> The original point stands -- the higher resampling rates are increasingly pointless. But the mp3 tracks are not resampled. They use the same sampling rate of 44.1kHz, with a variable bit-depth. So, for instance, a 320kbps mp3 file st

I believe you're messing up the units here. - The sampling rate, measured in kHz, for CD tracks is 44.1 kHz (not kbps), which determines the frequency range. Nyquist-Shannon applies to this. - The bit-depth, number of bits/sample, determine

Nor did you get to drive it in the demo - it's the scripted composition that makes it interesting. It works brilliantly as a demo, but I suspect the novelty of driving the morphing squigglemobile in the demoverse would wear off pretty fa

The creativity is in no way restricted to the demoscene - just more conspicuous. Creating games involves a different set of constraints, and there are plenty of examples of ingenuity & creativity to be found there. In fact, many game pr

I wouldn't say acoustics is dead at MIT. I participated in some very interesting ocean acoustics research in the last few years which has been published in Science a couple of times. For anyone interested in reading about underwater ocean a

That's quite the hyperbole. When I was studying Electrical Engineering, I noticed that SVDs cropped up frequently. From memory, a quick list of situations where I can recall using SVDs : - For computing homographies in Computer Vision - For
