This reminds me of one of the demos that used to come with Sound cards back when I was in high school. You could make anything sound like it was inside of a concert hall, a bathroom, or a street... You could even "position" yourse

Regardless about how you feel about the hack, outsourcing the vast majority of our technology to another country just doesn't seem like the smartest idea. Why would we put our most trusted technology into someone else's hands—just
