Do you know when that change was put into place? I have been using Mathematica sense version 5 and my intuition was that `b[x] == 3`. Testing in mathematica 8 which I have on hand confirms this.

by davorak 12y ago
The issue that hamburglar seemed to have is that he was relying too heavily on social proof. Something like "My ideas are the best out of the people I know so I should bet heavily on them" does not work well when your friends to d

My vague understanding of the sprit of the law that allowed broadcasters use of the public airwaves was that it required for the individuals to be able to make use of the transmissions. Aero by many is seen as a tool to make use of those tr

Thank you for the link. One subscriber uses one antenna at a time. That is how I thought it worked. When you said that "You're just buying individual access to an independently owned and operated antenna array." I thought you

by davorak 12y ago
That is not clear to me. I can not pay Aero to set up and maintain the antenna and equipment or at least that is what this ruling seems to indicate. If I can not pay some one to do it for me why is ok for me to do the work with my own two h
