  1. I'm sorry, but wouldn't one plainly ask a psychiatrist as Autism is hardly a psychologist's department. The disorder is obviously not an environmentally or socially induced illness. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
  2. I could not find anything on Lightning Car Company's site that actually suggests there is or ever will be any intention of charging up through the use of lightning. Although, the car itself is still pretty sweet despite this fact!
  3. You might want to Google 'Recording Sound Engineering Forum' as there are undoubtedly much better places to become informed!
  4. I meant Audacity . . . . . it's Pro Tools, I was just spelling it Protools. Protools MP is $299 and M-Audio bundles its MIDI Interfaces with an SE Edition . . ..
  5. Oh wait feature list: - it's free Guess my feature list was a little late, or right on time :/
  6. Audacity as an alternative to Protools?
  7. Protools and Reason are often considered the industry standard. For this reason my teacher for Audio Production, who did work on the Speed Racer movie, chose to use these packages. I felt, as someone who enjoys music and has interest in such things, that the workflow was intuitive and that I could accomplish all that was necessary. I completed a number of projects with these tools and including, the complete re-composition of five minutes of The Fifth Element movie, as well as a narration with sound effects over an animation of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. There were a number of other projects I completed as well but these were the more time consuming and technical of the bunch. My Audio Technician for my effects and score also did all of the work using Protools. He used the same software as me, only using much higher quality computers and equipment. He was in an audio program, and I was in game design. The quality of the end product, my game, benefited much from its audio components.
  8. Avids Protools + Propellerheads Reason == win \o/ (apx. $1k)
  9. I am of the opinion that most Nations will do just that, evolve and rejuvenate. There will be a push forward in most countries, towards new industries involving technology and medicine. We are at a point where we can finally devote the manpower needed to solve some of the more pressing issues that concern humanity. Here in Canada, where the majority of the country still remains undeveloped, we are seeing the closing of industries related to development and production. These industries are being replaced and a push is being made towards industries that are centered around the evolving of the species. I think that the Americans will be the weighting factor that decides the outcome of the whole. Swansont's blog about the American view of science is reality pressing its nose into the worlds affairs. Many Americans are driven by their faith in their religion, and most of whom are, see it fit to ignore any scientific truths. When things get tough, the pit-bull that we call America is going to show its teeth, and true colours. How the Americans deal with their situation will decide how the pieces fit back together posthumously. But this is already agreed upon right? Young people here in Canada talk a lot. There are a good many young people who have immigrated from other countries that reside in Canada. Many of the young Indian men are talking about how China is going to rise and they believe there will be a new alliance between the two countries that will form a super power. Much of this stems from issues with race, and they are often concerned with there being an opportunity for individuals of darker skin colour in taking their place amongst the worlds most influential leaders. I hear much of the same coming from the Chinese gentlemen that I meet. Again, very much a concern about the need for racial glorification, even despite ongoing alliances. I am hoping for, as well as expecting the best, but I am still quite concerned for the future. A push away from science would mean a reversion to a much earlier mentality. If this were to happen, I would quickly be executed, and this makes me rather sadfaced.
  10. I'm not sure how to feel about pudding made with butter based roux. It has left me analyzing my food for taste, and the butter is a pretty strong flavour. Maybe next time I'll try suet, they say that it does not introduce any flavour into the pudding.

  11. Hey daddyPop's, looks like you've been making friends, and forming some periodinane compounds.

  12. Windows 7; I have been using SL6 but will probably set up RHEL 6.0 so I can work with Rosetta Commons, as well as a few other packages.

  13. You are being specific about the wrong thing. The application is inconsequential, the type of interface used is what will define the extent of damages or the degree of risk to an operator. If a computer starts spraying the operator with acid because the remote is being sprayed with acid, then there is a degree of risk and damage can be incurred. If the operator has an electro-mechanical device implanted into the brain, and where such feedback could produce undesirable effects, then there is an issue. It depends on how you are defining the parameters. Just to be clear the acid is real acid and is being physically sprayed onto the operator's body. Is this like, if I die in my dreams, then I will not wake up?
  14. To visualize the propagation of a light burst onto the projected screen? The time evolution of such an event might prove interesting .. . . I'm interested in what a more developed device like this could do for the petri dish.
  15. For some reason it is a co-requisite for Chem I. The professor said he would waive it for me because in the end it will not count as credits towards my major and I really don't need it. I took it to meet boys . . . .
  16. Sure, you could remote the controls of heavy equipment, and with rumble pack as well.
  17. Another example would be flight simulators that function within a gyroscopic device. These can be used to navigate a live counterpart, and the operator has some benefit of sensation due to the movement of the rig. Another example comes from a recent Canadian \o/ development. Some McMaster researchers have recently developed a unique device that allows for the remoting of surgical procedures. The device does produce sensational feedback to the surgeon, and is also is non-invasive. I think most of the research being done with invasive techniques, involve the establishment/re-establishment of human to world interaction/sensation through BCI of disabled individuals who otherwise would have a significantly lowered standard of life.
  18. When making referencing statements, a link for others to quickly access the same information can only benefit you, given that you are looking for the opinions of others. At technologies current present state, generally speaking no. But technically speaking Dualshock® does sort of do this and of course people are always working on new and innovative ways of doing things. The OP seemed concerned with invasive techniques that would establish this functionality. Of course there is significant research currently into such technologies. I have none to share off of the top of my head. Maybe I was a former subject of such an experiment?? Just funnin' ya is all . .. . I'm sure if you look hard enough you will find your answers, as you have already demonstrated!
  19. I'm old and I have studied so much for so many years now. I know most of everything I will be taught in the first couple of years. I'm also used to working upwards of eighty hours a week, so I should be ok. My education will more probably be a nice long vacation; thanks for the heads up though!

  20. Hi! Look up ZnO TFT Deposition . . . .
  21. I hear that Dualshock® can potential increase realism to such a level, so as to induce excitement in teenagers so great, that there is a marked increase in the risk of aggressive interludes during gameplay. This may simply however, be rumor.
  22. 0 =>> serious & irreversible EEG measures brain activity and is completely non-invasive.
  23. This is fine if the sole purpose for MIT's experiment is to visually inspect the process. I would assume though that precise detail is the goal and that dropping frames would be like deleting important data. I wouldn't be surprised if the resolution was on the order of 16 megapixels with a bit depth of 32 making each frame on the order of 64MB/frame, increasing my earlier projection to 640GB@10ns clip. This would still be reasonable, although transfer rates become tight and buffering is a less than trivial issue. OCZ's max IOPS ssd cards only transfer at 1GB/s and I'm sure that techniques similar to what I was thinking in a previous post about high speed oscilloscopes would become important.
  24. I'm kind of curious how 1terafps * 1KB = 30PB??? Forgive me if it is something obvious . . . . 30PB is a lot and is costly as can be seen here, but when the date of the post and Schrödinger's hat's comments on the length of sequences are factored in, it really isn't unimaginable. Even at 10 nano-seconds (the bottle was ~ 1ns), with 1MB frames, a clip would simply be what 10GB . . . . . which really ain't much of nothing.
  25. I think the language chosen will have too great an impact on how this question should be answered, that you would first have to choose a language before anyone could give a better response than what doG has given.
