The canadian language is fine, my friends speaks it and even knows scienco dialect. But that paywall thing is major roadblock :)

What we need, is that someone would leak the report and the whole drama would be moot. Where's A(nonymous)-Team?

Apple Airport Extreme does it extremely well.

I'm not sure I use audio beatdetection in real life often, if ever ... still, it's about 10% of final result on my computer. :)

Very interesting to hear, how you came to that conclusion.

On Causality You see, when you ask why something happens, how does a person answer why something happens? For example, Aunt Minnie is in the hospital. Why? Because she went out on the ice and slipped and broke her hip. That satisfies people. But it wouldn't satisfy someone who came from another planet and knew nothing about things... When you explain a why, you have to be in some framework that you've allowed something to be true. Otherwise you're perpetually asking why... You go deeper and deeper in various directions. Why did she slip on the ice? Well, ice is slippery. Everybody knows that-no problem. But you ask why the ice is slippery... And then you're involved with something, because there aren't many things slippery as ice... A solid that's so slippery? Because it is in the case of ice that when you stand on it, they say, momentarily the pressure melts the ice a little bit so that you've got an instantaneous water surface on which you're slipping. Why on ice and not on other things? Because water expands when it freezes. So the pressure tries to undo the expansion and melts it... I'm not answering your question, but I'm telling you how difficult a why question is. You have to know what it is permitted to understand... and what it is you're not. You'll notice in this example that the more I ask why, it gets interesting after a while. That's my idea, that the deeper a thing is, the more interesting... (Richard Feynman) If you know how, then you know why.

Same power got me flowing. Say, we're done a full circle with these now, aren't we?

In Estonia you log into e-tax dept webpage via bank or ID-card and click OK couple of times on prefilled form and that's it. If surplus, they transfer it to your bank account.

I think general relativity is not understandable because it's taught in schools than Newtonian. And even when it's taught, it's taught badly because teachers haven't took time to get a grasp of it. How can you teach something you don't understand! :) GR is easy, one just have to take time and read it through, for starters :)

Obviously, author has never ridden a motorcycle - he has absolutely no idea, what it takes to ride such thing. On motorcycle, you have a throttle, first brake, rear brake, 6 gears and clutch. To ride it, you have to (ok, don't have to but would be good) understand counter-steering. And on IT? lean yourself and twist the stick. That's all. Pfffff.

mandatory: imagine Beowulf cluster of those.

news don't leak when they are not leaked. We still don't know who killed Kennedy.
