#23the coolest bit by far is RDS was decoded from intermodulation distortion in the radio's Line Out audio caused by the stereo demuxer circuitry. :o)
The frequency shifting of the stereo signal must be doing exactly that, shifting everything down and not filtering
RDS at 57k she says? Stereo signal (or better, the L-R information) is at 38k (double band suppressed carrier, so the carrier would be at 38k). So 57 - 38 = 19k!

Yeah, added it to my RSS feed. (And it has been a while since I added something.)

I assumed the same. Then when I scrolled up to see who the author was I was pleasantly surprised that it's a woman who writes about this. (You usually only get to read meta-social-stuff posts from women.)
The bigger surprise was that she was self taught. (The surprise would be just as big if the author was a man.)

Or people did not know, and were indifferent to, her gender and used the male pronoun because that is the correct grammatical structure when the gender is unknown.
I certainly never pay the slightest bit of attention to the gender of people I read. Does it make any difference?

On someone's personal blog, if you're going to comment, and the person's name and photo is right there, it's about the same as addressing a female in person as "Sir" (or in this case, "dude")

#29Whew, she is in Finland.
In the USA, Carmen Ortiz would be sending in cops to shoot their dog and seize their computer.

Well it's funny/sad if the commenters are not finnish, because

Pentti is a finnish males' name not a womans' name, I was really confused when I found out in comments she is she not he.
