whistling

I could dial a number simply by whistling it.

Newspapers are just whistling past the graveyard right now.

Would you say flute players can't play music "with soul" because they aren't directly whistling the noises? Why not?

The FBI is using a 40 year old technology that can be hacked by whistling 2600 hz into a phone and get all bent out of shape when someone records it? No.

Sounds like the tune Microsoft has been whistling for decades now. > That's the world for which Microsoft is building Windows 8.

All my life I have made tea with a ~$10 stovetop whistling kettle; no one has ever criticized it and it will never break.

I better start brushing up on my modem whistling skills! I used to whistle Hayes 300bps and AppleCat 1200bps handshakes in order to lock open lines when speed dialing.

I used to be able to tell which of the long row of Model 33 TTY's was left on at the college computer center by whistling the 300 baud carrier and modulating it a little. The ones that were on would start typing gibberish.

If she said something like "they were wolf-whistling and throwing dollar bills", that's an objective statement that we can either think is true or false, and form certain opinions about it. The only objective word we have heard so far is "staring".

I kind of draw the line at the stage where a precocious ten year old can steal your data while jumping on one foot and whistling the latest Lady Gaga song with one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed. If that doesn't define a security hole I don't know what would.

The kids in the audience who actually wanted to learn something interesting about science weren't wolf-whistling. The people who are perpetuating that kind of behaviour are idiots with a stupid, narrow view of what it means to be male.

Or whistling innocently and pretending it's not my code while leaving the room. handling it as "+infinity" has a 50/50 chance of being "correct" It has zero chance of being correct because infinity can never be the result of any arithmetic computation.

Pinching butts, whistling, making sexual advances, hiring unqualified men over qualified women, etc. are all ham-handed ways of creating that environment.

Saying that JQuery is a monad without saying what its return and bind are is equivalent to saying that whistling is Turing complete without saying how you can compute stuff with whistling. The problem here is not whether whistling is Turing complete or not, the problem is what it would even mean for whistling to be Turing complete.

As I lie in bed looking up into the darkness, a boundless expanse of tens of millions of miles of absolutely nothing lies between me, and a small man made robot with the martian wind gusting and whistling gently over it. A robot that is cautiously making small movements, buzzing and whirring going about it's business with no one there to hear the sounds or see the movements it's making.

Normally the knob tot he immediate right could control resonance, which boosts the signal around the cutoff frequency and produces an intense whistling/shrieking sound as it is turned up to maximum. High resonance and low cutoff settings act like a spotlight upon the timbral complexity of the oscillator output and are a staple of electronic music.

Many or even all men can feel this same expectation in performance-based professions, but they will not blame their sex" is dog whistling for the idea that women are somehow conspiring to use anti-sexism to apologize for poor performance. Also, how you can claim to know the feelings of "many or even all men", and compare them to the feelings of women is beyond me.

Along the lines of the insane worries that Kevin Mitnick couldn't be granted access to a phone because he might hack teh USA by whistling into the phone, I think there is often a weird witchcraft-style reaction to computer crime, where the defendant is seen as some kind of nearly omnipotent wizard.
