    Disclaimer: I am NOT saying that I think 24/192 is a good idea or makes any difference. That being said, the author makes the error to assume that we experience music only with our…

    How is OSX's directory setup more logical than the traditional Unix one? Be careful not to confuse your familiarity with one system with it's inherent qualities. I have switched be…

    Are you intentionally misrepresenting what I said in the other comments? Quote: 'It's not about "having it my way"' (Explanation follows). Also, is it not allowed to make statement…

    Good point. What I was trying to convey is that it happened the other way round. I know english well because it is the language CS takes place in. Had it been chinese, I had learne…

    They have the freedom to do make that decision just as I have the freedom to voice my disagreement. Ok, maybe their english sucks. Do you ever get better at something by not practi…

    Yes... relying to machine-translation for important content, always a good idea.

    You're missing the point comletely. There needs to be a common, agreed on ("standard") intercommunication language for exchange of knowledge to happen. For computer science related…

    The implied "it is used by a lot of people so it must be good" is a non sequitur. Also, all these "real websites" also have very real problems that come from using PHP.

    Then why don't you code your websites in brilliant elegant brainfuck? The statement "It is possible to write good, or bad code, in any language" (1) might be true, but it misses th…

    Taking care of radioactive waste for thousands of years requires energy. How do you propose we generate that energy?

    Radiometric dating is very reliable. I would be interested in seeing this "different analysis". Can you provide a source please?

    Chopping down trees to make room for wind farms is certainly dumb. If you take a closer look that is yet another story about the dangers of subsidies. "nuclear fuel is 2 million ti…

    U238 decays to (among others) Polonium which will kill your very fast from inside you body. I think your estimate is off by a few orders of magnitude. Edit: "pure U238" is another …
