![]() ![]() Well, at one point the music flipped over to the laptop speakers and one of the guys in the back yells "hey, that sounds better." The whole room busted up laughing. ![]() We moved them in, out, angled, we tried everything. He had tried for weeks, and these $70k tin cans sounded like crap (company is now out of business I think). One time a group of us were trying to help a friend setup his new speakers. We of course check everything 100 times, only to realize the version of Amara is not compatible with the OS upgrade on his Mac he just did. I can't tell you the number of times I'm with a friend or client and he can't figure out why the music comes out of the laptop speakers instead of the DAC. Even the other PC/Mac software alternatives are a PITA. ![]() JRiver has become bloatware because they try to implement every Tom, Dick and Harry's request for features. Lumin, Aurender, even the new Auralic stack which was quite impressive at Munich, are all far better sounding and enjoyable to use alternatives. The last thing I want to do is come home and "play computer" instead of playing music.Īnd someone pimping out a PC and calling it a fancy name is just an expensive headache instead of just a headache. My background is IT, software implementation, data migration, etc. Like I've said, I get a headache reading CAF. I could not go back to all that fiddling around just to get my music playing. I am sorry but it all seemed a nightmare. I felt so relieved to know that it was only temporary and that I would be going back to my music player which would wake up and play just by turning on my ipad. What it reminded me though was all the hackling and effort to make it play through the V90 DAC which for no apparent reason would not play. The V90 was quite good for $300, but of course it was missing the transparent strings, 3D imaging, and that analogue sound of the D1. Yesterday I decided to compare my old computer setup with my D1. It took me a while to configure my NAS, but that was it. I was also getting tired of strange things happening: It would not play because I had two Media Players running at the same time, pops and clicks, my DAC did not always be the selected converter, cover art disappearing, Worrying about which is better WASAPI etc, which volume mode is better, etc etc, installing Fidelizer and whether to use "audiophile or purist" mode, my MF V90 DAC sometimes not connecting for no reason, to buffer or not to buffer, play from memory or not, Which connection is better- USB optical or coaxial, which USB cable to buy ETC, ETC. When I decided to buy my D1 one of the reasons was so that I didn't have to log my laptop around.

![]() ![]() By contrast, the transliteration is used when a word is transfered from one writing system to another writing system. It follows that the difference between transcription and transliteration is that the transcription reflects the phonetic articulation of words, thus like the words are pronouced. The Text Converter supports some transliterations according to ISO standards, for example Cyrillic-Latin (ISO 9), Arabic-Latin(ISO 233), Hebrew-Latin(ISO 259), Greek-Latin(ISO 843), Japanese-Latin(ISO 3602), Georgic-Latin(ISO 9984) and Thai-Latin (ISO 11940). Although in the transliteration, the pronunciation is not as important as in the transcription, it is often possible to recognize the pronunciation by the used character. If the source language consists of more characters than the target language, combinations of characters (for example KA for Hiragana か) and diacritica (for example Š for Cyrillic Щ) can be used. In contrast, in the transliteration, each character of the source language is assigned to a different unique character of the target language, so that an exact inversion is possible. The Text Converter supports, for example, Cyrillic transcription rules for English and German. ![]() A disadvantage is, that a transcription often can not be inverted clearly. An advantage of the transcription is, that everybody speaking the target language can also read the converted words of the source language correctly. German or English), for one and the same source language can be used.

The summary is devided into the following sections. Furthermore, it is also possible to create any customized conversion with own rules or edit the pre-defined ones, to convert texts. The Text Converter supports many transcriptions and transliterations on its own, which can be assigned with only one click. As software, the Text Converter is used, with which you can apply conversions at many files at the same time. ![]() The following summary shows step by step, how to arrange such a conversion rapidly and easily, it defines the difference between transliterations and transcriptions and explains all important things apart from that. Transcriptions are used, for instance, to make a writing system, illegible for one reader, readable by using other characters or to translate proper names in another writing system. ![]() Of course, also the reverse way is possible, namely the conversion of a Latin text to another writing system. Often the transformation of other characters to the Latin writing system is called romanization or latinization. For instance, it is possible to transform a text consisting of Cyrillic, Japanese or Greek letters to the Latin writing system. The rewriting or conversion of the characters of a text from one writing system to another writing system is called transcription or transliteration. ![]() ![]() ![]() Three piece suit is always a classic while swag choice for modern fashioners, we have such as classic fit, slim fit, modern fit, wool suit, peak lapels, 3-piece suits and more.

Ĭraddock: This is really exciting, because for decades, writers like me have been telling your story by threading it into other narratives, but DOOM GUY marks the first time that we're getting your story directly from you. John, I think we talked for five and a half hours straight for that. I've talked to John for several of those books and articles such as Rocket Jump for Shacknews, and for FPS: First Person Shooter, which is a documentary about… Pac-Man! No, it’s about first-person shooters. Craddock, and I am the author of over 30 books about how games are made, people who make them, and why you play them. Craddock: Thanks for coming out, everyone.

That has all happened, of course, and the cherry on top was being asked by Abrams, the publisher of Romero’s memoir, to host Romero live on stage at the 2023 San Diego Comic Con. ![]() If you would have told me the Icon of Sin himself would refer to me as the “foremost chronicler of FPS history” in the acknowledgments section of Doom Guy: Life in First Person, his memoir and one of the most anticipated gaming books of all time, I not only would never have believed you, I’d have thought you a cruel prankster. If you’d have told 10- or 11-year-old me that they would eventually interview id Software co-founder and Doom co-creator John Romero dozens of times, neither version of yours truly would have believed you.

The park maintains its own paved bikeway that winds through the woods and past several kettle ponds. If you’ve opted to stay on the rail trail, Nickerson State Park will be your next diversion-worthy destination.

If you didn’t bring your own bike, Dennis Cycle Center, just three miles from Winstead Inn, offers rentals. With walking trails winding through the woods just off of the rail trail in Harwich Center, the bikeway is certainly worthy of exploring on foot, but a bicycle will let you take in far more territory in just a couple of hours. If you get on the Cape Cod Rail Trail at Dennis Cycle Center, you’ll be treated to yet another beautiful view of a cranberry bog. It is accessible in Harwich Center, about 100 yards from the Winstead Inn and just a short drive from the Beach Resort. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is 25.5 miles of paved bikeway, much of which was constructed on the Old Colony Railroad bed, making it blessedly free of hills. But it is the original Cape Cod Rail Trail that offers the greatest variety of scenic landscapes and local businesses to discover from the trail itself. The aptly named “Chatham Spur” was added several years ago and ends in Chatham, a lovely village. The Cape Cod Rail Trail in Harwich.Īnd yet, if we had to choose – which we kind of do for this story – we would opt for the oldest portion. Far shorter in length and with fewer diversions to explore, Cape Cod’s second-oldest bike route (Falmouth’s Shining Sea Bikeway is a skosh older) has changed dramatically since it was established, and very much for the better, with new “spurs” added to the existing route. Side note: There are other places where you can park, i.e., at trail heads throughout the area, but if this your first time in the park, we highly recommend you go to the visitor center first.When the Cape Cod Rail Trail originally opened, it was a mere shadow of its current self. We were there in time to watch a 15-minute clip about the Cape’s natural history and its possible future. There’s a small museum showing the history of the Cape, a gift store where I bought two water bottles, and even a theater, which shows various short films throughout the day. The Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham is great place to kick off your National Seashore adventure. You only need to pay if you are parking at a beach. If you’re staying closer to Provincetown, you may want to check out the Province Lands Visitor Center first. Because we were on a day trip and we live off-Cape, we first stopped at the Eastham visitor center. First things first: Getting to the Cape Cod National Seashoreīecause the park is so vast, there are two visitor centers: one in Eastham (50 Nauset Rd., Eastham, MA), and one in Provincetown (171 Race Point Rd., Provincetown, MA).

Reilly attended a presentation held at the NIHF Museum (then located in Akron, Ohio), and shared stories about her experience working in the test kitchen. In 2002, Campbell and Reilly donated the recipe to the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF). Though the dish is now Campbell’s most requested recipe, Reilly said she didn’t realize how popular it was until 40 years later. Reilly’s dish was originally called the “Green Bean Bake,” and it gained its popularity when Campbell began printing the recipe on its mushroom soup cans. Her recipe reflects the many trials she conducted, as well as her determination to get things just right. She repeatedly adjusted ingredient quantities and bake times to determine which components created optimal flavor. After testing different recipes, Reilly’s final product was the result of a true experiment. She was tasked with creating a recipe that used two ingredients most Americans had on hand at the time: canned green beans and Campbell’s condensed cream of mushroom soup. In 1954, Dorcas Reilly worked as a recipe developer and manager at Campbell Soup Company’s Test Kitchen. Take, for example, the story of green bean casserole. The staples we look forward to likely have both a personal family history and a societal history of their own. This year, between viewings of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and primetime football, consider reflecting on the dishes you’ll be digging into. Even so, there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a delicious meal with the ones you love. There are many wonderful things about celebrating Thanksgiving: the chance to spend time with friends and family and a break from school or work are often at the top of the list. ![]() ![]() The writing will begin at the command of the Write button.

Virtual credit cards are usually accessed through a request to one’s bank or creditor. Here’s everything you should know about virtual cards and whether having one is right for you. Virtual credit cards have surged in popularity in recent years, thanks largely to the rise in online shopping alongside the rise in cyberattacks and identity theft. Online retailers and services never even have access to the information itself, and the next time you use the feature, an entirely new number is generated in order to help avoid hacking or fraud. Through their system, rather than entering your physical card’s information into a website when making an online transaction, you’re redirected to your online account where a 16-digit virtual number and security code are instantly generated and used to authorize the transaction. For example, Bank of America offers a version of virtual credit cards called ShopSafe. ![]() ![]() Virtual credit cards are generally not standalone lines of credit-meaning, they’re usually generated in connection to an existing credit account.

There are now fully guided animations that act as tutorials for those of us who really don’t know what they’re doing… even if they’ve tried and tried again. The goal of retooling the UI and creating better processes for assembling the initial rocket is to make sure that new players don’t get scared off by the lack of accessibility. (It was much more finicky and persnickety in the original KSP.) You’ll be able to bring up the brand new “plan view” to build separate modules and then assemble everything when you’re good and ready. In KSP 2, players will be able to filter, tag, and search parts and modules to find exactly what they’re looking for. The user interface (UI) has been updated, as well. I look forward to documenting my failures in exquisite detail. KSP 2‘s development team heard their community loud and clear: the new game will provide ways to create cinematic launches with custom camera work and audio. If your fuselages don’t match your thrusters, what kind of an engineer are you anyway?Īmong the Kerbal community are folks who document their own launches, either for entertainment purposes or to better understand what went right (or what went horribly wrong). Part of those new tools is color customization, because if you’re like me, color coordination is a must. KSP 2 will have updated graphics (it looked really pretty), alongside new parts, new tools, and new tech for new and experienced players to dive into. Source: Private Division What are some of the updates we can expect in Kerbal Space Program 2? KSP 2 is looking to change that as the designers are working toward creating a game that is accessible for new players while providing new and interesting challenges for their enormous, established community. The biggest problem with the original Kerbal Space Program is that it isn’t all that friendly when it comes to imparting new players with the knowledge to cobble together their first spacecraft. My two sons have managed to get their rockets into space, so clearly I’m just a terrible rocket scientist and my sons are smarter than me. In my case, it was about building rocket ships very poorly and watching my poor Kerbals explode before breaking the atmosphere (or even taking off in some instances). Kerbal Space Program is all about building ships, mostly rocket ships. What is Kerbal Space Program and what’s up with the second one? I had the opportunity to check out a video demo of Kerbal Space Program 2 at PAX West this year and, while I’m still not sure I’ll ever get a Kerbal into space, I might have a better chance at it in the new game. Original flavor Kerbal is starting to show its age, and the new Kerbal Space Program 2 is looking to shape up and help players blast off into the wild unknowns of space. Currently, Kerbal Space Program brings in 400,000 monthly players, and the game is 8 years old as of June 2019. ![]() Rocket science, as it was presented in the original Kerbal Space Program, turned out to be way too complicated for me (even though my background is in computer science).
