  1. Russia should be divided between Norway and Mongolia.
  2. I want to clarify that I am not very comfortable with my own example of Turing Machine. Calling the instructions, a 'software' there is already a stretch. I think that it was von Neumann's idea to have instructions in memory like other data. This was the birth of software.
  3. Does it make it a "good intension"?
  4. As in staying president after being democratically defeated.
  5. No. No. Yes. Turing machine. The tape with cells, the head, the register -- hardware. The set of instructions -- software.
  6. Are there rules for using metaphors? More metaphors?
  7. No. The principles of computing had to be invented first.
  8. Yes, certainly. This question, I don't understand. Sorry. Never, if I understand the question correctly.
  9. One of my university professors used to say, "I can be a software engineer without ever stepping into the computer room." (It was time when computers were mainframes.) Memory is hardware. Its content is software.
  10. Doing it in SR, f1 = emitted frequency f2 = received and reflected frequency by the car f3 = measured frequency: f2 = f1 * sqrt(...) f3= f2 * sqrt(...) = f1 * sqrt(...) * sqrt(...) = f1 * ... No sqrt(...) in the final calculation.
  11. It is called "a wishful thinking."
  12. In order not to waste septic freshwater, many households here use it, appropriately filtered, for irrigation.
  13. sqrt() is not needed because it is multiplied twice.
  14. Desalinated water, by reverse osmosis, is the fresh water this entire island lives on.
  15. and close to the ocean as well. And all that just for flashing toilet?
  16. It will not. No, it is not.
  17. Looks like all you need to do is to find a better word than 'happiness.' Guidelines to satisfaction?
  18. No. Infinite. Depends on the proportion of the colors in the mixture. But if you are asking, how many different pairs can one make out of n different items, then the answer is n(n-1)/2.
  19. This is known as conspiracy theory.
  20. You get the book answer if you use 100 mph instead of 100 km/hour.
  21. I'm getting about 2000.
  22. For the lack of data, this is the working hypothesis for now. You are in an "alternative reality":
  23. What does make you think so?
  24. In addition to the abovementioned factors, there is a change in breathing pattern. In normal breathing, our inhalations and exhalations are of about equal duration. Underwater, if we do it right, our inhalations are normal or faster than normal, while our exhalations are long and slow. This breathing pattern might have physiological and psychological effects, akin yoga perhaps. Maybe the effect is caused not by any one factor, but by the fact that the entire experience is so different from "our terrestrial days" (?)
