Interesting, but I thought a lot of the way we determine the direction of sound is through triangulation, in combination with the delay it takes from sound to hit one ear and then the other. That's why when you try hard to listen for where something is coming from, you often instinctively tilt your head slightly. (and the time for sound to travel from one ear to the other is also why when you hear things underwater, you have trouble telling where they come from because sound travels faster in water than in air)

This isn't the same thing. What's being measured here is the reaction time, which isn't the same as measuring how fast an animal's appendages move.

If hardware isn't the problem, then it must be an algorithmic one. So, why can't an algorithm be discovered that is a breakthrough?

Victim of shitty moderators

What do waves and tides have to do with it? Why don't we start talking about deadly world pools and sea monsters?

No, it's just you that don't get plural forms (or have a sense of humor, apparently)

The Oxford Dictionary would disagree with you (too)

I didn't see BasilBrush mentioning the Oxford Dictionary in any of his posts, so I think it is you that are failing to comprehend (*snicker*) a comment thread.

It seems you have some trouble with nuances English, so let me enlighten you. Weather is a non-countable noun, like paper or water. So many instances of weather is still weather, and so, climate being many instances of weather, means that, in fact, climate is weather.

So you're calling out Oxford Dictionaries... Huh... *shrugs*

You can look up weather by different time periods. By the hour, the day, so why not the week, the month, the year, or even the century? As per the definition, there is no time period where weather ceases to be weather. Therefore climate is just weather over a longer period then we normally use, but that doesn't mean it is no longer weather.

Which is why climate is weather but weather isn't (always) climate.

climate
noun: climate; plural noun: climates

        the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

So, climate *is* weather.

Free Speech Zones? That's a new one

I didn't say oil is getting cheaper. I said it is cheaper, e.g., oil is cheaper with this technology than without it.

Your math is off. The cheaper oil is the more we rely on it as an energy source as opposed to less dirty alternatives.
