What kind of sound do fan blades make when they kiss?>> ^BoneRemake:

fuck the fans I use for white noise so I can sleep, I would rather listen to that then the osculations of the fan blades.

This is the man who predicted a complete currency melt down by the end of 2009 or first quarter of 2010...by the latest.

It's a shtick. He constantly predicts doom and on the rare occassions he comes "close enough" to getting it right it's held up as proof of his prescience. Don't bother to check out his long list of failures...he's obviously channeling Nostrodamus here. Which is pretty close to the truth because Celente routinely fills out his commentary with vague and meaningless rhetoric that people mostly overlook as they fill in the white noise with whatever they want to hear.

Celente provides a service that's very marketable right now. His product is predictions of doom. Anyone looking for commentary on the impending catastrophic failure of society can call him up and purchase his services. His product is neatly packaged in such a way that you can use it to support nearly any view you're trying to sell. As long as you're looking to perpetuate fear. Because that's what he's selling.

This man is saying nothing of interest. Anything intelligent sounding has been cribbed from actual intelligent people with true understanding of the issues he's blustering about. Providing Celente with a forum does nothing to elevate discussion. Better to look for commentary from the sources he uses to fabricate the nonsense he's selling to the media.

This is definitely going into my watch when tripping folder


One of my fondest hallucination memories: sitting under a tall tree in a park late at night, the only sound was that almost magical white noise rushing through leaves, and I was at the peak of an LSD trip, having just inhaled some nitrous oxide. I lay down and looked up, and the canopy of the tree was silhouetted against the sky. The entire view turned into a 3-dimensional animated fractal set for a good minute or so.

Words probably can't convey the amalgamation of sensory experience that made that moment so exhilarating, but a part of this video triggered that memory quite strongly for me. Makes me want to trip again (it's been a long time).

Sorry for the very delayed response, haven't been on the Sift in a long while.

Yes, I read it all. The footnotes, everything. Even decoded the letters. I devoured that book. I spent a sleepless two days enthralled.

you swear you read House of Leaves till the end? Including the "emails received appendix thing"? I loved the main part of the book, the notes, the layout... But I was more lost in that appendix than the guy inside the house cave...

Also, White noise, alas! that´s where my Noise comes from.
cheers

here's your non-paranormal explanation: video artifacting. that footage is so compressed you might as well be pulling patterns out of white noise. where's my $25K?

After the first noise, All I heard was white noise because I just didn't care about anything they were saying... Neither one of them was even listening to the other.

I'm sure when its Bush's time to talk, people will think its intermission. Not realizing that background 'garble' and 'white noise' is really Mr. Bush talking. Mr. Clinton, love him or hate him, people will listen to what he has to say. The difference is, Mr. Clinton is educated and intelligent, while Mr. Bush is not.

Now, the sell out will be when Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama (after 8 years in office), go on the talk circiut together.

So this has 1kb ram, 8kb ROM (programmable I guess) and its outputting high-res animated colour graphics and sophisticated (4 mins?) music - I would say three channels (maybe four?) including white noise , complicated envelopes (arp'd notes, pitch bend..) and fiddly solos.

Is this all in just 8kb????? How have you managed this??? Does the micro-controller offer a lot of pre-built counters and timers and blitter stuff ?
Are you using compression to fit all this in ???

This is absolutely amazing....

This cat is having one of those days. You know, when you're outside, the temperature and humidity are just right and there's that soft white noise in the background that could make you fall asleep?

They didnt need to prove that the radio still worked because the major thing about EMP is that it knocks out radio, and that has been proven already. Yes his radio would probably turned on but like my radio it would have been white noise. EMP radio black out lasts for about as long as it takes for the communications people to replace their radios. EMP is a proven working weapon system, because it happens with the splitting of atoms, so naturally a Nuclear Device will cause black out. The military has to prepare for this, although they cant just detonate a Nuke to prepare for EMP attack.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/intro/nuke/emp.htm This pretty much tells the truth, its not about stopping a car, its more about stopping communications, and radar tracking systems. What we need to be worried about is that the only weapons with enough power to cause a comm black out, or really do any damage to electrical systems is a Nuke, provided the electronics survives the Blast Wave, and the Operators survive the radiation. So, yea this weapon they show is not really practical, because look how big it is? It only effects 50 miles, when a nuke causes blast damage, EMP, and radiation.

"release the beast" is great, but the other original songs here aren't really very good at all. nowhere near as good as the daft punk songs, anyway. that's because dance music is mostly to do with repetition and dynamics, not originality. people who overrate originality don't usually like dance music much anyway...

for the ultimate in daft punk "sample" technique, find their "remix" of take me out by franz ferdinand. it's just the entire original song with a massive blast of white noise that builds up on top of it. it's a big, big improvement...
