There, girls, said the triumphant Speckles. That will show Julie whether we have forgiven her or not. And now, do you hear that musical whistle calling us back to our places We d better hustle for the machines will start up in a minute or two. Machines are like time and the tide, they wait for no man. Nor woman, either, not even for Julie Benoit, and with a laugh, Speckles was off like the wind. 

Both sets of instructions concluded with the directions "While you concentrate I am going to play music on the tape machine. Do not let the sounds occupy your attention or disturb your concentration. If you find you have drifted into a stream of thought, stop and bring your attention back to the vase. At the end of minutes I will tell you that the ses-... 

Post-production Sound Editing In the context of sound recording, the ability to correct the pitch of an off-key musical note can help salvage a take that would otherwise be unusable. Multi-track hard-disk recording machines often offer such capabilities. 

The space probe is shaped like a huge sphere. Inside the sphere are a number of smaller, self-contained spheres, each of which holds machinery for specialized tasks. In the biggest of the interior spheres—let s call it the library —are the blueprints for making all the machines in the space probe. These are not ordinary blueprints, however. They can be thought of as blueprints in braille—or perhaps as sheet music for a player piano— where physical indentations in the blueprint cause a master machine to make the machine for which the blueprint codes. 

In a report prepared for the University of Michigan s Institute of Social Research, Paul Hirsch described the product of Adorno s Radio Research Project. (20) According to Hirsch, the establishment of postwar radio s Hit Parade "transformed the mass medium into an agency of sub-cultural programming." Radio networks were converted into round-the-clock recycling machines that repeated the top 40 "hits." Hirsch documents how all popular culture — movies, music, books, and fashion — is now ran on the same program of preselection. Today s mass culture operates like the opium trade the supply determines the demand. 

A quantum computer thus has the capability of operating in a massively parallel mode. A 300-qubit quantum computer could theoretically store 2 10 bits of information, more than the estimated number of atoms in the known Universe, and also be capable of doing 2 ° simultaneous calculations. A classical computer can be likened to a solo musical instrument, a quantum computer to a full orchestra. If the music is well played, a symphony is much more profound than the sum of its parts. A major technical problem in constructing quantum computers is to minimize interactions within the machine and with the environment, which would cause decoherence—a breakdown in quantum entanglement.
