    Unsolved The Beaumont Children

    Been a hobby programmer for 35 years and decades ago used MATLAB DOS for research stats.. I recently had to help my daughter with R. Put or a pirate voice and 'Rrrrrrrr, I didn't like it' so not interested MATLAB type solution. Amped Authenticate looks interesting but is, as you say professional...

    Asia China's growing influence

    Whoa, lets spread some porkers. Firstly, no one knows the PRC figures. The official figures from the PRC are worthless, they are lies. They stopped counting. When Xi 'let it rip' the excess deaths over December were around 1-2 million people. I'm not sure they would agree with your statement. I...

    Unsolved The Beaumont Children

    FFT crop up everywhere, nowadays. I was a bit silly, I replied without looking at the next page. If I'd seen your analysis I wouldn't have bothered. It's was good work. Is it a single piece of software you use that does the analysis?

    Unsolved The Beaumont Children

    I disagree. Janes face is tilted back a little and turned a few degrees to the left (of the photo) that gives it more direct illumination. The dark tones are very dark in the picture which gives a dark halo effect around Janes head which makes it a 'fake' look, but some of the others have it...

    Synthesizer and Music Electronics

    The Viktor NV-1 is a beautiful and wonderful sounding software synth. 3 Oscillators, midi capable and fx including a compressor. I don't know what use a compressor is on a synth, perhaps someone could tell me. Highly recommended. https://nicroto.github.io/viktor/ I had a go at installing it...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 4 - thread rules updated

    Speaking of Siberia. One of Chinese biggest grievances dates back to when the czars removed large swaths of territory from China, of course in a 'partnership without limits' you don't mention these things. One thing I recently read, which struck me as highly significant was this- 'Siberia has...

    Mid 2027, but I don't think they will. They need Starship working in its moon lander variant AND Artemis to be up and running. 2029-30 I reckon is realistic, which is the same time that the PRC is planning to land taikonauts. Space Race II, could end up like this:

    Big Kaboom! This weeks Starship launch did not end well. The booster was caught but the main craft stared losing engines power about 8 minutes before exploding a “rapid unscheduled disassembly.”...

    Article about our Ghost bat, the MQ28. Sounds like testing is proceeding well. Boeing is producing 3 Block II aircraft, which have a few changes including a different shaped wing and military grade GPS. https://www.flightglobal.com/military-uavs/boeings-big-bet-on-australias-mq-28/161397.article

    Where Is Clive Palmer?

    Shame, I was sort of hoping he died from the side effects of HCQ, after he took too many of those 30 million pills he bought for humanitarian reasons. Great humanitarian is our Clive.

    Current Social Media Influencer Crimes * Qld Mother Charged With Torture

    The internet has certainly brought the worst out of people. Whether it's politics or down to the individual level. Time to turn it off! I keep having to remind myself - most people are decent and sensible, despite what I see and hear on the web.

    Yes, thank god for compulsory voting. When I was a youngster I thought it was wrong, however with time I have changed my mind completely.

    No it's not, but it becomes propaganda when they do their utmost to diminish and deny the impact of climate change.

    Yes, sad news. The ciggy's finally got him. I saw Ereaserhead when it was released in the late 70's and it blew my mind. I wondered at the time if there was any chance that the maker of film would manage to have a career in Hollywood. And he did, an incredible career. Vale David Lynch

    USA Policy positions of Donald Trump; let's see how many he achieves

    When you express it as percentages it paints a sad picture of US democracy. Bit over 31% of eligible Yanks voted for Trump, 30% voted for Harris and 37% didn't vote al all - for what ever reason.

    Who's afraid of Rupert Murdoch? The end of an era.

    I never said climate change is the sole reason for bushfires. Do you think I am dumb? There is always a proximate cause such as arson, lightning, faulty equipment, Ivan the careless smoker etc. So some folks argue climate change never causes bushfires, this is line the climate change deniers...

    Mod. Notice Technological advances in weaponry

    More about the two new tailless PLAAF fighters - the very large J36 from Chengdu and the smaller, but still large for a fighter, from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The J36 to me hits a sweet spot, a long range, supersonic, stealthy craft with large internal volume for 'stuff', a 21C version of...

    The Liberty Lifter is a DARPA design for a combo seaplane and 'ground effect' craft, like the magnificent soviet era Ekranoplan. While the Ekranoplan could never fly as an aircraft, it did carry, in typical Russian fashion, a swag of big missiles. You can read about the Liberty Lifter at the...

    The Oz continues to disinform about global warming. Here is an article covering the REASONS for the terrible winter bushfires in California. It's the hot desert wind, it's the lack of rain, it's people, it's arsonists. The one thing you won't find it's due to is climate change and global...

    This is really interesting. These scientists developed an experimental model of concussion using neurons grown from stem cells, which were then subject to physical trauma. This is a great thing in itself to develop a good model, we don't really have any good concussion models. Even more...
