Rev. Al Sharpton = "black noise!"
grin John "Dave" wrote in message news  it's already out there. google for 'black noise' and not only do you find some rap group but also a six-sigma site that uses the term for a non-random cause of variation. there is also well known 'pink noise' that is often used in audio testing. and of course there is the generic 'colored noise'. this site lists not only white and pink but also brown and blue: http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~dpwe/noise/ "Art Bell" wrote in message news:8vaqgcxeinmwvvw.040720051051@kirk... i fear we may soon realize "black noise." that is bad as the terms: "a heart as black as sin", "it was the blackest day of my life", "his black deeds were indicative of his nature", all demonstrate black is bad "KXHB" wrote in message ink.net... The following news is noted in the GEARVAKf (the "f" is silent) Bulletin. "White Noise" Opposed By EEOC ----------------------------- Use of the term "white noise" to describe the production of signals over a wide range of frequencies by the cosmos, atmospheric electrical disturbances, and radio circuitry, has been condemned by the Equal Electrical Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as discriminatory. EEOC spokesperson, Bruce Gweemser, said use of the term is considered derogatory because it attributes either negative or positive characteristics of such signals to a particular color. "If the connotation is negative," he explained, "then Americans of the light-skinned persuasion may be offended. On the other hand, if the connotation is positive, Americans of other darker varieties of skin shading may take offense." Gweemser said that the EEOC strongly recommends the abandonment of the term "white noise" and replacement with another, more descriptive one. "Perhaps 'electrical-American noise' might be more appropriate," Gweemser suggested. -- W8LCZ, et al |
