I have a question about the acoustic properties of shotgun mics and cardioid front address mics. Now, I understand how shotgun mics have the capsule inside the tube, so that the side port cancellation occurs before the sound reaches the capsule. But I have never fully grasped the concept of a capsule like the CK1, or a mic like the RE20 where the capsule is in front of the ports. Is there some type of rear porting on the condenser capsule backplate, or behind the dynamic moving coil? Any of the diagrams that I've ever seen explain this always have the ports in front of the capsule, and I've never ben satisifed with the verbal explanations of how this works.

An equilateral square??? Aren't all squares equilateral? Isn't that what makes them squares? Nerds can talk such shite.

This is my favourite nerdy bit in the fairly nerdy Futurama

Mayor: "Dr. Wernstrom, can you save my city?"
Wernstrom: "Of course, but it'll cost you. First I'll need tenure."
Mayor: "Done."
Wernstrom: "And a big research grant."
Mayor: "You got it!"
Wernstrom: "Also, access to a lab and five graduate students...at least three of them Chinese."
Mayor: "Did...all right, done. What's your plan?"
Wernstrom: "What plan? I'm set for life. Au revoir, suckers!"
Leela: "That rat! Do something!"
Mayor: "I wish I could, but he's got tenure."

Enterprise."

Ah shite.

I gave up after it said "two words" for the tenth time, idiot. That's not nerdy at all, it's just shit.

Good effort anyway.

Was talking to a girl the other night who insisted that Picard was a better captain (I didn't start it). Now I can point her to these and...hang on....

Ah shite.

Yeah, they're not very good at all. Scratch that plan.

Find me a better list. (As Kirk would say. Picard would ask someone if it were possible to find a better list. Better manners; not captaincy skills).
