Flying Stockholm to Helsinki takes 50-60 minutes, about an hour. I wonder how they got the 3.5 hour figure? Maybe if you fly to Copenhagen first, then to Helsinki.
Would you be interested in my farts? They are a much limited resource, and there is only one who can produce them at a very limited rate.
No, scarcity does not imply value. Scarcity can surely increase the amount people are willing to pay, but not if they weren't interested to start with.
Why should not lefthanders be allowed to enjoy the comfort and ergonomy of having the primary click button under their index finger? So that you can use their mice without having to readjust?
It always amazes me how often I see right-handers attempting to give 'good' advice to left-handers, for instance that left-handers should play guitar the right-handed way. In my opinion, people who have no experience in dealing with a backwards/mirrored world should not attempt to make themselves experts on left-handers.
I can use mice with both my hands. But not having the mouse in 'left-handed' mode when using the left hand just sucks. When I am just temporarily using someone else's computer I'll just go ahead and use my right hand (assuming it is a right-handed setup), though at the computers I use regularly I have it set up properly for left-handed use.
Entropy does not mean amount of chaos. Entropy can increase while the amount of disorder decreases (e.g. crystal forming). Here is a link to more information.
Information is just information. Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom. The distinction is important. Your senses pick up information, you are the judge in what becomes knowledge.
And the cash not moving is also what makes it possible for the banks to lend out your money multiple times (i.e. you deposit $1, they lend $10). This creates massive profit because the banks are creating money (the extra $9).
Yes, the waveforms become distorted because they are losing some harmonics. Luckliy they are all at such a frequency that you will not be able to hear the difference.
And the amplitude loss you mentioned does not affect the components you can hear, assuming you are sampling at an adequate rate (around 44khz).
Many people seem to believe that because the waveforms look different, it will sound different.
I would be very impressed if you could hear the difference between say an 18khz sine wave and an 18khz square/triangle/sawtooth wave. That would imply your ear is detecting harmonics above the frequency range the human ear is capable of.
Yeah I was there 3-4 years ago and also noticed the censoring. I remember seeing a harmless Cher cassette where they had filled in some exposed skin with red color.
Though I think it is not as bad in smaller cities, I was in Riyadh and that's probably the most tightly controlled place in Saudi.
I visited Riyadh (in Saudi Arabia) a couple of yeras ago and the amount of cassettes sold really surprised me. Most music stores seemed to sell most of the music in cassette format. I found what i wanted (Foxtrot by Genesis) though not in CD format:(
I shall not complain though, I still listen to the cassette in my car, which has not yet got a CD player.
It stands out because there is only one timeline which is never altered so there are never any "forks", and it still incorporates some interesting twists.
In the console window, try selecting text which starts in the middle of one row and wraps over to the next.
For some unknown reason, someone decided that it would be a good idea to let the selection always stay a rectangle. I can see some uses for it but most of the time it is just annoying.
The EROEI is largely irrelevant. It is (very) difficult to quantify and the EROEI comparisons do not give us much meaningful information. Some forms of energy are more useful than others.
Even if the EROEI ratio on using sunlight to make hydrogen is very low (compared to for instance pumping oil), the process is still useful, since no car runs on sunlight. It matters more if the result is useful and if the process is profitable. Oil companies don't care about EROEI and never will.
There is never any stair-stepping of the signal. Only if you leave out the output filter. If you play a 22khz signal through your 44khz soundcard you should get a sine wave out. If you are getting a square wave that means your output contains frequencies above 22khz (which a signal sampled at 44khz can not contain) and the sound card is faulty.
To make a simplified, imaginary example: If mechanism A makes sure there are no buffer overflows on static sized arrays and mechanism B assures no overflows on dynamically sized arrays, then both type of overflows are covered.
If the analogy of the weakest link would hold, no overflows at all would be prevented.
Security is stronger than the weakest link. If all those links would together cover 100% of all attacks it is stronger than the individual links. Which can not be said about chains. I hate comparisons to chains and links.
Except emulating hardware it will also emulate processor features such as paging, memory protection , interrupts etc. You don't want to/cannot use those features on the host processor so you have to emulate them.

How can information become "information"?

The best tim travel sci-fi story I've read is By his bootstraps (PDF) by Heinlein.

Yes, in this movie. It is at least as good as Dark Star.

That's great news! It always annoys me that notepad requires crlf but explorer nor wordpad does. It goes like this:
* Open text file in notepad, discover it puts everything in one big fat line
* Drag it into explorer to be able to read it correctly.
There should at least be an option in notepad to set which method for linefeed to be used, or how difficuld could it be to just fix it?
And the same thing applies to the windows default edit/text-boxes, you need a \r\n to make a new line.
..when I don't even want to get up in the mornings. Ok, It is good for me, but I never want to.
They forgot to add "slashdot moderators" to the list!
They also need limiters to make sure they do not transmit signals more powerful than what they are allowed to.
I doubt the brain models the trajectory as a differential equation.

I wonder if their data has any correlation with my fruit consumption. Or perhaps my bank account size. Who knows?
No matter what, we can always come up with a new plausible explanation. I am glad there is the Occam's Razor. I wonder how they are applying it.
I choke under pressure; therefore I am smart
