So Charlie had the leg.
Everything was copacetic until ETA minus one five.
WX was zip, zip.
Damn. Not what we'd been briefed.
Charlie cut the eyes out of the ILS with the monitored AP and AT and we found it, no sweat.
Time to head for the barn.

Who are you and what are you doing?

1. Damn. Nobody even looked. Not a peek.

Maybe they think jargon is a Battlestar Galactica race?

2. *lol* I'm peeking, I'm peeking!

The "jargon" intrigued me, mostly because I've learned to loathe business jargon, and especially so when I catch myself using it.

I HATE most corporate catch phrases:
going forward
change our paradigm
outside the box
leverage ANYthing (unless it's my damn pay)

I could go on but I won't...


Have a good night

3. I'll tell you, only if you tell me what this is a graph of....

5. I already did. In the original thread. My EEG.

And I STILL want to know where you got it.

[madinmaryland]

6. Trof. If that was your EEG, this thread would probably get locked!

4. Fourier Transforms reveal the composite nature, expressed in sine waves of varying amplitudes

and frequencies. Duration, pitch, and amplitude. Many of the overtone series are either sharp or flat from the perfect mathematical representation, and from digital and electrical representations, and may further change frequency in regard to how strongly the system is excited.

7. Twiddle factor

Twiddle factors originally referred to the root-of-unity complex multiplicative constants in the butterfly operations of the Cooley-Tukey fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, used to recursively combine smaller discrete Fourier transforms. This remains the term's most common meaning, but it may also be used for any data-independent multiplicative constant in an FFT.

9. I think you made that up.

Really.

[pokerfan]

12. It's all made up

[trof]

8. No, but nice try.

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. It's all true, excepting the bit about the rubber.
