Podcasting. A podcast is a digital medium consisting of an episodic series of audio, video, PDF, or ePub files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device.
The word is a neologism and portmanteau derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the success of the iPod, as audio podcasts are often listened to on portable media players. Merriam Webster defines Podcast: a program (as of music or talk) made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet[1] Name[edit] The term "podcasting" was first mentioned by Ben Hammersley in The Guardian newspaper in a February 2004 article, along with other proposed names for the new medium.[4][5] It is a portmanteau of the words "pod" —from iPod— and "broadcast".[6] Despite the etymology, the content can be accessed using any computer that can play media files and not just portable music players.
History[edit] In June 2005, Apple released iTunes 4.9 with native support for podcasts. Uses[edit] Building a (fast) wikipedia offline reader. In two days... (August 2007) Changelog: Executive summary It's strong points: Very fast searching Keyword (actually, title words) based searching Search produces multiple possible articles: you can choose amongst them LaTEX based rendering for Mathematics (thanks to the guys at woc.fslab.de) Harddisk space is minimal: the original .bz2 file (split in pieces) plus the index built through Xapian Orders of magnitude faster to install (a matter of hours) compared to loading the "dump" into MySQL Here's a screenshot: What this is and why I built it Wikipedia needs no introductions: it is one of the best - if not the best - encyclopedias, and it's freely available for everyone. Everyone can be a relative term, however... The result of the import process was also not exactly what I wanted: I could search for an article, if I knew it's exact name; but I couldn't use parts of the name to search; if you don't use the exact title, you get nothing.

It is described in Keen 4 as "the second-dumbest creature in the universe" (a reference to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the dumbest) with thought patterns that go "swim swim hungry, swim swim hungry". The game also mentioned that they would "eat anything alive and moving near them, though they prefer heroes". Whenever it does eat something, it turns to face the viewer and belches. id Software's Tom Hall later gave it its fake scientific name: Piscis swimeatus. In October 1995, Joe Siegler of 3D Realms launched the Dopefish.com[1] web site as an archive of all things Dopefish-related.
Siegler reportedly maintained dopefish.com on company time while working for 3D Realms. The Dopefish in video games[edit] Appearances[edit] Appearances are given in chronological order, and do not include fan-made add-ons. Ariane 5 Flight 501. Cluster consisted of four 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb) cylindrical, spin-stabilised spacecraft, powered by 224 watt solar cells.
The spacecraft were to have flown in a tetrahedral formation, and were intended to conduct research into the Earth's magnetosphere. The satellites would have been placed into highly eliptical orbits; 17,200 by 120,600 kilometres (10,700 by 74,900 mi), inclined at 90 degrees to the equator.[3] The Ariane 5 reused the inertial reference platform from the Ariane 4, but the Ariane 5's flight path differed considerably from the previous models.

See /playlist for a sampling of URLs to use with other music players. Pdproject[edit] A very active uploader of free music to Wikimedia Commons is User:Pdproject at Wikimedia Commons, which is an organization rather than a single individual. At first, Pdproject uploaded old ogg-files in single mono quality 16-bit/96 kHz at the beginning of their project. Pdproject does not make volume boosts with noise reductions, because they are an archive which produces original files in their original state. Noise filtering[edit] Electronics book on wikipedia.
