It is not about compliance (existing accounts are kept, and decision to prevent signups is made purely on the basis of the IP address and not e.g. the country that issued the credit card). It is about avoiding the promised blocking of outgo

Superconductivity is not really a "yes or no" property. It can be destroyed by a too-strong external magnetic field, or, equivalently, a too-strong current. The quantitative side of this thing (i.e. what allows us to say "sup

I tried to do so, too. Decided to make no compromises, i.e. that any compressor-based refrigerator is unacceptable. So, bought a small absorption refrigerator from Dometic. Indeed no noise at all (because there are no moving parts), but it

So, this is a combination of 6 tests, and each has 3 variants of the answer. That's definitely not enough to make useful statistical conclusions about the ability to detect bad 128kbps audio, simply because it is rare. Indeed, the prob
