![]() We’ve often stated that Microsoft isn’t the sole threat. dropping the term “Open Source”, talking about Free-as-in-freedom software instead). Not all hope is lost however we need to point those things out and people who still care about software freedom will respond accordingly (e.g. Giant Pentagon-connected (sometimes Pentagon-funded) companies like IBM, Google and Microsoft want to tell us what operating system we can and cannot install on ‘our’ computers, what software we're allowed to install on the operating system, and then deny us access to the World Wide Web unless we run some arbitrary JavaScript code, executed and run by some proprietary Web browser with DRM inside/under its belly. THE growth of Free software is curtailed by monopolisation and centralisation efforts. Summary: A word of caution (and optimism) about the long path towards people controlling computers instead of computers controlling people Posted in GNU/Linux, IBM, Microsoft, Patents at 8:03 pm by Dr. The Battle for Software/Digital Freedom Rages on Leave Your Comment Send this to a friend It’s good that we’ve managed to diversify a bit and put the eggs in more baskets. The Web is rapidly becoming a highly censorious turf that protects its real owners (the monopolists) from accountability this means - inter alia - banning exposers and critics. I’m currently in touch with a high-profile journalist who investigates this for an upcoming report. Twitter is, in effect, protecting a convicted criminal from his critics. Owing to the curfew-like lock-downs over here we’ve also found time to set up a Gemini capsule with all our pages (and some mirrors soon followed).Īs many readers must be aware, Twitter took away my account after 12 years with no reasons specified, though it now seems clear, based on press reports, that Gates criticism has a lot to do with it. “The Web is rapidly becoming a highly censorious turf that protects its real owners (the monopolists) from accountability this means - inter alia - banning exposers and critics.”On a daily basis we’ve dealt with DDOS attacks, the trolling in our IRC channels became more intense, and we’ve somehow managed to stay focused and publish more or less as usual.

![]() In a sea of digital music players that offer straight plug and play functionality, this program stuck out like a sore thumb. Sony's proprietary music software has always been sluggish, unwieldy and quite frankly totally unnecessary. For years now we have reviewed Sony MP3 players players that provide good functionality, great audio and come in stylish designs, but they have always suffered from one fatal flaw SonicStage. I actually have them in my own collection, so I know them really well.It has finally arrived. Sony sent us the player along with their own closed MDR-Z1R, and the WM1ZM2 brings out the bass in the headphones really well, while opening up the sound more at the top than I’m used to with these earbuds. Their engineers know their stuff, so expectations are extra high when they come up with something in this price range.Īnd the sound is really good. When Sony makes a new top model, you naturally pay attention. (Photo: Geir Gråbein Nordby) A disappointment The Sony NW-WM1ZM2 has both balanced and unbalanced output. Although I do have some favorites that I load into and listen to a lot. So easy, in fact, that that’s primarily what I do. On the other hand, it’s easy to use Tidal and other music services that deliver music in CD quality or higher. It’s intuitive and simple, but it’s still a miss that you can’t just pop the microSD memory card into the computer, drag the music straight onto the card and then feed the card into the player. Mac users must use Content Transfer instead. Sony has included its own music player as standard, which opens all downloaded music files. You can install apps on it and it does everything an Android phone can do, except make phone calls and take photos. With its touch screen and Android interface, the Sony NW-WM1ZM2 is as easy to use as an Android phone. ![]() According to Sony, this makes for a more stable construction with higher rigidity. The cabinet itself is made of gold-plated OFC copper with a purity of 99.99 percent. Otherwise, there are two headphone outputs: A 3.5 mm unbalanced and a 4.4 mm balanced.īut it’s not just inside that Sony has used expensive and thoughtful materials. The connection between the amp section and the headphone outputs is made with thick Kimber Kable. And Sony says select capacitors and lead-free solder are used. The amplifier part is Sony’s own fully digital S-Master HX Digital Amp technology. The digital as well as the analogue audio signal has been carefully taken care of to achieve the absolute best sound. Every circuit is carefully designed and made with top quality components, and you’ll find no coincidences inside. The NW-WM1ZM2 has been given a top-class interior. (Photo: Sony) Perfection at your fingertips If I say that this portable music player costs the same as the most expensive iPhone, many will shake their heads in disbelief. (Photo: Sony) Twice as expensive as you’d think The Sony NW-WM1ZM2 is twice as expensive as the most expensive iPhone. The name seems more cryptic than it really is the ‘M2’ at the end means that this is the second generation of this particular player. Such as the top model we’re looking at here, the NW-WM1ZM2. They are of course more compact and portable than the analogue players of yesteryear, and the best of them are also many times more expensive. It has just changed format to digital music players (DAPs). Today, such cassette players are long dead and buried (though nostalgics can buy them on eBay for a few hundred dollars), but the Walkman name lives on. (Photo: Creative Commons) The Walkman name lives on ![]() Many people think of the WM-SXF33 cassette player when they hear the name Walkman. They were all popularly called a wallman, even though Sony made the original and copyrighted the word Walkman (with a capital W). In the 1980s and early 90s, portable music players were synonymous with analogue cassette players clipped to your belt. ![]() ![]() Let’s start with the basics: core Australian slang vocabulary. ![]() Ta, bogan, brekkie and more popular Australian slang terms you heard before Aussie slang is only for good friends and informal gatherings. you should avoid using the Australian slang in business or formal contexts because it could do more harm than good.It sure sounds funny, but you know perfectly well that this is not entirely excluded while in Australia if you want to sound like a true Aussie, you should speak through clenched teeth to stop blowflies from getting into your mouth.Australian slang is often characterized by making words as short as possible, but also as cute and as funny as possible!.the term for Aussie slang and pronunciation is “strine”.Now, whether you want to move to the Australian paradise, spend a holiday there to visit the Irwin family’s Australia Zoo, or just learn the Australian slang because you feel like spicing up your English vocabulary, there are a few things you need to remember: Yeah, these people do have a slang term for everything. Wouldn’t you agree? How can you have just a plain, dull barbecue when you could have a “barbie”? The Aussie slang is the best slang.Īs you probably know, “Aussie” is slang for “Australian”. Sure, there’s always British English, but the Brits don’t call their barbecue “barbie”. And when it comes to English, many people agree that Australian slang is the richest, liveliest and funniest slang you could learn. You don’t really know a language until you’ve learned its slang. Here are the different types of battle modes available:Īction Race Battle Characters: Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Metal Sonic Beat your opponent to the Goal Ring. Some of them utilize your character's special abilities (i.e., a shooting game with Tails), others are more open ended. You can do so in several different modes. The point of Battle Mode is, of course, to beat your opponent. There are extra characters available in Battle Mode: Metal Sonic, Chao Walker, Dark Chao Walker, Tikal, Chaos Zero and Amy Rose. The difference between this game and the adventure that came out on the Dreamcast is the 2P Battle Mode, which allows players to compete against each other in mini-games. Swim: B button dives, A goes to surface, swim under water to search for items, be careful, you only have a limited oxygen supply and must come up for air. Climb Wall: While gliding, glide into a wall, you should stick to it, allowing you to move around on it with the Analog. Glide: Hold A button while airborne, this allows you to glide through the air for a slow landing or traveling far. Knuckles/Rouge Punch/Kick: B button, used to break wooden containers or kill an enemy. Lock-On Missle: Release B button after using the Lock-On, if many enemies are locked on, they will all be attacked. Lock-On: Hold B button, use the Analog to move around and lock onto an enemy. Eggman Volkan Cannon: B button, used to destroy wooden containers. Grinding Land on a rail to grind, jump with the A button, crouch with the B button, balance with the Analog. Homing Attack: A button while airborne, attack nearby enemies, can attack a series of enemies. Spin Dash Hold: B button then release, rolls at a high speed can kill enemies. Sonic/Shadow Somersault: B button, used to break wooden containers, or squeeze through narrow gaps. Each characters actions are similar to their counterpart (i.e. More actions can be recieved when you pick up a upgrade. The following actions are basic actions that you start out with. But pressing Y Button will change the action to pick up, which allows you to pick up the chao. For example, when in the Chao Garden near your chao, pressing the B Button may pet the chao. When there is more than one action that can be used, press the Y Button to change to another action. The action changes according to the situation. Actions The B and X Buttons are the Action buttons.

And then, one must also take into account the more complicated levels of melody and the sentiment. The beat is important, but recognizing the measures will help you become even better dancer. If you have problem to finish the dance on the finishing beat, this is most certainly a sign that you have to pay more attention to musicality. If you are a beginner, or even an advanced dancer who never thought about working on his/her musicality, this is the right time. That is because the music from the Golden Age was created together with the dance, they are the two sides of the same thing. And then I discovered that it is much easier to connect to the music from the Golden Age than to electro-tango or non-tango music. I understood that learning the steps was just the question of time and practice – what bothered me was how to connect that to the music. When I first started learning tango this was my biggest problem. I also need to mention that there is a slight difference between how the musicality in tango is perceived by men and women, having in mind that they are focused on different things during the dance. I tried to simplify the language and the explanations, so even beginners and people with no musical background can understand. Let’s now focus on the four levels in which tango dancers connect to the music. To be honest, I strongly believe it goes even beyond the music itself and touches the core of who the dancers are as human beings… but that’s another topic. Dancing is’t just mechanically performing step after step, sequence after sequence – it goes far beyond that. A dancer can’t be considered a good dancer if what s/he does is not in some way connected to the music. One of the most important aspects of every dance is the musicality.

Using an ad blocker also makes websites look nicer and cleaner, and makes articles easier to read, as there are no boxes squished in between paragraphs.Īs useful and obvious as using an ad blocker may seem, they do pose an ethical dilemma among content consumers and advertisers. ![]() This can help you save on your mobile data, as pages load faster.
