Q: How to configure wi-fi network on Ubuntu?

This is like question that follows Linksys wusb600n support on Debian-6. I tried Xubuntu, but that don't make big difference. At the start, I don't have any internet connection. Only way to have one for my machine is to use wi-fi. I went straight to to "Network Connections", then "Wireless". No...

ubuntu networking internet wifi

@StefanoPalazzo that sounds messy....

Stefano Palazzo

It's less complicated than I make it seem ;)

but the general rule is, if you want to make a sound you need to go up and down at least once, so, the highest frequency you can have in a 44.1kHz audio file is 22.05kHz

of course it's not a very smooth curve at this rate

that's why DVD-A and SACD have a sample rate of 192kHz at 24 bit sample size

in other words, throw out the computer and get a good vinyl player

Stefano Palazzo

exactly :)

ANALOGUE

Stefano Palazzo

1:14 PM

and save up lots and lots of money to buy albums

(gnaah)

well, why do I hear a better sound with .flac than with mp3

Stefano Palazzo

because MP3 is a lossy compression. it throws out information to save space

aac is tha tbetter?

helps to have good equipment though

Stefano Palazzo

aac and mp3 are very similar (both are lossy)

1:15 PM

I have a AKG k530 headphones

Stefano Palazzo

you can think of flac as something like "wave.bz2"

hey I've got AKGs as well

me too! \o/

Stefano Palazzo

nice :)

I love the sound they create

Stefano Palazzo

keeping the austrian economy going here ;)

1:18 PM

hehe

mine did only cost 56.60€

helps to have a DAC outside the computer too

26 euro for mine but I was in the VS at the time the dollar was (quote) pretty damn low (/quote)

@Rinzwind well this was during christmas

See askubuntu.com/questions/19212/…

wearing these right now

and they are ooooh sooo lovely <3

@StefanoPalazzo my ears start to hurt after 5 hours.. but before that it's just lovely...

Stefano Palazzo

I'm wearing these for about 10 hours a day

and I forget that I'm wearing them after 30 minutes

bbl >:-D

I cant find my model at akg.com :(

Stefano Palazzo

I know them though - I tried them out when I was shopping for headphones

1:26 PM

@StefanoPalazzo well they look ok, but they feel very nice. and for 56€ they were perfect.

Stefano Palazzo

yeah

it's amazing what you can get for such a reasonable price

When I need better I will ahve to pay liek 150€ or so..

Stefano Palazzo

akg <3

I don't think you would like the ones I have very much

dustinhome.se/pd_5010131443.aspx

@StefanoPalazzo why?

Stefano Palazzo

they have a massively high impedance, so you need to buy an amplifier as well...

in other words: they're very quiet

1:28 PM

?

Stefano Palazzo

they're excellent for chamber music and that sort of thing

but for electronic music, yours are much better

@StefanoPalazzo so some film music, with a big orchestra and all that?

Stefano Palazzo

chamber music is the one with a small orchestra (three to six people)

@StefanoPalazzo the base is a bit weak if you like a heavy base

but as a home using headphone they are great

@StefanoPalazzo ok...

Stefano Palazzo

I always buy cheap in-ear ones for when I'm on the go

they break every few months, so I don't spend much money on them

1:31 PM

@StefanoPalazzo I'm about to buy a ipod shuffle

Stefano Palazzo

user image

bought these on monday, for 15 euros

@StefanoPalazzo I bought a klipch in ear they cost me 100€ and were awesome for 3 months then they broke down

I got a new pair on the waranty and they broke down after 3 months aswell...

Stefano Palazzo

yeah they are very fragile :-(

now I will ińly use cheap stuff..

@StefanoPalazzo but the sound was truly awesome

Stefano Palazzo

I'm looking for a complex text to send, can't find one...

to ensure the authenticity of the complexes of the problem so you must understand the interests behind the idea for the project.

för att se den äkta komplexigheten av problemet så måste du förstå intresset bakom tanken till projektet.

Stefano Palazzo
