Looks like a new sensor development project. Maybe they need to test it in dense jungle environments?

EDIT: Bingo. http://airmoss.jpl.nasa.gov/

Thank you very much, MaverickSawyer. I've been reading all about that "pod" on the link. That was very informative and interesting.

I don't get the rabbit...

You need to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

 

[mojoey]

Is it an African or European Hand Grenade?

 

[Cosmic Penguin]

Well the question above is moot now anyway, because I have given up cooking that pi in favor of the Einstein-Brain-Tau-Toad-Stew.

Oh and add a little bit of white chocolate for dessert.....

Beware the ides of March. It's tomorrow.

The most funny thing about the killer rabbit of Caerbannog is really Jones showing of his scholarship again... The "vice of cowardice" was traditionally visualised as a knight running away from a rabbit :lol:

Well, the English version was supposed to come out this summer. But Crypton Future Media took back that message.

Also, I'd rather listen to Miku songs in their original language since I can focus more on the voice and melody instead of the lyrics.

 

[TMac3000]

True:yes: And English translations of Japanese songs tend to sound really strange anyway:lol: I was just having a snicker over the fact that there's about two trillion "Miku Hatsune's" and "Hatsune Miku's" posting comments on YouTube, and probably none of them are the official one

Besides, with a caboose like that, I could watch her vids without audio

 

[Pipcard]

Oh, I get it now. You were talking about the role-players on YouTube. At first, I wasn't sure what you meant by "type English".

This is the official one, by the way.

If you're familiar with the alphabet being used, it's generally easier to produce and understand a language that is not your mother tongue on paper than it is to do so in speech. Writing isn't real time, so you have time to check dictionaries and such, and your accent doesn't usually show up on paper (it can if you get similar sounds confused, but other than that, it doesn't).

No, he's talking about how some people on YouTube post comments (in English) role-playing as the singing software character of Hatsune Miku, but Miku isn't designed to sing in English (yet).

Why? The lyrics, and the story told in the song, are often the best part. The people who make these things must be somewhat sadistic, because often they're so damn sad/beautiful.

That isn't to say that dubs are worth listening to, because they're almost always not.

And then there are the insane people on Nico Nico Douga who go and sing perfectly songs that aren't designed for a human to be capable of singing. Screw you American Idol.

 

[Pipcard]

I've never really been a person who focused a lot on lyrics*. IMO, the best part is the melody and voice.

*sometimes, I did, but not that often
