The Neuron generates its sounds using a form of resynthesis named 'Multi Component Particle Transform Synthesis' by designer Stephan Sprenger. However, resynthesis has already been with us for a long time.Many people have suggested that the PPG Realiser (born

That's why its adherents murder their daughter's boyfriend.That's why thousands of young Muslim men in France have been conducting a street war against the entire nation, sparked by the deaths of two of their number through no fault of the government—and stone the firefighters trying to save them.That's why they set old ladies on fire.

Just had my first sushi with Jamil, Aaashley, and Steve, and it was amazing.Jamil goes to the place we went a lot, so the chefs know him—and know he leaves generous tips—so they made up something called a samurai roll for us on the house, and it was delicious. Crab, pickle, crunchies, a creamy sauce that makes soy sauce unnecessary, and no seaweed. Pure yum.Also ate tuna roll, so I got my

Just got done with my first drafting project for Theatre Graphics, which is due tomorrow at 0930. It was arduous, to say the least, and I'm ashamed of my inability to mold my handwriting into something regular and precise. It's so close to being a really nice, stylized USITT alphabet, but it's irregular, not just in size, but from instance to instance of each letter. *sigh*You'd think a

Memory was spency in 1994!Anyway, Gary Trudeau (Doonesbury's creator) got one nad lampooned it viciously in several strips. Later it was incorporated as an easter egg in the NewtonOS.It makes Newtonians like me giggle.

Laugh if you want, PC weenies, but there is still something missing every time a new Macintosh boots, something that makes we of the old guard sigh inwardly. Sigh inwardly, and swell with pride that we have used Macintosh long enough to have known Happy Mac—and

It's the little things that endear me most to the Newton. Things like a rubberized chassis that dares you to lose your grip. Things like the way the stylus latches into its silo and releases with a push-click-pop. Things like the best PC card ejectors I have ever seen. They are incredible, something it's possible nobody has ever said about PC card ejectors before. They stay retracted until you

Found this while Googling for information on Minicom—and I don't mean the one between Miniluv and Minipax. I think it's an interesting observation; why are we so culturally eager to vilify ourselves, while out of the other side of our mouths praising our freedom, prosperity, and enlightenment?if you fail to see a problem, which i find hard to believe

I haven't stumbled on any new revelations in a while, and using an old one seems lame, like I'm offering you a delicious treat that I've allowed to get stale.Mostly my mind has been taken up with musing on that one
