Project Porposal - Real-time Packet loss recovery techniques for streaming audio

Packet loss can be detrimental to streaming audio causing pops and clicks. While there are several solutions to this problem, the intention is to increase the quality of reconstructed speech while keeping the cost of computation low. To attain this goal the Linear prediction based packet loss concealment method will be studied and implement. Linear prediction based algorithims extract the residual signal of the previously received speech by linear prediction analysis, uses periodic replication to generate an approximation for the excitation signal of missing speech, and generates synthesized speech using this excitation. This algorithm will be compared to other algorithms by subjective quality tests under various conditions. Shortcomings of this algorithm will be evaluated and enhancements to further improve the audio quality will be suggested.

Pay ISP to get priority for traffic to and from your Web site

Congress is currently wrestling with telecommunications reform on whether to allow telecoms to prioritize packets in this way.

Large Web sites offer me most of what I want when I surf the Net. But smaller sites are typically the ones that offer innovative services or radical improvements on existing services. Would Google have grown to its current prominence if Yahoo had been able to pay ISPs to make its site run much faster? Perhaps, perhaps not. The pay-to-prioritize scheme automatically favors large, established players who already have a customer and revenue base and can afford the rates. What will we miss out on if smaller sites have even less chance of being seen?

Yahoo admits it let White House access its databases

Another Reason why not to Yahoo!Yahoo has admitted that it granted the US Government access to its search engine's databases this summer, as a battle develops over the right to privacy in cyberspace.

Yahoo admits it let White House access its databasesBy Jenny Booth and agencies http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-2002169,00.html

Thanks for google who has rejected a demand from the US government to provide information on what millions of people have been looking up using its internet search engine website

Government wants to know what you Google

So you thought you were safe when you googled for porn ;-)

The government wants a list all requests entered into Google's search engine during an unspecified single week — a breakdown that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases.

Create Syllable Dictonary

We should structure our projects with
a file named Abbrev.c. This is simple a single comment that contains the
syllable dictionary. This ensures that future maintenance programmers both
understand and can use the naming structure. For example:

Abbrev Meaning
------ -----------------------------
-- A --
Accl Acceleration, signed (ref: Dcel)
Acq Acquiring (ref: L.O.W)
Act Actual
Ad A/D (ref: Alog)
Adc Analog / Digital Converter
Addr Address
Adj Adjust
Ai Analog Input(s)
Aio Analog I/O
Alog Analog
Amp Amps (ref: volt)
Ana Analog (ref: Aio, Dig)
Ang Angle
Ao Analog Output(s)
Arg Argument(s)
Auto Automatic (ref: Manual)
Aux Auxillary mast, Auxillary pump (ref: Mast)
Avg Average (ref Typ)

-- B --
Bad Bad (ref: Ok)
Batt Battery (ref: Bsoc, Pwr)
Beg Begin (ref: End, Head, Start)
Bld Build
Bot Bottom (ref: Top)
Bsoc Battery State Of Charge
Buf Buffer (ref: Tbl)
But Button (ref: Sw)


Note the references on some items above, to point to related or
opposites. I have found that it is well worth spending several hours
crafting a good dictionary that supports the application domain of the
embedded system being produced.

Another convention that we have is that acronyms become camel-cased
syllables. Only the first letter is capitalized. Eg, PWM is used as
PwmOld. Among other things, this capitalization helps delineate the
syllables. Again, it is only an English convention that we write
abbreviations in all caps.
