Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Also, in many dimmers, if the sound has gotten louder over the years, the dimmer probably needs to be replaced.
Also? That sound only teenagers are able to hear? I can hear it too. Which really surprised me, because between work and liking loud rock music, I know I've suffered some frequency loss.
Sean, actually theatrical dimmers haven't done their work via resistance dimming in a few decades. They do it with SST or SCR dimmer.
Ooh! What's the difference? I mean, most lighting packs still buzz when dimmed to some degree, so what's going on there?
SCR dimming makes the buzzing much worse, but there is less wasted energy. Basically SCR dimming works by rapidly pulsing the energy on and off at a specific point in the waveform.
Take a look at the dimming section on wikipedia:

Specifically you are looking at Thyristor dimmers.
What does the term NATted IPs mean? Isn't it the IP addresses within the local network? We are punching firewall holes, and the developer in charge of the ticket swears those are the IPs we need to get from the client so they can get through.
But intuitively that makes no sense to me. Wouldn't you need the external IP addresses?
Needless to say, the firewall rules don't work as implemented.
we should exchange usernames or something because I'd be happy to trade frogs with people who need a particular species combo.
I am la-perkins, and I have a lot of frogs I am trying to get rid of, if people want to trade or get gifts.
okay, I'm going to contact you both at your profile addys so we can do some coordination of frog exchanges.
Drew and Sean, that was really interesting.
I have no idea what this frog thing is about.
