H8: The Much-Debated Big Important Space Dementia Question

[Gemsy]

Are you talking about a thread regarding the H8 issue or just this thread http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=74079 ?

 

The H8 thing, although if the search wasn't fruitful I was planning on merging it with that one one anyway!

[Hat]

Yeah, I figured. Since this one wasn't that hard to find

[Gemsy]

Actually no it doesn't really fit with that one...

[Hat]

It does. Now MERGE!

[Gemsy]

Found one. Haha. I'm surprised there's only one though.

Anyway, an answer can be found on the MuseWiki: http://www.musewiki.org/Space_Dementia_(song)) I still lol when I read Matt's cheeky answer. That was fun, that question and answer session.

[shadowkay]

I'm confus, does he actually say H-8, I always thought it was hate.

[Gemsy]

Aaaitch eeeeight...

He needs to answer questions that way more often.

The lyrics in the album booklet just say 'Height'. But no one really knows if it's H8, H Eight, Hate or Height, including Matt .

Yes he says "H-eight is the one for me" blah blah. I always wondered what it meant but assumed hate as in H8.

It's been explained that it's H8 based on a microcomputer. The "Height" thing in the booklet was a misprint.

I remember the misprint thing but it seemed like he was taking the piss in his very detailed ad technical reply about H8 in that particular interview. In any case, it's the only version that makes any sense, lol.

[Gemsy]

I'm pretty sure he means it to stay ambiguous. But we know it definitely isn't 'height'.

 

New title - we won't lose this thread again!

It could be H Eight, as in H8 spelled out, lol.

 

Much better title

It's a satellite CPU.

H8/3048 manufactured by Hitachi is used for the

onboard computer of the daughtership.

This CPU has a clock frequency of16MHz, A-D /

D-A ports of 8ch, timer ITU of 5ch and serial

ports of 2ch. The device is selected because of the

tolerance in the space radiation environment. The

radiation test was conducted at NASDA using

Californium as a radiation source. The crosssection

of SEL is roughly estimated at 9E-3 cm2,

resulting in one SEL accident per 46 months in

low earth orbit. The onboard computer consists of

master CPU and slave CPU, and two CPUs watch

their condition each other by means of a watch

dog function of H8.

The band originally wanted to increase the low-frequency sounds at the end below the levels of human hearing to an illegal level

An illegal frequency! If anyone could find the brown note its them!

And why was this thread revived? When I look back on all the pointless threads I've made......

[Niall]

Because people wanted to discuss it so Gemsy merged it.
