Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the channel I'm listening to keep re-buffering?

SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Help
Re-buffering is something that is experienced with all live internet streaming. Most often, the reasons for this are because of your Internet connection speed (56K or lower) or because of excess Internet traffic. You can try waiting a few minutes or accessing the channel later when there might not be as much traffic.

Why does the channel I'm listening to keep closing down?

SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Help
This is most likely because of network traffic. If this problem continues or occurs frequently at certain times, please contact Customer Care.

What is buffering?

Internet Streaming Media FAQ
Players that read streaming media must first process a certain amount of the stream (at least one packet) in order to display anything. The buffer is a word for computer memory that stores digital information that will later be processed. The computer memory can either be in the form of RAM or a partial temporary file that the media player constructs from the stream.

Why does my MFC window flash, even though I'm using double buffering?

OpenGL FAQ / 5 Microsoft Windows Specifics
Your view class should have an OnEraseBackground() event handler, which should do nothing other than return TRUE. This tells Windows that you've cleared the window. Of course, you didn't really clear the window. However, returning TRUE keeps Microsoft from trying to do it for you, and should prevent flashing.

What are you listening to?

Frequently Asked Questions About Radio Astronomy
Actually, nothing! While everyday experience and Hollywood movies make people think of sounds when they see the words "radio telescope," radio astronomers do not actually listen to noises. First, sound and radio waves are different phenomena. Sound consists of pressure variations in matter, such as air or water. Sound will not travel through a vacuum. Radio waves, like visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays, are electromagnetic waves that do travel through a vacuum.

Does it matter if I fall asleep while listening?

Centerpointe Research Institute: Frequently Asked Questions ...
No, in fact, it is very common in the beginning to nod out while listening. We are taking you into a delta brain wave pattern, that of sleep, and your brain is also making a lot of very relaxing neurochemicals, including endorphins. The combination can make you fall asleep. As the brain reorganizes you will gain the ability to remain alert throughout. So falling asleep is really one of many signs that the brain is really being pushed.

Does Napster monitor what I'm listening to and downloading?

Napster at GCC: FAQs
Napster keeps track of all the songs that are downloaded, streamed and purchased. This allows customers to recover their music if they lose it. Also, this insures that artists and record labels are paid to receive their correct royalties.

How do I know I'm listening safely?

Sensaphonics / FAQ
To gain the hearing conservation benefits of in-ear monitors, one must refer to the damage-risk criteria from OSHA to determine allowable exposure times for safe use. The longer the performance (exposure time), the lower the volume must be (dB output of the earphones). This is less of a problem for national touring acts whose shows are less than one or two hours.

I'm seeing errors in depth (Z) buffering. Why?

Mesa uses a 16-bit depth buffer by default which is smaller and faster to clear than a 32-bit buffer but not as accurate. If you need a deeper you can modify the parameters to glXChooseVisual in your code.

I'm having problems with my player pausing, buffering or disconnecting. How can I fix this?

And what do I type once I get there? And when I'm done, how do I leave a channel?

Note that you will often come in in the *middle* of a conversation. Unless you're familiar with the channel you may want to sit and watch it for a minute or two to see what the conversation is about. Often the channel name (for instance, #DeepPurple) has nothing to do with what conversation goes on on the channel at that particular moment. On #DeepPurple we are a bunch of people who all like Deep Purple but that doesn't mean we don't discuss other things. Like beer. Or computers.

I'm banned from the channel! What can I do?

MacFilez FAQ 4.0
This depends on how you were banned. There are manual bans, and permanent bans. Permanent bans are automatically re-enforced when the offending user joins the channel. Manual bans are bans placed by an Op to prevent a user from joining the channel and are removed either when they expire 2 hours later, or by the op who placed the ban.
