All the postings on 180 deg phase shifts reminds me of standard questions I
ask when interviewing for positions which require some knowledge of DSP.

	"WHEN WOULD YOU USE A FIR FILTER?"

	"If I wanted a linear phase linear phase characteristics."

	"HOW DO YOU GET A LINEAR PHASE CHARACTERISTIC? "

	"Have a symeterical time response."

	"WHERE ARE THE ZEROS?

	"On the unit circle."

	"DOESN'T THAT GIVE PHASE SHIFTS OF 180 DEG'S?

(it's kind of fun watching people sort through the dichotomy - everyone KNOWS
 symeterical fir filters have linear phase, but the zeros are on the unit
 circle - which does give a 180 deg phase shift)

I suppose it depends on how one wants to interperate signal inversion.
