A single standard deviation is not enough, normal procedure is to allow up to three standard deviations (or more, sometimes five), which puts the measurement in a range consistent with models.

Yes, it is -the- basic assumptions for special relativity. And no, it doesn't just change our understanding of photons, it changes everything, since it's all connected. All theories I've looked at so far have (at least in higher versions) i

Yes, that is what it means. :)

I was to Fiji, and some of the islands had internet. One of them had a satellite connection, and apparently it was good enough for Skyping (I talked to someone having their job interview with a company in Singapore, it seemed to work great)

It sounds like we really should change the system to where automatisation of those jobs is a good thing. The situation is simply ridiculous - we can feed everyone, there is way enough stuff for everyone (at least in the richer countries, an

Is it really? I thought it only gave a new capcha, without me giving a reason. I mean, there is a difference between being unable to read a word because it's so mangled and not being able to type something because I don't have that typeset

Ah. So these people are responsible for japanese, greek and formulas in my capchas.. they should really have a "I can't type this" button for more efficiency.

If you want real maths and not just calculating, you'll need to do lots and lots of exercises. It's best if someone more experienced can grade them (it's hard to judge your own proofs), but looking at solutions helps too. You can get books

Maybe if there was a robot to program, I guess that would count.. now that would be a great opening move on part of the company! :D Let's see.. you'd have to get the robot into the right position (maybe find it with sensors - what kind of

How would I go about programming my way out of a paper bag? It creates the weirdest ideas and images in my mind.

It depends on where the electricity and the gasoline come from, clearly. If the electricity comes from burning coal, not so great, if it comes from wind turbines, great! You can even use the car batteries as storage. And if the gasoline is

You say it's easy. I don't think so, for several reasons: - If you collect raw data, everyone in the group knows. You can claim instrument failure, of course, but then you'd have everyone around trying to help. - From the raw data alone it'

We should really be looking at energy usage then and not electricity. (Is heating with electricity even that common in the US?)

As science is done in big teams I'd say it would take a lot to cover someones ass. You usually have a professor, some scientists and a heckload of students of all levels, all interested in finding out the truth (more or less I guess). I'm i

Just use the headphones without music to only get the wins from this. It's not like anyone except you can tell the difference.

You will always find someone who minds (like me, in this case), and you will find people who don't mind. Whatever you do, you'll always influence the situation.
