In this context, "problem" was meant as in "mathematical problem", not environmental.

It's a 4:3 monitor with a fantastic colour and contrast. It's also been serving me faithfully for 6 or 7 years without causing any problems.
So needless to say, I am both a fan of Eizo monitors and lesser-than-HD aspect ratios. I am intrigued by this 1:1 aspect ratio Eizo monitor, but 26" is too big for my home. It is, however, almost ideal at work, where I do research: reading scientific articles and doing MEMS design would benefit a lot from this very monitor.

They are advocating against fossil fuels, not against heating. Maybe you missed that detail in your zeal to impose fascist policies. Your post was not far removed from the Italian fascists feeding castor oil to political opponents.

It's not Oil being a part of the equation, it's cheap oil, which really wasn't available until he beginning of the 20th, that was the feedstock for all that complexity.

See how much innovation and growth you can manage when just brewing your cup of coffee in the morning either requires you to build a fire or fork over lots of money for a few watts.

This, a million times. The freight business is getting an enormous de-facto subsidy by not paying it's fair share of road consumption. If that makes it un-competitive compared to rail transportation, then let it die and as you said, invest more in the rail infrastructure.

Wait a second: GP listed reasons why Microsoft was and still is a sociopathic entity, and your one and only counterargument is "I have long ago concluded that on Slashdot success = evil"? Looks like you arrived to the end of your brain, and it was a very short journey indeed.

Ah, Slashdot. Where everyone's a rugged individualist, whip smart, and an IT god.

No wonder this place collapsed, burdened as it was it was by the greatest ego load known to mankind.

Broadly speaking, I agree, but you're overthinking it: all those companies failed or were significantly crippled because of a simple issue: corporate psychopaty. People in top positions including and especially CxOs, looking after their own interest at the expense of everybody else's. In previous years you had executives that tried to manage their companies for a long-term success. Nowadays, most executives (of large publicly traded companies) are just parasites. But even parasites don't try to kill their host. Corporate psychopaths don't give a shit - they just jump ship using their vast network of connections/golf buddies to land a new executive job at another company.

How do you pronounce "Kuiper?"

Is it like "cooper?"
Or is it like "kiper" - rhymes with hyper?

I suppose I am to some degree being pedantic, but if the term causality had occurred in his explanation, or he'd said "X causes Y" is invariant I'd not have replied.

Again no. A running coming from the other direction would see the doors close in the other order. I think the AC parallel to this post explains it pretty well.

No. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/... and for the longer version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.... In these examples, the doors either close at the same time for the observer stationary with respect to the barn, or at different times for the observer running with the pole.

Uh... I don't know what did I write that you cold misunderstand as suggesting breaking the law.

I have last heard him in 2013. At least up until that point, he has not improved. If anything, he's crystallized into that interesting, virtuoso but ultimately empty style that the review very well described. His recitals showcase his incredible control of the instrument, but leave the audience completely unfulfilled, with no real musical experience to speak of.

I've heard Lazic's recitals, and I must say, this review perfectly describes them. All of them. The man is talented, certainly, but fails to produce even the slightest musical effect on the listener. His play is a waste of great pianistic control - all that control and virtuosism bring about nothing of substantial value.
