ridiculous application. :-)


Hey security and weapons budgets have never been higher... it's all in

I'm guessing if they ever used subsonic frequencies with that thing,
ear plugs wouldn't help much.


Either really big earplugs or a butt plug might help.

Don't flame the guy like me that field records a lot with large parabolics.
I do some pretty neat things with parabolic recordings.

They can not reflect a beam back to the source. They direct an infinite
distance to one point or can project one point to an infinite distance. A
surface that reflects directly back at the source is called a wall.


Of course, you're right. And flat surfaces are much more useful at a
demonstration: you can write on them!

Yeah, a barrel of monkeys all the way around!

Maybe some Chinese factory will copy those things and we'll all be able to
buy our own personal riot control sound beams at Wallmart for $29.99...

I have an obscure electronic music CD with some curious black & white

photos
on the sleeve. Big parabolas fashioned out of concrete, one like 20

meters
high! Turns out they were parabolic reflectors on the coast of England

used
to detect approaching aircraft during World War II!

Dang, I lost the CD.... :-o

I know of one acoustic experimentalist, who shall go
nameless, that I would dearly love to sit in that at some
small distance from Killerhorn to see if Doppler distortion
can be detected.

Oh, I found those darned things on the web and the one on the CD sleeve
were in Denge, Kent (England) & built during World War I (not WWII).
Pretty puzzling when I first saw the photos as they were from the back sides
of those things and it was hard to tell how big they were or what the heck
they were for. :-P

One web site refers to them as "concrete ears". :-)

Did they book some Dance-Hall acts to play at this? Buju Banton? Gun Gun
Salute!

Didn't know them rednecks partied like that.

I heard that every July 4th 'on average' 4 people get killed by stray
bulletts from revellers shooting their guns in the air.

Not really. A protest is a surprisingly organized event. There is, for
example, a huge network of support taking care of the kids, whatever,
that you never see. Anyway, there are plenty of things to protest at
the RNC - Bush has a *huge* number of "accomplishments" (to be polite)
that could be protested, and everyone's gonna want to protest the war.
The organizers will have to make assignments, otherwise the full breadth
of this awful administration's screw-ups won't be highlighted.

A lot of these protestors don't want Kerry, either. How can anyone
assume they do?

I guess some people (especially at 1211 6th Ave.) only see black and
white. No colors. Not even any shades of gray!

Bingo!

Give the man a prize.

Most of these good folks doing the protesting are true anarchists. They only
see Kerry over Bush as a step in the right direction; not the final
prefferred destination which would be no laws, no governments, no respect
for anything... ANYTHING, and a take what you can take, do what you can do
attitude.

Heavy sigh. It is not those polled a poll makes liars of,

I know of no one else in the world that calls the events of 9/11/01 a
"bombing" or a "second bombing:".


You can't really be as dense as you pretend, Will. It just
isn't possible.



It does, however, seem to be medical.
