IT.

Things are not what they seem and Farrakahn said "the big Jew gets rich and the little Jew dies". And he is right. Their lower classes are just as expendable as anyones' and the average Jew on the street is fooled, just like the flag waving "patriots" yelling "USA USA NUMBER ONE NUMBER ONE !".

And who think the Rothschilds are/were just humble textile merchants.

We got a long way to go. what has to happen is one of two things. Either the little Jew distances himself from the big Jew and the business of getting rid of the non-rally-Jewish ones commences, or we have laws, like in Russia now, liniting what a Jew can do in business. See Putin knows them very well, he used ot work for them. Soviet means Jew. Plenty of non-Jews in the Soviet regime, but the Jews were in key positions. It was their show, and it didn't fail, IT WAS BLED TO DEATH. And that is why Putin treats them as he does. And the weapons Russia buys from Israel, I bet are completely reverse engineered for like two fucking years, because he know who not to trust. Hell, they don''t trust him.

And remember the gulf war one ? Remember it was originally called "Desert Sword" and got changeed really quick ? It got changed to esertt Storm because of a Biblical reference. I was there then, I remember. this has slipped most people's minds now, but that is how it was. Now remember how nothing got off the ground from Iraq ?

Know why ? the French, whose governemnt is full of Jews, supplied Saddam's computers. there was a bug in the software. In the targeting, when you went to fire it crashed. That is why gulf war one went so well.

Well Iran one is not goiung to go so well. they got ten times the military, and they got most of the world on their side. That is why a bunch of countries are in on these talkss. It is their business as well. what's more, Iran would probably only use a nuke for self destruction. See, havking nukes means that if they come for your natural resources, you cna make it really hard to get them.

Just try drilling for oil in a glass parking lot with NOTHING but the sun beating down on you in a radiation proof suit. Gasoline would be fifty bucks a gallon.

Not good for business.

See, it is all abnout business. From south America installing brutal dictators to Yemen, well from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Everywhere there is a buck to be made, the US and you know who is there. now they're going into Mali to get gold for Germany. Ukraine didn't have enough..

These peole are gong to go down all on their own. We do not need a revolution. they will just walk away with their loot like they did in the USSR. And nobody can do a fuckling thing about it, except to try to not let it happen again. the founders of the USA really tried, came close but failed. The bankers now OWN this country, and are looking to use our wealth, that htrey stole, to get more. Whats more they want our blood for that purpose.

I will do everything in my power against these axis powers who think they own it all. This is not how life should be.

Oh, and BTW, the Arabs and Muslims, they are no saints either, but they don't steal.

 

Oh, and this last election result was not favorable. Mr. Hardliner is still in there and insisting. I really owuld have liked to see the Jewish people elect someone a bit more prone to peace.

ad perhaps they did. Their election system is not a one takes all. It's not like here. It is probably a buit better because the US has problems because of this eight years max shit. How can you have a direction to take that affcts generations after you when you have to think about every eight years ?

So no system is perfect. when is the next election in Israel ? And in fact, what was the popular vote ? Who voted for which party n shit ? I'm sure there are districts or something right ? Provinces ?

I might have to look that up just out of curiousity.

But really, any Israel firsters in here - do you think the Israeli people would rather a more moderate government ? They gotta be getting sick of this shit if nothing else.

Quite the reverse. The Israelis that I know say they just got sick of
getting f*****d over every time they made a peace initiative. They're
surrounded by people who hate them, and who have tried more than once in
living memory to push them into the ocean (1948, 1967). From 70 AD,
when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, obliterated the Temple, and
dispersed the Jews throughout the Empire, to the 1940s, their historical
orientation has been to "go along to get along", i.e. to seek
assimilation in the societies where they live, while maintaining their
distinctive traditions. That was never that easy--Ferdinand and
Isabella disposessed them and chucked them out of Spain, and similar
things happened in England, Russia, and elsewhere--but it was the Nazis
that really ended that game. The Jews are getting run out of Europe
again in our time--the Jewish population of all of Europe is down to 1.4
million, vs. 9.5 million in 1933 and 3.8 million in 1945. There are
more than that in metropolitan New York City (about 2 million.)

Countries who drop bombs on Americans tend to meet with a vigorous
response as well. (Japan, for instance.) Appeasing people who hate you
is not a growth strategy in the long run--see Chamberlain, comma,
Neville, former British Prime Minister. It's weakness that leads to
war, not strength. (*)

If it weren't for the fact that they're Jews, nobody would bat an eye at
Israel's defending itself. Who in the West really cared about the
Iran/Iraq war when it was going on? It was far more cruel and bloody
than anything Israel's ever been involved with, but it's Israel that has
the left's panties in a wad. The growing antisemitism of the Left is
one of their uglier characteristics.

Cheers

Phil Hobbs

(*) The apparent counterexample of WWI isn't one really, since it was
the inflexibility of the German and Russian mobilization plans that made
it impossible for the Germans to draw back from war once mobilization
had been ordered. The Kaiser and the Tsar both tried desperately to do
so, but couldn't.
