In 1183 the Welsh historian, Giraldus Cambrensis, visited Ireland for two years and wrote his book Topographica Hibernaie . He scathingly described the 'barbarians' he encountered there, criticizing their apparent lack of industry, disinterest in urban life, and love of liberty and leisure. Despite...

Re: So, why are you downloading my tunes?
From an internet point of view "downloading" and "listening" are the same thing.

It doesn't have to be hot enough to melt into a puddle, just enough to soften and distort a little. Which is still pretty hot though.scheky wrote:However, if you have Delrin melting in your car, you must live on the Sun. The Melting Temp of Delrin is 335F/168C. If your car is getting that hot, wow.....

Re: Physics for Hall flute owners
Withak, I think you will find that open holes cause antinodes, not nodes - as you rightly say, the areas of least density or pressure..... True, I'm used to thinking of waves in solids where you can have tension. :) In air you control where the minimum point on the wave is, not where the zero is.

The node is where the sine wave is zero, i.e. where the squiggly line on an oscilloscope crosses from positive to negative or vise versa. For wind instruments, an open hole makes a node by forcing the air pressure inside the tube at that point to be close to zero (relative to the pressure outside th...

Hi Withak, Nice link, but is there a way of getting DownThemAll to recurse into a set of links to find the individual mp3 files? I.e. how to download this particular set of MP3s in a lazy fashion? I don't think so. Wget can do that though. :) Just don't ask me how because I can't remember how all t...

Is there a way of downloading all the MP3s in one batch without having to click on them singly? I've noticed trying to buy the CDs sends you off to a US web site and I'd rather not go through the hassles of customs etc either. And paying for the DRM version seems a bit strange if the files are avai...
