First! >__> Lolz Wizard of oz
Discontinuous transmission (DTX) is a method of momentarily powering-down, or muting, a mobile or portable wireless telephone set when there is no voice input to the set. This optimizes the overall efficiency of a wireless voice communications system. In a typical two-way conversation, each individual speaks slightly less than half of the time. If the transmitter signal is switched on only during periods of voice input, the duty cycle of the telephone set can be cut to less than 50 percent. This conserves battery power, eases the workload of the components in the transmitter amplifiers, and reduces interference.
A common misconception is that DTX improves capacity by freeing up TDMA time slots for use by other conversations. In practice, the unpredictable availability of time slots makes this difficult to implement. However, reducing interference is a significant component in how GSM and other TDMA based mobile phone systems make better use of the available spectrum compared to older analog systems such as AMPS and NMT. While older network types theoretically allocated two 25-30kHz channels per conversation, in practice some radios would cause interference on neighbouring channels making them unusable, and a single radio may broadcast too strong a signal to let nearby cells reuse the same channel.
GSM combines short packet sizes, frequency hopping, redundancy, power control, digital encoding, and DTX to minimize interference and the effects of interference on a conversation. In this respect, DTX indirectly improves the over-all capacity of a network.
In packet radio systems such as GPRS/EDGE, it is possible to combine DTX with capacity increase when VoIP is used for telephony. In such cases, resources freed up when one user is in silence can be used to serve another user. The increase of the number of users will contribute to the interference level. Systems that use voice codecs such as AMR can reduce vocoder rate adaptively to better combat interference.
Systems based upon CDMA air interfaces such as IS-95/CDMA2000, and most forms of UMTS, can use a form of implied DTX by usage of a variable rate codec such as AMR. As with the packet radio systems above, when one side of the conversion is silent, the amount of transmitted data is minimized. Again, the effect is reduce interference.
A DTX circuit operates using voice activity detection (VAD). Sophisticated engineering is necessary to ensure that circuits of this type operate properly and do not swallow parts of words which were mistaken as background noise. Usually comfort noise is used to fill phases of discontinued transmission.
In wireless transmitters, VAD is sometimes called voice-operated transmission (VOX).
…O.o
Do we care?
This only works if the comment is only first >__>
More than “occasionally”. lol
NK. What about Labyrinth and Alice in Wonerland?
I’m waiting for the Tim Burton version. You want to see an acid trip, there ya go.
That would be awesome. I wonder what role Depp would be cast as. The Tinman? Cowardly Lion?
Hopefully Dorothy
Let’s cast him as everyone and do the movie that way.
But then there would be no part for Helena Bonham Carter!
She could be Dorothy, Johnny could be the rest. *nods*
Ohhh. I really like her! She could be Dorothy.
Tim Burton is doing Alice in Wonderland, not Wizard of Oz. Sorry. And Johnny (yes, we’re on first name terms
) is playing the Mad Hatter.
Agreed. To be honest, that would be something I would want to see, if he ever did it.
Willy Wonka and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well. Did they really think kids would enjoy them? My sibs and I are all traumatized by flying monkeys, Oompa-loompas and creepy pointy-nosed kidnappers.
Don’t forget Alice in Wonderland or Fantasia… if those aren’t animated acid trips I don’t know what are.
And Mary Poppins now that I think about it.
Ahh! I’m still scared to death of Creepy-Smiley Cat!!
Ever watch Yo Gabba Gabba?
There’s a party in my tummy, and you’re invited
So yummy, so yummy!
OMIGAWDYES!!!!!!
Don’t you mean opium trip, they didn’t have acid back then….
Actually, LSD was invented in 1938, and Wizard of Oz came out in 1939, so it’s just barely possible.
Well, they didn’t have LSD when the book was written.
LSD was discovered in 1943.
I double checked – LSD was first synthesized in 1938 but its psychoactive properties weren’t discovered untill 1943. It still couldn’t have inspired Oz.
You’re thinking of Alice in Wonderland. The Wizard of Oz was a political allegory.
To be fair, “The Wizard of Oz” was actually not intended for children when it was originally created. The movie was deemed too scary for younger viewers.
to be fair, when to book was written, it was social commentary on industrilized america (back when people made very little money)
its not an acid trip.. thats a field of POPPYS, they make heroine out of poppys. and thus dorothy and the rest pass out.
now. they used to use cocaine to get people off of heroine. so the snow that wakes up heroine can be seen as cocaine. look it up.
sad thing is we discussed this in my senior humanities english class haha
I didn’t discuss it in any class, but I read the book as a child and yes, it was very apparent that Dorothy and her companions falling asleep in the poppy field was an opium allusion.
I don’t recall if this scene was in the movie.
The book was great. A lot darker than the movie. Return to Oz is much truer to the dark nature. And, much more of a trip!
Seconded. And, of course, Fairuza Balk was many years nearer the right age to play Dorothy!
I know I’m going to sound like a miserable old fart here, but I’m kind of sick of the incesant equation of creativity and drugs use. It speaks of a very dull sort of person that they find it impossible to concieve of how a person may engage in creativity activity without chemical “inspiration”. It’s cynical, it’s tired and it’s simply not funny anymore, if it ever was.
They’re not talking about creativity. They’re talking about stuff they think is weird and nonsensical.
Heh. You said ‘fart’.
You obviously have never heard of Hunter S. Thompson, who was a BRILLIANT author, and used drugs repeatedly throughout his life, and probably up until the day he died. There are countless artists, musicians, and authors who use drugs (and alcohol) – and if they’re able to find some kind of creativity out of it, then what’s the problem? No, you don’t need drugs to be creative or to be able to make a beautiful piece of art or prose, but if it can help…
I guess the point I’m trying to make is don’t be so quick to judge. If someone wants to use it to be able to get a different kind of state of mind, the kind that they might need for a certain project, then there’s no reason they shouldn’t.
People shouldn’t be cynical towards THAT population, not the one that promotes anti-drug slogans. In case you’re forgetting, our entire society, not to mention the government, is extremely anti-drug, so I think you’ve got the wrong picture here.
I want to know how many people captioning things like this have actually done acid . . .
I heard that – the accompanying picture isn’t even CLOSE. Try a Michel Gondry music video, like Come Into My World, or Let Forever Be. Much closer in scope and mental engagement than the Wiz.
>_>
Well, considering “The Wizard of Oz”? Highly likely.
…how about Magic Mushrooms?
XD
