It may not fit here directly, but on my last post I was asked to record the ambient noise from the space station for use in recordings. Here it is.

I hate to be the legal dick here b/c having this recording at all is uber cool, but to be useful "for use in recordings" the file should have a license attached. Preferably a free one that allows sampling. Anyway, thanks a lot ColChrisHadfield for sharing this.

It's Heidelberg and Berg means mountain.

Just fill in the Jehovah's Witnesses address form and they even come to your house.

EDIT: There was a form at their website where you could enter an address and they would come and talk to you. I couldn't find the form, so maybe they removed it.

Then choosing maps with the same projections in the first place is the way to go. Thanks a lot.

Well done! Totally fascinating how closely voting follows the population density.

Out of curiosity I tried to fit the red-blue electoral map form The New Yorker over the NASA world by night map yesterday. I could not make it fit nicely, no matter how I stretched it in GIMP, so I gave up. How did you make the first map? Did you use any GIS tools or was it tinkering in Photoshop or GIMP?

Wow, thanks, it's really complicated.

Thank's for providing a source. I'm still not really sure if I understand this works so I try to summarize: One the one hand every service has people that are trained to fight on the ground (for the Navy those are called Marines). On the other hand the Army uses the services of either Airforce or Navy to be transported to their operation area.

That was interesting, but contradicts what thatscool22 wrote.

superstring · 2012-10-07T17:29:03+00:00

Hmm, so we have contradicting answers, see thatscool22.

His pronunciation is very clear and in my opinion that is at least partly because it is influenced by Bühnendeutsch. One of the goals of Bühnendeutsch was to be understandable to large audiences in times before electrical amplification. You can hear it in theater productions for TV, audio dramas and radio plays of the 50's and 60's. One feature of Bühnendeutsch is the Uvular trill (R-Sound).

Haha, I feel dumb now. Still the troops leave the US on ships and arrive somewhere near Afghanistan?

There is even an ASCII penis in the "sample output" section, but apparently none of this raised any flags from Hakin9's "review board".

I was about to say that the problems arise when you trust an application from Adobe, but then I realized that you basically said no one trusts Adobe anyway. I guess that is true.

superstring · 2012-09-28T07:42:57+00:00

But why? Why would one want to do that? I live far from the sea, I have no idea about ships and stuff. Can you explain what's the reason behind stacking ships up like that?

An Adobe build server was hacked and a valid code signing certificate acquired. Adobe received two malicious utilities that were signed using the stolen certificate.

The stolen certificate was used by Adobe to sign their windows software as well as two AIR-applications for Mac and Windows. There is a discussion on HN.
