I'm a good guy! Honest! :-)
Obligatory electronics related question: What are the
limits on ADC resolution? How close are we?

You probably won't see this, as I post via aioe.org, but it is much simpler
NOT to use filters, especially with for example Agent or any other reader that
gets the headers first, as you have to select the headers you are interested in
anyways.
You now likely have posted more of those filter related messages, then anything
electronics.
Else the situation you wind up with is that you have killfiled everybody else,
BUT the spammers, as THOSE change config all the time.

I'm sure it's noise related, and thus depends on the configuration...
resistors; type: charge redistribution, current-steering, etc.; device

no limit to _resolution_ -- how many useless bits do you want, though?
The limit to the useful number of bits in current-day converters seems
to be noise dependent.
Monolithic 16-bit converters that sample at 100ksps have about 1-2
counts of RMS noise -- this means that your output number will routinely
vary by four to eight counts from nominal. This can be leveraged,
however; if you have the processing power you can sample up to the speed
limits of the converter then average down to your desired 'actual'
sample rate you get a nice anti-aliasing filter for closed-loop control,
and considerably more precision (if not accuracy) than 16 bits.
Ditto for 14-bit monolithic converters sampling at 40MHz, with perhaps
more LSB's of RMS noise.
I suspect that you could do better with a hybrid converter, but I'm not
Jim, so I don't know how much better, or how far you'd have to move
heaven and earth to keep the critter in production if you did.
If your process is slow you can get 24-bit sigma-delta A/D converters
that sample out at 60Hz. I suspect the same (or perhaps only slightly
better) noise spectral density as the above converters, but I've never
done the math (it'd be interesting to do so).

No. A blanket "drop", but with "good guy" exceptions, of aioe is
working great.
What I'm finding remarkable, as I check message ID's, is the gross
number of forgeries via googlegroups.

Yes, I mixed resolution and accuracy :-(
And I agree with "how many useless bits do you want?" But I'm sure
the Monster Cable crowd can "hear" the difference ;-)

Once upon a time, there was a plane called the L1011 (IIRC). They
thought they needed a 16-bit DAC for the seat audio system. I
demonstrated an 8-bit resolution plus 8-bit "gain-rider" that sounded
great and was CHEAP, but they opted to spend a lot of money.

Well, I normally do not even look where it is posted from.
If I see an interesting discussion, and do not have the OP for
some reason (erased it), I go to google groups and look it up,
and then reply from there.
If aioe.org is down I go to datemas.de, but datemas.de was not
even reachable in this weekend,
I have about <lemme see> 33 groups current, of which I follow 11 actively,
all without filters enabled, takes about 10 minutes to make a selection
each morning from about 1000 new headers.
Try us.politics, Obama's speech on race is there (link).
Now here is an interesting viewpoint :-).
Then there is sci.physics, with 90% noise, 9 % anti-Einstein, and the rest
may contain news, etc, sci.astro, etc.
Now how much time you spend fiddling with filters I dunno, but if it is more then 10 minutes
a day, then lemme say it this way: The brain is a zillion neuron computer, I do not
even see them spammers anymore.
An other interesting thing is that both datemas.de AND aioe.org seem to filter spam!

Yeah, I am going to buy a pair. Right now I only have the monstrous
pilot's version with mike and all that, plus a Sennheiser HD480 but the
foam pads on that one have crumpled away :-(
I guess the drivers in the airplane arm rests would be able to drive the
usual lowish impedance. What is nice is the monitor in the seat and the
selection nowadays. They had five movies and two of them were really
good. The food on the return trip was quite good, the departure food wasn't.

It looked like normal 3.5mm stereo plugs to me. Heck, they even had a
removeable remote in the seat and if you turned it around it became an
in-flight telephone with credit card slot. It was a Boeing 777.

A few hundred rapidly shrinking greenbacks will get you a nice pair of

You could make one from 2 mone male and one stereo female.

They offered noise-cancelling ones for $65 from their duty-free but
probably not Bose. Hmm, maybe the horrible "ear pieces" do foster
duty-free sales ...

That was the really old style, right after those PVC-tubing concoctions.
Probably so people would not take the headphones home. Now they are
3.5mm stereo and the ear phones are so horrible nobody wants to take them.

FWIW, Sony has some out now that work pretty well and aren't nearly as
expensive as the Bose. They come with plug adapters for airlines, too.
Needed to get a set for the office, working around some noisy gear.

You're in. I'm running nfilter "FLAG" right now to mark subjects.
Once I list enough "good guys" I'll simply have Agent kill-file on
"GOOG", "AIOE" and "UAR".
Jim Thompson
uar.com produces 99% spam, I have only one poster that's legit.
Right now I pass everything, but tag the subject line with GOOG, AIOE,
or UAR to help me sort out the chaff.
I'll add kill-files for GOOG, AIOE, and UAR once I identify good guys.

Nope, those aren't foldable. Very likely the same or nearly so as far
as noise cancellation, though.
The pair I picked up were $99-ish. Probably wouldn't have gotten them
but I was being driven nuts (and it's a short trip) by some equipment
noise and happened to see them on the rack when I swung by the store
to pick up a load of cat litter.

noise. Probably okay in an aircraft, but I wanted to be able to use
them in an office (the kind that has other people in it), and these
would not have been acceptable in a relatively quiet environment. Not
particularly cheap either, considering they didn't work that well
(maybe $85).
I have a pair of Sony regular phones that covers my ears.. not as high
tech as the noise cancelling ones, but they work pretty well in
airplanes. The cord is too long.

nfilter/News Proxy is something I wish I'd heard of sooner. Really
works nice.
I'll clear manually for a week or so, selectively dumping until I'm
confident that any GOOG, AIOE, or UAR tag is definitely a bad guy,
then I'll let Agent manage dumping those tags.

Yea, right.
Best thing to do is bring a set of different connectors, some screened
cable, a roll of 60/40, and one of those gas powered soldering torches.
If they ask what you are doing, just say: 'I am an engineer'.
If they still bother you, point out the 60/40 and say: 'Here! contains LEAD'.
And then they will scream: LEAD, LEAD, LEAD, terrorists, we are all going to die.

I'm good I hope.. :)
Jim Thompson
Yes.
Playing around with nfilter I discovered that "FLAG" is more
appropriate than "DROP".
"DROP" leaves the unmarked messages on the server, "FLAG" adds text to
the Subject line and downloads the headers where, ultimately, Agent
will dispose of the flagged messages. Flagging makes it easy for me
to track good guys/bad guys without much effort... good guys get added
to the "whitelist"... all other googlegroups, aioe and uar posters go
bye-bye ;-)

> more LSB's of RMS noise.
Not sure about those at 40 MSPS, but a 14 bit, 10 MSPS (AD9240 from
ADI) does spread very little around the central conversion channel,
i.e. the noise peak to peak is well below 1 LSB. Mind you, I have
designed it in 7 or so years ago (board rev. 0 done in 2000...),
not that new an ADC at all. Someone at ADI must know damn well
what he is doing.... :-).

Okay ... the model I picked up was Sony MDR-NC40, with a claimed 40
hrs per AAA. As with (AFAIK) all or nearly all noise canceling
headphones, they're best at suppressing noise that would be called a
rumble or roar and aren't particularly effective for higher
frequencies. In a quiet room there is a slight but noticeable hiss;
OTOH, in a quiet room, just turn off the NC switch and use them as
regular phones. And they really kill the noise from fans and engines.

Seems like Tar-jay does not have that anymore but the other should be
very close since it's also Sony. Rumble-only performance is fine because
it's really about aircraft. Especially when you ride in the rodeo seats
like rows 44-46 on the 777.

Maybe it would be safe to post the filters, I don't know... these

Well, I am not noise-sensitive enough to shell out $300 for headphones.
I am one of the guys who still listen to AM radio when on the road.
One reason I am not going to spend much is that the foam pads on newer
headphones fall apart so fast. My old Sennheisers were great but I can't
find pads anymore. The last ones simply crumpled.

I've got a pair of Philips SHN2500's that are pretty good and I only

It does work better with regular noises that are constant, like roars,

Nonsense, we _all_ think of you as a *very* nice if slightly deluded
old geezer, almost always willing to share both the knowledge and
delusions acquired over those many long years almost anyone willing to
post on SED! Or, put another way, you have been providing thousands
of us with both useful information and entertainment for decades; what
could possibly be nicer? In fact, we _all_ think that makes you one
of the nicest posters here - please keep it up!

Oh come on... I thought you're an EE!

Make sure it passes EMI tests before bringing it on the 777...

Replacement pads for your Sennheiser HD480:

Several online stores also carry them.

The truth table has more than 1 square. You are ASSuMEing
1) Someone will respond.
(Maybe your IF statement should have stated
that your post is truly fascinating. 8-)
2) The someone who responds hasn't been pre-plonked.
(OK--already a condition of your IF statement.)
3) *That* someone is interested enough in your *whole* message
to blockquote it in its entirety.
...and y'know,
*your* trimming should be stripping the sig(s) of previous posters
(anything below and including
the line containing only <hyphen><hyphen><space>).
...but, yeah, *if* all the conditions are met,
someone who filters rigorously will see your post
--or at least what's left of it after trimming.

You need an adapter and that would not be a problem. A problem with such
large sets is their sheer size plus the scrutiny they always get at the
TSA check points.

Ah, thanks! However, one has to inquire about their age because they
aren't very stable and age too fast IMHO.
