	Annoyance and Hearing Aids
		'Annoyance is not an immediate sensation such as loudness, governed solely by characteristics of acoustic signals, nor is it an overt behavior such as a complaint.
		Since annoyance is better viewed as a problem of sound dose, it is essentially impossible to confirm the in-office change has solved the problem until the patient has had the opportunity to use the device for an extended period of time.
		If annoyance seems to be an issue with the patient, decreasing gain and/or increasing compression in the lower frequencies may have a beneficial effect.

	Dr Marlo - Advice Corner, The Annoyance Bank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Annoyances are those things that happen every day, are generally somewhat avoidable, but they really aren't huge tragedies, so when they come up, we usually kind of ignore them and move on.
		You yell at your kid 12 annoyance points' worth (the 3 he earned and the 9 you had stored up) and he gets all bent out of shape because he realizes he deserves 3 of them, but not all 12.
		The point of this approach is to continually discharge the annoyance bank by planning solutions to the annoyances so you don't carry around stupid stuff all day, clogging up your bank for when you really need it.

	NewsForge \| Training Annoyance Filter to combat spam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Annoyance Filter uses a main dictionary, portable among different architectures and fully interoperable, and a lightweight version for fast operations.
		Annoyance Filter uses only one dictionary for storing statistics about both junk and legitimate e-mail; every token (a word or group of words) in the dictionary gets a score denoting the probability of it being junk mail, and these probabilities are used when classifying new e-mail messages.
		In Annoyance Filter, you can choose an arbitrarily long number of words as a token, from single words to groups of, say, 10 words; in practice, the more words per token the more performances will degrade, unfortunately without necessarily better results.

	FAQS regarding asked odour annoyance, nuisance, measurement, assessment and abatement.
		This is particularly useful for studies that involve assessment of annoyance or nuisance, or indeed how effective odour control techniques are at mitigating such issues.
		The disadvantage of the approach is that it is non-specific, and does not identify specific chemical(s) responsible for the odour.
		The range between the annoyance criteria applied for the most offensive and least offensive odours is typically in the region of a factor 10.

	Links to websites of information for regulation of odours, nuisance and annoyance.
		For licensing and enforcement, however, the issue is to determine whether the annoyance constitutes a ‘significant disturbance’, on the basis of the ‘relevance of the annoyance’.
		The degree of annoyance that is admissible, as determined by the responsible authority.
		A feasibility study was completed in early 2000, which concluded that a method for ‘annoyance potential as an attribute of odour could be developed and combined in a model that combined ‘hard’ assessments of odour concentration and odour annoyance and ‘soft’ risk assessments to arrive at a transparent assessment of ‘acceptable annoyance level.

	Annoyance Filter: Adaptive Junk Mail Filter
		The Annoyance Filter is a program which exploits the indelible signature of advertising to identify it before it ever reaches the eyes of the reader, with a very low likelihood of junk mail being confused with legitimate messages.
		From these archives, Annoyance Filter computes statistics for the words which appear in the two collections of messages, determining for each the probability that its appearing in a message is indicative of junk mail.
		Given that Annoyance Filter is standard C++ (and the ubiquity of gcc in any case), porting the program isn't the big problem--it's the integration of filtering with the mail processing system, plus whatever is needed to transform the mail system's archives into the Unix mail folder format the program uses while training.

	Annoyance Theatre Reviews from Users
		The writers have consistently delivered episode after episode of thought-provoking social commentary mixed with hilarious bits and quotes, many of which have made it into the national lexicon.
		Annoyance strived for edgy, hip, smart comedy that pushes the envelope, but only accomplished empty, predictable, tasteless humor that stayed in an envelope I wonât be opening anytime soon.
		Perhaps the greatest "annoyance" potential was that the troupe accidentally performed for a group of Catholic college students who came hoping to learn more about improv.

	Survivor Episode 4: Annoyance Man in Charge?
		No one laughs and Annoyance Man, who has no self-confidence and makes up for his lack by acting like he thinks everything he says is funny, so much wishes that he had the balls to wear a dress because it looks so dang comfortable.
		Annoyance Man, as it turns out, is the swing vote and he knows it.
		Of course, this just increases his Annoyance Man powers and the non-thinks-they're-cool crowd grit their teeth and somehow agree to not kill Annoyance Man, begrudgingly admitting that they need his vote.

	PRESS RELEASE TheAnonymousEmail.com Successfully Obtains Clarification of Federal "Annoyance Law" in Its Suit Against ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		After agreeing to have the constitutional issues raised by the lawsuit resolved through motions and the ruling thereon, the parties obtained the Court's approval to proceed accordingly and began to brief their respective motions.
		According to the Government, the Annoyance Statute prohibits the anonymous use of a telephone or telecommunications device with intent to "instill fear in the victim."
		Based on the Government's position, the fact that the position is articulated in a publicly available court document filed by the Government, and the doctrine of judicial estoppel, TheAnonymousEmail.com concluded that it had succeeded to the extent it needed to at this time and that judicial resources would best be served by a stipulated dismissal.

	Annoyance
		To the extent that "annoyance" might be thought of as a very low grade hostility, I would suspect one or both of these two organs to implicated in the physiological experience.
		You might also want to take into account impulse control if you're thinking about why someone acts out on their annoyance, which is much easier to observe or measure than whether they feel annoyance that they don't act upon.
		I'm really not sure about annoyance, but since people react to it in so many different ways (some by calmly walking away, some by physically fighting, others by verbally fighting, etc.), I wouldn't think it would have an easy answer or single locus regulating the behaviors associated with annoyance.

		Most of the novel involves discussions of infighting within the bureau ("Are you telling me the Annoyance Bureau removes annoyances or creates them?" asks Lucas; "My question exactly!" Izzy replies), often at the expense of filling out relationships between Lucas and the other characters.
		He becomes somewhat of an authority on annoyances (he shares a bathroom with a horridly critical stepsister and is at the mercy of an abominable baby-sitter).
		He discovers that the agency has, itself, begun to generate annoyances-the very thing it was designed to control.

	Nihilism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		In contrast to the efforts to overcome nihilism noted above is the uniquely postmodern response associated with the current antifoundationalists.
		The philosophical, ethical, and intellectual crisis of nihilism that has tormented modern philosophers for over a century has given way to mild annoyance or, more interestingly, an upbeat acceptance of meaninglessness.
		French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard characterizes postmodernism as an "incredulity toward metanarratives," those all-embracing foundations that we have relied on to make sense of the world.
